This week, Amy Frost is back and bringing another of her favorite films that somehow Travis hasn't seen before. 1996's Waiting for Guffman.

Starring Jennifer Connelly and David Bowie, it's the story of Sarah and her quest through the titular Labyrinth to rescue her baby brother Toby from the Goblin King Jereth. Full of muppets, amazing sets, and a sense of wonder, how is it that life lon...

It's another first time watch for Travis, and another Coen brothers film. Ryan Estrada joins the show, and makes Travis finally watch the 1994 film, The Hudsucker Proxy. Starring Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Paul Newman. Evoking the feel of a 1940s screwball comedy, set in the 1950s, and made in the 1990s, with a look all it's own. But, how does it stack up with other Coen brothers movies...

This week, Travis is joined by Tim "JayDimes" Wilson to talk about the actual first R rated film based on a Marvel comic. The Punisher. Released in 1989 starring Dolph Lundgren as Frank Castle, and Louis Gossett Jr. as Jake Berkowitz, and based on the Marvel comics character. So, how was this as an adaptation of the comic? Does it do the character justice? Or is it just another generic 80s action...

Josh is back again this week. We had so much fun talking about the Coen brothers, we decided to go in a completely different end of the movie spectrum with 1993's Last Action Hero. Arnold Schwarzenegger was the biggest start on the planet at the time, and he stars in this movie about a boy who gets a magical movie ticket, and ends up INSIDE the movie! So, does this movie deserve the box office bom...

This week, Josh Munro, aka Joosh, is back to talk about a movie Travis hasn't seen before. It's the debut feature film from Joel and Ethan Coen, Blood Simple. The plot revolves around a man putting a contract kill out on his wife, and her lover. But when he ends up shot, things quickly get out of control.

This week, Gary Fisher (The Senior Geek) is joining the show to talk about seeing The Exorcist for the very first time. Often cited as "The Scariest Movie ever Made", it's about a young girl named Reagan who is possesed by a demon. Or is she? The doctors don't seem to think so, but her mother knows something is happening, and she looks to Father Karras for help. Starring Ellen Burstyn, Linda Blair...

This week, we are staying firmly in the 1980s with one of the seminal kids adventure movies, The Goonies. Dennis Robinson of the Botched Podcast is back because he's never seen this movie. How is that possible? Didn't everyone between the age of 35 and 45 see this movie growing up? Well, not everyone apparently. So, how does it hold up? Is it still enjoyable, or should it stay in the 80s? We also...

This week, Jay Funktastic is back to talk about the cult classic Road House. Released in 1989 starring Patrick Swayze, Kelly Lynch, and Sam Elliott, it's about the best Cooler in the business. An Western masquerading as an 80s action film, but with a lead who's as much philospher as he is fighter. So, is it a movie that lives up to the status of cult classic? Or did it deserve the 5 Razzie award n...

It's the story of a week in wine country for friends Miles (Paul Giamatti) and Jack (Thomas Haden Church) and their misadventures as they deal with mid life, finding themselves, and drinking wine. Is it too serious to b...

This week, Diddi returns to talk about the 2018 DC comics adaptation of Aquaman. Starring Jason Momoa, Amber Heard, and Patrcik Wilson. It tells the story of Arthur Curry as he becomes the hero known as Aquaman. DC films don't have the best track record. Is this the movie that breaks the mold of the DCEU, or is it an overly long slog with no real point? And is it any fun? Let's find out... Thanks...

This week, Phil Rood is back to talk about a movie he's never seen. It's 1993's Only the Strong, starring Mark Dacascos. The story of a Green Beret coming back to his old high school to find it run down, and the neighborhood overrun by drug dealers. He sets out to help some of the kids at the school by teaching them a Afro-Brazilian martial art called Capoeira. Why didn't it launch the career of M...

This week, Steve and Izzy from Everything I Learned from Movies are on the show to talk about the 1986 cult classic Cobra. Travis had never seen it before. Sylvester Stallone is Marion "Cobra" Cobretti, a LA cop who plays by his own rules. He's trying to stop the Night Slasher, and save a model in the process. Car chases, shootouts, one liners, and the most unhinged way of cutting a pizza you'll e...

