AKAPAD the FILM BUFF Podcast

Bloodshot is a little known comic book and it's film adaptation will soon suffer the same fate. Staring Vin Diesel Bloodshot is another attempt to create a juggernaut franchise to compete with the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

In 2014 Ex Machina was nominated by the Academy for best original screenplay, that year Spotlight won, a film that is not apart of any conversation at present. Ex Machina is rare for it's vision and execution however it's full of every AI, robot Sci-Fi trope.

For a second time it's Upgrade one of the best sci-fi movies to premier in the modern day.

Ghost In the Shell triggers nothing but memories for ya'BOI Peter in such a way it's hard for him to tell you what makes this movie so special.

Battle Angle Alita's development was one for the ages but the film finally arrived on planet Earth and all 90's anima/manga, cyborg, dirty future fans are better for it. Also this film stomps Captain Marvel into the ground.

Even now too many people have slept on this movie. Shazam should be labeled as the beginning of the DCEU.

Finally- The Pop Culture Pope has seen Terminator Dark Fate. After 3 viewings where does Peter stand on the 6, or is it 7th Terminator film?

Let's quote the amazing marketing for this movie. "It's the end of the Skywalker Sage" which is funny because ya'BOI Pete thought it had already ended.

Solo a Star Wars movie did one thing not even the Empire could do at the height of it's powers. It's further divided the Star Wars fan base.

Bradley Weatherholt has made a wonderful documentation of the children that grew up watching Star Wars Episodes 1,2,3. This documentary perfectly compliments The People VS George Lucas that was discussed int he last episode (#273).

SITH HAPPENS. Here it is, the most important of all the Star Wars Sage films.

Genndy Tartakovsky produced a masterpiece for the Cartoon Network and in so created the one shinning light of the Star Wars prequels.

Of all the prequels Attack of the Clones may be the most deserving of a second look.

Outside of Batman and Robin Star Wars Episode One The Phantom Menace serves as the most disappointing film Pete has saw on the big screen.

Return of the Jedi was the first Star Wars movie I saw in the theater, and that is why it remains my most significant of all the films.
