"REMEMBER: YOU ARE ONE." One of Alec's most anticipated movies he saw at the film fest has been sweeping the globe, with critics and audiences raving about its performances, commentary, and grotesque horror. It ended up being his favorite film of the year, and now that it's out on digital, there's only one thing left to do. So, come join Alec as he introduces Brian to one of 2024's best films -- T...

SANG-HWA THE GOAT! We're finally back from our hiatus, and things are pretty dire right now, all things considered. So, time to crack into our not-Halloween special to distract from it all! Zombie movies have been seen as passé for a while, but something about this film seemed to strike such a chord that more and more started popping up in recent years. So, how did they do it? Come join Brian to f...

"KNOCK KNOCK, LET THE DEVIL IN!" After many years of trying and failing, and despite just having started a working relationship with Marvel via a new take on Spider-Man, Sony's (let's be honest, Avi Arad's) dream of making a solo film of Eddie Brock's darker half finally came true in 2018. Despite being critically panned to hell and back and being an absolute mess that didn't exactly know what it...

"WHAT, YOU'VE NEVER BEEN SHOT IN QUEENS?" In preparation for Venom: The Last Dance next week, the boys realized it was time to take a look at the two SPUMC movies that they have yet to watch on the show. First up on the chopping block: somehow still in contention for one of the worst movies of the year. Everyone collectively laughed when the Madame Web movie was announced in 2019, and it was even...

WE'RE NOT DONE YET... The Tomorrowthon may be over, but we still have one overdue bad DC animated movie to conquer before we can see the light of day. Last year, we watched one of the most bizarre crossovers culminate in a boring, confusing, and straight up weird Part One, and now it's time to see how this rotten cookie crumbled. So, come join Brian, Alec, and special guest Darby (@gwenstacying on...

IT'S OVER... The boys have finally reached the end of another marathon. They are exhausted. They have lived. They have died. They will never be the same again. Come join Brian and Alec as they finish off the TOMORROWTHON by suffering through the unbearable JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS TRILOGY!

IT'S ALMOST OVER... With five movies left to go and only two slots left to watch them in, we're pulling double duty once again. This time, the Tomorrowverse is bringing two different team-up movies, and both are boring and bad in their own unique ways! You all know the drill, it's time to lose our sanity. Come join Brian and Alec as they continue the TOMORROWTHON with two of the most bizarre proje...

LET ME OUT OF HERE! We are now halfway through the Tomorrowthon, and this ordeal is not getting any easier. Next up on the docket, a movie about John Stewart. This HAS to be hard to make bad, right? We're gonna be back on the upswing with this one, right? Right? Oh, god. Come join Brian and Alec as they suffer through the other bad Green Lantern movie -- GREEN LANTERN: BEWARE MY POWER !

BATMAN SAYS "NO GIRLS ALLOWED!" The Long Halloween by Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale is considered to be one of the best Batman stories of all-time, with many citing how it not only streamlined the origin of villains like Two-Face, but told a perfect story of the fall of the mob and the rise of the supervillains in Gotham. Making an animated film (or in this case, films) adapting it in full seemed like a...

FEATURING DEATH BELLS LOUD ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU TINNITUS! After the relative success of Man of Tomorrow , the new DC Animated Universe continued with its next project: a period piece about the Justice Society. Unfortunately, between an out-of-place character, bizarre plot twists, a nameless villain, and a complete tonal 180, this might not have been the go-to. Come join Brian and Alec as they contin...

THE TOMORROWTHON BEGINS... A few months ago, Alec and Brian made a deal. If Brian managed to watch all of Future Diary for an episode of the main show, Alec would agree to doing a marathon of DC's maligned Tomorrowverse of animated films, ending with the Crisis on Infinite Earths trilogy. Brian held up his end of the bargain, and now Alec must pay the piper. The introduction to this weird little u...

"THERE ARE NO SIDES." After the uphill battle toward success proved fruitful, Denis Villeneuve and co. announced that the second half of Dune was on the way, alleviating the fears of many moviegoers. Despite delays due to Hollywood refusing to pay actors and writers, the film finally made it to the silver screen this past March. So, after all the set-up of the first film, how does the rest of the...

"MY DESERT. MY ARRAKIS. MY DUNE." Onto the next hundred tracks, and what better way to start off than a two-parter? Frank Herbert's Dune is considered to not only be one of the best sci-fi novels of all time, but one of the most influential pieces of storytelling, influencing the likes of Star Wars and countless others. For many years, Hollywood has tried and failed to bring this deconstruction of...

