Delayed Replay

Welcome back 2 the podcast! On this episode, I was joined once again by Greg, president of University of Sussex Sci-Fi & Horror Society, this time 2 talk about Coming 2 America , the sequel 2 1988's Coming to America . Apparently, this film is coming 2 Amazon Prime next month in that other universe, but it came out in December in our universe! How do the characters and the comedy compare 2 the...

We have made it to The 355! That's right. 355 episodes! Or is it season 3 episode 55? Just kidding! The 355 is the spy movie that came out a couple of weeks ago (in my universe). Joining me again is Greg, the president of University of Sussex Sci-Fi & Horror Society. Was this film as serious as the trailer made it out to be? How well did the ensemble cast work overall? And how long is our tang...

New year, new season. That's right. Each year is a season, even though there are four seasons in a year. And there are four of us on this season premiere. (Wow. That rhymed.) I'm talking about last year's Kingsman prequel The King's Man with fellow University of Sussex Sci-Fi & Horror Society members Ted, Greg, and James. How well did this work as a prequel? What were some of our favorite acti...

Listen to the trailer. The answers are there.

It’s been a little while, but here’s the Delayed Replay Holiday Special - DUNECEMBER! That’s right. If Seinfeld can make up Festivus, I can make up Dunecember. On this episode, Vinny Tangherlini is back to talk with me about Dune. First, we start of the episode going over some fun and festive Dunecember traditions. Then we go over how we became aware of Dune, touching upon the original books, the...

This is it. The season finale(ish) type thing. It’s Marvel’s Eternals, and joining me on my birthday is…Steven Shinder. That’s right. There are two of us. He’s from a universe where people have to wear masks. I’d call it this Steven Universe, but I’m afraid of getting sued. Anyway, give this a listen, and hear what happens.

Weird stuff is happening. Also, on this episode, I was joined by Fandom Empire’s Shawn Geroux to talk about Halloween Kills. How does it compare to the previous films? What do we expect from Halloween Ends? What are our thoughts on the franchise in general? All this can be found within the episode! Also, you will get to hear Shawn talk about Fandom Empire’s fan film Haddonfield: The Vanished, whic...

This book is a creepy one. I was joined by Chris Abbott and Mark Hurliman to talk about Star Wars: The High Republic: Into the Dark, a young adult novel by Claudia Gray, released on October 13. What did we think of the horror vibes of this story? What other aspects of Star Wars came to mind? How does this fit into the overall The High Republic story? Listen to our thoughts! Show Notes: 8:00 - Sorg...

Back again, reviewing another Sony Marvel movie. This time, it’s Venom: Let There Be Carnage. For this one, I was joined once again by Mark Hurliman, who is a huge fan of the symbiotes. How is this movie compared to the first one? What did we think of all the characters who made their way into it? Listen and find out! Show Notes: 18:10 - Dark Claw Mark’s Plugs: @IllogicalRogue2 Padawan Perspective...

Delayed Replay is back to talking about horror proper. This time, it’s Morbius, Sony’s film about the Living Vampire from Marvel Comics. Joining me for this discussion is writer Greg Cox, who grew up as a fan of the character. Was this film worth the wait? What connections to other Marvel properties were there? Also, we talked a lot about comics and media from both Marvel and DC. Listen to us geek...

The scary month continues, and what could be scarier than these kids stranded on a jungle moon? Okay, maybe I’ve been stretching it with the “spooky month” theme. After all, this and the couple of episodes before it have been tame topics. But that’ll change next time. For now, it’s Star Wars: The High Republic: A Test of Courage, released on September 8. Starrapter joined me once again so that we...

Time to talk about that movie where Jamie Foxx played a glowing blue character. No, not The Amazing Spider-Man 2. It is Pixar’s Soul! Definitely in the spirit of the season, because what could be scarier than…being dead but also not? All right, I’m gonna level with you all. I just wanted this to be movie episode 22 since there’s a character called 22. Been wanting to talk about this one for a whil...

This very popular show is on its eleventh season, and it stars H. Jon Benjamin. No, not Archer. It’s Bob’s Burgers. More specifically, Bob’s Burgers: The Movie, and Loren Bouchard’s birthday is a great time to release this episode. On this show, there’ve been tangents about McDonald’s, Carl’s Jr., and In-N-Out. So this was inevitable. With the help of Zac Arnold from the Intergalactic Peace Coalit...

