Episode 193 - The Philadelphia Story

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/08/02

Does anyone watch classic Hollywood movies anymore? Because this round we got a doozy for you… 1940’s The Philadelphia Story, starring Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewart in the glorious screwball comedy from director George Cukor. This is by far the oldest movie we’ve ever featured on the show, and while Chris and Eric both enjoy it immensely and have seen it many times, this was Brian’s first time with it. So essentially you’ll get the established dogma about an inarguable film classic

Episode 192 - Directors In Decline

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/07/26

This week we take a look at filmmakers who should probably have hung it up a long time ago. You know what we’re talking about too - remember the last time you were watching a film by someone you used to like, only to say, “What the hell is going on here? When did Tim Burton get so uninteresting and aggressively banal?” I mean, any time I see a bad film by someone who used to be worth watching, I sure think of Tim Burton. Or Clint Eastwood. Or Steven Spielberg. Or a number of (it always seems to be)

Episode 190 - House (1977)

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/07/19

Boy did we pick the wrong week to stop sniffing glue! Brian challenged the MagHuge crew to jump feet-first into a movie none of us had ever seen, and it did not disappoint. Thanks to some other trippy 70’s movies from previous podcasts the HBO Max recommendation engine suggested we watch House, a 1977 horror movie from Japanese studio Toho - best known for the Godzilla movies. What we expected was schlock. What we got was practically an art film. Check out our reactions to that. Also, Loki and Black

Episode 190 - Midnight Run

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/07/12

Join the Magnificently Huge Podcast for a look back at the semi-forgotten 80’s action-buddy-road-comedy, Midnight Run! Robert DeNiro stars in his first mainstream comedy, as a bounty hunter taking a mob accountant (Charles Grodin in a genius deadpan signature role) cross-country in a race against the Feds, the Mob and time itself! It’s an almost-classic that has not aged well, but it is still a solid piece of entertainment held together solely by the fun chemistry of the two leads. Directed by

Episode 188 - Tortoise Beats Hare

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/06/28

This round is actors who surprised us by going the career distance over the ones we expected to soar but who actually fizzled. It’s a real Tortoise Vs. Hare sitch that turned out to be way more difficult to wrap our heads around than we thought. For example, who knew the kid from Teen Wolf Too would go on to become the class-act we now know as multi-hyphenate actor/writer/producer/directorJason Bateman? We sure didn’t! We totally figured someone like Anthony Michael Hall was destined for that

Episode 187 - 30 Rocketeer

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/06/21

Strap in for some pure escapist fun, because we’re celebrating the 30th Anniversary of The Rocketeer! Based on a popular indie comic, The Rocketeer is basically Indiana Jones Meets Iron Man done as an earnest, cynicism-free homage to the 1930’s movie adventure serials of yesteryear. Put out by Disney, this was supposed to be the start of a big franchise. Sadly, it landed with a mild thud amid some very stiff competition in the summer of 1991. Which is too bad, really, because The Rocketeer is

Episode 186 - Goofy Fan Film Theories

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/06/14

For years, we’ve all found something in a movie that was incorrect - something with it’s own canon, wrong historical references, or just stuff so weird you wonder how it wound up in there in the first place. But what if these things were intentional, put there to hint at a larger universe just out of view? Fan theories work to cover mistakes by creating more interesting possibilities. Today, we share some of our favorites. | 0:00 - Intros | 5:05 - Loki (Disney+, 2021) | 12:30 - Joe Walsh |

Episode 185 - Let's Have Some Fun

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/06/03

We’ve had enough. Enough of the grim. Enough of the dark. Enough of the grimdark! There’s only so many movies about depression, stress, and violence we can tolerate. Reality is depressing enough. So this week we’re looking for some pick-me-ups. We’re talking about movies that lift the spirits. Fun, dammit! FUN! Also Cruella I guess. | 0:00 - Intros | 4:30 - Alexander (2004) | 9:00 - Cruella (2021) | 20:45 - The A Team | 29:30 - Upload (2020) | 33:30 - Happy and Fun movies! | 35:00 - Singin’

Episode 184 - Army Of The Dead

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/05/25

Zack Snyder, you got your zombie movie on my heist flick! Or did you get your heist flick on this crazy new film mashup, Army of the Dead? We’re putting a team together for a smash-and-grab spoilerific review of the 2.5-hour long zombie-heist-action-comedy romp no one asked for, from a director who is notorious for being all style, little substance. So strap in for some Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Magnificently Huge style! Because what becomes undead in Vegas apparently borrows heavily from

Episode 183 - Our Favorite Years

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/05/17

If you had a time machine, and someone else already went back in time to kill Hitler, when would you go? That’s the tortured premise we’re going with this week, as each of the boys reveals their own choice destination - based on that year’s music, movies, TV shows, video games and noteworthy disasters.

