Do We Like Movies?

We figured it was only right during the planet's hottest summer to go back to 1989 and re-visit Spike Lee's masterpiece. Do The Right Thing is a film that has just as much cultural, social and political relevance as it did 30 years ago. It is a stylish, eye-opening portrait of the Black experience in America. Police brutality, climate change, gentrification, and race relations are all explored as...

Best one in the Series? If you ask Angel it is. Empire sits in rare company with Films like Aliens, The Godfather Part II, Bride of Frankenstein, Terminator 2 and The Dark Knight as film sequels that are considered better than the Original. While Javi disagrees, it's easy to argue its merit as a high watermark in this franchise. Between the iconic AT-ATs, The Imperial March Darth Vader theme, and...

This is not a love story. to commemorate the 10th Anniversary of this Marc Webb dramedy, we ditch the usual recap/review format to describe Our own experiences with a failed relationship and how we relate to Tom and Summer, who were played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zoey Deschanel respectively. Get ready to get all in your feelings!

A New Hope At last we have arrived at the film that started it all. In 1977, visionary filmmaker George Lucas introduced us to a Galaxy far, far, away. Luke Skywalker, Obi Wan Kenobi, Han Solo, Chewbacca, and Princess Leia all come together to try and change the tide in the rebellion against the oppressive Galactic Empire and its enforcers Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin. This week your hosts ju...

Podcasts are built on hope.... This week we return to the work of Gareth Edwards who directed the first Star Wars one-off film that was commissioned following the Disney buyout of Lucas Film.

This is the end, friends... Not really. But it is the reboot of the 1980s classic Horror franchise that was headed by Chucky the killer doll. Gone are the days of a Voodoo practicing serial killer inhabiting a Good Guys doll, and we have arrived at the cold, futuristic modern world where we want to rely on AI devices to run our homes, our mobile devices, and invade our lives. Your hosts discuss th...

I've got a GOOD feeling about this. This week we review the largely forgotten Star Wars prequel that came out last spring. Unlike the new trilogy, or even Rouge One, this film was inexplicably moved out of the new winter release and sandwiched in a busy Superhero/Jurassic World summer season. This film follow the story of a young Han Solo, and is supposed to provide a background story for the belo...

Long live the King. Did Warner Bros. learn their lesson after they failed to give us Walter White vs. Godzilla in 2014? Mostly. This time they bring in Coach Taylor, Mrs. Bates, and Eleven. This film picks up 5 years after Godzilla and the M.U.T.O.s leveled San Francisco in Gareth Edward's re-introduction of the Japanese icon. This time director Michael Dougherty brings back the full roster of cla...

This episode is breaking my heart We have arrived at the conclusion of the prequel trilogy written and directed by George Lucas. Gone is the Jar Jar, Sand monologues, and Padme's importance to this franchise. The Republic becomes a Galactic Empire under Senator Palpatine, who becomes its Emperor. This film picks up at the end of the Clone Wars and completes Anakin Skywalker's fall from chosen one...

This podcast is gonna send us back to the stone age! In 2014 Gareth Edwards, coming off the success of his beloved micro-budget film debut, Monsters (2010) was tapped to re-adapt Godzilla for American audiences after the disastrous 1998 adaptation. In this film Godzilla comes to San Francisco to battle two insect like monsters known as M.U.T.O.s (Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organism). Co-star...

After the largely despised Episode I, George Lucas attempts a course correction in his Star Wars prequel series. The role of Anakin Skywalker is recast to then promising newcomer Hayden Christensen, Jar Jar Binks is reduced to little more than a cameo, and there is a greater focus on straining Padawan/Jedi master relationship between Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Did these changes make a great differ...

This is your podcast show hosts speaking, 2007 was a year of great films. The Departed, No Country for Old Men, and There Will Be Blood we’re the movie heavyweights of this year, but in the spring David Fincher released a somewhat forgotten masterpiece starring Jake Gyllenhaal as the San Francisco Chronicle cartoonist who became obsessed with catching the Zodiac Killer. Before Mark Ruffalo and Rob...

This podcast is based on a True Story … Well kind of. With the passing of Lorraine Warren last week, we decided to start this episode with a dive into some of the famous cases and our familiarity with the famed ghost hunter with her husband Ed. The film is a fictionalized account of a haunting in a Rhode Island farmhouse in the 1970s. This film is a throwback to the films inspired by the Satanic P...

"They're counting on me." "Probably not you specifically... I think it's a metaphor." With their live action hero now part of the MCU, and their separate Spider-Verse being led by Venom, Sony surprised comic book fans with a heartwarming adaptation of the Marvel Ultimate Universe version of Spider-Man, Miles Morales. With a fantastic soundtrack, and groundbreaking animation, this film is now high...

Podcasts are simple.. you make choices and you don't look back. Before it became a series about car drivers who pull heists and are secret agents, this unique movie franchise was trying to find a direction. Vin Diesel and Paul Walker had seemingly moved on from this series, so the cast had to get younger. The result was a hybrid racing/teen movie with a fish out of water feel. Join you hosts as we...

In the 90s a big trend became reviving classing Universal Monster movies with star studded casts. This decade gave us Gary Oldman as Count Dracula, Robert De Niro as the Frankenstein monster, and in 1999, Javi's Action Bae Brenden Frasier starred in the reboot to the Mummy. We go over the origins of this project and how it differs to the final product. Please join for our long awaited review of Th...

Fly with us on the wings of Pazuzu as your hosts review one of the worst sequels, and perhaps one of the worst movies of all time. 4 years after William Friedkin adapted William Peter Blatty's classic novel, Warner Bros. studios decided to use all the same thought leadership that probably developed the DCEU to put out this pile of flaming hot trash that re-unites us with Regan McNeil as she contin...

The 2001 sequel to Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park (1993) and The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) takes us back to site B for a 90 min monster movie feautiring a new Dinosaur King in the Spinosaurus and crotchety Alan Grant. You b*tches ready for a dinosaur fight? Join your hosts in their most contentious episode so far where we discuss if we like Jurassic Park III!

Oh Hi listeners. In 2003, Hollywood outsider Tommy Wiseau set out to make the next great American drama with his friend Greg Sestero. This film revolves around a love triangle between Johnny, his future wife Lisa, and his best friend Mark. This film was universally derided and is considered one of the worst movies of all time. It's so terrible that it now has a cult following where hoards of fans...

In 2009, the most ambitious comic book film ever made was released. In the advent of The Dark Knight, and the birth of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the world may have been ready for an R rated adaptation of the celebrated graphic novel from director Zack Snyder.
