Buzzed on Movies

We delve into new territory this week with Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers and Halloween 5: The Revenge of Michael Myers. There’s a lot of craziness in these installments, from a gun-happy posse, to goofy cops, to a mysterious man in black. And of course, there are many killings. Come join us for another quarantine-induced week of Halloween in Spring!   Follow us on Twitter! ( @buzzedonmo...

We’re finally back to finish our Halloween series! Halloween III: Season of the Witch is a very unique installment in the series, completely dispensing with Michael Myers and attempting to establish an anthology format. We discuss this film’s importance to the Halloween series and horror in general, and we also tie it in to current events! There’s a lot of horrible things going on right now, pleas...

Did anything big happen this past week? We haven’t really been paying attention. Oh… In this episode we cover the effects of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic on the film industry and movie theater industry, and discuss our plans for a near future without movie theaters, all while trying not to cry. We also discuss the brilliant film The Invisible Man, which we managed to catch before they closed t...

We have a whole grab bag of new releases this week, and it’s a fairly chaotic collection. We first touch on Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn, followed by several mid-grade horror films: The Lodge, Blumhouse’s Fantasy Island, and Brahms: The Boy II.  Matt even tells about his encounter with one of the elusive Brahms Bros in real life! All this and lots of drinking...

We are finally back to bring you our thoughts on this year’s Oscars! We break down the highlights of the ceremony as well as a few more nominees that we saw in the run-up to the big day.

We’re still standing!...

We blaze through several movies and almost as many drinks this week, covering Marriage Story, The Cave, Bombshell, Underwater, and Dolittle. The last of these gives us some genuine problems, though still nothing on the level of Cats. Come run the gauntlet with us as we get ever closer to achieving our Oscars goal!   Follow us on Twitter!

This week we discuss two very different movies that are excellent in their own ways: Uncut Gems and Little Women.

Welcome to the 20s! This week we mostly talk Star Wars, and boy did we have a bad time with this latest installment.

We apologize for the long hiatus, but certain characters from our past got in the way! We’re finally back to discuss movies we’ve seen over the past month, including Joker, The Lighthouse, and Doctor Sleep.  We also somehow get around to talking about Rupert Grint’s ice cream truck and tentacle porn. You know how we do. Please send someone to rescue us from this basement, and please enjoy this new...

What better horror franchise to discuss around Halloween than … Halloween? We delve into John Carpenter’s 1978 masterwork as well as the first sequel, discussing the craziest kills and the creepiest music. And oh would you look at that … it’s our 31st episode. We hope you’re not listening alone on The Night He Came Home!   Follow us on Twitter! ( @buzzedonmovies ) We are running a Shots for Retwee...

Hiya Georgie! We’re both big Stephen King fans, which is why we’re particularly excited to be discussing It: Chapter 2 this week. We have a lot of thoughts on how the film adaptations compare to the book, which of the many creature moments we like the most, and whether certain controversial scenes really needed to be in the movie. This film has faced a decent amount of criticism online, but we hav...

What happens when things go wrong at a movie theater? A recent incident involving multiple fire alarms inspires us to explore that topic, both from the perspective of the audience and the projection staff. We also discuss the films Spider-Man: Far From Home and Lion King, and discuss their places in their respective Disney franchises. Suffice to say, we’re a bit tired of Disney’s live action remak...

Do you like scary movies? We hope so, because we have two of them to discuss this week. This time we’re discussing two very different horror films that are in theaters right now: Midsommar and Crawl.

Just like Jigsaw himself, is the Saw series ever truly finished? In this episode we discuss the unusual reboot of the series, 2017’s Jigsaw. Are those laser cutters a real thing? Someone please let us know. We also briefly discuss the impact of the series as a whole, as well as some strange Saw fanfic we found online.   That very strange moment in history when Jigsaw rang the NYSE opening bell: ht...

At long last, it’s come to this - Saw 3D: The Final Chapter (?). Here we find out what happens to you if you pretend to be a former Jigsaw victim to sell self-help books, or if you and your friends are all racists.

It’s the one we’ve all been waiting for: the HEALTHCARE SAW! This installment is truly a product of its time, perfectly encapsulating the late 2000s healthcare debate. It is also the best of the later installments of Saw, and it poses the difficult question: can we truly have empathy for healthcare executives? Find out in the latest installment of Buzzsaw Movies!   Follow us on Twitter! ( @buzzedo...

Saw V has fewer of the twists and turns we’ve come to associate with the series, but in their place we’re given a wealth of illuminating backstory and some gut wrenching traps. We’re halfway through the Saw franchise, and still going strong! We even talk about some current movies in this episode! I’m still not sure why we had to record two episodes this week, Matt was really weird about it…   Foll...

The Saw franchise marches on, and so do we in this fourth installment of Buzzsaw Movies.
