Episode 263: Buddy Christ

2025/07/05

Could a move like Kevin Smith's Dogma (1999) be made today? With its religious themes and discussion, add to the extensive cast, it would be a challenge to re-create the ideas that Smith had over 25 years ago. Much research and thought went into creating a movie that would tests existing thoughts while trying to have a conversation on taboo topics.

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/06/14

Do all good movies require a sequel? We ask that question for two recent releases, Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025) and The Accountant 2 (2025). The original films were very enjoyable and exciting, but is there enough meat on the bone for a second trip? Why is it so hard to follow up a good film?

Episode 259: Casino

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/06/07

Some consider Casino (1995), the best collaboration between Robert DeNiro, Joe Pesci, and Martin Scorsese. Others think it just a re-hash of previously told stories. So we went back and watched it. New characters and new locations bring something different to a tale about trying to find success in a pre-defined society. But does it really change the overall impact of the story?

Episode 257: RT Challenge 0-9% | Cobra-Dome: The Revenge

Our Film Fathers ·

2025/05/22

How bad can a movie truly be? We put that theory to the test with 3 movies rated in the less than 10% approval rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Those movies: Cobra (1986), Jaws: The Revenge (1987), and Bio-Dome (1996) all have poor acting, worse writing, and plot holes galore. But they may also have some redeeming qualities to others, but listen and decide for yourself.Also Play:Cinema Chain Game--------------------------------------------Subscribe, rate, and review:Apple Podcasts: Our Film

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled...was creating a movie that stands the test of time. The Usual Suspects (1995) continues to amaze audiences, even if they understand the movie.

Coming of age stories are universal, but its always fun to see how the same director can re-imaging the idea, as Rick Famuyiwa does first with The Wood (1999) and then again in Dope (2015).
