NO FLICKS GIVEN

We only have one rule: everyone listens, no one quits. We're joined by friend-of-the-pod Pat Luciano to discuss a fan favorite: Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers. Set in the 23rd century, the story follows teenager Johnny Rico and his comrades as they serve in the military of the United Citizen Federation, an Earth-based world government engaged in an interstellar war against an alien spe...

Summer is here and it's time to bring on the mindless blockbusters. This week, Frank, Peter, and Connor take a look at the 1989 "classic" Tango and Cash , staring Sylvester Stalone and Kurt Russel as two cops that don't play by the rules. And also might love each other very much.

Another First Contact Day, another Giant-Sized Trek Review! Cousin Mike and Matt are tackling the third season of Strange New Worlds and all the strike-impacted foibles that came with it. Each episode is covered in fine detail, so we highly recommend a watch along. If you're looking for discussion of a particular episode. Timecodes below: Hegemony, Part 2: 00:09:30 Wedding Bell Blues: 00:33:37...

In a dramatic conclusion to our Three Musketeers exploration, we finally land where we set off to reach in the first place, the 2023, french language adaptation of The Three Musketeers, starting François Civil as D'Artagnan, Vincent Cassel as Athos, Romain Duris as Aramis, Pio Marmaï as Porthos , and Eva Greene as Milday de Winter. Cutting to the chase, it's great! Tremendous fun and a gre...

In the continuing adventures of our Four Podcasteers watching Three Musketeers movies, today we learn that they can't all be winners. Some big choices are made, some are good, some are bad, most are only kind of half baked. But we love a big swing at NFG HQ, so en gaurde! as we swing into... more Muskteer action. The only question remaining, ladders or airships? "The Musketeer" (2001...

We've got another mega-series for you all (despite telling us to stop). Connor, Matt, Peter and Frank are all coming together to discuss four film adapations of Alexandre Dumas' classic adventure novel "The Three Musketeers". In this episode we'll be talking about the following versions: "The Three Musketeers" (1973) dir. Richard Lester "The Three Musketeers&qu...

It's Frank's turn to be visited by Santa (this time played by Connor), who's brought a little bit of the old dusty trail to our holiday celebration. Frank and Connor are joined by Matt while they discuss 1985's "Silverado!" It's a a classic Western about four unlikely heroes—a calm gunfighter (Scott Glenn), a charming drifter (Kevin Kline), a sharpshooting Black cowbo...

Peter's opening the next holiday gift this season, unwrapping a lovely little 90s adventure film given to him by Frank. Join the two boys as they discuss Stephen Sommers' 1994 live action (and we mean live action) The Jungle Book. That's right. It's Christmas in India! The film is based on the Mowgli stories from The Jungle Book (1894) and The Second Jungle Book (1895) by Rudyard K...

Let the Great Gifting of 2025 begin! Peter and Matt are holed up by the fire to talk about a cult classic from their youth that, somehow, Matt never caught. Peter's got Lucky Number Slevin all wrapped up and tied with a bow today on No Flicks Given!

Happy Holidays from all of us at No Flicks Given! This season, we're doing something a little different. This episode's just a little teaser to our Christmas Concept and a preview of the movie's we'll be posting episodes on this December, so be sure to listen so you know what's coming to your feed soon! - Connor, Matt, Peter and Frank

Welcome back to the fire campers. We had chills and spills last week with Lake Michigan Monster . This week we have... something else... entirely: 2011's The Bunnyman. We'll be honest. Don't watch Bunnyman. You'll miss nothing. It's a mean, incompetent, and worst of all... boring movie. That said, there is a great tale behind the scenes that Connor tells us all about. Listen as...

Happy Halloween, dear listeners. We've relit the fire just in time for Peter to join us for another year of the Campfire Series. This year's theme: movies about our hometown cryptids. Watch how quickly we go off-theme. Our first entry is a Peter pick: 2018's Lake Michigan Monster, a comedy horror film written, produced and directed by Ryland Brickson Cole Tews. It stars Tews, Erick Wes...

