Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2025/10/24

As marketing ramped up for Jurassic World Rebirth, there were multiple questions about just what the hell this film was going to be. There was no Colin Trevorrow, no Chris Pratt, and no Bryce Dallas Howard. Instead, we had Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and, much to Adam’s chagrin, director Gareth Edwards (2014’s Godzilla). So, what exactly were we in for?That’s what we’re here to discuss. With theatrical stories to tell, the guys come in and talk about what their expectations for Rebirth

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2025/10/10

After Jurassic World came out and was a massive success in 2015, Universal knew that once again dinosaurs were proven commodities. So, they came up with ways to once again bring them back. With World director Colin Trevorrow in the press saying he and his writing partner Derek Connelly had ideas for three total films, there were reasons to be excited. Especially if you were a Jurassic fan.So, they hired director JA Bayona (A Monster Calls) to once again bring emotion to the series. And Bryce

Ballerina: From the World of John Wick (2025)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2025/09/26

And then there was one. Here is our long built up review of Ballerina: From The World of John Wick. Starring Ana DeArmas and directed by Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard) it would seem the franchise was going to be sent to other hands for its first of at least a few planned spinoffs.However, that was not to be. Rumored bad dailies caused producers to get cold feet with their oncoming director and unproven female action star. So, they called in the cavalry. Enter Chad Stahelski, Keanu Reeves, and

John Wick Chapter 3: Parabellum (2019)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2025/09/12

By the time 2019 rolled around, John Wick was a full fledged franchise. And despite its star being in his 50s, Keanu Reeves was still showing up, and still kicking ass in two previous movies which were massive hits. But Garrett wasn’t a huge fan of last week’s film. Could John Wick Chapter 3 Parabellum win him back?Join him as well as Matt and Adam on the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as they let their thoughts on John Wick 3 be known. Does Halle Barry win them over? How about the desert

John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2025/09/05

Fresh off the surprise success of 2014’s John Wick, Summit Entertainment knew they had a hit on their hands. Better yet, they knew they had the beginning of what looked like a fruitful franchise. So they tried gathering the band back together again in hopes of continued financial achievement.But while star Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski, as well as writer Derek Kolstad were quickly onboard for the sequel, co-director David Leitch had other plans. More opportunities arose as the result of

John Wick (2014)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2025/08/29

Much to Matt’s delight, it’s to start diving into the neon colored world of John Wick. A movie that for all intents and purposes, (an unproven set of directors, a star who had done a string of bombs, a ‘wrote’ script) had no business being a hit. But $86 million in box office revenue later, Summit Entertainment had a bona fide hit. And franchise.Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they start their dive into the John Wick franchise, as well as give their anticipatory thoughts on Ballerina, the movie

Superman (2025)

2025/08/22

To say Garrett was hesitant to watch one of his least favorite directors take on his most favorite comic book character in a feature film would be an understatement. But, that’s exactly what he did, and here is the result of how he felt after he and his co-hosts finally watched the long awaited reboot of the Superman franchise.Matt and Adam come in with a nonchalant attitude towards the character, but love for at least one of James Gunn’s other films.

Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning (2025)

Here it is, the end of two full months of watching Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt barrel their way through on impossible mission after another. All until they reach number eight, with a battle against The Entity. And Gabriel.This is over two and a half hours of the craziest review we’ve done in a long time.

Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 (2023)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2025/08/01

After the success and apparent finality of 2018’s Mission Impossible Fallout, it would seem that Tom Cruise and company could have moved on to other ventures. But the ‘success’ part will almost always cause filmmakers to come up with another story and keep going. But returning writer/director didn’t just come up with a one movie story. He came up with a two parter. Two near three hour films made to finally say goodbye to one of the most successful franchises of all time.Here, the podcasters review

Mission Impossible 3 (2006)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2025/07/12

In 2000, star Tim Cruise was in top of the world. By 2006, he had a bit of a PR problem. Though his previous film War of the Worlds was a certified hit, his off the screen presence was becoming more and more of a problem. Some people would say toxic. Getting in arguments played out in public with Brooke Shields’s about the need to do away with prescribed drugs. To marrying a woman who was twenty years his junior. And of course jumping on talk show couches proclaiming his love for said woman

Firestarter (2022)

By 2022, Stephen King adaptations were five years into a renaissance that began with 2017’s adaptation of It. And after his successful Halloween legacy series began with a bang with 2018’s Halloween, producer Jason Blum also wanted to get in on the act of adapting King. So he hired Zac Effron and director Keith Thomas (The Vigil) to once again bring King’s Firestarter to the screen.Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they look at the 2022 version of King’s 1980 novel that was generally panned by

Firestarter (1984)

After E.T., Drew Barrymore could have done anything. Turns out that producer Dino de Laurentiis was about to scoop her up to be in two adaptations of author Stephen King’s work. The second, Cat’s Eye, is one we already covered way back at the beginning of Night Shift. But the first was Firestarter, King’s borderline science fiction novel about a girl who sets fires with her mind.Join the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as they review Commando director Mark L Lester’s 1984 adaptation of

The Dead Zone (1983)

2025/05/09

1983 was quite the year for fans of author Stephen King. That was the year they didn’t get one, or even two King adaptations for the screen. They got three. These consisted of The Dead Zone, Cujo, and Christine. The other two will get their just due on this podcast down the road. But today, we review The Dead Zone. A film touted as the teaming up of schlock director David Cronenberg (he wouldn’t make The Fly until three years later) and horror writer Stephen King. To top it off, Cronenberg tapped

Argylle (2024)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2025/04/25

In 2024, armed with a script by Jason Fuchs (Ice Age Continental Drift and Pan), director Matthew Vaughn released Argylle. Denounced by critics and audiences alike, the $200 million film didn’t even gross half its budget back. Yet, the film has enjoyed a healthy presence on streaming, meaning there is a good chance Vaughn may get his wish and continue on with the Kingsman franchise. Which, this is only attached to because of its end credits scene. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be reviewing it.Join Matt,

Kingsman: The Golden Circle (2017)

2025/04/11

Two years after setting the box office ablaze with Kingsman The Secret Service, director Matthew Vaughn was back with Kingsman The Golden Circle. This time, he had a couple more Oscar winners (Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore) cast, as well as a certain flamboyant singer. So given he had everything he wanted at his disposal this time, it would seem Vaughn had successfully made his ‘Empire Strikes Back’.Or did he?

Man-Thing (2005)

2025/03/08

As the boys continue tredging through their Miscellaneous Marvel characters, this week they have run into a doozy. Man Thing is a character who hung out with Howard The Duck in the comics. But other than that, there’s not much identification with him apart from being a side show character made up right around the time DC’s Swamp Thing made its first appearance.So who better to bring it to the screen other than the one man who was sued by Children of the Corn’s creator Stephen King.

Lethal Weapon 4 (1998)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2025/02/07

By the time 1998 rolled around, everyone involved in the Lethal Weapon franchise were on to other things. Most notably star Mel Gibson, whose directorial effort Braveheart had won multiple Oscars three years before. You’d think it would have taken an almost perfect script to reunite everyone for a fourth and final(?) installment of the bread and butter franchise that set up their careers. I said, you’d THINK the script would have to be perfect. Welllll……Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they review

After Lethal Weapon 2 came out and became the third highest grossing film of that year, producers wanted more. So Jeffrey Boam, along with his buddy Robert Mark Kamen (The Karate Kid) once again churned out a script, director Richard Donner came aboard, and everything was one big happy shoot! Of course, this isn’t the whole story. So download the show below to find out how Lethal Weapon 3 REALLY happened. Plus, what does Princess Leia have to do with it?
