9to5 Entertainment System (9ES)

Honestly all of the news surrounding the 2024 election cycle is equal parts exhausting and terrifying.   The pop-culture movie nerd in me kind of feels like in the trilogy of Trump running for president, the 2024 election is where[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

What can we say about Avengers of Justice: Farce Wars that hasn’t already been said? Apparently a whole lot.   Avengers of Justice literally does not have any ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. I am pretty sure that means it doesn’t[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES314: Also Never Reviewed On RT appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

I’m really happy that Godzilla Minus One won an Academy Award. We take the piss out of the Oscars almost every year. There’s something wrong with a system that takes a look at hundreds of movies a year and then[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES313: A Thing appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

It is no surprise that at least one of us saw Furiosa pretty close to it’s release. You need only look at “The List” and see Fury Road proudly sitting in the #2 spot to know that at least some[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES312: PLAY FIGHT CLUB appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

I know that we’ve talked about “Late Night With The Devil” before on this show but it’s a rare thing that all three hosts manage to see the same movie within like 2 months of its release date. So here[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES311: Trash Talking 5.0 appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

Regardless of where you stand on the actual ethics and claims made in the various diss tracks during the Kendrick vs Drake beef – I would be hard-pressed to come up with a rapper this side of MF Doom (RIP)[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Zack Snyder scargiveth and Zack Snyder scartaketh away. That sentence is apropos of nothing other than fun wordplay with the very dumb title that is Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Scargiver. Also I’m wondering just how deep the Scargiver[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES309: Antiauteur Afficianados appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

This episode of the 9to5 Entertainment System is steeped in nostalgia and it’s almost entirely unintentional. I guess the new season of X-Men ‘97 has us all thinking about simpler times.   Simpler times like when Brian Mulroney was in[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I daresay that The 9to5 Entertainment System might be the only podcast in the history of podcasts to discuss Godzilla x Kong, Roadhouse and Ingmar Bergman’s 1982 opus Fanny and Alexander in the same hour.   Let’s call talking about[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

We spend a lot of time in this episode talking about the fact that Scott chose to watch Madame Web instead of literally almost any other movie that has come out in the last 12 months. Why did he choose[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry... The post 9ES306: Madame Why appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc) .

  I feel like Scott and Jon did not truly appreciate how terrible the “Willy Wonka Experience” was for those unfortunate enough to find themselves trapped in that horrible Glasgow warehouse.

Long time listeners of the show know that Jon loves himself some Cory Doctorow and you can take the word of the man himself: ‘Enshittification’ is coming for absolutely everything.   Seriously, give the article a read.

Man, I was really hoping this episode was just going to be about Last Action Hero. Last Action Hero was great. Great soundtrack, great action, an animated talking cat and Tywin Lannister hiding his exploding eye in sneaky places.  […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

I wonder if 25 years from now we will look upon Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon with fresh eyes and realize that it is in fact a great sci-fi satire the likes of Starship Troopers?   I doubt it.   But[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

You may have noticed that this episode is not a retrospective on 2023. Do you know why? Because Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon demanded our attention. Nay, Rebel Moon commanded our attention.   Honestly though, we’re all in our 40s now.[…] ↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Well everyone, we are closing out the year with our 300th episode. It’s time to radically re-brand and make this show the Steamboat Willie Entertainment System.

The movie “Totally Killer” is about a teenager who goes back in time to the 80s to find herself going toe-to-toe with a serial killer right out of an 80s slasher film.

This is something new! Keith is off on vacation, Jon’s sick and Scott’s cool so we’re unloading previously unheard Garbage Time content to cover our asses.

I think the thing that struck me the most about the Barbie movie is that when Ken has a beach accident (despite being fully qualified for “Beach”) he receives prompt and free medical care.