Well, it's Star Trek Day...again. Matt's cousin Mike has been brought out from stasis to talk about the second season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds at long last. The world, and Trek, have already considerably changed since it first aired, but is it worth watching and does it have the right message for our trying times? Only one way to find out. Hailing Frequencies are open on this speci...

It's the head to head nobody was asking for in 2025. Once again our cultural timing is spot on. This week the boys revisit Antz and A Bug's Life to see which truly is the quintessential CGI-bug movie of the late 90s. Antz is a 1998 American animated adventure comedy film directed by Eric Darnell and Tim Johnson from a screenplay written by Todd Alcott and the writing team of Chris and Paul...

Someone once asked, "Why is Horizon?" And that's exactly what Connor, Matt and Frank are here to...also ask. Welcome back to our Kevin Costner series for Part 2, where we cover Chapter 1. Today we get revenge on Matt for making everyone watched the Postman to bring him Costner's opus: Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1, the first 3 glorious hours of what is expected to be a 12 hour, 4-movie fra...

First of a Costner Double Feature! Civilization has fallen. The last vestiges of humanity cling to their fief-like cities. Roving gangs of white supremacists abduct people from their homes and steal their resources. No, this isn't your daily news feed, it's the "far flung future" of 2013 in Kevin Costner's post-apocalyptic epic: The Postman. Hey, he was only off by a few years. The real question i...

May the Fourth be with you. (And also with you.) Lift up your horns. (We lift them up to the Force.) Yes, it's Star Wars Day. Frank and Matt have lost all sense of copyright reason and have treated us all to a packed episode all about one of the greats. Throw your over-the-ear headphones, pour a glass of wine, and revel in the leitmotifs. It's the music of the Star Wars Saga this week on N...

WE PROMISE WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP TO A SCHEDULE. Delaying for a few days on this occasion warranted a slight delay. Are you excited? 'cause we are.

" It was just a colour—but not any color of our earth or heavens. And because Ammi recognized that color, and knew that this last faint remnant must still lurk down there in the well, he has never been quite right since." Picture this. It's early March 2020. The boys have gathered in Austin, Texas to celebrate Peter's imminent wedding. There is booze. There are tacos. There are B...

The Rocketeer is a 1991 American superhero film from Walt Disney Pictures.

It is based on the character of the same name created by comic book artist and writer Dave Stevens. Set in 1938 Los Angeles, California, The Rocketeer tells the story of stunt pilot Cliff Seco...

The year is 2027. Cyborgs roam the streets of the America/Japan Corporate Union. The Red Army Hammerheads, a cyborg separatist group plans... a murder of some kind? And only Alex Rain, who is also a cyborg, but not as much of a cyborg as the other ones, is the only man/83% cyborg, who can stop... the cyborgs, who we think might be 100% cyborg, but that would make them robots. We can't be sure, but...

Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a 2011 period mystery action film and a sequel to the 2009 film Sherlock Holmes. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law reprise their roles as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, respectively, alongside Noomi Rapace as Madame Simza "Sim" Heron, Jared Harris as Professor Moriarty, Stephen Fry as Mycroft Holmes, Kelly Reilly as Mary Morstan, Eddie Marsan as I...

Happy New Year! This time, the boys have honored a resolution to, once again, inflict movies on their co-hosts. Matt's weapon of choice is the often maligned video game adaptation and production mess that is the 1999 Wing Commander film. Stick around long enough and you might find out why pilgrim is a dirty word and learn to believe that our conversation never existed.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas faces an impossible journey when he is left stranded in the desert, thousands of miles from home, with no money and only a few days left until Christmas. Join the boys at NFG as we wrap up our final holiday present of the year - 1998's "I'll Be Home For Christmas". One of the most scrolled-over movies on Disney+.

It's the most wonderful time of the year again, and as tradition dictates, we find the NFG crew gathered around the fire, trimming the tree, sipping cocoa, and discussing the darkest Christmas movie since "One Magic Christmas". Unlike "One Magic Christmas", "The Holdovers" does not feature gunfire, and is actually really really really good. Join us on our jolly jaunt back to the 2nd hand smoke fil...
