AKAPAD the FILM BUFF Podcast

Sony was correct in what they wanted from Spider-Man 3.

Venom Let There be Carnage blew the biggest end credit scene of all time.

Disnley+ delivers the Marvel Cinematic Universe's most confusing in continuity show yet. But, is the intent really a head-scratcher, or are other "ideas" getting in the way of the question this show answers?

Like nearly everything from the modern-day MCU Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness is two films in one.

Is Spider-Man No Way Home to film to thank for our current theatrical experiences? Your host Peter A DeLuca AKAPAD The Pop Culture Pope says, YES!!! Also, he is confused about how to even look at a film such as this.

For AKAPAD's Audio Audacity episode 460 we bring you the 6th and final installment of the Loki Series 1 and it might be the best single hour we have yet to see from the entire MCU.

It's been a long time since the film world has NOT had the marvel cinematic universe. Well..... with a lot of time and content passed what The Pop Culture Popes' view of what is known as the MCU is?

It's been a long wait to finally see Moon Knight on screen.

Has the point of a show been lost with the pursuit of endless MCU connections, does the dislike for Hawkeye prove that fans can't have fun with the MCU?

Where the Day Takes You is an important forgotten runaway homeless drama that embeds itself perfectly in 90's style of independent filmmaking. Paired perfectly with Kids and The Laws of Gravity. Oh, and yes Will Smith too.

Ali is a good Oscar Bait Biopic that falls short of what an Oscar movie would be. It's a difficult movie to process with no real emotional anchors. We needed to feel more of Ali's plight with this venture.

Gemini Man is a movie that finally made it out of development hell to be made by the best of the best in Hollywood. So.....is the Will Smith VS Will Smith movie any good?

YOU MUST WATCH THE TRAILER FOR COLLATERAL BEAUTY BEFORE EXPERIENCING THE FILM. LINK HERE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1tfLWxcEzw

Through the vanity of winning an Oscar Will Smith spearheads a project that robs us all of knowing the true history of CTS. Despite another performance where Smith disappears into the role this film doesn't have an engaging through-line. PLEASE READ HEAD GAMES INSTEAD: amzn.to/3LGtyP3 ** Also please forgive Peter he referenced the book Head Games by Chris Nowinski as Head Case.

Let's define a con movie. What other films qualify as such? Margot Robbie and Will Smith collaborate for the first time is a film that looks as sexy as it sounds.

M. Night Shyamalan and Will Smith went through a rough patch at one point, this film is a convergence of that. However, many people have overlooked the trends that After Earth may have jump-started.

Men in Black 3 might have created a perfect Sci-Fi time travel loop and in so established Men in Black as the greatest Sci-Fi Trilogy second to Austin Powers.

Seven Pounds got destroyed by lazy critics. What does AKAPAD have to say about it?

Yes, we have a Will Smith take unheard of in the world of entertainment commentary. Why? Because everyone is wrapped up in the grocery store tabloid drama of things we have little information about.

The career of one Will Smith on the heels of his greatest victory. As predicted on this very podcast.

Matthias Schweighöfer directs a 7m movie that looks like a 35m movie that alone deserves your attention. On top of that we have a more understanding of the state of the world during a rising but later contained zombie apocalypse.

The most wonderful aspect of streaming is a film like Red Notice can drop from the sky with zero promotion and be there. The lack of expectations adds to the viewing experience. ***Please excuse Peter when he refers to Gal Gadot as "Gale Gadot" he's an idiot.

We covered a lot of Netflix last year. And here we are.......what does the stock crash mean for the streaming service?

In a poster modern age where parents tell their kids "love what I love" we have a flick built on nostalgia and never letting go of the past, but it's a solid period piece that delivers a true heart-felt Christmas message.

A personal take on what might be the greatest Christmas movie of all time.