It's time to explore the multiverse with Searanex . He has never seen 2022's Everything Everywhere All at Once, so we are fixing that. It won several Academy Awards, including acting for Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, and Jamie Lee Curtis. Universe hopping, elaborate fight sequences, a lot of "Wait, What?" moments, and the strangest version of "Chekov's Gun" you may ever see. So, is it worth all the...

This week, Kitlondon is back to talk about more AI. This time though, we're going back to the early 80s, and it's less about AI, and more about hacking. We watched Wargames, starring Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy. When a High School student hacks in to a government computer thinking he's just playing a game, he accidently puts in to motion events that could start World War III. So, is it just...

This week, Travis watched the 1999 Sci Fi film Bicentennial Man for the first time. Stargate Pioneer of the Legends of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Better Podcasting podcast is back to talk about it. Starring Robin Williams, Sam Neill, Embeth Davitz, and Oliver Platt; it is the story of an android over the course of his 200 year life. So, is it a slog at over 2 hours long? How does it feel to watch a movie ab...

It's episode 250! Travis is joined by Tim "JayDimes" Wilson to talk about the 1997 drama/thriller from writer and director James Mangold, Cop Land. It stars Sylvester Stallone (in a roll very unlike a lot of his movies before this), Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, and Ray Liotta. Along with a host of other faces you've seen before. NYPD Cops have created a quiet little community just over the bridg...

This week, Amy Frost is back to talk about a movie that Travis had not heard about before. It's a Disney from 1981 called Condorman. Woody is a comic book writer and artist, living in Paris with his best friend and CIA fileclerk Harry when he is recruited to do a simple document drop off. But Woody pretends to be an actual spy, and ends up over his head with Russian spies trying to defect, car cha...

This week, we're diving in to the world of 1970s thrillers with Three Days of the Condor. Josh Munro is back to talk about this one, and Travis hadn't seen it before. In fact, Neither had Josh. It's often regarded as one of the best of this era, but how does it hold up to the spy movies of recent years? Is it too dated and behind the times? Does it keep you on the edge of your seat? There's only o...

This week, Travis is chatting with Nicole from The Movie Duel Podcast. They are going all the way back to 1946 and The Best Years of Our Lives. A film about 3 men returning home from World War II to find life after the war is very different for them. Winner of 8 Academy Awards in 1947, it's a movie neither Travis nor Nicole had seen before. So, does it live up to the hype of awards and nostalgia?...

Travis is joined this week by an old friend that he hasn't gotten to chat with for too long. Paul Jaissle of I Read Comic Books podcast is here to talk about the 2012 Ridley Scott Sci-Fi Horror film, Prometheus. It has some intriguing questions to ask, and compelling visuals. But just how good is it? Does it deserve the negative reviews as not being "Alien" enough, even though it's not a direct pr...

This week, the Rock God of Podcasting himself, Charles McFall is back on the show! This time, he's brought a movie from 2007 starring Ryan Reynolds, Mellisa McCarthy, and Hope Davis called The Nines. Written and Directed by John August, it's the story of an actor, a writer, and a video game designer and how their lives intersect. But that doesn't tell the whole story. It is that, but it's also not...

Travis is joined this week by Jeannie, who has never seen any Alfred Hitchcock movie before. So, it's time to fix that and to start, they watched Rear Window (1954). So, what does a thriller from the 50s feel like when you watch it for the first time in 2023? Does it have any chance to live up to the hype surrounding it. Is Hitchcock truly the "Master of Suspense"? or does the whole thing feel fla...

This week, we dive in to a movie that Travis loves, but his guest Jonathan Bush has never seen before. 2003's Identity is a whodunit with some added seasoning. But, does it hold up after 20 years? Do the twists and turns of the story actually work? Is it a mid budget thriller with no teeth, or does it elevate itself to something a bit more rewatchable? Let's find out... Thanks go out to Audie Norm...
