Adam Analyzes

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I took a look at the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem! A film that is yet another reboot of the franchise that will not die (which is a good thing!). This time around it's an animated film that was written, as well as produced by Seth Rogen and his frequent collaborator, Evan Goldberg. This one is...

I am back with a brand new episode of Adam Analyzes & my thoughts on the brand new Christopher Nolan directed film, Oppenheimer! A movie that is at it's heart, is a historical drama, it also tries to show J. Robert Oppenheimer was with his methods and the guilt over creating a weapon of mass destruction. This is all rounded out with a fantastic supporting cast that all provide excellent pe...

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I took a look at the latest effort from DC, with the delayed by years, The Flash. A film that was not just delayed by a certain beer flu, but also delayed by the new regime at DC with the hiring of James Gunn & Peter Safran but also the film's controversial star. I decided with this one to try to put aside my feelings with all of that and simp...

For this week's episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I talk about my trip to New Jersey to see Jersey Girl: The Snyder Cut at Kevin Smith's SModcastle Cinemas. It was an awesome day in New Jersey that had me first going from the Quick Stop to Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash to finally ending up at SModcastle Cinemas where I not only got to see a rare cut of a very divided film amo...

For this week's episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I took a look at the new film from James Gunn & Marvel with Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3. For me this was a long awaited return for my favorite MCU series and characters, it also marks the end of the Guardians of the Galaxy series. By now we mostly know what to expect from the Guardians and for those of us that enjoy it, this was a we...

For this week's episode of the Adam Analyzes podcast, I somewhat take a look at the Shazam sequel, Shazam: Fury of the Gods. By now we all know this is a flop for WB and DC, this is also more or less a near final death blow to the DCEU. This honestly was a tough one to talk about since it wasn't a bad movie at all and yet it wasn't all around great either, So I mostly discussed why thi...

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes podcast, I take a look at the new entry in the Evil Dead franchise, Evil Dead Rise. This new entry takes the action out of the cabin and into the city with a high-rise apartment building as the new setting. This is also notable for being another entry that does not feature Bruce Campbell in his iconic role as Ash Williams...well in front of the camera at least...

For this episode of Adam Analyzes, I return from my slight hiatus and checked out the recently released, Renfield. A film that is an original take on the well known Universal Monsters Dracula story, this one is taken to modern times with a focus on Count Dracula's familiar, Robert Montague Renfield. Oh yeah its also a film that happens to feature, NICOLAS CAGE as Dracula! Have a listen to find...

For this week's episode, I checked out Scream 6. The latest in the long-running slasher film franchise and second to be directed by the creative team known as Radio Silence. Picking up where the first rebootquel ended, this one wisely decides to change the setting to New York and feels like a somewhat fresh take on the standard scream formula.  Have a listen to find out my thoughts on this on...

For this week's return of the Adam Analyzes podcast, I decided to revisit an often forgotten sequel with Bride of Re-Animator. Directed by Brian Yuzna and with a returning cast of Jeffrey Combs as Dr. Herbert West along with Bruce Abbott as Dan Cain, this is a sequel that doesn't quite live up to it's predecessor but is still a lot of fun! This sequel is also an early showpiece of awesome practica...

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I took a look at the recent re-release of Titanic. Celebrating its 25th anniversary, this marks the second time this film has been released in 3-D, however this time it sports a brand-new 4K remaster.

For this week's episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I tackled the new Brandon Cronenberg written and directed film, Infinity Pool! Starring Alexander Skarsgard and Mia Goth, this is one wild ride that works as horror, sci-fi, satire & a touch of dark comedy.

This is also a film that is NOT an Edgar Allan Poe adaptation, however it definitely feel...

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I take a belated look at the Zach Cregger directed film, Barbarian. A film that has since its original release back in September of 2022, has made its way on many horror movie outlets as on of the best horror films of last year. In addition to having an intensity that rarely lets up, it is also surprisingly funny at times and is firmly rooted in some...

For this week's Episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I took a look at one of my favorite James Gunn directed films, Super. A story about an average guy that goes through emotional tragedy and decides to become a superhero to fight crime...with a wrench!

Happy Thanksgiving!! For this special episode of the Adam Analyzes podcast, I discuss how we should always be thankful for what we have in life and the 2010 Spencer Susser directed film, Hesher. A film that is heavy on emotion with a theme of loss but realizing what you still have in life is a movie that really feels relevant to what the holiday, Thanksgiving should be about. Hesher is a film that...

Starring The Rock in the title role as the famous Anti-Hero, this one is honestly a bit of a mixed bag, however it does provide some insight to where the future of DC on film may go in future films, especially with the stinger scene, which is honestly why I went to see this one! Have a list...

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I decided to time-travel all the way back to the ancient year of 1999, with the Rodman Flender directed, Idle Hands. A critical and box-office flop on its original release, this Evil Dead 2 "inspired" film now firmly holds a cult-favortite status amongst horror fans. It also just so happens to have some fairly awesome practical effects! Have a listen...
