That title says it all, I believe that Sam Rami's Evil Dead @ is the Greatest movie ever made. Sure that's just one podcasts opinion but We have a little help from some family this week to back up our case. Evil Dead II (1987) is a cult classic horror-comedy film directed by Sam Raimi. It serves as both a sequel to and a reimagining of the original The Evil Dead (1981). The film blends elements of...

Twisters is the kind of ReBoot that doesn't bother us on this show, sure its dumb, but it keeps the action moving. It thankfully also features tow likable leads and a director who is more than game to add his stamp on the disaster genre.

Spinal Tap is a true classic. This film's impact can't truly be measured. This is one of the most quoted and notable cult movies of all time. Now don't wirry now, Spinal Tap hasnt been rebooted we are just taking a look at classic films and a SPIRTUAL SUCCusor .

This was one of the biggest movies of 96 right behind Independence Day (one day we will cover that too.) So Strap yourself into your Dodge Ram and get ready for Debris.

Somewhere out there, James Cameron is making a plan to finish off Ed Harris and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. All kidding aside, It may sound extreme but so was the production of The Abyss was a freaking nightmare. With that kind of production, was all the misery worth it. Listen along and find out.

Sometimes the best thing that a B movie can have is low expectations. Meredith and i went into this film expecting very little and left a bit surprised at how effective this flick could be in sections. Di d we end up liking this one more than Leviathan, listen along to find out If you would like to contact us just hit us up on any of our socials TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@grittyreboot?_t=8mPk...

Some years have twin films, but 1989 had triplets, (technically 89 had five aquatic thrillers) and this week we take a look at the movie i came in ready to defend as an underrated gem only to be a bit surprised as we watched George P. Cosmatos' Leviathan without rose colored glasses. Without nostalgia helping were we able to appreciate it or did we leave it under the sea

This week we look at the well made but pointless Poltergeist remake from 2015. It’s not an awful film like The Fog was but it doesn’t help that every frame of this gets compared to the Tobe Hooper classic. This is special show for us because, due to a falling tree, we lost power in our home and recorded our show in the Texas summer heat and in the dark. If you would like to contact us just hit us...

This week we begin our breakdown of Tobe Hooper's Poltergeist and its 2015 Remake starring Sam Rockwell. How many of you guys watched Poltergeist as your first horror movie, I know i did. This one has a special place in my heart. We put the nostalgia aside and really dive into this. We talk about who directed this, how the idea started, and the cultural impact this film. So please give it a downlo...

As the Title states it’s The Fog, John Carpenter flavored this week. And yeah its one of his lesser works and you know what that still makes for fun viewing. We still enjoyed it and it was a treat to watch one more time.

They should not have bothered with remaking The Fog in 2005. This is a lackluster and completely forgettable remake. I feel bad for kids who grew up with this constantly airing on the sci fi channel.

This week we dive into part two of our three part series on Childs play. This week we look at MGM's reboot from 2019. A rights issue lead to this split in the franchise but the fans decided they preferred Don Mancini’si interpretation of the character as this did middling business and has no planned sequels

Chcuky's here and we are thrilled. This week we cover Tom Holland's Childs Play from 1988. This is a tight and well crafted thriller with really incredible animatronic effects. This is a true classic that demands your attention.

We may not have said the nicest things about Charles Bronson's original but man it’s a masterpiece compared to this. Listen to us as we complain about Bruce Willis sleeping his way through this film. Before he retired Bruce turned in some of the worst performances of his career. Eli Roth can’t even his his genre sensibilities to elevate this vigilante justice turkey.

Death Wish with Charles Bronson is an absolute classic but it left Meredith and I a little cold sadly. Join us as we debate the merits of Charles Bronson as an actor, vigilantism, 70s cinema, and the debut of Jeff Goldblum. Get your guns out fellers and let's head to Arizona… err I mean New York!

It's not a shocker for us to say we preferred the 2015 version of Jumanji over the original version, but we have to stress that we really dig this interpretation. Jumanji Welcome to the Jungle is a great blockbuster.

In December of 1995 the world of cinema bestowed Jumani to us. Upon meeting a mixed critical recpetion it still went on to be one the biggest hits of the holiday season and start a franchise with a loose sequel and a reboot. Does this odd non comedic role for Robin Williams hold up or the film as dated as the CG monkeys. Listen to find out. Please Follow us @Gritty_Reboot on Instagram, YouTube, an...

Here is our belated look at the 2024 Oscar ceremony

This week we take a look at the career of Harrison Ford. Once the brightest star of the 1980s and a considerable bankable lead all the way into the 2000s. Wow, he may have had his ups and downs in new millennium will indeed drown as one of Hollywood’s movie stars join along with Meredith and I, as we break down his entire career. His dizzying highs to his lowest lows join us. Please Follow us @Gri...

We were truly unprepared for this limp, and lifeless (not even in a good way) American Adaptation of the Japanese Classic Kairo. Even with this film featuring one of our favorite actresses we still found almost no redeeming qualities of any kind. Pusle might ne the moist insignificant remake we have ever seen.