Spooky season continues! This time, it is The Forever Purge, the supposed final installment of The Purge franchise. I was joined by Dylan and Kiyan from Decorative Vegetable for this review. They have reviewed the other Purge movies on their movie trilogy podcast Triple Play, so this episode kinda completes that cycle, I guess. Seriously, I suggest listening to their episodes on the first three mo...

It’s October, the time when people all of a sudden decide to watch a bunch of horror movies because they don’t want to watch them any other time of the year. Accounting for this trend, I have saved some spooky topics for this month. This time, it’s Antlers, which came out last April. I talked with my friend Claudia about the acting, how the wendigo was handled, and the overall horror aesthetic. Pl...

Here is Part 2 of the Star Wars Celebration 2020 retrospective! This one includes one-on-one segments with The Star Wars Report and Star Wars Beyond the Films co-host Mark Hurliman and Star Wars Underworld hosts Chris Seekell, Dominic Jones (with Percy the Pufferpig), and Ben Hart! Listen to our discussions of the panels, the toys, the celebrities, and…Carl’s Jr? Check it out! Show Notes: 1:31:30...

To those of you looking on the website, yes, the pic is from Star Trek: Picard. It shows the Anaheim Convention Center, so it seemed funny yet somehow fitting, especially since Star Trek is mentioned in this. Anyway, the episode covering Star Wars Celebration 2020 was so long that I ended up having to divide it into two parts for the podcast feeds. Here on Part 1, you will hear a session where I r...

On this episode, I was joined by Mark Hurliman from The Star Wars Report and Star Wars Beyond the Films podcasts. We talked about The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard, the sequel to The Hitman’s Bodyguard. We talked about the humor, the action, and how well Ryan Reynolds, Salma Hayek, and Samuel L. Jackson were utilized. Plus, we went on a tangent about McDonald’s! (Sadly, this show is not sponsored by t...

On this special episode, I was joined once again by Chris Abbott (Starrapter), and we talked about Star Wars: The High Republic: Light of the Jedi. Released on August 25, this novel by Charles Soule started The High Republic publishing initiative, which presents stories set 200 years before The Phantom Menace. Though we finished reading the book quickly, it took a while for this episode to come ou...

Taking a break from horror (for now), here is an episode about Minions: The Rise of Gru. Kiyan from the Decorative Vegetable podcast network joined me for this one. We talked about how this prequel compared to other Despicable Me films and how weird the branding is. (Naturally, I used Star Wars for the sake of an analogy.) Plus, we went on tangents, including our hot takes on Stranger Things and T...

At last, an episode about the ninth installment of the saga. No, not The Rise of Skywalker. Try again. No, we already did F9. Sorry to keep you in SAW-spense, but it’s Spiral: From the Book of Saw. That installment of the SAW-ga where Osmosis Jones is Zeke Banks and Mace Windu is his dad Marcus Banks. Yes, we went on those tangents. I was joined by Andres Serrano, of course, seeing how we were sti...

So. Andres Serrano and I found ourselves trapped in an escape room. To get out, we had to talk about Escape Room 2. Is this a win for us? Listen and find out! We talk about what kinda worked, what really didn’t work, and how we would feel if there were a third movie. (Spoiler: They don’t get to Manhattan, so I guess they added padding here to save that location for a possible third movie.) Also, t...

What would YOU have titled the new Candyman movie? Was it confusing to you as well that, despite being in the same continuity, it has the same title as the first one? Andres Serrano is back to guest host on this one. He’d seen only the first one before this one (which mainly continues a thread from the first one). I’ve seen all three and I recap them for him before we dive into our thoughts on thi...

Welcome to the afterlife. Is Delayed Replay your heaven? YOU decide! Thirteenth movie, and it’s about Ghostbusters: Afterlife. I feel like I should make a Thirteen Ghosts reference. (Never seen it.) Joey Mays joined me for this review after recently collaborating with The Intergalactic Peace Coalition Podcast on their Ghostbusters episodes. Joey has been a Ghostbusters fan pretty much all his life...

Once again, all aboard the 1980s nostalgia hype train (plane?). This time, it’s Top Gun: Maverick, which came out in June and turned out to not be as reliant on nostalgia as other media. Some callbacks are there, as I discuss with Vinny Tangherlini, who has long been a big fan of the first film. Listen to our conversation about this new one, complete with occasional tangents! Show Notes: 8:40 - Ti...
