Allen At The Movies

Today I sat down and soaked up two Netflix exclusive movies and the first one you get to hear about is the Mitchells vs the Machines! It's a fun romp and new feel to what could be a tired trope and some of the most beautiful animation I've seen in awhile.

Today I watched the movie Here Today. Normally this is where I write something I think is witty and tell you to listen but today I'm just gonna tell you to go watch this movie. You owe it to yourself to watch this movie. Just see it

Tonight I needed something to do so I went and saw Spiral aka the newest movie in the Saw Universe. I honestly don't know why I'm reviewing this as it's a Saw movie and at this point you either like that sort of thing or you it don't but I figured I needed to get my thoughts on....paper?

Today I went and decided I had two hours I wanted to give away at the movie theater and I spent it watching Wrath of Man. Jason Statham really Jason Statham'd this one guys. Want to hear more well good news - there's a whole podcast episode about it!

Today I ventured BACK to the theaters with my veins full of the Pfizer vaccine ready to take in all of the ultra violence of Mortal Kombat! Did it live up to the hype or did it leave me longing to be the victim of a fatality? You've gotta listen to find out!

It's time once again for the Seattle International Film Festival and since I'm probably not gonna make an episode for every SIFF movie I see I figured I would just make an episode about SIFF and talk a little bit about two weird, fun movies I saw today as part of it - This Town and Wyrm. If you are interested in learning more you can visit siff.net and I hope you do. They deserve all of the suppor...

Today I decided to reach out and take in another monster movie, this time it was Love & Monsters. A movie full of love....and monsters.

Today I rushed out (to my living room) and got myself a front row seat to the big kaiju battle Godzilla versus Kong on HBOMAX! I could probably go into this a lot more detail and whatnot but it's a movie about a giant dinosaur fighting a giant ape. There's not a whole lot else you need to know. Just listen okay? (Oh and I got a little excited and may have spoiled something about the end. Sorry.)

Today I decided to take a trip down memory lane and watch the documentary The Last Blockbuster on Netflix. This episode I tend to go off a little bit from just talking about the movie because the movie got me thinking just in general about my connection to movies as a whole and where it all started. You learn a lot about me in this one, and also I talk about Blockbuster. So listen to it yeah?

Well it's finally happened. Hell actually froze over and Warner Brothers and HBOMAX actually released Zack Snyder's cut of Justice League. You can count me as one of the people that never expected this day to come and yet here it is. If you're curious what I thought of it well I've got some great news - here's a brand new episode about it!

I've been wanting to do this one for awhile so I sat down and finally did the damned thing. I love romantic comedies. I always have and always will. But I also have strong feelings what is and isn't a romantic comedy. Like I will fight you over some of this. So after a long conversation with my friend Holly I decided to sit down with myself and talk about it. If you want to hear those thoughts wel...

Today just felt like a day for the dogs so I curled up on my couch and sat down to watch Dog Days directed by Ken Marino. Is this movie's bite worse than it's bark or is it the best in show? You've gotta listen to find out!

Today I ventured into the realm of Irish folklore with the animated adventure Wolfwalkers. In what is bound to become a classic piece of animation that could also just get lost in the sea of streaming platforms where no one actually sees it. And that's a shame. Want to hear more l? Well good news I did a whole episode about it!

Today I sat down and had my privilege examined through the new Netflix original movie Moxie. This movie discusses sexual equality, bullying, the patriarchy and standing together to fight against something you think is wrong. It's pretty great. But you should listen to me say all that too. And you can!

Today I sat down and time traveled back to the land of Zamunda with the new Eddie Murphy sequel Coming 2 America on Amazon Prime. Does it hold up to the original or does it come across as much of a stale rip off as the Big Mick? You've gotta listen to find out!

Today I sat down and decided to go ahead and watch the 2020 Golden Globe winner for Best Dramatic Film Nomadland. It took a lot out of me emotionally so I don't know if I can make a joke here but you should listen to the review and then go watch the movie. yep. That's what I got for you.

Today I sat down to a heaping pile of Hbomax and watched the new Tom & Jerry movie! Did it leave me chasing my tail or was I purring with content? Well you'll have to listen to find out!

The other day I was flipping through Tiktok and saw a video talking about the movie Book of Henry and I decided I absolutely had to see it for myself. And so I did! And here's my review! That's it. No fun joke here. Just watch this movie if you haven't seen it yet. I promise you will absolutely not see it coming.

Today as we wrap up my journey through lost Disney classics we visit the one that started the journey - Moana! How far will this movie go on this journey? Well you'll have to listen to find out!

Continuing on with my journey through some missed Disney classics tonight with 2002's Lilo & Stitch! Was this movie out of this world or are there no intelligent life on screen? You'll have to listen to find out!

Today I continued on my Disney classics adventure with Pixar's A Bug's Life! Yes I know they weren't owned by Disney at the time it came out but Disney and Pixar are one and the same so deal with it. Does this one infest my heart or does it leave me wanting to call pest control? You've gotta listen to find out!

This week I decided to kick off a week of lost Disney treasures with Hercules! Was it a strong showing of a gift from the Gods or was it like taking a trip through the seven gates of hell? Listen and find out!

Today I sat down and watched Judas and the Black Messiah on HBOMAX and you should too. That's it. No witty thing. Just watch this movie.

Today I sat down and watched a movie I had never even heard of until last week from 2010 called Flipped from Rob Reiner. Did I flip my lid or did it leave me underwhelmed? You've gotta listen to find out!

Tonight I sat down and watched the new political comedy from Jon Stewart on HBOMAX Irresistible. Did it sway my vote to the left or to the right (I'll let you decide which side is bad and which side is good)? Well you'll have to listen to find out!
