2 Middle Aged Geeks on Film

FORMERLY 2 Mediocre White Dudes on Film, we are NOW 2 Middle Aged Geeks on Film!  Nothing else has changed. The same passion.  The same fire.  The same (mostly) positivity.  The same banter. The same tangents.... In fact today we have a doozy of one - as a bonus to today's film, PJ and I take a deep dive into the first episode of Freddy's Nightmares! Our main topic though is Dylan's New Nightmare:...

Ooooh boy.  This is a nightmare.  But not in a good way.  We don't like trashing films...but sometimes they deserve it. We do our best to be entertaining..unlike this film. #anightmareonelmstreet #jackieearlehaley #rooneymara #freddykrueger 

PJ and I had SUCH a blast gushing over this one.  We both found so much more in this one than we even remembered on this watch...and we already liked it a lot!  This is the type of episode that makes us happy we do this podcast together! Of course there is the requisite pre-gaming of anything but Nightmare...we talk Brett Goldstein (we really want to be on Films to be Buried With), Scrubs, Shrinki...

PJ & I love Rachel Talalay from her work on Doctor Who, Tank Girl and many other projects so we're excited to see her make her debut as a director in a series she worked on throughout! The first Final Nightmare! Tonally inconsistent with the rest of the series thus far, there is a lot to enjoy!

A film we were....surprised by!   Stephen Hopkins films takes some swings and might not always connect, but it is better than its reputation.   #anightmareonelmstreet5 #anightmareonelmstreet #freddykrueger #robertenglund 

Renny Harlin (and others....) manage to direct the hell out of a film that despite everything working against it, so many bad decisions, and a deadline ends up being entertaining!   #anightmareonelmstreet4 #nightmareonelmst  #freddykrueger  #robertenglund 

PEAK Freddy Krueger.  When you think of Nightmare on Elm Street....when you think of Freddy Krueger. THIS is the Krueger/Nightmare  you think of.  So many iconic kills, so many iconic people involved!  PJ & I were so happy to return and talk this sequel.  Top 3 horror sequels of all time! #anightmareonelmstreet3 #nightmareonelmst #freddykrueger #robertenglund #laurencefishburne #wescraven 

What an interesting film.  Sat between two of the more definitive entries to in the franchise, this one takes some wild swings for a Part II. Some work, and some don't, but it's definitely a fun one to talk about! #anightmareonelmstreeet2 #nightmareonelmst #robertenglund #freddykrueger

A soft spot for me, this is the film that brought me into the wonderful world of horror.  A truly iconic film.  PJ & I get to talk all about Robert Englund, Wes Craven, Johnny Depp, John Saxon, Lin Shaye, and Heather Langenkamp!    This is one is a labor of love for me truly! #anightmareonelmstreet #nightmareonelmst #robertenglund #johnnydepp #wescraven #linshaye #johnsaxon #freddykrueger

The conclusion (for now) of the John Wick series. PLD & PJ breakdown the fourth and possibly best movie in the series - Great action, great emotional beats, great lore building, great characters. #johnwick4review #johnwick4 #johnwick #keanureeves #chadstahelski #ianmcshane #lancereddick #laurencefishburne

WARNING. For forty minutes we talk about almost anything but John Wick...Rocky, Rambo, Star Wars, Marvel, Hobbit, etc. BUT then we got all in and had a fantastic time discussing the third entry in this beloved action franchise! #johnwick3parabellum #johnwick3 #johnwick #keanureeves #chadstahelski #ianmcshane #lancereddick #asiakatedillon #laurencefishburne #starwars #marvel #rocky #rambo #Searchfo...

Recorded in the darkest hour, we may have eschewed our usual long pre-game banter, but the meat of the conversation is a plenty!  We talk all about John Wick Chapter 2, it's legacy, where it sits in the saga, and we split our opinion on Common!  Enjoy! #johnwick2 #johnwick #johnwickchapter2 #johnwickmovie #keanureeves #chadstahelski #ianmcshane #lancereddick #johnleguizamo #rubyrose #common 

FINALLY! The 2MWD are back! And for our patron Kelly, we are beginning the John Wick franchise! Buckle up as we take in this ballet of violence! #johnwick #keanureeves #chadstahelski #davidleitch #ianmcshane #lancereddick #johnleguizamo

A very special 2MWD!  PLD & PJ welcome director of Never Hike Alone & Never Hike Alone 2, Vincent DiSanti.  We get to break down his films and get some overall thoughts on the Friday the 13th saga!

PJ & PLD can't get enough of Jason so we decided to cover Womp Stomp Films' Never Hike Alone Series. We start with Never Hike Alone: The Ghost Cut - A Friday the 13th Fan Film Anthology. Now the Ghost Cut was released in 2020, but the first film, Never Hike Alone was released in 2017. The Ghost Cut takes that original film, adds the later prequel (Never Hike in the Snow), as well as the musica...

The end of the Friday the 13th saga proper (but don't worry - we're gonna keep it going by covering Womp Stomp's Never Hike Alone duology!). PJ and PLD come to the defense of the maligned Michael Bay produced reboot of the franchise. PLD Projects: SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/5hlkTdV...

JOIN THE PATREON PLD & PJ go to hell to discuss this film....Take that as you will! #fridaythe13th #JasonVoorhees #horror #movies #reviews #jasongoestohell

JOIN THE PATREON We apologize...If Jason Takes a Cruise is your favorite Friday film, you may not want to watch. We're not big fans which is a bummer for us. But let's figure out why! To counter we also talk Godzilla Minus One, Timeless Heroes: Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford, and A Disturbance in the Force! #fridaythe13th #JasonVoorhees #horror #movies #reviews #harrisonford #indianajones #lucasf...

JOIN THE PATREON Back to back bangers! After spending the first 40 minutes talking about Marvel and...of course...Doctor Who (Yes a spinoff podcast is coming!) both PLD and PJ welcome Kane Hodder with open arms as our new favorite Jason! Nostalgia pulls for PLD as this is the first Friday he ever saw! #fridaythe13th #JasonVoorhees #horror #movies #reviews

Going from one of the more disappointing entries into the franchise to perhaps...arguably...the greatest installment. PLD & PJ gush about this one QUITE a bit as it is just a FUN FUN movie. Up top we also go into horror icons, Leatherface vs Chucky, the death of Matthew Perry, the Strikes, Doctor Who (of course - we really just got to bite the bullet and make a Doctor Who podcast), and more!

What do we do now that we killed Jason? The horniest and most drug induced Friday the 13th yet. GO REGGIE! Bring the enchiladas and coke and settle in for a Mediocre rant or two...

The FIRST Final chapter in the series...and the one where it feels that Jason finally arrives? Great characters, Great kills, and a Great conversation between PLD & PJ. Not to mention we have quite a long discussion beforehand involving Horror, Halloween, Saw, and so much more....and THEN as a bonus? Stick around at the end and we talk the new Doctor Who trailer!
