AKAPAD the FILM BUFF Podcast

The first of a great directors series is here as we race to episode 500. Let's have a look at the films of Michael Bay.

If you care about true stories that are too good to be true this flick changes very little in the saga of Kurt Warner who went on to do what truly was impossible. Who said miracles are there for all to see?

No film in any sport does what Any Given Sunday does the 1999 masterpiece from Oliver Stone.

The internet has destroyed what is a great film.

I had an existential experience watching the original Walt Disney Pinocchio animated masterpiece in preparation for the new Live Action update.

Wrapping up the Wolfgang Petersen deep dive is a remake that gets zero credit for how much fun it is to watch.

Few Sci-Fi films have as to it as Enemy Mine, it's hard to imagine what this movie leaves out. Time to discuss the criteria of what makes up a Sci-Fi film and where this movie rests among them all.

2000's Perfect Storm is a perfect movie a fact that has eclipsed the entire film critique community for over 22 years.

In a fading style of film making the 2004 Troy is already a relic of how it once was done. The result of this production would be the greatest Greek movie ever made however, the resolution leaves the audience wanting more in a bad way.

How do we define Neo Noir this question is answered as Peter A DeLuca AKAPAD discusses Shattered a forgotten film by Wolfgang Petersen.

1984's Never Ending Story is still one of the greatest fantasy films of all time. But, what are others missing from this Wolfgang Petersen masterpiece?

We are not letting go of Wolfgang. Here is one of the top two virus outbreak movies ever. Outbreak that coined the term "carrier monkey".

One of the greats has left us.

PREY saved the Predator franchise, broke cannon, confused the mission of the interstellar hunter but................. it's a must watch and a further definition on how meaningless theaters have become.

What a painful entry. Where did the 80 million go?

Predators might be the best of the franchise, this is a totally complete flick that gives the audience everything it would want. The crime is we did not get more if The Predator hunt worlds.

How can we overlook the solutions this movie solves as well as how much of it is borrowed for Ridley Scotts Prometheus?

1990 and 1991 may have been the greatest two years of franchise sequel which included Predator 2 an expansion of the rules and mythology of the first with some newly added layers. Also of note is Predator 2's style in its depiction of a run-down city one that would later influence The Crow and Blade.

A case for the greatest sci-fi movie of all time 1987's Predator.

The internet came in hot for this one so lets see how exactly these LBGTQ+ scenes play out in the narrative structure of this animated feature.

Marvel want's us to get excited for another Phase of content filled with characters we care about and know little about.

Wow, MCU'ers this one is a tough shell to crack. So let's have a look at the hate and love for Thor Love and Thunder. Peter A DeLuca unpacks a hell of a lot with this analysis that is not the last.

Yes, believe it. The internet missed the point of the end credit sequence. That is until now.

Jared Leto gives us another solid superhero performance in a movie that the internet loved to hate. And that's odd because the much-delayed Morbius is fun and fantastic to look at.

Andy Serkis directed an expansion of mythology, relationships, and pow sets in the sequel to the 2018 smash-hit Venom. However, the "critics" had a lot of issues with this movie despite the problems it solved from the source material.
