In this week's episode we discuss M. Night Shyamalan's defining debacle: THE LAST AIRBENDER. It's a film that totally botches adapting the show upon which it was based on. Sure, there are certain aspects of the movie that sort of work, but let'
We talk about farts a lot in this episode. Thoughts?
What better way to celebrate our 150th episode than cover a mixed bag of a sequel whilst understaffed and mildly inebriated. That's right, it's TRON: LEGACY time, and while we found that the movie never reaches its full potential, it still does
On this episode we talk about TRON! There are discussions about whether or not this film deserves its status as a classic, what it did for CGI, Jeff Bridges' ability to inject life into even the most lifeless projects and we also go off on one
On this episode we jump into the world of ENDER'S GAME. It's a movie based off of a surprisingly dark science fiction YA novel. One of us has read the book and the others haven't. Guess who is disappointed?
This week we're closing out THE MATRIX franchise with THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS. Many a strong opinion is had on this episode and things get pretty contentious a few times, but what did you expect from an episode covering one of the most divisiv
On this episode we close out what for a long time was the Matrix trilogy with THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS. It's the only one of the three to be mixed-to-negatively received and left a bit of a stink on the franchise. Since then, the stocks of RELOAD
We may still be riding the high after watching the absolutely stellar THE MATRIX, but duty calls, so we're diving right into the sequel: THE MATRIX RELOADED. The film was arguably one of the most anticipated movies of its time, and is often sit
This week we're diving into another BIG franchise...THE MATRIX! A film that triggered the first Keanu Reeves renaissance and catapulted The Wachowskis into mainstream consciousness. We talk about this film's many technological advancements, it'
NEW MINISERIES ALERT! We're kicking off the "Simulation Theory" miniseries with the divisive Steven Spielberg-directed film: READY PLAYER ONE. It's one of our more contentious discussions and some (faint) battle lines are drawn. What are you th
We've come to the end of another miniseries, and what better way to close it out than with a movie that literally has "Conclusion" in the title. That's right, this week we're talking about the epic finale to the Baahubali franchise...BAAHUBALI
This week we talk about our first Tollywood film, BAAHUBALI: THE BEGINNING! This epic genre fusion filled with abrupt tonal shifts worked wonders on us and had us pumping our fists and waiting with bated breath for the sequel. While it's not pe
On this week's episode we talk about IRON MONKEY directed by the legendary Yuen Woo-ping. As novice martial arts film fans we were blown away by the action choreography on display in this film. Another thing most of us didn't know? Well, in kee
On this week's episode we poke two holes in a piece of cloth, call it a mask, and get right into talking about THE LEGEND OF ZORRO! It's a sequel that took seven years to see the light of day, yet seems like almost no original ideas were poured
On this episode we're talking about Martin Campbell's THE MASK OF ZORRO! It's a swashbuckler that makes us long for the way movies used to be made. These days every blockbuster feels like a two-hour slog through CGI sludge. Not so with Zorro. C
It's that time again. The Summer Movie Wager...plus half of Spring! We gather together to make our predictions for the highest grossing movies of the Summer (+Spring) movie season. A lot is at stake, as in, whoever wins gets a prize in the $30-
In this week's episode we're closing out our Robin Hood trilogy with ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES. It's been a bumpy ride with this legacy character so far...and that trend continues! We can't quite figure out if we like this one or not, but t
This week we talk about Ridley Scott's gritty take on ROBIN HOOD. This is the third historical epic Scott had directed at the time, which begs the question: How does it hold up compared to the likes of GLADIATOR and KINGDOM OF HEAVEN?Also, if
We're kicking off a new miniseries: 'Hoods from different hoods', a mini-series about vigilantes that serve the needs of oppressed peoples. Let's just say there's a good amount of taking from the rich and giving to the poor. We're kicking thing
After a little time off, we're back with one of our biggest episodes yet. David's 'Superhero Status: It's Complicated!' mini-series comes to an epic close with Zack Snyder's WATCHMEN! It's a film we feel is unfairly maligned despite most agreei
This week we close out the Eastrail 177 trilogy with the massively polarizing GLASS. We were fans of both UNBREAKABLE and SPLIT, and we knew going in that this one would be more contentious. SO...where do we stand with this one? Where do YOU st
(SPOILERS)This week we're talking about the most unexpected back-door sequel of all time...SPLIT! We think the film is great, but the end almost steals all of the buzz. What are your thoughts on this surprising sequel to UNBREAKABLE? Also,
Just in time for KNOCK AT THE CABIN we're diving into our first M. Night Shyamalan film! It's the movie that was originally perceived as a sophomore slump, but now has its place among the holy trinity of the director's filmography. It's UNBREAK
HO HO HOOOOO!! It's time for a Franchise Killer Christmas Special! Join us this week as David takes his first stab at hosting on our first Christmas movie ever, ELF. This Jon Favreau film came out of nowhere in the early 2000s to surprise us al
It's time to talk 'Kick-Ass 2', one of many disappointing sequels to comic book adaptations of the time including: 'Sin City A Dame to Kill For', '300: Rise of an Empire' and 'Red 2'..the list goes on. Does that mean we disliked it though? You'
