Commando Prompt

*Full story spoilers begin around the 1:11:18 mark* We are starting our revenge month out strong with 2003's, Kill Bill Vol. 1, or as Quentin Tarantino likes to refer to it, his fourth movie. Grievances we have with Tarantino aside (which we get into heavily), this is a solid action movie. And what makes it even better is that Rik Shellhammer joins us to talk all about it! If you miss this epi...

*Full story spoilers begin around the 1:17:00 mark* Hoo, daddy! Yes indeed! Today's episode is a regular hog fire, and not just because we are talkin' The Blair Witch Project, but because we have our very first guest! Andrew Weigel joins us today to talk about the new documentary he worked on, Kelce, why he loves James Gandolfini, and, maybe most importantly, refuse to apologize to me, Eth...

*STORY SPOILERS BEGIN AT 52:20* Content warning: brief mention of sexual assault/rape at 1:52:10 - 1:52:30 It's officially Halloween month, y'all, and Andy and I are THRIVING. Well, Andy is more than me right now because, surprise -- I'm sick! Strap in and enjoy this episode on 2007's propulsive, Rec, an absolute banger of a movie. If you haven't seen this movie, definitely wat...

*FULL STORY SPOILERS THROUGHOUT* Well, here we are. We did it? Hoo boy. This one nearly broke us. I am happy it didn't, because our next theme is so good, but boy howdy -- this is a tough movie! It's fun (?) and interesting (??), but it sure has a lot of problems! Figure them out with us! This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bo...

*FULL STORY SPOILERS THROUGHOUT* Unlike my GI tract, Commando Prompt is back on a regular schedule, baby (sorry about that joke)! Today we are talking 2016's 10 Cloverfield Lane, the not-quite-a-sequel-but-exists-in-the-same-universe to 2008's Cloverfield, or as Ethan likes to call it, Cloverfield Prime. Please make this universe make sense, JJ Abrams! We don't get it! Regardless, this...

*FULL STORY SPOILERS THROUGHOUT* We're back, baby! Did you miss us? Please give a warm welcome to my new co-host, Andy Hollinger! To make our return special, we decided to make our first theme the Cloververse, J.J. Abrams' weird ass shared universe that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but makes nerds like Andy and I salivate. We are starting off, of course, with 2008's Cloverfie...

Ah, Armageddon. What is there to say about this classic 1998 film about a big rock spiraling towards Earth? Well, apparently a lot! We take a deep dive into this unhinged film to see what all Bruce Willis and the gang have to do to save the world. Whether it is the writing and dialogue of the fine oil workers turned astronauts, or, the odd father-daughter relationship development, Michael Bay sure...

*FULL STORY SPOILERS THROUGHOUT* Today we are talking about 2010's surprisingly great, The Crazies! I surprisingly mostly because Johnny and I are still recovering from our Resident Evil episode. That was a lot for us. But we are back in ~good movie~ territory, and we're ready to build a home! Please join us as we close out our Zombie month! This is a public episode. If you would like to d...

*FULL SPOILERS THROUGHOUT* Lucky number 7, baby. Well, it sure doesn't feel lucky because hoo boy, this movie was a slog to get through. Our first RESIDENT STINKER of the pod. There will most likely be more, but geesh this movie was a bit rough. Interesting attempt at rebooting the Resident Evil film series, with good bones, but let's just hope that if they make a sequel they.... improve a...

*FULL SPOILERS THROUGHOUT EPISODE* Welcome one and all to Berlin! That's where we are going in today's episode as Johnny and I talk through 2017's very fun Atomic Blonde. And! We talk through our first sex scene! Beautiful stuff. This is a public episode.

*FULL SPOILERS FOR BATTLE ROYALE THROUGHOUT* Seriously..... who do you have a crush on? Because, believe it or not, 2000's Battle Royale -- a movie that is ostensibly about 40+ 15 year-olds trapped on an island where they are forced to kill each other -- is mostly about crushes and who you like and if you're popular or not and whether or not you were on the basketball team. So, please, bef...

Ho ho ho my sweet, Santa babies! Welcome to another episode of Commando Prompt, a podcast where I, Ethan, mess up the intro nearly every time! FULL STORY SPOILERS THROUGHOUT THIS EPISODE. This episode we are talkin' 2015's Sicaro, directed by Denis Villenueve (Arrival, Blade Runner 2049) and written by Taylor Sheridan (Hell or High Water, Wind River). This one is... a touch grim, and why w...

Ho, ho, ho (this is my bit now, I am Santa, you're getting a Zune!), my sweet elves. Today we're talking 2011's Hanna. Strap in and buckle up (those are the same) because this movie was a real shocker. We toss around our English majors a whole heck of a lot in this episode, so I hope you like that sort of stuff. As usual, SPOILERS THROUGHOUT. I actually never wrote that into the descri...

Y'all ever want to time travel? Y'all ever want to time travel and prevent a virus that kills 99.9% of the population? Well, so did Bruce Willis in 1995's seminal 12 Monkeys.
