Forever Movie Boys

It't time for an Other this week so Maciej and Tobias build a snowman out of their collective thoughts on Disney's 2013 mega-hit Frozen.  They wouldn't be the FMB if they didn't have some criticism (surprisingly not Josh Gad), but even the boys can't deny that Disney magic. The discussion leaves plenty of room on the table for Disney's other films, a quick word about The Incredibles 2 and an unexp...

Calling all FMBuffs! This week Tobias, Maciej and special guest Jamison endured more than 2hrs in each others company to bring you a very special episode. In the wake of Mission Impossible: Fallout, the boys strap themselves in and do their darndest to talk about the ENTIRE Mission Impossible catalogue 1 through to 6. The high's and lows are too many to detail here, but rest assured there's plenty...

Hey FMBuffs, we're a day late with this one due to some scheduling issues, but fear not we have a neat little episode primed for your viewing pleasure. To fill in the void between significant releases (cough, MI:6), Tobias and Maciej decided to tick another film off the list and got around to watching RZA's The Man With The Iron Fists.  Their response is middling, but there's fun to be had with th...

Hey FMBuffs, it's time for another obscure pick from the boys and they've opted for 1985's Sam Raimi-directed, Joel and Ethan Coen-written, underseen slapstick flop known as "Crimewave". Despite its infamy, Maciej and Tobias found themselves thoroughly entertained by the films antics, but whether that's an unconscious bias at play, well that's up to you listeners.  Enjoy.

This week the FMB have brought on our resident geologist* and fellow Atebit podcaster Saleem Abraham to talk The Rock with the star's latest PG action offering "Skyscraper".  Tobias, Maciej and Sam pull no punches when discussing the film and basically find excuses to talk about more exciting things, like Peter Berg, Harrison Ford and the Mission Impossible franchise. And hey it wouldn't be the FM...

Hey FMBuffs! Like the rest of the world the Forever Movie Boys run on Marvel time and the clock's chiming Marvel O'clock with the release of Ant Man & The Wasp, directed by Peyton Reed. Maciej is as always his negative self and Tobias does some soul searching to figure out if he even liked the film. This was our first long-distance episode, so the audio is a little uneven, but we still got a kick...

In anticipation of Luca Guadagnino's upcoming remake, Tobias has picked Dario Argento's eyegasmic horror fairytale, Suspiria, to pleasure our eyes and ears this week.  Join him and Maciej for a surprisingly varied discussion spanning from black magic to wide-shots to Nicolas Winding Refn's dumb face and Udo Kier's (unconfirmed) love of cravats. next week we adhere to the Marvel diet with Ant Man a...

In this Dino-sized episode, your favourite primeval predators Maciej and Tobias feast on the carcass of the Jurassic Park franchise.  This is a pretty savage one folks and the boys don't let up on the film for one second; Tobias hates it so much he drops a C-bomb. They do, however get a chance to reminisce over earlier franchise iterations and speculate on the potential future of the series. Next...

It's an FMBmergency this week! Tobias and Maciej have decided to forego an Other this week and indulge in their adoration for Greatest-Most-Underrated-Actor-Ever Logan Marshall Green! They honour their favourite boy by talking about his and Director Leigh Whannell's new film "Upgrade". What follows is a heap of love on LMG, some nitpicking and extremely weird tangents into "Garth Marenghi's Darkpl...

Hey FMBuffs, after last weeks sonically unpleasant episode we're back this week with a clean, crisp little number for your listening pleasure. This episode, Maciej and Tobias rifle through the pockets of Ari Aster's "Hereditary" and sort the lint from the loose change.  Much praise is heaped on Toni Collette, Alex Wolff and the film in general. The boys also make time to assess Hereditary's stance...

Hey everybody, as promised here is our Maniac Cop episode! Sooo this one was a little turbulent with technical difficulties galore; as a result theres about a ten minute chunk of solid gold missing somewhere in the middle and Tobias sounds like he's recording from the Phantom Zone, but hopefully y'all can still glean some precious knowledge and insight from the FMB.  next week we tackle the latest...

This week Maciej and Tobias strap in and talk the Kessel Run in less than 80 minutes. That's terrible geekspeak for talkin' Solo: A Star Wars Story. In an atypical twist from the FMB, the boys spend a lot of time defending a film they generally don't rate very highly. They cover all the names: Ehrenreich! Howard! Lord! Miller! Glover! Clarke! Kasdan! and somehow even make lil' room for Berg? Join...

