Verging on Greatness

Halloween double feature?! It doesn't get any more season appropriate than that. Well, maybe if Elvira was narrating it but I digress. Two films, one more widely know than the other and both equally scary...Well one is just a lot more fun and the other induces vomiting from motion sickness...Which is scary. This Halloween Craig and Mike dive into the The Blair Witch Project and The Blob remake fro...

In 2003 Sofia Coppola did what no one had managed to do before. Make you believe that Scarlett Johansson could fall for Bill Murray. That's the magic of Hollywood I guess. Join Mike and Craig as they discuss this Oscar winning classic(?).

Is the 1999 winner for best picture deserved of any of the praise it gets? Does Gwyneth deserve the Oscar for best Actress? Will the Finnes brothers make more films where they steal Colin Firths love interest? One can only hope.

What do you get when you make a stereotypical sports film but instead of sports you have competitive collegiate acapella and you cast it with the most charming actress on the planet Anna Kendrick? This. Sit down, kick back, fall into key and find your beat with Craig and Mike as they find away to kick it into the chorus. Or something. Honestly I couldn't sing a note in key to save my life.

Craig and Mike with special guest and self proclaimed HNiC (Head Nerd in Charge)Kieran discuss 2009's The Watchmen. We had a good time and we hope you will too.

Based on the novel of the same name and totally not the cult classic BattleRoyale, Craig and Mike discuss the 2012 smash hit the Hunger Games.

Craig and Mike offer their opinions on the 2011 Oscar winning film The Help. Maybe they wind up eating a little sweet pie. Maybe they don't who knows?! Like and subscribe, also don't forget to tell us what you'd like to hear us talk about.

Sometimes the films wallow some times they soar and we just want and excuse to talk about great films. This was one of those times. On a side note, not being first hand familiar with New York city till just recently I really appreciate how tight the geography of this movie is and that only makes me like it more.

Have you ever stopped and asked yourself; What if the Avengers were set in a steam punk Victorian England with Sean Connery kicking all kinds of arse? Well we did so we watching The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. You're welcome.

Mike and Craig lay down their first ever MiniPod and it's a little bit of a departure from their tried and tested format. Craig has managed, for the first time ever to watch all the Best Picture nominated films before the big night and Mike hasn't watch a single one...This aught to be good. Right at the top some corrections and apologies. Craig name drops Ice-T when he is talking about the NWA bio...

Mike and Craig are back and once more after a little hiatus post Christmas/New Year and they have got a brand new podcast. Did you wanna know what two grown men think about Frozen? Well click play and wonder no more.

Cashing in on Christmas? Absolutely...It's Love Actually. This week Craig and Mike talk about the 2003 holiday season favorite. Did we love it? Did we start an affair with the devil in the red dress? Did we attempt to stalk Keira Knightley? Wait...what? Umm...Happy Holidays Y'All! Music by: Lee Lee Rosevere

After a small delay in releasing podcasts on account to moving, Craig and Mike are back and this time they are tackling the 1987 Mel Brooks classic SPACEBALLS! Don't wanna spoil anything for anyone but we like it...a lot. Music by: Lee Rosevere

Before he learned to kick ass all across Paris in one crazy weekend, Liam Neeson was starring in a pulp serial inspired 90's Superhero movie. Join us as Craig and Mike break down Sam Raimi's Darkman. Music by: Lee Rosevere

We're a day late but were back with a new podcast. This week Mike and Craig are discussing 2012's Pixar film, Brave. This was another of the podcasts we recorded where we had problems with the microphone (our sound engineer and co-host forgot to record using the good one) so don't blame your gear if it sounds a little weird. We're the weird ones...that probably doesn't read as well as it sounds in...

This week Craig and Mike talk about the Academy Award nominated (surprisingly) 1983 film Blue Thunder! Does soar with the eagles or fight over bread crumbs in the street? There's only 1 way to find out. Well you could watch it yourself. Sooo 2 ways

Welcome to Episode 3 of Verging on Greatness, where this week we talk about 2005's War of the Worlds. Now, word of warning. If you think the audio sounds funny, it's not you, it's us. Our audio tech managed to record the podcast with a really poor mic despite a really good Mic just sitting on the table right there. You're welcome.
