97: Ghost Ship (2002)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2024/11/04

The sea is a fickle mistress, and so are streaming platforms. With Desperado nowhere to be found, we turn to a previous streaming no show that's now available. This week it's 2002's "Ghost Ship" and a rant about the inevitable Event Horizon comparisons, one hell of an opener, characters that are kinda just there, a villain who raises more questions than they answer, Gabriel Byrne getting shafted and the appropriate place for Nu-Metal in movies.

96: Beetlejuice (1988)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2024/10/28

We saved the best til last this Halloween as we cover one of Ciaras all time favourites in 1988's "Beetlejuice". It's showtime for this rant about the cartoon series, not realising Beetlejuice IS the villain, not reading your damn handbook, incredible sets, a one of a kind performance, kind of janky stop motion, a seriously moany Lydia and why we'll never ever cover Ferris Bueller.Find us on Twitter: @rantsmono, Bluesky: @MonoRants, Instagram: MonoRants_The_Boys or send your own rants to

95: American Psycho (2000)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2024/10/22

You like Huey Lewis and The News? We don't really, but we love the satirical takedown of the excess of the 80's that is "American Psycho". So go get us a reservation and then settle in for a rant about not getting the film back then, not getting the controversy now, why Jean survives, the importance of fitting in (with your shitty friends) & Fantasy Vs Reality and why it really doesn't matter.

94: Troll Hunter (2010)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2024/10/14

Grab your Troll Stench and make sure you're not a Christian as we head to Norway for 2010's excellent "Troll Hunter". Scandinavian Humour is an odd beast but bear poaching is no joke in this rant about a found footage nature doc, Folksy Trolls, sneaky Metalocalypse references, one very accepting cameraperson and a grouchy employee becoming a tragic hero.

MonoRants @The Movies ·

We love a good on screen Satan here at MonoRants and we love Keanu so lets combine the two (again) as we talk 1997's "The Devil's Advocate". Join us down in the dirt with the little people for a rant about not hiding your twist, clever courtroom antics, having no sympathy for the devil but appreciating both a pale green death and a Satan who doesn't lie (but does channel George Carlin).

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2024/09/16

School's back from summer and Mono wanted to revisit his teen years with a high school alien invasion film that Ciara had never seen. This week we're looking at 1998's ridiculously fun Sci-Fi/Horror "The Faculty" and ranting about an insane school with even more insane staff, the joy of Robert Patrick running, tropey teens with a twist, a packed cast list, great pacing and our apparent shared phobia of automatically closing bleachers.

82: Children of Men (2006)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2024/04/28

We're heading to the far off future of 2027 this week with the painfully realistic 2006 classic "Children of Men". So get your Strawberry Cough and join us for a rant about fancy camerawork, subtle worldbuilding, an underrated stoner scene, being both mean and nice to Britain, giving every death weight (except Patric's) and saving all the art for no-one.Find us on Twitter: @rantsmono, Instagram: MonoRants_The_Boys or send your own rants to monorantspodcast@gmail.com

80: Equilibrium (2002)

MonoRants @The Movies ·

2024/04/15

After six weeks of moody vampires we're done with emotions and so is this weeks film. It's all about the gun kata and emotionless murder with 2002's "Equilibrium". So be sure to take your interval before you join us for a rant about getting more than we expected, kinda wasting the clerics, witches, matriarchs and religious imagery, a movie that develops with the antagonists emotions, a society bound to stagnate and where Prozium comes from.Find us on Twitter: @rantsmono,
