Talkin' TV

As with all good things, we are at the end of blockbuster TV season. It's been quite a run, and we had a lot of fun covering everything. Dom is first joined by Dustin & Kristen to review one of the summer surprises, that being M. Night Shyamalan's latest effort, "Trap" which stars Josh Hartnett as a dad taking his daughter to a concert only to discover that the entire thing h...

It's not quite Barbenheimer, but man did we finally get an eventful weekend worthy of a summer. After a largely disappointing movie summer, we were finally gifted with the only MCU movie to grace the theaters with its prescence this summer, Deadpool & Wolverine, which finally sees the merc with the mouth teaming up with the Canadian clawed mutant in a multiverse hopping extravaganza filled...

Another week of summer, another jam packed episode! First, we wrap up and say goodbye to the Boys Season 4 with Dustin "the Duster" Mason, as we broke down an otherwise gangbusters finale coming off what I would say was an otherwise disappointing season. Then, we break down everything that happened in Episode 6 of House of the Dragon, and boy was there a lot that happened with Eli Holick...

It's been a jam packed second week of July! After a Fourth of July that was crammed full of movies, so much so that I barely had time to see them let alone podcast about them, we're finally back with some new summer movies! First, Kristen & Dom break down the two mid summer horror drops, Maxxxine from A24 & Ti West, which concludes the trilogy started back in 2022 with X & Pear...

Another banger of a summer recap episode! Coming off the Fourth of July Holiday weekend, we have new episodes of House of the Dragon & the Boys and boy, do they deliver! On the Boys side of things, we got some major reveals as the Boys attempt to infiltrate Tek Knight's mansion to find out what the supes next move in, only for ever character to get their asses handed to them, both metaphor...

Another week, another month of summer gone. As we head into July, we celebrate the end of blockbuster TV month with the return of Season 3 of one of the most beloved shows on the air right now, The Bear. Starring Jeremy Allen White, Ebon Moss-Bachrach & Ayo Edebiri, Season 3 sees the crew struggling to keep the Bear afloat, all while Carmie starts to spiral down the obsession rabbit hole. Then...

What's going on guys! We are deep into summer, and continuing with the two massive recaps for blockbuster TV summer, that being The Boys on Amazon and House of the Dragon on Max. The Boys continues with Season 4, Episode 4 "Wisdom of the Ages" while House of the Dragon just premiered its sophomore episode for Season 2, "Brothers in Arms." (32:45) Be sure to keep tuning in f...

The summer is officially here, and in the wake of absolutely nobody going to the movies this summer (I can't say I blame them) we have the return of a phenomenon I haven't seen in quite a few years, which is that of blockbuster TV! We had the return of two of the biggest shows this past week, with the Boys (00:46) on Amazon and House of the Dragon (01:49:13) on Max, as well as the return o...

It's a summer triple threat here on the Talkin' TV Podcast! Luk is back to discuss an interesting triple threat, as they all encompass where we're at as a media viewing society right now. First up is Bad Boys: Ride or Die, the fourth installment in the Bad Boys saga once again directed by Adil & Bilal who up their action filmmaking game in an effort that sees Mike (Will Smith) and...

Welp, no new movies this weekend, so I decided to try something new. As part of my creative reset, we will no longer necessarily be reviewing new movies as part of the podcast. So, to compensate this week, here is our latest part of our Actor's Hall of Fame which we do exclusively on Youtube for now, in which we break down our ten favorites of an actor's filmography and then build our comb...

Welcome back to the Wasteland everyone! And by Wasteland, I of course mean the year of 2024, because what a wasteland for content it has been so far. We return to the World of Mad Max 9 years after the last installment, with a prequel spinoff following Anya Tayor-Joy as a young Furiosa, with Chris Hemsworth as the big bad baddie Dementus, along with a host of returning players. Sounds like a recip...

We're back with the second installment in our summer 2024 series, and we're returning to another legacy franchise, but not one that we were expecting to return anytime soon. We're talking about Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, the first follow up to the Matt Reeves/Rupert Wyatt trilogy of the 2010's that followed Andy Serkis' Caesar from infant to ape savior. Now, we've f...

