Movies, Films and Flix

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1989 baseball movie Major League. Directed and written by David S. Ward, and starrring Charlie Sheen, Wesley Snipes, Rene Russo, Corbin Bernsen, Tom Berenger, and Dennis Haysbert, this smash-hit of a movie has aged beautifully and we loved talking about it. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about buckets of chicken, terrible pitch...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're celebrating the 20th anniversary of Deep Blue Sea. Released on July 28th, 1999, the Renny Harlin directed movie features shocking deaths, inventive set-pieces and a song about shark fin hats (it's awesome). Deep Blue Sea is one of our favorite films, and we think it's aged-beautifully, and is still the second best shark movie ever made (Jaws is #1). In...

This MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Sharks in Sweden, a totally fake shark movie starring Dolph Lundgren, Stephen Baldwin and Jeremy Irons. We've talked about Sharks in Sweden for a long time here at MFF, so we decided to sit down and dedicate an episode to the worlds only "Shark Heist" movie featuring genetically modified sharks attacking museum goers...in Sweden. In this...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the giant killer pig movie Boar. Directed by genre director Chris Sun, this 2017 creature feature focuses on a giant pig running wild in the Australian outback. MFF contributor John Leavengood loves this movie and couldn't wait to talk about the fights, kills and brawl between Nathan Jones and the large monster. In this podcast, you will h...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 2002 creature feature Eight Legged Freaks. This giant spider movie is totally underrated and we love its combination of humor, carnage and cheeky spiders who have charming personalities. It's a shame that it underpeformed at the box office, because it's very fun, and features solid CGI and inspired spider kills. In this podcast, you wi...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1999 cult classic comedy Election. Excellently directed by Alexander Payne (Citizen Ruth, About Schmidt, Sideways), the film only made $14 million during its initial theatrical run, however, it's built a cult following over the last 20 years. Election is a near-perfect comedy that gets better with age, and we still can't get over how g...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1991 cult classic The Rocketeer. The movie didn't take off in 1991, but since then, viewers have wisened up and realized it's a blast (pun intended). Directed by Joe Johnston (Captain America: The First Avenger) the PG-rated Disney movie has aged-well with its practical effects, fun performances and nostalgic vibes. In this podcast, yo...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the controversial 2019 film Dragged Across Concrete. Directed and written by S. Craig Zahler (Bone Tomahawk, Brawl in Cell Block 99) the film is a brutal look into a world filled with dirty cops, bank robbers and more dirty cops. We love how it makes nothing easy (it's 159 minutes long), revels in the miniatue of everyday life, and feature...

Mark and Norbert talk about the Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Total Recall. Released in 1990, the Paul Verhoeven directed movie was surprisingly smart, insanely violent and loaded with some brilliant Schwarzenegger one-liners (See you at the party, Richter!). In this episode, they also talk about Keith David (he isn't in the movie... but, he is the best), cereal on Mars, practical effects, and rel...

The MFF podcast is back for the 200th time! In honor of our 200th episode we're talking about Soldier, the 1998 Blade Runner-sidequel directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (listen to our Resident Evil podcast episodes now), that featured Kurt Russell beating many people up. What we love about Soldier is how it tells the story of an outdated soldier defeating upgraded soldiers — who don't realize they are...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1993 cult classic So I Married an Axe Murderer. The Mike Myer's starrring movie underperformed at the box office, but has since built a loyal audience who quote the movie frequently (Heed! Pants! Now!) and love extremely large cappuccinos. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about Froot Loops, Scottish accents and cinematographers w...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Judge Dredd (1995) and Dredd (2012). These two movies about the same character couldn't be more different, and we love that. Both movies had behind the scenes issues, and the end results were either fantastic or uneven (guess which is which). However, they are both entertaining in their own way and if they were combined, would make for a f...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the incredibly obscure 1993 horror film Ticks. If you are a fan of squishy sound effects, deadly arachnids and practical special effects you will love this episode. In this episode, you will hear us talk about evil marijuana dealers, giant bugs, and the effects of steroids on ticks. We had a great time talking about this movie because it's...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Jason X and the Friday the 13th remake. We're big fans of the franchise, so we did a ton of research so we could come up with some amazing F13 facts that will most likely blow your mind. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about illegal pot dealing, whiskey drinking, wakeboarding and Jason's archery skills. If you are a fan of the Frida...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Youngblood, a 1986 hocky film starring Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze. This R-rated hockey flick is a mixture of Rocky, Star Wars and Slapshot, as it features a mixture of fighting, farming and more fighting. In this episode, you will hear us talk about hockey fights, Keanu Reeves, and the negatives of eating pancakes for dinner. If you are a...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about 1999's Sleep Hollow, the Tim Burton directed movie that is beautiful to look at. The movie still looks amazing 20 years later, and it totally deserved the Oscar win for its wonderful art and set direction. Throw in the Colleen Atwood costume design, and Emmanuel Lubezki cinematrography, and you have one of the best looking movies of the la...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1993 rollerblading (and hockey) movie Airborne. Many of you might slightly remember Airborne because it features Jack Black and Seth Green rollerblading down a massive hill called "The Devil's Backbone" during the epic finale. The final race is pretty great, whereas the rest of the movie does its best to get to the race as quickly as p...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 2019 mega-blockbuster Avengers: Endgame. We love how the Russo Brothers did a fantastic job tying together 11 years and 22 films worth of Marvel shenanigans into one massively emotional package. We had a great time getting into all the spoilers and easter eggs featured in this three-hour epic. In this podcast, you will hear us talk abo...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 2008 superhero movie Jumper. The movie made $222 million worldwide, but was hated by critics who didn't like director Doug Liman's take on the superhero genre. We are big fans of the movie, and appreciate how Liman dragged the production to seven countries in an attempt to make the world feel real by going to actual locations in Italy,...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1994 comedy Airheads. It was a weird experience watching it again after about 20 years since the last viewing, because, the movie is a 1990's time capsule featuring "before they were huge" actors such as Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi, Adam Sandler and Chris Farley. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about cottage cheese, The Counti...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're ranking the 21 movies that make up the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The MFF podcast contributors ranked the movies, and we tallied the scores to crown a very worthy champion (Iron Man...because it's the best!). In this podcast, you will hear us talk about missing Kat Denning in the Thor movies, and the greatness of Michael Pena's Luis character from...

Mark and Adam (of the GoFigure YouTube show) talk about the 1993 action-epic Cliffhanger. We love this Renny Harlin directed film and couldn't wait to talk about John Lithgow punching Sylvester Stallone in the ribs, and the actual cost of hijacking a plane in the air. In this episode, they also discuss burger restaurants, weird kicking choices, and flannels that are way too big. If you are a fan o...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the underrated 1988 fantasy film Willow. Writer/producer George Lucas and director Ron Howard teamed up to make a very fun film featuring a 17-year old Warwick Davis and a very game Val Kilmer battling evil wizards, two-headed dragons and gross trolls. The movie holds up really well because of the practical effects, massive sets and beauti...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about a movie that features motorcycle jousting, renaissance fairs and Tom Savini in a major role. George Romero's underappreciated 1981 movie is 145 minutes of uniqueness, and we don't think any other director could've (or would've) made anything similar. In this podcast, you will hear us discuss lecherous knights, Ed Harris looking jacked, and...

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the underappreciated 2005 film Constantine. We're big fans of Francis Lawrence's Hellblazer adaption, so we read copious articles, listened to the DVD commentaries and found some great stuff to share with you. We still can't believe he got Tilda Swinton, Peter Stormare, Rachel Weisz, Djimon Hounsou and Keanu Reeves to appear (and look awes...
