This week we are discussing "Batman Forever", which is the perfect way to kick off 2022.  Carrey, Lee Jones, Kilmer, Kidman, O'Donnell, and more fill out this star-studded cast.  This is more comic book looking than its predecessors, but a lot of fun to break down.  We discussed some of the "almost" casting decisions if anyone can turn on the bat signal, Commissioner Gordon being th...

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Batman Forever" and this week we are talking with Special FX Artist Eddie Yang.  Eddie's story is so inspirational because after falling in love with makeup effects as a kid, he knew what he wanted to do and made it happen.  Eddie was such a fan of Rick Baker after seeing "American Werewolf in London", then years later worked for him and with him and...

This week we are discussing "Meet the Fockers", the movie sequel that has Jamie laughing by just the title alone (he loves the word Fockers).  This is one sequel I owned as a previously viewed Hollywood Video special for sure because I remember every single Bernie Focker line.  We discussed the fact there is a real Focker family out there, the actors "almost" cast as Bernie, Jack being a...

Our 3rd Annual Scary Sequel Month was such a blast and we are ending it with the perfect Halloween movie, "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers.  This movie sequel had immense pressure of bringing back "The Shape" after the experiment of "Halloween III" has mixed reviews.  Halloween 4 is my favorite sequel in the franchise and Jamie's 1st watch, so we had a blast discussing it. &nbsp...

This week we are discussing "Robocop 3", which is the polar opposite of the first 2 films.  This movie is very tame because of its cartoon and toyline that was targeting kids, so this movie barely had any blood, but it was still fun to discuss.  We had a friend of the show Jerry Lou stop by with his Robocop expertise to break it all down.  We discussed the odd plot, Roboninjas, the...
