Talkin' TV

We've got a double hitter this weekend with two out of THREE, that's right, THREE wide releases this week! Dom is joined by Joe of Guy at the Movies to discuss Robert Eggers' third feature film "the Northman" & the Nicolas Cage starring parody "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent." First up is the Northman, an epic historical action drama film, based on the legend of Amleth, the film featu...

Alright, we've officially reached the point of no return, Season 5, Episode 6, the infamous Dorne disaster, "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken." The Martell sigil words, which seems to signify the pigheadedness of all the characters and their actions as they move towards the finale. This is the second episode written by Bryan Cogman & directed by Jeremy Podeswa, and has become very controversial in th...

It's a moment of celebration. We put up the episode a day later, but that's ok, because we're talking about the next in a long line of delayed shows because of the pandemic. Sean of Math Teacher Movies joins Dom the Movie Nerd to discuss the premiere of the long awaited sixth and final season of "Better Call Saul," the prequel/spinoff to Vince Gilligan's critically acclaimed midlife crisis drama "...

We're on for another episode of Talkin' Thrones as well as another midpoint, Season 5, Episode 5, entitled "Kill the Boy." The title being a reference to Maester Aemon giving Jon his last bit of advice to kill the symbolic boy and become the man, essentially yet another way of describing Jon's growth and maturity from embittered bastard to leader of men. The theme of maturity seems to be a prevale...

It was a jam packed weekend for movies, with Dom watching not one, but two movies this weekend, both returning films from his favorite directors, Michael Bay's Ambulance and the Daniels' Everything Everywhere All at Once! Dom is joined by Luk Reviews to finish off their Bayhem video they did on Thursday to talk about Michael Bay's new film, which stars Jake Gyllenhaal , Yahya Abdul-Mateen II , and...

We've reached the point of no return with this week's episode, Season 5, Episode 4 entitled "Sons of the Harpy." This is the episode where a lot of stupid stuff happens with little to no return, because unlike last week's episode where the story was actually pretty engaging despite the lack of payoff, here we're provided with stupid moment after stupid moment with little in-between to tie it all t...

We've got the next big superhero movie to review (Christ, we're really getting one of these a month now), and who do we have? Morbius. The Living Vampire. The next movie from the Sony Spider-verse, who's previous entries include Venom & Venom: Let There be Carnage, Morbius is a 2022 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics character Morbius, the Living Vampire , produced by Columbia...

We're at the point of the show where Dom's problems really start to show with Season 5, Episode 3 "High Sparrow." As the title suggests, this episode is the introduction of the titular High Sparrow, the leader of the religious fanatical group known as the sparrows makes his appearance portrayed by Jonathan Pryce. The High Sparrow represents a very confusing element that comes to play in the later...

We've got another video game adaptation to hit, this time centering around the long awaited adaptation of the very popular series, "Halo." An American military science fiction television series developed by Kyle Killen and Steven Kane for the streaming service Paramount+ , based on the video game franchise of the same name . It is produced by Amblin Television , 343 Industries , Showtime Networks...

We're into the final run of the show with Season 5 Episode 2, "The House of Black & White." This is what I like to call the plot episode, in that this is an episode where a WHOLE lot of plot happens. We get a lot of characters arriving at their new destinations they set out for, characters in transtit, characters starting out new journeys. Dom breaks down even more where they're deviating from the...

Oh man, people, we've crossed the Rubicon. We're officially at the point where Game of Thrones transitions from being great to just...meh. Season 5 is such an interesting conundrum, because some of the best, most awesome moments of the entire show happen this season. The Dragonpit attack, Shireen's tragic death, Davos' speech to Jon, and of course, the real turning point of the show, Hardhome. It...

Well, yet another example of Talkin' TV's seamless ability to pivot last minute, because we were going to do Pixar's Turning Red this episode, and then promptly decided against it once we actually watched it. So instead, Dom & Chris tackle Ben Stiller's brand new Apple TV+ show that is slowly winning the internet over one twitter account at a time, Severance! An American science fiction psychologi...

We've reached the end of another season of Game of Thrones, and if you ask Dom, the point where Game of Thrones officially drops off in quality. Season 4, Episode 10, entitled "The Children" is the end of a lot of our major character's arcs and also really a major ending point for a lot of the storylines we've been following for the last four seasons. Despite the Red Wedding occurring at the end o...

