Geek Mentality

Look, I'm going to be honest with you. It's 11:31pm and I am rushing to get this episode up and done and get all the posts about it done - so I don't have any real time to talk about this movie, but I will tell you this: I FRIGGIN' LOVED THIS MOVIE!

And with that, I am completely caught up with Marvel - except I am totally not and didn't realize it until I started typing this...Oops, that Tree and Raccoon movie is still out there. Oh well, I'm not changing it now. This was basically a space movie with Ant-Man. Not great, but enjoyable enough.

With the Wisdom of Solomon, the Strength of Hercules, the Courage of Achilles, the Power of Zeus, the Stamina of Atlas, the Speed of Mercury, I watched today’s movie – Shazam! Fury of the Gods! Sure this movie died out at the box office, and the critics didn’t love it, and for a while I wasn’t sure if I would like it – but it picked up for me, and by the end I was enjoying myself even if I was thi...

This movie has been on my list since the first time I saw the trailer. It looks so dark and creepy - not sure why I waited so long (probably was only available to purchase at the time). If you can't tell, I wrote this description before watching the movie. My buddy wants to go get Indian food tonight so I wanted to prep ahead of time and get as much done as possible BEFORE watching the movie....

Today I watched the first movie in the Rocky-verse that did not feature Sylvester Stallone in it. And you know what? That is okay - because this was a good, well-made movie. And sure, during my podcast I got name of the big fight wrong - and I forgot to talk about the ring announcer with the crazy dreds - but hey that's okay. Maybe I'll remember those for Creed IV.

It's always great when a movie that a bunch of your friends have been loving and quoting lives up to (and even exceeds) the hype. A movie that you know was going to be good based on their opinions, on the fact of who made and acted in this movie, and of course all the accolades it was getting - and yet you still come out appreciating it even more than you thought you would. Oh and my friend an...

I knew for a while that this would be the movie for day 9 - mainly because today is the day Renfield showed up on Peacock. Oh and even though the movie didn't get great reviews or have a great box office - I had a lot of fun watching it. With Nicolas Cage as Dracula - How could I not?

It's been 33 years between Fletch movies and I think it was worth the wait. Any reason to get Jon Hamm and John Slattery in a room talking to each other is good enough for me - but in all honesty, I really really enjoyed this movie. I wish it got more attention so there could be more.

The Rock giveth and The Rock taketh away. This movie left me feeling bittersweet. Sweet because of the cameo at the end. Bitter because it was probably the last time we'll see that man play that character. And also bitter because this movie was just...meh.

I started this movie with a frozen burrito for breakfast and ended the movie during some Hot Pockets at lunch. As you can see, I'm a huge foodie so this movie was right up my ally. In all seriousness, this movie was dark, fun, scary, weird, and with great acting. My compliments to the chefs!

Marvel, Ryan Coogler, and the cast of this movie really could not have done a better job with crafting this sequel - especially under the real life circumstances - as well as they did. I definitely had some chopped onions nearby.

What's your favorite scary movie? I'll tell that mine - is not this. I didn't hate it, and there was a bunch I did like about it - but my eyes did roll more than once as I tried to figure out what crazy person was wearing the Ghostface mask this time...

This movie was everything I expected and more. Bonkers. Crazy. Ridiculous. Absurd. And I am saying those with the highest level of compliment. The most shocking thing to me is the Motion Picture Academy were smart enough to give the Oscar to this wild, fun, emotional - incredibly acted - ride. This movie will definitely have to be rewatched - so I can try to figure out all the things I KNOW I miss...

In a shocking turn of events, I'm watching a Marvel movie! Yup, I'm probably the last MCU fan in the world to see this one.

And just like that it's June again! Welcome back movie nerds to another 30 days of movies. Another 30 days of podcasts. Another 30 days of dear ol' Mikey watching and talking a movie he's never every day this month! And what makes this even crazier is - this is the TENTH year of Movie Month! This year will mark the 300th movie and the 240th podcast (remember those first two years were...

Well, my friends, the time has come. To raise the roof and have some fun. Throw away the work to be done. Let the podcast play on.....We did it! It's here! The Marchy McFly 3 Finale episode! I laughed, I cried, I drank diet soda, and I did my best to recap scene-by-scene with no notes the entire plot of the movie in what I call "The Story of Back to the Future Part III." Thank you to e...

This feels weird. There's only one more day of Marchy McFly left after today. I'm not sure what to think. In one way, this month has flown by - but on the other hand it feels like my life now is just watching and podcasting about Back to the Future Part III - so I am not sure how it's going to feel once it's all over. But that day is not today. No, today I talk mostly about what th...

It's just another Manic Wednesday....Nah, that didn't work. No wonder Prince changed it to Monday. Anyway - Happy day 29 everybody! Today I talk a tiny bit about some notes, and focus most of the time talking about Doc and Clara's sons, Jules...And Verne. I found a reddit page talking about the actor who played Verne that was kind've interesting. And I look up a little about those...

Normal? Well, most of them are - but one of them still looks like all that time travel Marty went through did end up changing him....But guess what isn't changed - ME watching Back to the Future Part III again! Yes for the 28th day in a row I watched this movie and for the 28th day in a row I am here talking about it. BUT - for the first day in a row, I am welcoming back another longtime frien...

It's Monday! The fourth and final Monday of Marchy McFly! And guess how I spent it? Great Scott, you nailed it! Yes, I watched "Back to The Future Part III" for the 27th day in a row. I mean seriously, what were you expecting? Today I talk about a couple articles that I found. One from the Hollywood Reporter and one from Today.com. That and I still have some notes to go through!

Happy Final Sunday, Everybody! Even though Yesterday’s episode image shows Marty about to give Doc a bit of Chester’s “Wake Up Juice,” I took some time today to talk that crazy concoction. I mention how it is written in the novelization and compare that to how it is written in the “ Paradox ” script. And even though I don’t take it as far as actually making the drink myself (dammit I can’t believe...

Saturday....On the Pod...I think it was the 4th of July...I mean 25th of March! Well here we are - our first "LAST" episode is upon us. This is the last Saturday of Marchy McFly and it's not a Saturday Night party without my longtime friend Eric making his return to the show ! I wrote this about 10 hours before we talked to each other - but I assume the episode turned out amazing...

Happy Friday everybody! Can you believe after today it's one week left!? The FINAL final stretch is upon us and I almost can't believe it. I have some fun things lined up and some familiar voices will be returning to Geek Mentality in this last week - but in the meantime I hope you enjoy today's show. I go over some notes, strum the guitar a bit - and figure out just how many times the...

It's Thursday. It's day 23. I watched that movie again. And today I review some Rotten Tomatoes reviews as well as read some full reviews of Back to the Future Part III from back when it first came out: Review/Film; A Trilogy Whose Future Has Passed By Vincent Canby May 25, 1990 New York Times (via the Internet Archive) Back To the Future Part III By Ty Burr Updated November 09, 1990 Enter...

It’s Wednesday, everybody! And as of today we are in the final stretch of shows. The final ten! This weekend will be the final weekend. Next week will be the final week. I feel like it’s been going on forever and at the same time it’s been flying by! I guess that’s how time works though, right? You don’t realize how much has passed until it’s already gone – and there isn’t a DeLorean or stolen tra...
