Hey everyone and welcome back to Filmmakers Compass Podcast! Dman and CP here to introduce a new format and discuss Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power. Very excited to make our return to podcasting and get some discussion going. So let us know if you’re excited for new LOTR!

We go a different route on today’s podcast as we look at 2 movies from the same series and see which one did it better…Sonic or Sonic 2!

Take a look back at the original blockbuster super hero movie…1978’s Superman! Christopher Reeve stars as the hero himself in the Richard Donner flick. Despite all its innovations and push in the genre, after all these years, does it still hold up?

Alright…here we go. This week on Total Rewind we look back at a forgotten movie that many of us probably haven’t seen…Arena. A sci-fi battle that leaves a lot to be desired. From the story and characters to music and effects we ask the simple question…does it hold up?

Movie Remake Time! returns and continuing with the still lively discussion around Batman we are taking a look at the campier side of things with Batman Forever vs Batman & Robin. It’s Joel Schumacher’s vision as he unleashes Val Kilmer vs George Clooney and introduces Robin and Batgirl to the big screen. From the zany villains, bright color palette, and cool toys we ask the question….who did it be...

In anticipation of new Matt Reeves directed “The Batman” we decided to take a look at the classic that started it all, Tim Burton’s 1989 film starring Jack Nicholson and Michael Keaton…Batman. This film introduced a lot to the comic book film genre and established Batman as the hero we know today. For many this is still the definitive film adaptation of Batman. But as always, we ask the question…d...

Movie Remake Time! returns this week as we take a look at original Sly 90s action film and the 2012 reboot Judge Dredd. While one brings the campy fun and 90s action film effects the other brings blood soaked violence and a more true to the comic visual style. The question is…who did it better!?

On this week’s Total Rewind we take a look back at an 80’s action movie classics and one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s more iconic roles…Predator! With a blend of genres and healthy mix of action and effects, is this an action movie that holds up today? Let us know what you think!

This week on Total Rewind we are discussing our first Disney animated feature…The Little Mermaid! Not only does this movie have a special place in Disney animation history but the story itself has been around for generations. The question now is…does it still hold up!?

On today’s episode we dive into a favorite of ours…the 1990 “indie” hit Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. How in the world did this movie work in live action!? And more importantly does it still hold up? What do you think??

Upon the new release of The Matrix Resurrections we have decided to take a look back at the original Matrix and what made it so special as well as how the new entry compares. So what do you think…which one did it better!?

What!? Another episode about Ghostbusters…? You would be correct but this week we are taking a look at the 2 remakes (Afterlife vs Answer the Call) and what they get right and what they get wrong. And of course…which one did it better.

Merry Christmas everyone!!! Hope you are all having a wonderful holiday and to help celebrate we wanted to discuss a holiday classic and it’s 2021 remake…Home Alone vs Home Sweet Home Alone. We think you know how this one will go but it’s a celebration of a holiday classic none the less. Enjoy!

It’s time celebrate the holidays so tune into the newest episode of Total Rewind as we discuss holiday movie “A Christmas Story”! This one has gained a following over time but is it still a classic?

This week we are discussing an 80’s “classic” The Breakfast Club. To some this is a quintessential high school/80’s movie and to others it is pretentious borefest that doesn’t make any sense. What do you think?

On this week’s episode of Movie Remake Time! we take a look at the brand new version of Dune vs it’s 1984 counterpart. Which one did it better?

Who ya gonna call…? The original Ghostbusters that’s who! On today’s Total Rewind we take a look at the classic that started it all. And surprise…it holds up! Mostly. So let us know your opinion and leave your comments below.

Original James Bond or new school? You decide. Who did it better?

Total Rewind returns! This time looking at an often forgotten monster movie from the 80’s Monster Squad. Capturing the spirit of Goonies and inspiring the likes of Stranger Things we discuss whether this movie holds up and is worthy of a remake. Let us know your thoughts!

Change of pace this week as we take a look at “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown!”. While it is a cartoon and shorter than most movies we discuss, it does have a special place in the list of #Halloweenmovies. But more importantly is it on your list? Does it still hold up? #CharlieBrown

In the build up to Halloween, this week we are going to discuss Stanley Kubrick classic “The Shining” and it’s spiritual sequel “Doctor Sleep” and see which one did it better. What are your thoughts?

Kicking off October we are getting in the spirit of Halloween with our first horror movie on Total Rewind and mega-franchise staple of the genre…Friday the 13th! Their are many oddities of the original entry in the series so we ask whether it still holds up.

Movie Remake Time! is back!!! Movie 🍿 🎥 We hope you’re excited for this episode because we’re pumped to be discussing comic book movies. This week we are comparing the Dark Phoenix comic as shown in X-Men: Last Stand and Dark Phoenix. Neither was tops in the X-Men movies (IMO) but the story is still one of the best comic arcs of all time. So which one did it better!? Let us know in the comments...

Fun discussion on this week’s “Total Rewind” as we take a look at the Stanley Kubrick class “A Clockwork Orange”. The film features Kubrick’s signature cinematography, ups the violence level and film, and deals with heavy dystopian themes. The question is…does it still hold up?
