Moviesucktastic

More Halloween goodness! This week we talk about the films The Lords or Salem, Life, Day Of The Animals, The Fly (1986) and From Beyond The Grave.

We review Scott's challenge of Galaxy Of Terror and kick off Halloween Horror films for October with The Babadook.

Scott and Joey have been on a small hiatus but they are back and in full force! This episode is mostly a catch up one. We do talk about some films but there is a touch of political talk to even things out.

Enemy Mine was a film that directly challenged Star Wars but in a more serious dramatic attempt. Although better than we remembered it still has its problems. Listen in and decide for yourself.

The Last Starfighter was the first film to utilize all computer graphics by way of Crays Servers. Some scenes look pretty good but most look downright terrible. The film itself isn't entirely bad but we remembered liking it more as kids.

WarGames actually doesn't deserve to get the Moviesucktastic treatment as it's a pretty good film. Everything is top notch from the cinematography to acting. Move along, nothing to see here.

Teen sex, malls, killer robots and the 80's! Just about everything you'd want in a film about such things. Cheesy and poorly acted at times but that won't stop you from liking the hell out of this movie.

Deadly Friend is on many top lists for Wes Craven. Although there are parts of the film that are classic Wes, it feels like the studio may have interfered and deviated from the book a little too much.

Hollywood and computers have always been a bit of an issue in the 80's. Electric Dreams is no different. Although inventive on how technology was used it was completely by accident. Bud Cort as the computers voice is a big plus and saves the film.

With the recent controversy over Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, Joey and Scott head back to Superman's roots and celebrate the greatest Superman film ever made, complete with Richard Pryor as a computer hacker and the infamous junkyard fight.

In the last of this round of listener request episodes, Joey and Scott review two documentaries for Steve Brooks on films that never made it to the big screen, Alejandro Jodorowsky's version of Dune, and Superman Lives starring Nicolas Cage.

Part of Moviesucktastic's listener request reviews, Joey and Scott tackle the slapstick absurdities of Mr. Bean's Holiday for YouTube vlogger Amy McLean. Also on board, some trailers from 360soundandvision for The Face in the Wall and The Glasses 2.

Joey and Scott review the notorious Ken Marshall (who?) vehicle, basically Willow meets Star Wars, with a dash of Tron. If you survived the 80's, you still have nightmares about crushed Cyclops and Charlie Bucket's math teacher turning into animals.

Evils Toons was played on late night Skinemax on a regular basis. Joey never saw it fully until recently and didn't take too well to it's horrible pacing, bad acting and even worse plot structure. Scott was a bit more forgiving (not by much).

Cool World was requested for this weeks show and boy it doesn't disappoint. It's bad, poor decisions were made and a razor thin script that really makes no sense. Bakshi at his lowest and most defeated by studios.

Death machines are unstoppable but are they human or not? Can they be killed? If that wasn't enough they throw in a love story that makes zero sense and tease you with a hero who just turns out to to be a weak pathetic wimp. It's bad, really bad.

Blockbuster season is nearly here and with that comes movies that will either make or break the Spring and Summer season. We talk about movies like Guardians Of The Galaxy 2, Spider-man, Wonder Woman and a whole bunch more. Tune in!

SPOILER ALERT! We give Nocturnal Animals the proper review it deserves. A film snubbed at this year's Oscars except Best Supporting Actor by Michael Shannon nom. This film is so good you'll also wonder why it wasn't even a mention.

The 89th Academy awards are finally here! The wives join us for a short while as we commentate on the Oscars for the evening. Join us for every award and flub including the shocking ending as they announce Best Picture.

Moonlight tells a story of a young boy through manhood. Through all of this you see the troubles and tribulations of what he's going through living in a rough neighborhood of Miami and also trying to survive without anyone knowing he's gay.

When two brothers decide to leave their 3 year old sister behind to fend for herself, young Saroo gets lost and adopted by wealthy Australian white people. As an adult he tries to find his family and still doesn't care about his sister when he does.

SPOILER ALERT! It's VERY hard to review this film without giving something away. Just be warned that if you haven't seen this movie yet you may want to skip this episode until you do. Great film by the way although very depressing.

August Wilson's compelling stage play brought to life on the big screen by none other than Denzel Washington himself. Beautifully acted and well directed. "There's no law that says I have to like you"

La La Land is one of those films that everyone thinks they have to like and that's just not true. You don't have to like this, you don't have to feel it should win Best Picture and you definitely don't have to tell other people to see it either.

Mel is back! The ultra real and quite disturbing WWII film delivers on all fronts that an Oscar nominated film should be. Does Mel get Suicide Squad II because of this? Joey thinks so.
