We're at the finish line of Moore Moore Moore! We close it all out with Demi in her most baddass as Lieutenant Jordan O'Neill in GI Jane from Director Ridley Scott. Along for this tour of duty is a slew of 1990s character actors doing what they do best. From the likes of Morris Chestnut, Scott Wilson, David Vadim, Kevin Gage, and legend Anne Bancroft as Senator Lillian DeHaven. But it's Demi's antagonistic foil Master Chief Urgayle is pre-Aragorn Viggo Mortenson that makes the strongest stand of

We're BACK with MOORE, MOORE, MOORE!!! with Movie #2 DISCLOSURE! Demi Moore continues her reign of owning the 1990s with a powerhouse performance from her as Meredith Johnson stepping into a company and becoming former lover Michael Douglas' boss, nabbing a job her was expecting to get.

Karate in the Garage ·

2024/01/12

This episode was recorded back in early March 2022 before Freddy headed to Atlanta for One Fast Move. We've got 2001's Josie and the Pussycats starring Rachel Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson, and Tara Reid as the rockin' trio just waiting for their big break while playing huge gigs like the local bowling alley. Along for the ride, and playing their nastiness to the hilt, are Parker Posey and Alan Cumming as the record executives that pluck the girls from Riverdale obscurity and "help" them become pop

2024/01/08

We're 8 days into this new year, and we still can't wrap our heads around that it's 2023. But, here we are. Last week, we dropped 1991's Mortal Thoughts to kick off our Moore, Moore, Moore!!! theme, and the consensus is we picked a movie a lot of people hadn't seen yet. That's as exciting as anything when we turn people onto something they hadn't seen before. #2 will drop on Patreon via Early Access on Tuesday, and Friday for the general public release. Those of you new to us via Spotify, welcome

2024/01/05

Hey, all. It’s 2024’s bloom. It’s January. But unlike last year’s January Dumping Ground theme, we have what some would call the Queen of the 90s. Demi Moore. All month long. It’s Moore Moore Moore! Movie #1, in what maybe one of boldest film choices after blowing up with Ghost the year before, we have Mortal Thoughts. Along with Demi, Glenne Headley, Bruce Willis, John Pankow, with Harvey Keitel as Detective John Woods. From IMDB: Two detectives interrogate a hairdresser on two homicides she may or

We're closing out Failed Franchises for 2023 with the movie that shook the tree and told Freddy "this would make a great theme", and, boy, has it ever! We have Stephen Sommer's 2004 return to the Universal Monsters after dropping two hits in The Mummy and The Mummy Returns, Van Helsing. Hugh Jackman and Kate Beckinsale are the fearless vampire hunters, but bring along a great cast in the hunting that aren't just human...

Today, we have the 3rd Failed Franchise movie, and this one was supposed to do what Iron Man did for Marvel. But, it didn't quite get DC and Warner Brothers to the promised land. It's Green Lantern with Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Peter Sarsgaard, Mark Strong, and Tim Robbins. FROM IMDB: Reckless test pilot Hal Jordan is granted an alien ring that bestows him with otherworldly powers that inducts him into an intergalactic police force, the Green Lantern Corps. ENJOY! YES.

304. DREDD (2012)

Karate in the Garage ·

2023/12/08

Movie #2 for Failed Franchise Month, and we're 2 for 2: DREDD. IS. THE. LAW. In 2012, Judge Dredd returned to the big screen in the form of Karl Ubran as Dredd. But this time, it's done RIGHT. Incredibly loyal to the source material by filmmakers that grew up with the comics. And the love they give to it is PERFECT. Along with Urban, Olivia Thirlby and Lena Headley complete the main cast bringing to life these characters from an Alex Garland script. From IMDB: In a violent, futuristic city where the
