Happy Halloween Lovely SPOOKtators!  It's that time again!  Another Franchise to take apart by your resident Film FRIGHTers, Konrad and Jono.  This month's Franchise Frenzy features the first 8 Halloween films, split into two parts!  This episode will take you through the first two chapters of Michael Myers aka The Shape before suddenly becoming an anthology series with Season of the Wit...

Wow!  Film Fights Podcast hits its 50th Battle (not episode), and what better way to celebrate this occasion but with two 80s childhood fantasy movies!  Interestingly enough, BOTH films feature not only a youth interacting with a storybook world  (directly or indirectly) but also have parent(s) that are introduced in the opening and to never be seen or heard from again.  Film Fighters Kon 'n...

Happy Halloween Lovely SPOOKtators!  Here's a bonus episode, ripped from the archives and gutted for your amusement!  Last year, Kon 'n Jon recorded this Film Fights Franchise Frenzy, exploring the first 4 original Texas Chainsaw movies just before their lives got turned upside down (which resulted in the show taking a break).  But here it is, unearthed for the world to enjoy!  Leatherfa...

Hello again BOILS & GHOULS and Lovely SHRIEKtators!  Resident Film FRIGHTERS, Kon & Jon continue their journey down memory LAME with Are You Afraid of the Dark.  On this episode, Konrad & Jono discuss The Laughing In the Dark and The Pinball Wizard (The Tales of).  Happy Halloween!  And we'll see you on the 31st (wink)!

Boo-urns!  It's that spooOOky time of the year again, Lovely SHRIEKtators!  And your resident Film FRIGHTERS, KonDEAD & Jon(OH N)o, are here to muck up your precious childhood!  But in all seriousness, Are You Afraid of the Dark is a classic anthology horror series that found itself targeted at kids but appealing to all ages.  On this episode, Konrad & Jono discuss The Hungry Hounds a...

We do want to close our eyes.   We do want to fall asleep, 'cuz we don't miss anything really - we're pretty sharp.   Except when it comes to judgement calls on what movies to watch!  This time, we decided to visit a (not at all) innocent time when film studios respected each other and didn't try to release the exact same premise to a movie mere months apart in order to milk a...

If you thought we were going to discuss the TMNT original movies without touching on the Godfather III of this conclusion, you are SO wrong!  From bad animatronics and bizarre plotting to questionable character motivation and nonstop quipping, this was (at the time) the proverbial nail in the TMNT film coffin.  Uniquely, Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon each saw this movie when it originally released...

COWABUNGA!  Yo bro, it's time for Turtle Power in the studio apartment studio as your resident Film Fighters discuss these nostalgia-tinted ninja classics.  Before CGI, there was Jim Henson - a true hero in a half shell!  And also a "sometimes" working animatronic giant talking rat. In all seriousness, thank you to all our supporters and listeners during our (way too long) hiatus. ...

Happy Independence Day you wonderful Lovely Spectators!  Speaking of 4th'ses's, OhEmGee!  It's Film Fights Season FOUR!!!  And we're kicking it off with a BANG (wink wink) with a Battle of the 'Merica!  Who will win?  Nick Cage's hairpiece?  Or Will Smith's cigar?  Find out on this very special and exciting episode of FILM FIGHTS! In all seriousness, thank you to...

Live from Dallas Comedy Club, famous Film Fighters, Kon 'n Jon, present these two classic 90s slasher films!  Well, one of them more classic than the other.  Which one?  I think the answer is obvious, but tune in to find out WHY!  Special thanks to the wonderful James Prewitt.

This is the end.  The end of Film Fights.  Season 3.   Going out with a BANG, Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon finish this wonderful run of battles with a hot new game show called Back of the Box!  Who will be crowned "You're Winner"?  Tune in to find out! On a rare serious note, we would like to thank the Lovely Spectators for tuning in to the show and all their support.  We will be t...

Finishing up our Spring Time Vexed Vamps theme is the Nic Cage Dracula film, Renfield, which focuses on the titular character, played by Nicholas Hoult.  Goofy, gory, and refreshingly different than the current landscape of paint-by-numbers flicks of late, will Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon prove that the entire world really HAS gone mad and that Renfield is GOOD ACTUALLY?  Well, we're not re...

