This week's episode of Adam Analyzes brings us to the 2022 David Blue Garcia directed, Texas Chainsaw Massacre. For the 2022 film, we received a direct continuation to the original horror classic, that was also originally supposed to go to theatres before being dumped to Netflix...Never a good sign.

Riddle me this, Riddle me that...who wants a reboot of the bat? This week's episode brings us to the Matt Reeves directed, The Batman.

Its close to Valentine's Day and for this week's episode of Adam Analyzes, I decided to watch the 2013 Jonathan Levine directed, Warm Bodies.

This week's episode of Adam Analyzes, takes us back to 1996 with the sequel to the ALF sitcom, Project: ALF. A film that doesn't exactly break new ground or betray what came before in the original show, is sadly an unloved entry in the saga known as ALF. But given its reputation and the noticeable absence of the Tanner family from the TV show (Which makes sense with how the original show ended), i...

The answer to this is kind of...I think? Have a listen to this week's episode to see what I thou...

This week's episode of Adam Analyzes, brings us to the final week of my holiday themed films for the month of December with, Ernest Saves Christmas. The Ernest P.

This week's episode of Adam Analyzes brings us to the Richard Donner directed, Scrooged.

I also discuss how this feels like a throw back release to...

For this week's episode of Adam Analyzes, I tried to get into the holiday spirit with something that does not exactly embody the holiday spirit with,  The Star Wars Holiday Special. While only shown once on CBS, this notorious flop has a bit of a cult following with vibe of you simply have to see it for yourself to believe it. But what if it does have some slightly redeeming qualities, such a...

Happy Halloween! Night thirty-one closes out with a grudge match between the original Stanley Kubrick directed, The Shining and the 1997 Mick Garris directed remake.

Have a listen to find out my thoughts about the or...

Night thirty brings us to The Shining sequel that we never knew we needed with the Mike Flanagan directed, Doctor Sleep.

For night twenty-nine we have a grudge match between a tale of two different adaptations of Carrie!! Originally made by Brian De Palma in 1976, MGM decided it was a film that needed to be remade in 2013 with director Kimberly Pierce at the helm for that version. Both films tell a tale of how cruel our peers can be to one another & bully someone just because they are different. We also have a b...

Night twenty-eight takes us to Stephen King's unofficial adaptation of the Haunting or The Haunting of Hill House, the title differs depending on whether you know it by the film or book title.