We're kicking off the summer with already one of the most entertaining movies of the year, The Fall Guy! The next movie from David Leitch, who's quickly proved himself as one of the up and coming action directors. This time, we've got Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt, the true merging of the Barbenheimer, in a massive action rom com romp that also seconds as the best Hollywood skewering si...

We're wrapping up the winter and spring and moving into the summer with a double feature I don't think anyone saw coming. We've got the release of Zendaya's first leading feature film with Luca Guadagnino's Challengers, a movie that was supposed to be released in September of last year, as well as the finale of Shogun, the FX/Hulu miniseries that sees political machinations in...

We're already almost done with April and we've got another double feature! Dom and Luk team back up to break down the second Henry Cavill movie of the year, this time with Guy Ritchie for his best attempt at doing Inglourious Basterds "The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare" as well as the next film from the Radio Silence duo "Abigail" about a team of kidnappers who get...

We're kicking off April and the last month of Spring before the summer kick off with a dystopic double feature! This time we've got the next film from Alex Garland & A24, "Civil War" as well as Amazon's adaptation of Fallout. Both properties see the country in the near & far future dealing with different types of dystopias, one where the president has assumed the role...

We're wrapping up March Madness with some madness of our own, that being the next installment in the Monsterverse series, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. The last time we saw these two titans, they were battling it out for dominance. Now, they've got to team up against an even bigger threat: an EVIL giant orangutan who's got his own pet giant lizard that breathes ice. And you know it&...

March is almost complete and we've got another weekend of streaming releases to talk about. First up we've got the remake of Road House, the 80's classic starring Patrick Swayze, Sam Elliott & Ben Gazzara. This time, Amazon is producing with Doug Liman starring, with Jake Gyllenhaal as the titular Dalton and a supporting cast consisting of Daniela Melchior, Jessica Williams, Lukas...

What's up everybody! Bit of a detour from the normal content chain, we've got a couple of returns this weekend! We have the return of A24 with their first big release of the year, "Love lies Bleeding" from Rose Glass, as well as the return of Invincible, the first of its last four episodes of season 2 commencing on Thursday. Love lies Bleeding stars Kristen Stewart, Katy O'Br...

The 96th Academy Awards, our movie superbowl, has just ended. Dom & Dustin "the Duster" Mason sit down to talk about everything that happened at the ceremony, the winners, the snubs, the surprises, and what to look forward to upcoming in the 2024 movie season. All of that and more covered every week here on the #talkintvpodcast

Fear is the mind killer. Dom is joined by Dontre, Eli and newcomer to the show James Rodrigues-Medina aka McLovinz to talk about the cinematic event of the year and possibly our lifetimes, Dune II: Electric Boogaloo. To say this movie is a masterpiece is an understatement, and in the year 2024, a year that is already shaping up to be pretty disappointing movie wise, we need this. Be sure to check...

We're wrapping up February and the two months of mid-winter hell with Netflix's first big contribution to the streaming content of 2024, with their live action adaptation of the beloved "Avatar: The Last Airbender." After M. Night Shyamalan barely made an effort adapting this show 14 years ago, Netflix has decided to be the next person to attempt to profit off arguably the greate...

It's an interesting weekend. Because while the third weekend of February is usually reserved for a pretty big movie, this weekend we were graced with the destined-to-be-a-meme Madame Web. So rather than devoting an hour publicizing that movie more than it deserved, we instead decided to talk about all of the recent Marvel updates, including the Fantastic Four cast update, the drama between Son...

What's up guys! This episode's a little bit later than usual for us, but we weren't going to let this opportunity pass us by! Dom is up extra early to record with Luk & Gal Balaban to talk about the 49-er's devastating loss to the KC Chiefs, but really to talk about the new trailers that we got last night. In addition to new trailers for The Fall Guy & Kingdom of the Planet...

Alright everyone. February is upon us, which means the first full month of new content. And Luk & Dom are here to kick it off with Argylle, the latest film from Matthew Vaughn, the director of Kick-Ass, X-men: First Class and the Kingsman movies. The film features an all star cast featuring Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, Samuel L. Jackson, Catherine O'Hara...
