The Mangler Reborn (2005)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2024/04/12

Now that they’ve finished reviewing the new Ghostbusters, it’s time for the guys to return to the King. Stephen King that is. Or do they? Because the movie they are reviewing this week has little to nothing to do with the original King story The Mangler. But, that is what comes with being completionists.Listen to Garrett, Adam, and Matt as they review the 2005 release The Mangler Reborn. Can the fact this film is being done by Lionsgate have any bearing on what on the surface looks like the most

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)

2024/04/05

2021’s Ghostbusters Afterlife proved once and for all that there could indeed be another successful Ghostbusters film. So director Jason Reitman and his co-writer Gil Kenan got back together and saw if they could come up with ideas for a sequel. Because if it worked once, it’ll work again, right?While shooting was smoother with renowned troublemaker Bill Murray on set, the death of Jason’s father Ivan once again made the movie more of a tribute than a story.

The Mangler 2 (2002)

2024/03/29

By 2002, Stephan King’s bibliography would seem to have all been adapted ten fold. Yet, a team of producers called the Banana Brothers were sure they had found a way to draw more blood from the King moneymaking stone. They snagged the rights to The Mangler, found a way to cast loved by the horror community Lance Henriksen in a key role, and hired Michael Hamilton Wright to write and direct a sequel to 1995’s The Mangler.The result? A film that looked like one of dozens of cheap Mattix knockoffs,

Continuing to shift through the steam filled Night Shift collection, the boys have come across the Stephen King adaptation The Mangler. Written while working as a substitute teacher and originally published in Cavalier Magazine for a $200 fee, King republished it for the 1979 short story collection. Was it worth it?Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they review the 1995 Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) adaptation starring Robert Englund. Will Englund’s presence be enough for Adam to push the

Graveyard Shift (1990)

Well, to the chagrin of Adam, we are punching the timecard yet again on Stephen King. We do have to close out our look at his Night Shift collection before moving on to bigger (who knows about better?) things? We're taking a look at an adaptation of his short story Graveyard Shift.Do Adam, Matt and Garrett feel like working overtime? Or does the talk about a rat-infested mill among other things make them put in their two weeks? Listen to find out! Be sure to come back next week as we start our

The Incredibles 2 (2018)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2024/03/08

Way before they had an unending case of sequel-itus, Pixar took pride in which of their properties spawned into franchises. On top of that, original Incredibles director Brad Bird seemed to leave his superhero family in the dust with successful forays into live action filmmaking such as 2012’s entry in the Mission Impossible series Ghost Protocol.Enter 2015’s Tomorrowland. While Bird would resist and swat questions of another adventure featuring the Incredibles family away, people (and Pixar) were

Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2024/02/23

When Conquest of the Planet of the Apes was coming out in 1972, producer Arthur P Jacobs was out saying that the movie would be the last of the series. But if we have learned anything from doing these franchises over the years, it’s that if there is money to be made, the machine will keep churning them out.Which leads us to 1973’s Battle For The Planet of the Apes. One more had to be made, and the term franchise was officially born. Yet, the movie came and landed with a thud, and we wouldn’t get

Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)

Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast ·

2024/02/16

In the early 70s, the idea of having not only one, but three sequels to the same film, was unheard of. But original producer Arthur P Jacob’s was determined to break new ground by making the fourth Planet of the Apes film, with the intent of having it be the franchise’s last. But with the only returning cast members Ricardo Montalbaun and Roddy McDowall -the latter playing a different character than he had in past films- what kind of quality could Conquest of the Planet of the Apes carry? And is it

Time to go primal once again. How do you make a movie immediately following a previous entry that ended with the destruction of the titular planet? Well, you "escape" of course through the tubular method of time travel! How do the boys feel about this third entry in the Planet of the Apes franchise?

Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)

2024/02/03

Despite the film landscape of today, the late 60s-early 70s weren’t ripe with sequels. But when the first Planet of the Apes more than quadrupled its budget, producer Arthur P Jacobs knew he wanted to go through with a sequel. Armed with future Magnum Force director Ted Post, and a (sort of) commitment from his star Charlton Heston, Jacobs greenlit Beneath The Plenet of the Apes.

Planet of the Apes (1968)

2024/01/27

We seem to start many of these series saying ‘this is something we have been wanting to do for a long time’. But in the case of Planet of the Apes, it is absolutely true. At least in one of the podcasters on this network’s mind. Over the years that Matt and Garrett have been doing their show together, there have been one or two instances where they could have been leading to another new film in the Apes series. But when they started their own network, they saw a golden opportunity as not only is

Ferrari (2023)

2024/01/20

A few years ago, the podcast team of Matt, Garrett, and Mike spoke at length about the film resume of one Michael Mann. The end of that retro was not pretty, as they had all agreed that Mann would be dumb to end his career on the back of one of the biggest box office bombs this century, the Chris Hemsworth starring 2015 film Blackhat. Almost five years later, they get their wish. But was Mann’s comeback worth the wait? Join the guys once again as they dive into the Adam Driver starring Ferrari

Coming into this recording, we said to each other ‘there’s no way we’re going to go three and a half hours this year’. What can we say? We only get one chance to talk directly to our listeners (instead of exclusively fighting amongst ourselves about franchises), and we wanted to take full advantage of this time to do so. In this epic podcast, we recap last year’s retros, answer some listener questions (which includes a thirty minute wrestling discussion), talk about the upcoming slate of retros,

For the final show of 2023, Garrett decided to do a new Percolated Presents and throw a little of everything at you. First, he brings his friend Nicolette Olivier on the airwaves. They discuss everything from how they met, to leading semi parallel lives within the industry. Now, she has a documentary available on YouTube entitled Oh Buster, Where Art Thou.

Keeping up with a retrospective we started years ago can be eye opening. Here we have a review of a movie that is a prequel (boy, where have we heard that before?) to a series that one of us was a fan of, one of us was ambivalent on, and one of us had conspiracy theories about. Welcome, to our Hunger Games The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005)

2023/12/15

Going into 2005, there were a lot of alternatives in the universe that did not involve seeing Obi Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker struggle to keep peace in the galaxy while holding off the evil power established in 1999’s Episode 1. Harry Potter was about to reach for the Goblet of Fire. Batman was gearing up to begin all over again. And Peter Jackson was about to unleash a whole new vision of King Kong. While anticipation was still high for his writer/director George Lucas was going to conclude

While it may have seem like a lifetime since the boys visited a galaxy far far away, it wasn’t nearly as long as the 16 years writer/director George Lucas took. And no, two Ewok movies don’t count. While people assumed that 1983’s Return of the Jedi was the end of Star Wars, Lucas would eventually prove them wrong. And after a couple of hits to his empire -notably a high profile divorce and being the spearhead/producer of a little movie called Howard the Duck- it was inevitable that he would. With