Dom & Chris are joined by Matt of Basic Entertainment to break down, discuss and review every element of Matt Reeves' brand new "The Batman" which was just released in theaters this past weekend. The film follows Robert Pattinson's brand new take on the character of Batman as he finds himself in his second year of crime fighting teaming up with Commissioner Jim Gordon to find the Riddler, who is e...

It's another much anticipated battle episode as we cover the penultimate episode of Season 4, arguably one of the best episodes of the entire series, "the Watchers on the Wall." Directed by Neill Marshall, who also directed Season 2's Battle of Blackwater, this episode covers the battle for the Wall between the Night's Watch and Mance Rayder's wildling army. Dom & Pat break down this episode,...

It's our reaction to the much anticipated Season 2 finale of HBO's hit show Euphoria! After a 2 year wait since the first season finale, Euphoria debuted a month ago to gangbuster numbers and caught us up on everything going on with Rue, Jules, Fezco, Nate, Cassie, Lexi, Maddie, Kat & the rest of the gang! It's been a crazy season, and some shit is definitely about to go down after Lexi's cont...

We're almost done with Season 4, and we begin the wrap-up phase, with Season 4, Episode 8, "The Mountain & the Viper." We obviously talk a ton about the titular fight between Prince Oberyn Martell and Gregor "The Mountain" Clegane, with Benioff & Weiss delivering yet again another one of Martin's classis pulling the rug out from under your feet moments, with Prince Oberyn literally winning...

We return after a brief hiatus for the superbowl with the latest Amazon animated show, The Legend of Vox Machina! An American adult animated fantasy streaming television series produced by Critical Role Productions, Titmouse, Inc., and Amazon Studios, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on January 28, 2022. It is based on campaign one of the Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical Role. The serie...

We're in the back half of Season 4, and boy is this season rear loaded as we cover season 4, episode 7, entitled "Mockingbird" after Littlefinger's house sigil. We always get at least one of these episodes per season, where the episode is primarily set up, but Benioff & Weiss pull out all the stops to give us scene after scene of incredible writing and insanely captivating character moments. Tyrio...

We're past the halfway point of Season 4, which means we're into gangbuster territory. I'd make the argument here that the back half of Season 4 might be the best and most important stretch of this entire show, and we're kicking it off with "The Laws of Gods & Men," or as its better known as, Tyrion's trial. It's another season 4 episode written by Bryan Cogman, as well as another one that fea...

Well, in case it wasn't already made aware of, we hit 400 subscribers! It was a goal we'd been attempting to hit last year, and we did it! So now, we're presenting it to you guys in audio format as well! We've got some important announcements to make here as well, so you guys are not going to want to miss this! Be sure to also check out the full video on the Youtube as well, and be sure to keep tu...

We're at yet another midpoint, and just given the amount of gangbusters stuff on the horizon, there had to be a lukewarm episode somewhere. Still a great episode, but "First of his Name" definitely wraps up a lot of stuff that we knew was coming before prepping us for the final six episodes. Cersei is making moves in King's Landing with Margaery, Tywin & Oberyn. Daenerys makes a decision conce...

We're at the end of January, which means we had one last top 10 list to go, and this time, it's Top 10 Best Movies of 2021! As you guys can probably guess, just given the caliber of movies we had to work with, this was a difficult list to come by. Also unlike last year, we didn't have to many similar entries, but if anything it just made it more fun. Chris & Dom each break down their top 10 fa...

A smaller, more intimate set up episode, but an incredible one to say the least. Bryan Cogman returns to write the episode that definitely set the precedent for deviating the most from the books as far as character motivations go. Daenerys takes over Meereen with a cool maneuver from Grey Worm. Jon arranges to take a party north of the wall to kill the Night's Watch mutineers at Craster's, who als...

Alright guys, it's our end of the year January hall. We did worst movies, and today we're breaking down our favorite TV shows of the year. It was a terrible year for movies, but a monumental one for television. We got some incredible genre fair, brilliant comedy, jaw dropping new stories that have really been missing from the big screen lately. Television has truly become the new place to watch gr...