Gather today to witness a special moment in FMB history; Tobias and Maciej fill the gaping hole in their collective appreciation of Peter Berg by finally getting around to watching arguably the greatest board game-to-film adaptation of all time, "Battleship".  The boys babble about Berg's storied career, praise his love of the working class and pit his style against that of his infamous filmmaking...

Thanks to the FMB's parents at Atebit.net, the boys went and saw a (barely) advanced screening of Jason Reitman's "Tully". Maciej and Tobias get the Tullytalk out of the way early and take a wide detour through Bergville and A Quiet Place before miraculously bringing it back on topic with a little help from Max Landis.  It's a scattershot episode folks, but a lot of fun nonetheless!  Next week the...

Well the FMB have been a real mess this week; after some eleventh-hour technical troubles, the boys had to switch up their intended film and settle for an impromptu Netflix pick.  Thankfully, Netflix provided the boys with the return of cinematic action-god John Woo and his latest action film ManHunt! The floodgates open and Tobias and Maciej gush about the film and the maestro's body of work (mos...

Well we're here; the "Biggest Movie Of All Time" has birthed an episode from the Forever Movie Boys befitting such a title.  Maciej and Tobias spend almost 2 hours (their longest episode yet!) casting an often cynical eye over Marvels monstrosity. Discussion remains mostly locked into the film itself and related topics, but as usual there's a little fun to be had with the proceedings. We do hope y...

It's that time of the fortnight again and after a last minute change-up, Tobias bravely stepped up to the plate and selected Michael Mann's "The Last Of The Mohicans" for his and Maciej's viewing pleasure. They dredge not just the film, but Mann's career for highs and lows and somehow Terrence Malick manages to cop some harsh words from Tobias. Viva La Longue Carabine! next week Infinity War...

This week the boys carve a devastating path through Rampage's central conceit, steamroll the Rock's performance and utterly raze Brad Peyton's direction.  There are, however, some diamonds to be found in the rubble, and Maciej and Tobias will gladly cash those in the hope they'll help compensate for the inflated price of their tickets.  Enjoy! Next week Barton Fink shows us the life of the mind. 

This week Nick returns (for the 3rd time!) to indulge in a long chat with Tobias and Maciej about John Landis' infamous flop "The Stupids". It turns out all three of the boys hold the film in high regard and they dutifully pay Tom Arnold the respect he deserves.  Three quickly became two during this episode as Tobias' pre-show coffee unexpectedly caught up with him, but you'll be glad to hear he's...

Alright players, this week our two allergy-addled hosts bravely sniffle their way through Steven Speilberg's latest cinematic treat Ready Player One. Knowing full well it could take over the whole episode, the boys hold off on Rylance talk till the end and in the meantime discuss the relative highs and lows of this "pop-culture handjob". Next week we're doing The Stupids so make sure you're brushe...

Are movie titles that are character names inherently off-putting? What era does Solomon Kane even take place in? Could Daniel Craig play a pilgrim? Will Nick throw Ty Sheridan a bone?  This week Maciej, Tobias, and returning guest Nick Virgona, bring the Solomon Pain with a wide spanning discussion about Michael J. Basset's decidedly underrated B-movie. Next week we load into the Oasis for Ready P...

This week Maciej, Tobias and their romantic jaguar(?), Anand unspool their minds in discussing Alex Garland's Annihilation.  They grapple with heavy themes, Netflix distribution, a mid-episode food order and the question of Danny McBride's appeal when it comes to Alien: Covenant.  Enjoy! Next week, Tobias has picked 2009's Solomon Kane as the main course, which we will consume with another special...

Tobias and Maciej wrestle with Quantum Physics, Christianity, The Anti-God and John Carpenter's dated style in this latest episode. The dish is Carpenter's Prince of Darkness, and the boys stuff themselves with a lively discussion that often and willingly veers into the rest of JC's oeuvre as well as an extremely brief, but tantalising segue into The Matrix sequels. Enjoy! Next week we talk Alex G...

Hey y'all, hope you enjoyed our little Oscar's soiree, but we're back to the grind this episode and what a grind it was.  Listen as we appropriately find ourselves at a loss of words in our attempts to describe Duncan Jones' Netflix-resurrected offering, Mute.  *WARNING* entirely too much time is spent talking about 1999's Bicentennial Man this episode, you have been warned. enjoy!