Spring Time is here!  What a perfect time for Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon to discuss the VERY specific genre of 90s Vampire Romance Horror (the Rom-Vom, if you will).  So take a bite out of these tearjerking lovey dovey horror(ish) films, and you'll be turned into Waah-mpires!  Yup.  That terrible joke was absolutely worth you reading this.  Please listen, rate, share, and subscribe.  Thank...

It was inevitable that Evil Dead Rise would pop up in your Film Fights feed after that Deadites Franchise Frenzy.  These are the times, Lovely Spectators!  When opinions are white hot, and Intellectual Properties are played safe.  Your resident film fighters are not sure about the critical climate lately, but if Evil Dead has taught us anything, it's to go AGAINST the grain!  With extreme pre...

What's YOUR Boomstick?  Email us at battles@filmfightspodcast.com!  Spring time is coming and Deadites are in the air.  And your resident Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon are gearing up for a nice trip to an old cabin to revisit the Evil Dead series.  Listen in HORROR as the discussing of The Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, and Army of Darkness will have you questioning your sanity!  But seriously - wh...

Last week, Kon 'n Jon took to Game Fighting by discussing Sonic and Mario games, but now that the be-sneakered Blue Blur and the red-capped Jumpman have hit the big screen, it's time to take them to task - the Film Fights way!  

Gotta go fast!  So let's a-go and talk about two of the most recognizable and successful video game franchises ever created!  Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon turn GAME Fighters while discussing some gaming memories and critiques of these once rival mascots.   Stay tuned next week when the Game Fighters turn back into Film Fighters for a special battle of these lovable characters as they take to...

What's the matter, Sport?  All that Seagalin' making you THIRSTY!  Then EXIT WOUNDS the Gift Shop and pick up a sweet refreshing DMX Energy Drink!  "The drink that makes you THIRSTIER!" Drink it all in, LOVELY SPECTATORS - we're finishing up our SEAGAL SLEAZE with this 2001 NOTbuster Exit Wounds!  Don't bother asking for SECONDS, because this movie feels like HOURS! ...

Remember when Steven Seagal wasn't an embarrassing, racist, sexist, lying, unfunny, phony baloney jerk with zero self-awareness and even less charisma?  No, seriously, did that ever happen? Tangents include:  Hard to Kill Weekly, Real Life Wife, Fancy Slob, Sardines & Milk, Crook Magazine, Tommy Jones' Two-Face, Under Fridge, Mullets & Bullets,  Honolulu, Steven Stallone, Anvil S...

Movies get remembered.  Classics never die!  After our last battle of Baseball Kids Movies, we conclude our outing with a true legend, The Sandlot!  Lifeguards hooked up with children, Dogs were eating people, and Smalls was killing EVERYONE!  Unless you've seen this movie, this description sounds insane - and honestly, even if you have seen this movie, yea this description is bonkers!  Bonus...

Batter up!  And we're talking about cake batter!  Yep.  That's about as involved in baseball as we get here at Film Fights, so we are enlisting the help of a good friend, Jamie Gravitt, to join us for this special Baseball Kids Movies Battle!  Which movie hits the home run and goes to the Stanley Bowl?  One of them, probably!  Also, are these movies allegories for Christian propaganda!? ...

When you're on a roll, you are butter, and butter is hot - just like John Travolta was in 1996!  And yes, that metaphor was super smooth - as smooth as this Summer schlockbuster, Broken Arrow!  Keeping the theme going from last week, Film Fighters Kon 'n Jon finish up Travolta's '96 catalog with a movie that marks the ONLY time in "Siskel and Ebert" history that Roger...

After the success of 1994's Pulp Fiction, John Travolta found an incredible resurgence in carrying big money-farming films.  And lo, 1996 reared its grungy head and produced a trio of Travolta brilliance (citation needed) by way of a wise and charismatic Angel and a down-to-Earth dum dum genius.  Boil up some books and get ready to learn how to eat a lemon, because it's Film Fights Time!...

Happy Valentine’s Day you Lovely Spectators!  Continuing from last week, love is still in the air, and to wrap up this Battle of the Teen RomComs, your resident Film LOVERS - Kon ‘n Jon - discuss the 2001 Spoof Movie that is last week’s film battle mushed into a single ridiculous comedy (plus some other movies I guess). Tangents include: Jono’s Dyslexia Again, Child’s Play 4: A New Hope, Porn Vers...
