Episode 253 - We Talk About Fight Club

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2023/02/13

This week we watch your Dad’s favorite movie. Back before the Internet let us talk to our favorite introverts, conspiracy theorists and secessionists, men watched movies about men doing manly things with other men in a man’s world… but Fight Club was a splash of cold water that said, “Wake up - you’re living a lie.” This week we dig into why this film still works, why it was ahead of its time in some of the worst ways, and some of the odder theories behind what this film really means. 0:00 -

Episode 252 - The Boys: Season 3 Recap (SPOILERS)

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2023/02/06

From the Better Late Than Never File comes our look back at Season 3 of the greatest show on television, The Boys! It may have taken 6 months for all of us to finally watch it, but so what? We've got jobs and stuff, ya losers! What matters is we've seen it, we loved it, and now we'll yammer on about Butcher, Homelander, Soldier Boy, and the rest of the gang in all their violent, bloody, psychologically damaged glory! It's a spot-on satire of our modern age, and we're damn well here for it. 3:40 -

Episode 251 - Digital Killed The Video Store

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2023/01/30

Do you remember Video Stores? We sure do - because we’re old as F@%$. They used to be everywhere, a ubiquitous strip mall fixture purveying all manner of niche movie titles in every genre, rented in a format known as a “videocassette” tape that you could take home and play in your VCR machine. This was back in the 80s and 90s when physical media was how we consumed our entertainment, when giant homogeneous corporations finally squeezed out the Mom ‘N Pop stores and killed all the joy in life with

Episode 250 - Marvel Phase 4

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2023/01/23

Excelsior, bitches! Recently, Eric tried to binge-watch ALL of Marvel Phase 4 - a 2-year chunk of movies and TV shows. Then, to make it seem like there was a reason for this insanity, he pitched it as a show. We go through all 50 hours & 21 minutes of it - in an episode that, as we recorded it, felt only slightly longer. 0:00 - Intros 8:56 - WandaVision (2021) 12:10 - The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021) 15:30 - Loki season 1 (2021) 19:05 - Black Widow (2021) 21:50 - What If...?

Episode 249 - Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2023/01/16

Daniel Craig’s now-iconic movie detective Benoit Blanc is back in the latest mystery bonbon from writer-director Rian Johnson, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. This one, as you may have deduced from the title, is the sequel to 2019’s equally fun deconstruction of classic whodunits, Knives Out. Again stacked with an impeccable cast, Johnson’s latest is another razor-sharp, eat-the-rich satire cocooned inside an affectionate homage to the likes of Agatha Christie. Or the board game Clue. Or

Episode 248 - One More Freshitstravaganza

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2023/01/09

It’s that time of year again, where we take a long amount of time off and let things slide. That means we have a LOT of new stuff to talk about! Movies, TV shows, concerts, plays… we did a lot of stuff in the last weeks of 2022, and it’s time to dish.

Episode 247 - The Muppet Christmas Carol

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2022/12/12

What could possibly make the perennial Charles Dickens holiday classic, “A Christmas Carol,” even better? Why, add The Muppets, of course! And it’s right there in the friggin’ title! We end 2022 with a Bah Humbug look at “The Muppet Christmas Carol” turning 30 - a true banger starring Michael Caine as Ebenezer Scrooge, along with your favorite Muppets to bring some festive cheer. We call it “The most accessible version of A Christmas Carol ever made!” Damning praise indeed! Plus, we’ve got a bunch

Episode 246 - A Christmas Story 2 Christmas Story...

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2022/12/05

The 1983 classic “A Christmas Story” was the perfect encapsulation of what Christmas should be all about. That’s why it’s a classic. Is this week’s show about that? Well, that would have been nice and easy. But there’s just one thing you see, Mag Huge never ever do nothing nice and easy - we always do it nice and rough. So instead, we cover the two competing sequels to a movie that was so charming, it shouldn’t have a sequel at all...much less two. But if you think about it, two movies made to cash

Episode 245 - Obligatory Top 3 Coen Brothers Show Any film nerd worth their salt has at least a few favorites in the Coen Brothers’ oeuvre… And since we’re all definitely nerds, we thought we’d stack our personal Top 3’s against each other and see what happens. Join us shall we, for our fully obligatory, totally arbitrary whittling down of the entire Coen Brothers filmography, stinkers included! We definitely agree on one clear favorite above all others, and it may shock you! As The Dude would

