There Will Be Duds

Odds and Ends: We were on break, but now, we're thinking we're back!   Feature Film(s): In our time off, we watched the original Matrix trilogy (before it becomes more of a "saga" with the release of Resurrections shortly), which is quite the mixed bag as far as movie trilogies goes. Lots of love, lots of hate, lots of quoting going on in this one. It's a beefy one with a lot of ground t...

Odds and Ends: T.J. continues his horror homework and just finished the rest of the Nightmare on Elm Street series (as well as the documentaries "Never Sleep Again" and "Scream, Queen!"), then runs down some bullet points on the movies and just what makes them so special Feature Film: To cap off our month of terror, we talk the most horrific movie we've covered so far - "Bedeviled," a not-played o...

Feature Film: We talk about Ocul...

Odds and Ends: Covering something actually topical and relevant to the present time, we talk about the new Netflix hit, Squid Game; Brendan Dassey v. Tiger King; I guess we're sponsored by Netflix this episode, because we also cover another Netflix title, Sex Education, which naturally devolves into a topic I don't feel comfortable typing out here. Feature Film: In the first of our horror-athon fo...

Odds and Ends: Back in movie news mode, the gang talks about the casting for the new Super Mario movie, and if there's ever been any good video game movie adaptations; also, a lot of old shows and movies seem to be coming back in some shape or form, huh?

Odds and Ends: Nick's X-Files journey has taken him to the first film based on the series, so, naturally, we end up talking about the Pokemon movies instead; Daegan talks about a show called StartUp, which I guess exists and isn't the Korean Netflix show that comes up whenever I try Googling it; he also watched Birds of Prey even though T.J. told him not to, but we like talking about Ewan McGregor...

Odds and Ends: Nick continues his tour through turn-of-the-century cinema with Legally Blonde, T.J. thinks maybe not all of American Horror Story is terrible, Tommy loves Rick and Morty enough to actually do the show for once. Feature film: We take a look at the quasi-documentary "Close-Up" by Abbas Kiarostami, a super-meta look at a case where a man conned a family into thinking he was a famous f...

Odds and Ends: Paramount pushes back a lot of movies and gives all their money to the South Park guys, more studios are pulling out of same day releasing on streaming platforms, what are we, some kind of movie news squad? Feature Film: As a sort-of part 2 to last week's episode, we cover the sort-of part 2 to last week's movie, The Suicide Squad, directed by James Gunn, which is totally different...

Odds and Ends: T.J. talks Death Note in the first ever "T.J.'s Otaku Corner," Community is still good after the gas leak year you should keep watching it, Nick dips back in to the X-Files Feature Film: In the first part of our sort-of two-parter on the two movies centered around DCs "Task Force X," as our dud, we cover the 2016 "Suicide Squad," directed by David Ayer. Even in the pantheon of garba...