HAPPY 100th TRACK EVERYONE! Hard to believe we've already reached our one-hundredth commentary track on the show. The past two years have been a crazy journey, and we thank you all for sticking with us. To celebrate, it's time to cover a movie we've been waiting eight months to dive into. The latest outing of the King of the Monsters from Toho has been one of their most widely acclaimed and succes...

EVERYONE'S FAVORITE TOXIC YAOI RETURNS! After the release of Godzilla vs. Kong managed to exceed the tempered expectations of a pandemic release back in 2021, many wondered when -- or if -- we'd see the MonsterVerse return. After a dry spell of news, the masses finally heard that Godzilla and Kong would indeed return to team up against new foes in a brand new entry. So, after three years of waitin...

DUBSTEP NEVER DIES! After the monumental success of the first film, a Deadpool sequel was quickly put in development. Set to be bigger, bolder, and louder, this film marks the first live-action appearances of characters such as Cable and Domino, as well as a shift toward the "Sad Clown" aspect of Wade's character in the comics. While the film still did well critically and commercially, people had...

MAXIMUM EFFORT After the failure of X-Men Origins: Wolverine and five years of development hell, test footage for Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool film leaked online in 2014. Unable to ignore the overwhelmingly positive reception, the film was finally given the greenlight, with all the bells and whistles it asked for - a bloody R-rated comedy more faithful to the comics. Upon release, it was a monumental s...

NEVER ASK A WOMAN HER AGE, A MAN HIS SALARY, OR JOSH BOONE WHAT HE THINKS OF MINORITIES. As they started winding down on mainline X-Men films, as well as noticing the success of spin-offs such as Deadpool and Logan , Fox decided the next era to pivot towards would feature none other than the ragtag team of superpowered youths, the New Mutants. What seemed like an easy slam dunk turned far more int...

HE HAD A CHANGE OF HEART! Despite Apocalypse positioning itself as the end of the mainline X-Men films, closing the loop and establishing the team in full, certain people were keen on scratching a certain itch to perform one last magic trick -- rectifying The Last Stand and making an accurate adaptation of The Phoenix Saga . Amidst year-and-a-half long road to Disney buying out Fox, futures being...

"DON'T BE WHAT THEY MADE YOU." In 2015, Hugh Jackman announced that the third Wolverine movie would be his last ride as the mutant (obviously this particular comment hasn't aged well). Many didn't know what to expect, but excitement grew as it came out that not only would it be loosely based on the Old Man Logan comic -- but that it would finally go all-out brutal with an R-rating. While the movie...

"CHECK OUT THOSE SUITS-- AAAND THEY'RE GONE." Months before Days of Future Past released, the third film in the trilogy was set for May 2016 -- and confirmed to center around Apocalypse, the oldest and most powerful mutant. After DOFP 's massive success, reports that this would be the biggest and most destructive X-Men movie yet, a whole new slate of spin-off films on the horizon, and beloved char...

"WE NEED YOU TO HOPE AGAIN." After the success of First Class , Matthew Vaughn and Fox reached an impasse in regards to adapting one of the most iconic X-Men stories of all time: Days of Future Past . While he wanted to wait and do it in the third movie, Fox wanted to fast-track it for the second, resulting in him walking. Sure enough, as they wanted, the movie got made -- to mass acclaim and succ...

AKA "X-MEN ORIGINS: WEABOO." Despite the historical failure of X-Men Origins: Wolverine , 20th Century Fox had a plan in their back pocket -- taking what was supposed to be the original film and producing it as a sequel. This film had its own developmental hell, for a while it was going to be helmed by auteur Darren Aronofsky, while still being yet another prequel. However, once the ball got rolli...

"PEACE WAS NEVER AN OPTION." After the colossal failure of X-Men Origins: Wolverine , Fox was stumped as to what to do with their next project in the XMO pipeline that centered around Magneto. Since the original script heavily featured Xavier, as well as the fallout between the two former friends, the studio decided to scrap the subseries entirely and begin a new trilogy of prequels -- starting wi...

ONE OF THE MOST INFAMOUS CBMs OF ALL TIME! After the original trilogy puttered out with the disappointment of The Last Stand , Fox decided the best course of action was to start a new series of solo films about significant X-Men characters, and who better to kick them off than the ever-popular Wolverine? Well, with the original Japan-based project getting scrapped, the decision to extend the Weapo...