Episode 181 - Fourth Films In A Franchise

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/05/05

Episode 181 - Fourth Films in a Franchise Hey, The Magnificently Huge Podcast officially turns four years old with this one! Since the fourth time's the charm (or however the saying goes), we’ll be yukking it up about the fourth entries in some of the most (in)famous movie franchises of all time. Fourth films are seldom needed, often pointless, usually lazy, and rare is the entry that transcends the IP. It’s the good, the bad and the downright ugly for series chapters that either either helped

Episode 179 - All My 90’s Bands Are Dead

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/04/19

Hey, look! It's another music nostalgia show about death and the 90's… only fun! We revisit the soundtrack to a decade full of great songs and the artists who eventually left this earth way too soon, thereby ruining any chance of a reunion tour. Thanks, heroin! Cheers, depression! Kudos, irony! SPOILER: There were other bands besides Nirvana back then, kids. So fire up our mixtape salute to surviving the post-grunge world with a giant Gen-X shrug! Spotify:

Episode 178 - Underrated Films of the 21st Century...

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/04/13

The 21st Century has given us plenty of great films so far. Some are inarguable classics, even. But we're here today instead to talk about the more obscure gems that maybe fell through the cracks a little bit over the years. So buckle up for our unusual list of very good movies of the past 20 years that don't get the recognition we think they deserve. | 0:00 - Intros | 5:00 - Bunch Of Kunst (2017) - Sleaford Mods | 7:45 - Robot Jox (1989) | 14:25 - PAC-MAN 99 (Bandai Namco, 2021) | 17:50 -

Episode 177 - Godzilla VS Kong

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/04/05

If kaiju is wrong, we don't wanna be right. So here's our big dumb look at another big dumb movie about more big dumb monsters fighting bigly and dumbly because... reasons. Time to pick a side once and for all: Are you Team Godzilla or Team Kong?

Episode 175 - Zack Snyder’s Justice League...

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/03/24

The fans have spoken and the SnyderCut of DCEU's Justice League has finally been released! Was it worth the wait? Does it correct the terrible sins of Joss Whedon's midwifed 2017 stillbirth? Does it even matter? We sat through all 16 hours of Zack Snyder's Justice League SuperFriends Supercut to find out! #SnyderCutJusticeLeague #SnydersCut | 0:00 - Intros | 3:05 - The Courier (2021) | 6:09 - Wandavision (2021) | 15:00 - The Falcon and the Winter Soldier (2021) | 20:20 - Blithe Spirit

Ep 173 - Our Favorite Problematic Movies

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/03/08

Even some of the best movies have… well, issues. We want to talk about some of our favorite movies that have some glaring problems. From a war movie that secretly thinks war is cool, to a teen comedy about a sociopath, to a comedy classic whose cast includes the world’s most famous murderer running back. | 0:00 - Intros | 2:20 - On NOT watching Tom & Jerry (2021) | 4:00 - Get Shorty (1995) | 8:50 - Paramount+ | 12:20 - I’m Alan Partridge (1997) | 17:50 - This Is Spinal Tap (1984) | 19:30 -

Episode 172 - Music About Face

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/03/02

Sometimes it’s just being a big sell-out. Sometimes it’s being an artistic chameleon. This week the MagHuge crew discusses musicians who straight up switched genres and changed their sound completely, or simply jumped on a trend to grab some filthy lucre…for better or worse. | 0:00 - Intros & Frozen Texas Blackout | 9:00 - The Thin Red Line (Jones, 1962) | 10:00 - The Little Things (2021) | 12:50 - Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel (Netflix, 2021) | 18:30 - MacGruber (2010) |

Episode 169 - Johnny Mnemonic: The Future Was Then

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/02/01

Johnny Mnemonic is pretty dumb, but also pretty amazing. Made in 1995, this cyberpunk action romp imagines the future world of 2021 (ie, NOW) in which the internet requires an excessive amount of VR hardware and physical exertion to actually use. And that 180GB of memory is pushing the limits of file sizes. And that dolphins weaponized by the military are the ultimate hackers. And fax machines and VHS tapes are still somehow a thing. In short, it got just about everything wrong about right now -

Episode 168 - Why Do All Predator Sequels Suck?

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/01/18

Predator is a bona fide classic sci-fi actioner starring Arnold Schwarzenegger that rocks. Sadly, all of its sequels suck. Like, a LOT. They are all terrible for different reasons, of course, but terrible nonetheless. Which is weird, because other notable series have managed at least one or two good sequels (even some not involving James Cameron). But not the Predator franchise, which should have just stopped at the first one. Is this even worth exploring with a superficial analysis only

Episode 167 - Tropic Thunder

The Magnificently Huge Podcast ·

2021/01/11

This week we take a look at Ben Stiller’s other classic movie, the one that isn’t “Zoolander.” This film-within-a-war-film is a hilariously scathing look at vapid Hollywood culture and it remains one of the last completely politically incorrect films of its kind. So check your virtue signals at the door and have a great time with our talk about a comedy juggernaut - Tropic Thunder! | 0:00 - Intros | 5:00 - Geostorm (2017) | 9:15 - Doom Patrol (HBO Max) | 12:45 - The King of Staten Island
