Do We Like Movies?

You wanted a First Class sequel? Sike!  The follow up to 2011's X-Men reboot saw the return of original movie director Brian Singer who decided instead of continuing Matthew Vaughn's prequel film in a satisfying way, that we were going to instead get the third Brian Singer original trilogy movie featuring some of the cast of the last movie. To save the X-Men from a future in which mutants are wipe...

After the cast to the original trilogy got too old and expensive, Fox decided that they were going to do X-Men origin movies... Unfortunately they picked a ridiculously atrocious Wolverine movie to launch this series. After its poor reception Matthew Vaughn's 2011 superhero film then became a prequel/soft reboot to the original franchise by telling the story of a young Magneto and Charles as they...

The final chapter of the original X Trilogy is controversial in many ways: New director, the departure of some beloved characters, and the first film adaptation of the Dark Phoenix storyline from the comic books. This may not be a well loved film in the franchise, but one that your hosts could not wait to discuss.

The sequel to the 2000 hit movie re-unites the Wolverine and the X-Men after a mutant attack on the White House with a much bigger budget and facing a new grave human threat: William Stryker (Played by the always excellent Brian Cox)

It is the start of the new millennium, but we are stuck in the weird space in Comic Book films between the Tim Burton Batman aesthetic and Sam Raimi's Spider-Man which will usher in the next era of superhero movies.

We want to play a game.... Listeners requested we watch the latest entry in the Saw franchise, but it made your hosts think of the fact that they hadn't seen the original is a VERY long time. From the minds of now well known horror creators James Wan and Leigh Whannell, this film mostly centers on two strangers locked in a grimy, disgusting bathroom where they must answer the question: What would...

A group of Gen-Zers decide to have a Hurricane party and play a murder mystery party game that becomes very real very quickly in this 2022 horror(?) comedy.

This week we review a film that comes at the tail end of the Disney Animated Renaissance of the 90s which can not be forgotten. It has great music, a villain so horny he wants to burn down all of Paris, and we talk briefly about the Festival of Foolss... But more importantly we talk about Feast of the Ass and that alone is reason enough for you to hear this show.

The grandaddy of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Back when The Incredible Hulk and Doctor Strange only existed in dark dingy television, Marvel took its first step into feature films with this 1986 adaptation of the comic series which was produced by George Lucas. Trapped in a world he never made a made, this film follows Howard, a duck from a distance planet who is transpoerted to Cleve-Land and m...

Why are we reviewing this... Because our listeners secretly hate us because watching this movie was not self love. This week we cover this disastrous adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Weber's beloved musical with CGI Cats thats should only exist in nightmares.

Original Godzilla studio Toho returns ditching the giant monster battles for a post-WWII period piece grief movie!

Samuel L. Jackson stars in this 2005 sports drama inspired (As always this term is used LOOSELY) by the true story of Ken Carter, a Richmond, California High School basketball coach who institutes a lockout for his undefeated team so that they could raise their grades to the necessary level to get into college.

We've made it to the end of our Twilight review series! The closing chapter of this saga wraps up the story of Bella Swan and Edward Cullen with them as parents! I mean obviously theres a big battle at the end with the Voltari, vampire family reunions, vampire/werewolf politics, and Renesmee (Bella and Edward's daughter) is basically the daywalker (A reference to Blade from Marvel Comics) so, fun...

The fourth film in the Twilight Saga brings us the Edward/Bella wedding and how that affects the Vampires, Werewolves  Something we were expecting was love triangle melodrama from our two leads and Jacob, the wolf man-boy. Something we were not expecting: Abortion discussions, and a movie that at least makes us think of old horror movies like Rosemary's Baby and The Brood. Yes we are just as surpr...
