Mega64 Movie Club

This week at Movie Club, we revisited "The Truman Show" for the second time, prompting reflections on how our expatiations have changed since our teenage years. What did we think then? What do we think now? Let's all find out

Can't watch 500 million episodes of Movie Club without making a few enemies. This week we cover the movie Rocco had to convince Shawn to watch 2 times "The Social Network" How do we feel about a movie about Facebook in 2024? Let's all find out together.

GET ON UP!! We've seen The Blues Brothers bit on a whole bunch of shows- singing and stuff on SNL, at Universal Studios, etc... but we never really laughed. Was it supposed to be funny? What IS the deal with the Blues Brothers, anyway? Let's finally investigate this and watch THE BLUES BROTHERS movie from 1980!

This week call us Mr. Blue and Mr. Green because today we are talking about Quentin Taratino's first movie Reservoir Dogs. Is this the perfect film to watch in High School/College? Or does watching it for the first time now still leave an imprint on you. Let find out!  

Today on Movie Club we cover James Cameron's 1989 The Abyss. How did they make this movie?... and why wont Ed Harris speak of it publicly? Let's all find out together.

When we say T2 what movie do you think of? That's right! The sequel to the 1996 classic Trainspotting! Just the original cast we all reunited (looking a little older) to record the follow up to the movie club we did way back in June of 2023. Come join us wont you?

We saw Napoleon

Oscar season is in its FINAL WEEK! We are mellowing out a bit to check out Past Lives, a quiet little movie from a first time director that certainly made a great first impression! Did this blow us away or leave us feeling like we wanted to leave our "Life" in the "Past?" (These descriptions can't all be winners.)

Oscar season continues as Rocco & Shawn are forced into a SECONDARY recording setup while preparations continue for Mega64 Olympic Board Games (which happened four days ago). We watch The Holdover, a movie we're told is a "holiday classic," which we're not sure about... featuring a lazy eye we may have heard TOO much about. What did the duo think of this Paul Giamatti holiday doorbuster?

Oscar season continues! Here at Mega64, we all have the brain of a juvenile child. So we felt right at home watching Poor Things, a new movie by the guy who directed The Favorite. We loved that movie- what will we think of this one?

Somehow, Shawn didn't see Oppenheimer. Did he think it was good or a TOTAL BOMB? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Once you stop laughing, watch our discussion of this movie. And then, just as the detonator is hit... SURPRISE 'ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD' EPISODE

Get a rope! We've seen all the big Hitchcock classics... but how did this one get past us? Especially when it has all kinds of revolutionary filmmaking tricks in it... AND Jimmy Stewart! You can't go wrong with Jimmy Stewart. Can you? Find out as Rocco and Shawn watch this 1948 flick full of genuine surprises!

The unthinkable has happened! Shawn somehow convinced Rocco to watch the new WONKA. After swearing off all forms of future Wonkas after the dreadful Tim Burton remake poisoned Rocco's soul, he cautiously agreed to see the film... and the discussion is simply delicious!

He's too old for this sh** - but are we?? Rocco saw the new Indiana Jones in theaters over the summer, but Shawn never saw it. Can these two former Indy-heads meet in the middle to determine if this is a good final chapter or not?

We didn't kill our wife, but we DID watch a fun 90's movie! It's the beginning of Harrison Ford Month at Mega64 HQ as we run full speed down the pipeline towards the 90's blockbuster thriller The Fugitive. Were we innocent or guilty of enjoying it?

Look, we know Christmas is over, but we're still on holiday break so don't ruin this for us. Anyway, for the first time ever on Mega64 Movie Club, we watch REAL cinema: a straight to DVD Bam Margera feature that you can find freely on YouTube!

It's the holiday season! Let's learn from our past, present, and future as Rocco and Shawn watch SCROOGED for the first time and see what they thought of it!

Years ago, the whole Mega64 crew got together to watch the 4th Matrix movie, but broke for the holidays before they could ever review it together on a podcast. Two years later, we make good on our silent treatment and FINALLY deliver our reviews to our loyal patrons. I wonder what Rocco and Shawn thought of it???? Any guesses????

On tour, we watched a TON of movies- and just by chance, out of a bargain bin we picked one of Garrett's all time favorite movies! Join him as he sits down with Rocco and Shawn (who had never seen the movie before at all) to gather all their thoughts about this movie we totally didn't know had vampires in it.

Having just visited Alcatraz ourselves, we HAD to see how one would escape it. The easiest way was to watch ESCAPE FROM ALCATRAZ with Clint Eastwood, based on the true story of a real escape! Was it a trip seeing this 1979 prison flick shot at the very historical location we just explored? Or should this movie go back to the slammer?

Here's Rocco, Shawn, and Garrett digging into Killers of The Flower Moon, which they all saw together on tour. Did we erupt with moans of pleasure OR pain during this lengthy journey to a taboo point in history?

Through a sequence of events, some random dude just becomes president. Does this movie premise produce White House level gold or Waffle House level crap? Rocco and Shawn finally return from tour with a long overdue Movie Club episode where they both watch it- both from the perspective of a newcomer AND someone affected by it at an early age. What will they think now?

We go back to the source of many cinematic scares- the old Universal monster movies! And we check out the Bride of Frankenstein... right? She's in this movie, isn't she? Eventually?

Isn't it fun to be a vampire? We find out today in our Lost Boys episode of Movie Club- once again joined by two people who've never seen it (Rocco and Shawn) and a trained master on the subject (Garrett). Is this a tour of gore and horror, or just a funny 80s movie?
