Asteroid G Podcasts

We're talking Diamonds Are Forever in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. It's the last Sean Connery Bond film (at least officially), with the actor returning after Lazenby left the role, and... well, it's a very Connery film. That's not really a good thing.

We're talking the Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping trailer in this week's bonus mini episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. With another prequel (midquel? interquel?) for the series coming out, we look at the trailer and then wonder why does this even exist? What story could it possibly tell that wasn't resolved by the end of the series?

We're talking Mortal Kombat II in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The sequel to the 2021 film reboot just came out, and we went to see it as soon as we could. We discuss the film, what it gets right, and just maybe why the critics aren't getting this silly, fun movie.

We're talking the Street Fighter trailer in this week's bonus mini episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. A new live-action version of Street Fighter is coming out, and while it's hard to know whether the new film will be good, even from this trailer, we can all agree on one thing: it has to be better than the Legend of Chun Li.

We're talking Lee Cronin's The Mummy in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The film seems to want to be many things. A demonic possession film. A sequel to The Exorcist. A brand extension for Evil Dead (just without the name). What it isn't is a mummy film. Oh, and it also sucks.

We're talking the KPop Demon Hunters x McDonalds meal crossover in this week's bonus mini episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Netflix's hit animated film now has an adult Happy Meal crossover with the Mickey D's and both Mikes just so happened to grab the meal to see how it was. We dunk the sauces, sample the fries, and give our full thoughts. Come join the discussion.

We're talking On Her Majesty's Secret Service in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. We have a new actor playing James Bond... for one movie, and we take a look to see just how well he did. It's the start and the end of the Lazenby Era, and we discuss what he got right, what went wrong, and just what his series could have been if he'd stuck around.

We're talking Donato's Pizza in this week's bonus mini episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Donato's, a chain not well known across the U.S., is apparently now partnered with Red Robin to have their pizzas in store, which is just... so weird. So we sample their wares and see how their pies stack up.

We're talking They Will Kill You in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. This grindhouse style actioner pits a woman against a horde of immortal devil worshipers all so she can save herself, and her sister, and it would be great... if Ready or Not, and it's sequel, didn't also exist. We discuss...

We're talking the Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer in this week's bonus mini episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Peter is back, in a world that doesn't remember him, but he has to battle more than the Hand, and the Hulk, and the Punisher, and the Scorpion. He's got the greatest enemy of all to deal with: Marvel fatigue...

We're talking Project Hail Mary in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The latest adaptation of Andy Weir's novels hit theaters and has been a smash hit so far. We take a look at the film to see what it gets right, and what we think the film could improve. Also: Rocky!

We're talking the Scary Movie 6 trailer in this week's bonus mini episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. It's been a while since we had (to suffer through) one of these films, and the two Mikes are absolutely excited (or dreading) a new Scary Movie. Come and join the discussion...

We're talking The Running Man in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The remake, reboot, whatever you want to call it of Stephen King's Bachman novel came out last year and disappeared as quickly as it arrived. Now that it's available on streaming, we check it out and compare it to the 1987 film to see which one is better. It's not even close...

We're talking the Super Mario Galaxy Movie trailers in this week's bonus mini episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Yes, the film is coming out this weekend, and yes we'll get around to seeing it eventually... but the trailers don't make it look like a must watch, and we debate why that is...

We're talking You Only Live Twice, Connery's first time retiring from James Bond, in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. This should have been Connery's grand finale for his time as the world's greatest secret agent, but instead it's a confused, awkward, pretty terrible film. And then it wasn't even his last movie...

We're talking The Bluff in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. On an island in the Caribbean, Priyanka Chopra and Karl Urban go head-to-head in what is, in effect, a female, pirate John Wick. It's awesome. We discuss.

We're talking the Mortal Kombat II trailer in this week's bonus mini episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. A new trailer for the film, which comes out in May, prompts us to get into a discussion about how good the trailer looks. Plus, we end up quoting the games (and other games) as we wander for a while...

We're talking Scream 7 in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. We head to Pine Grove, Indiana, to catch up with Sidney as she settles into the life of being a mom, only for a new Ghostface (or two? or more?) to show up. And that conventional, expected setup leads to a conventional, expected film in what has to be one of the worst entries in the series by far. Come join us as we di...

We're talking Thunderball and its (semi-remake) Never Say Never Again in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. We go back-to-back with two James Bond adventures, both adapting the same exact novel, and one being the last time Connery took on the role. Neither are very good, though. Maybe it's just not a very good story...

We're talking the Mandalorian and Grogu trailers in this week's bonus mini episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The Super Bowl brought us a new look at this upcoming movie, but frankly even that didn't seem all that interesting. Disney has even noted they're worried this film may be a flop and, yeah, we can see why...

We're talking Predator: Badlands in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. With the newest film in the Predator franchise now on streaming, this seemed like the perfect time to go back and check out the film for the podcast. We discuss what the film gets right as well as how it fits in the franchise and where the story can go from here.

We're checking back in with the Super Bowl in this week's bonus mini episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Our Tecmo predictions were in and we look back to see how we did. We track the winners, the losers, the big plays... and all the food.

We're talking From Russian With Love and Goldfinger in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. We continue our James Bond coverage, delving deeper in the Sean Connery era with his second and third films. One of them is awful, the other fantastic. We'll let you find out which is which...

We're talking the Supergirl trailer in this week's bonus mini episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. Supergirl's trailer has been out for a little while, and it looks like a lot of fun, but the online trolls have it out for the Kryptonian's adventure, and we check out why...

We're talking Tron: Ares in this week's episode of (Not So) Live from Asteroid G. The film came and went in theaters, but Disney is hoping that it'll find a happy, second live on streaming. After watching it, the two Mikes have their doubts. But hey, the soundtrack is awesome...