Episode 244 - Nope In his continuing bid to be just like M. Night Shyamalan but better, we have “Nope,” Jordan Peele’s latest horror-thriller film. We break it down this week - What is this film really about? Is it about anything? Why is it called, “Nope” really? Why isn’t Michael Wincott in more movies? And more. Probably. Plus our usual collection of what we’ve enjoyed this week that so many of you clamor for because you can’t figure out what to watch on Netfilx. You’re welcome. So come along,

Episode 243 - Constantine

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2022/11/14

In 2005 we were in the afterglow of the first 2 Spider-Man movies, Blade, and The Matrix. Even the X-Men movies were still good. Just before Batman began again and Marvel stomped all over everything, we got Constantine - a little nugget of what comic based movies might have been, until they weren’t. This week the Mag Huge crew revisits this under-the-radar film that will apparently be getting a sequel some day. | 0:00 - Intros | 5:17 - Black Adam (2022) | 6:00 - Oklahoma! (2019 revival,

Episdoe 242 - Weird: The Al Yankovic Story

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2022/11/07

Oh my little hungry ones, it’s time to make a mountain out of a molehill! This week the new Weird Al movie showed up on Roku, and gave us an excuse to get nerdy in the extreme about the man himself. So wind up your radios and enjoy a totally true podcast about an even more TOTALLY TRUE BIOPIC about the greatest performer who ever made up words to other people’s songs that already existed.

Episode 241 - Stephen King At The Movies

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2022/10/24

Stephen King has written over 60 books and countless short stories over 50 years. He's essentially his own genre - a blend of horror, supernatural, thriller and human drama - that is, let's be honest, a mixed bag. And don't get us started on all the movies - from the highs of The Shining to the lows of Lawnmower Man, and everything in between. Or maybe do get us started, because we have opinions. Scary ones… | 0:00 - Intros | 8:00 - Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Japanese Breakfast, The Linda Lindas (live) |

Episode 240 - Ghosts And Psychos

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2022/10/17

Which do you find scarier: A phantom from beyond our mortal coil that came to drag you to hell, or a guy with a knife who you might work with and thinks your skin would make a nice hat? The fact that there’s (likely) no hell but there are definitely knives could make you think this is an easy choice. But it’s not up to you, it’s up to how scrunched up your butt hole gets when they bring on the scary. This week, we’re Halloweening with ghost and psycho movies. | 0:00 - Intros | 6:35 - House of the

Episode 239 - MacGuffins

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2022/10/02

Eric’s screenwriting professor used to tell him, “the story all comes out of the characters you create.” Okay, yes, but… if they don’t have anything to do, they’re just a bunch of people standing around talking. The MacGuffin is a plot device that makes people do things in a story. It may force characters to show you parts of themselves you wouldn’t normally see, because it introduces stress, or obsession, or a reason for being. This week we discuss some of the Big MacGuffins in film history, and

Episode 238 - Vibes

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2022/09/26

For one brief shining moment in 1988, the notion that Cyndi Lauper would be the next big pop star to become a movie star was real. Noted 80’s hack screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandell created the ultimate star vehicle for her in the form of Vibes, a movie that Dan Ackroyd turned down. Think about that for a minute. Think about what Dan Ackroyd was doing in that time frame, and realize that he had no taste whatsoever. Anyway, Vibes is better than what he was doing. Also Jeff Goldblum! |

Episode 237 - Improbable Movie Franchises

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2022/09/18

Think of a popular movie series (ie, “film franchise”) - loosely, a film and its sequels totaling 3+ entries - and, based on the very first one in said series/franchise, ask yourself a question: Did that movie warrant a big, fat franchise (ie, “series”)? Obviously, if there is money to be made, a studio will make it. But as much as you like the first Back to the Future, let’s be real, those sequels are kind of pointless. Or, to paraphrase Jurassic Park (another now-endless, pointless franchise,

2022/09/12

What’s the best way to start an introduction to the British alt-rock band Radiohead? Talk about how weird they can get? Their rabid fan base? What critical darlings they are? Yes, and in that order! Which is what I just did! Yay me!

Episode 235 - Phil Tippett Is A Mad God

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2022/08/28

Legendary animator Phil Tippett apparently has too much time on his hands. He’s got nothing to do and all day to do it. He’s got nowhere to go and all night to get there. After watching his long-in-development home movie Mad God, we wonder not if he’s crazy. We wonder if he’s sane at all. We watched Mad God, and honestly - it’s hard to believe such a calamity. | 0:00 - Intros | 3:05 - The Boys (Season 3) | 7:47 - Modest Mouse and Franz Ferdinand | 10:20 - Grease (1978) | 19:00 - Billy Idol
