Nothing screams Thanksgiving quite like this title. Listen in as we continue on our "journey" to review all the Children of the Corn entries to close out this chapter of Stephen King. Will this "final sacrifice" be what Adam wants to occur during this show? Or will be press on like a good soldier to block out the pain?

Children of the Corn (1984)

What better way to bring in Thanksgiving, a holiday full of eating food, laughing with relatives, and watching football, than with beginning our series that’s going to close our look at Stephen King’s Night Shift Collection. That’s the good news. The bad news, is Children of the Corn is a series that contains 11 movies!Here, we start from the beginning, 1984’s original Linda Hamilton starring original film. King himself wrote a treatment that got discarded because one, he didn’t have nearly as

Joker: Folie a Deux (2024)

2024/11/15

Whether you like the film or not, it can definitely be argued that 2019’s Joker was a full story. In fact, when they reviewed it two years ago, The Three Men A Retrospective Podcast said just as much. However, by the end of that year, we had gotten word that Todd Phillips and company were working on a sequel.So given the first film grossed over $1 billion, they had their green light. With Lady GaGa signing on, they had their Harlie Quinn. And with the announcement that the film was a musical, they

Alien: Romulus (2024)

It’s finally here. After months of start stops, with interruptions of Beetlejuice and some vampires re-invading Salem’s Lot, we have finally come to the review the Alien retrospective was designed to end with. Welcome, to the Three Men and a Retrospective’s review of director Fede Alvarez’s Alien Romulus.Listen in as the boys discuss their theatrical experiences, and then dive right in to a film that was seven years in the making.

Salem’s Lot (2024)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2024/11/01

A little over two years ago, the boys reviewed three Salems Lot adaptations thinking they were leading up to a new version of it produced by James Wan. Well, they did get it, they just had to wait over two years.Welcome to the review over two years in the making. With Garrett the huge fan of the novel and, to a lesser extent, the two miniseries, was he looking forward to this new one directed by Paul Dauberman? And will the new aesthetic help Adam and Matt give their endorsement of a series they

Beetlejuice (1988)

Before moving on with the Alien franchise, the boys decided to take a little detour into a world that not only beautifully sets the Halloween table, but also miraculously has a new film 35 years after the original! That’s right, it’s time for the Three Men and a Retrospective Beetlejuice retrospective!Before getting to the new one, we have to talk about the Tim Burton 1988 original.

Alien: Resurrection (1997)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2024/09/27

After the hellacious shoot that was Alien 3, not to mention disappointing box office returns, it would seem that Brandywine and 20th Century Fox were done with the Alien franchise, and were willing to call it dead in space. But by 1997, Fox still thought it could get more acid blood from the Alien stone. And in order to help with this feat, they would pull from the one region where Alien 3 was successful, Europe, to get director Jean Pierre Jeunet (Delicatessen).Fox also had someone who created

Aliens (1986)

2024/09/13

After Alien came out and was a certified success for 20th Century Fox in 2979, Fox executives immediately looked to do with that movie like they’d already done with their other film that took place in space, Star Wars. That is to make a sequel and franchise it.But it would take SEVEN years, and a hell of a lot of wrangling from both Fox executives and their newly minted from The Terminator director James Cameron to make it happen. After a struggle to get original heroine Sigourney Weaver, as well

Alien (1979)

Even though Garrett had previously covered this franchise, which happens to be an all-time favorite of his, at the old place, who's to say we can't redo it? Adam and Matt have never been involved outside of being dragged into reviewing the AVP spinoff flicks. Perhaps this is their reward for being good sports or it's just because Alien: Romulus is upon us.Before we get there though, we have to go back to where the Xenomorph began. Behind Ridley Scott and a game cast, Alien broke onto the scene in

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2017)

Because The Last Jedi caused such fervor upon its release, the Mouse House thought they were back in safe waters with an origin story about one of the franchise’s most beloved characters. But after Kathleen Kennedy gave the ax to original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller (The Lego Movie), Disney and Lucasfilm felt like they had a cinematic crisis on their hands.Join The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as they continue their non paved road of the Disney movies and side stories with this

Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi (2017)

2024/08/09

Following the release of Rogue One, the second installment in Disney's sequel trilogy was set to come out one year later. Instead of JJ Abrams at the helm, Rian Johnson was the man in charge both directing the installment and earning a sole writing credit. Episode VIII was marketed as you would expect and made well over one billion at the box office, again to no one's surprise.What was a surprise was the actual film itself. Despite a large critical consensus and a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, audiences

Accompanying the announcement of Disney purchasing Lucasfilm came two developments on the future of Star Wars. The first was that a new trilogy would be released in theaters every two years. The second, a far more interesting story, was that each off year would see a new spinoff type of film be released. Disney had it and was set to ensure we'd see a galaxy far far away in multiplexes every year.The first of these offshoot films was Rogue One. Detailing the events of how an offshoot of the Rebel

Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

It took over twenty years to make. Its set was rife with confrontation as the two leads spent the majority of the shoot hating each other. But in the end, Mad Max Fury Road ended up shattering all box office and critical expectations to the point where it’s been called one of the best action films ever made. And that does not even scratch the surface.Is that enough meat on this bone? Join Garrett, Matt, and Mik as they get to the movie that after three films and almost thirty years, would seem to

War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2024/05/24

In 2017, it was firmly believed that War of the Planet of the Apes was going to be the end of the franchise. Everyone from director Matt Reeves to Andy Serkis were in the press saying so. And they went into the making of War with all that intent in mind. So they went all out to make it so. The result, while not as successful as 2014’s Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, was still an underlying success, grossing over $490 million at the box office.Join Matt, Adam, and Garrett as they review and dissect

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2024/05/17

After the success of 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes, it would seem inevitable that there would be a sequel. While greenlit rather quickly, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes would once again see an overhaul of behind the scenes talent. Gone is James Franco, to be replaced by Jason Clarke (Terminator Genisys). Gone is director Rupert Wyatt, to be replaced by Matt Reeves (Cloverfield). So it would seem that the Planet of the Apes would once again have to prove to be a valuable franchise when Dawn

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)

2024/05/10

Though 2001’s Planet of the Apes remake proved that the property was still viable enough to make money, no one was aching to follow up Tim Burton’s film with another Mark Wahlberg starring romp. So, the franchise once again went back to the ‘we’ll get to it when we can’ pile of films. Flash forward to 2011. Armed with Gollum himself Andy Serkis, as well as visionary director Rupert Wyatt, 20th Century Fox seemed ready to once again do a new version of Planet of the Apes for the masses called Rise

While going through the Night Shift slate of Stephen King adaptations, the boys have run into a slew of times when they have asked themselves out loud ‘why the hell didn’t King sue to get his name removed from this freaking movie?’ Meet The Lawnmower Man, the movie that finally went too far and pushed King to litigation.Listen to Garrett, Adam, and Matt as they dissect so many things about The Lawnmower Man, starting with the fact that this 1992 adaptation isn’t as unKing like as the author would
