Return of the Living Dead 1985 - The Film With Three Brains Review 113 13.07.2022

It takes a campy zombie movie to prove that true love never dies, but it sometimes comes back from the dead and tries to eat your brains! This early zombie flick helped define the genre but should it be resurrected? Feast on this!

Goodfellas 1990 - The Film With Three Brains Review 112 22.06.2022

A whole lotta Liotta, De Niro, and Pesci make Scorsese's screenplay sizzle. Does one of the best films of the 90's stand tough, or back away from The Brains' ruthless brand of review? Do we amuse you?

UHF 1989 - The Film With Three Brains Review 111 08.06.2022

Tremors 1990 - The Film With Three Brains Review 110 25.05.2022

Married to the Mob 1988 - The Film With Three Brains Review 109 16.05.2022

Big accents and even bigger hair abound in this 80's flick from Jonathan Demme. Michelle Pfeiffer wants out of the mob and the don offing her husband is just the beginning of the ensuing hijinks. Is this rare comedy from Demme a hit or does it sleep with fishes?

Ordinary People 1980 - The Film With Three Brains Review 108 29.04.2022

Rapid Fire 1992 - The Film With Three Brains Review 107 13.04.2022

Before he was The Crow, Brandon Lee single-footedly kicked the ass of each and every bad guy in this martial arts mishmash. (The inaccurately titled) Rapid Fire inadvertently explores B-movie existentialism: "If the fighting is good enough, do you even need a plot?” We know the answer. Do you?

Grave of the Fireflies 1988 - The Film With Three Brains Review 106 05.04.2022

Studio Ghibli - known for creativity and dazzling animated mythology - also created this uncomplicated tearjerker. Wars not make one great; what might it take to make a war movie great? Brainstorm with the boys on this not-so-childish cartoon.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest 1975 - The Film With Three Brains Review 105 25.03.2022

Tron 1982 - The Film With Three Brains Review 104 18.03.2022

Croupier 1998 - The Film With Three Brains Review 102 28.02.2022

Odds are you haven't seen Clive Owen's debut: a neo-noir casino crime story about a croupier with a sense of morality as random as the roulette wheel he spins. Is it worth another round? Place your bets and tune in for the answer.

The Money Pit 1986 - The Film With Three Brains Review 101 23.02.2022

Tom Hanks and Shelley Long go wrong when they buy a home for a song. Is this fixer-upper comedy still worth the time? We tear down The Money Pit in this wreck of a review.

The Man With Two Brains 1983 - The Film With Three Brains Review 099 06.02.2022

It's 6am and today we review Groundhog Day. It's 6am and today we review Groundhog Day. It's 6am and today we review Groundhog Day. It's 6am and today we review Groundhog Day.

Soggy Bottom USA 1981 - The Film With Three Brains Review E097 21.01.2022

Soggy Bottom USA might imply you’ll wet your pants watching this swampy comedy. Or, not. This moonshinin', dog-racin', country-singin', fur-tradin', boat-buildin' crime/con/love story explores the moviemaking sin of becoming so 'bogged' down with subplot, its real purpose becomes murkier than a steamin' dog fart (which is actually a highlight). Come on, y'all--hear our best review yet!

The Lost Boys 1987 - The Film With Three Brains Review E096 16.01.2022

Never grow old. Never die. But you must feed, Michael. This Peter Pan-inspired vampire flick from 1987 does the impossible - makes the 80's look cool and bloodsucking cooler. We stick our necks out to critique The Lost Boys and invite you to sink your teeth into our flesh... err, podcast.

Brewsters Millions 1985 - The Film With Three Brains Review E095 11.01.2022

Richard Pryor (after the fire) is a pitcher who can get 10x richer if he spends 30mil whilst revealing nil, leaving nothing to his name at the end of this one-month inheritance game. Is this high stakes remake worth a second take... or just a head shake?

April Fools Day 1986 - The Film With Three Brains Review E094 01.01.2022

The Friday the 13th producer made this much tamer murder mystery about a group of friends spending a scary night in an old house on an island. It begs the question: does April Fool's Day put the laughter in slaughter? Or is it just a joke?

Fitzcarraldo and Burden of Dreams 1982 - The Film With Three Brains Review E093 21.12.2021

Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo follows a man so obsessed with bringing Opera to the Amazon he enlists natives to carry a steamboat across land.

Insanity ensues, but should we look away?

Can't Hardly Wait for this episode.

9 To 5 1980 - The Film With Three Brains Review E091 20.11.2021

Dolly Parton steals scene after scene from Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin in this revenge comedy about three women getting even with their misogynistic boss. Do jokes about inequality still ring true? And does anyone really work 9 to 5 in this new economy? Punch in for the punchline.

Little Voice 1998 - The Film With Three Brains Review E090 11.11.2021

A demure mimic sounds golden to sleazy star-maker, Michael Caine when he hears the pitch-perfect imitation of her late father's favorite songbirds (Ella, Judy, Marlene, Marilyn, Shirley). Little Voice's motormouth mom, under his sugar-tongued spell, dreams of riches, romance and rescue... in no particularly order. This sleeper comedy earned more awards nominations than money but is it still worth...

Stakeout 1987 - The Film With Three Brains Review E089 07.11.2021
