2024/04/17

On this week's show, we begin our look at a few movies of the legendary Nicolas Cage. First up, 1996's The Rock starring Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, Ed Harris, and William Forsythe.

#182 – Alien: Resurrection

Children of the Adams ·

2024/04/08

On this week's show, we watched 1997's Alien: Resurrection starring Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder, Ron Perlman, Brad Dourif, and Raymond Cruz. From director Jean-Pierre Jeunet, this next installment to the Alien franchise features an entirely new version of Ripley, a lot of aliens, interstellar mercenaries, a bumbling military, and some mad scientists. Toss in a dash of pretty solid FX, plot inconstancies, a few chuckles, and cringey dialog, and you've got the makings of a big budget, cult

#181 – Alien 3

Children of the Adams ·

2024/03/29

On this week's show, we watched 1992's Alien 3 starring Sigourney Weaver, Charles Dance, Charles S. Dutton, Paul McGann, and Lance Henriksen. From director David Fincher, this third installment of the Alien franchise starts immediately following the events of Aliens (1986), where the survivors of LV-426 were headed back to Earth via the Colonial Marine spaceship, The USS Sulaco. Somehow, the Xenomorph queen made it onboard and laid 3 eggs before meeting her doom at the end of the previous film

#180 – Aliens

Children of the Adams ·

2024/03/14

On this week's show, we watched 1986's Aliens starring Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Paul Reiser, Lance Henriksen, Carrie Henn, and Bill Paxton. From director James Cameron, this next installment to the Alien franchise is quite a tonal shift from the first movie. While the first is a sci-fi horror classic, the second is arguably one of the greatest sci-fi action movies ever. This movie sees the return of both the hero and monster(s) from the first, a group of intergalactic badass soldiers,

#179 – Alien

Children of the Adams ·

2024/02/27

On this week's show, we watched 1979's Alien starring Sigourney Weaver, Tom Skerritt, John Hurt, Veronica Cartwright, Harry Dean Stanton, Yaphet Kotto, and Ian Holm.From director Ridley Scott, this blockbuster is arguably the greatest sci-fi horror movie of all-time. It features a fantastically talented cast, great cinematography, unforgettable scares, a couple of the most iconic movie monsters to date, and an unexpectedly badass hero. Be sure to let us know what you think of the movie, and

#178 – Predator

Children of the Adams ·

2024/02/15

On this week's show, we watched 1987's Predator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carl Weathers, Kevin Peter Hall, Elpidia Carrillo, and Jesse Ventura. This blockbuster features a cast that's a veritable who's who of 80s action movie tough guys, big guns, bigger muscles, a giant alien capable of slaughtering everything it sees with its bare hands or super cool tech, practical FX from a true industry legend, great cinematography, amazing one-liners, and Arnold at the near pinnacle of his game. In

#177 – The Adventures of Hercules And Favorite Films...

Children of the Adams ·

2024/01/30

On this week's show, an unplanned dive back into the films of The Canon Group with a look at 1985's The Adventures of Hercules starring Lou Ferrigno. This cult classic is a confusing quagmire of oiled muscles, a muddled plot, bad dialogue, and adorably cheesy FX. To be fair, Lou Ferrigno is arguably the best live action version we've seen of the the god, and there are many things in the movie to enjoy. However the comparisons to the more beloved Clash of the Titans (1981) are inescapable. Plus,

#176 – Violent Night (2022)

Children of the Adams ·

2024/01/03

On this week's show, a review of the 2022's Violent Night starring David Harbour, John Leguizamo, Beverly D'Angelo, and Alex Hassell. This one is a blend of a few holiday movies including Die Hard, Home Alone, and Miracle on 34th Street. And with an added dash of John Wickian hyper-violence, this holiday action comedy was a very entertaining viewing experience. How about you? Did you see it? What did you think?

#175 – Scrooged

Children of the Adams ·

2023/12/12

On this week's show, a review of the 1988's Scrooged directed by Richard Donner, and starring Bill Murray, Karen Allen, Alfre Woodard, Carol Kane, and Bobcat Goldthwait. Thanks in part to Murray's ability (or lack thereof), Donner's directing, their egos, and on-set clashes between the pair during production, this darkly comedic and horror tinged take on the Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, has gone on to become a, somewhat divisive, holiday classic. But first, what TV shows have great

#174 – Silent Night, Deadly Night

Children of the Adams ·

2023/11/28

On this week's show, a review of the cult classic that almost ruined Christmas in 1984, Silent Night, Deadly Night. This holiday horror slasher is a confounding amalgam of standard 80s horror movie tropes such as a largely unknown cast, hyperviolence, bad acting, worse dialog, nudity, "plot" holes, and more violence which is then followed by more nudity. This movie was not an easy watch. And while almost none of it works, this film surprisingly spawned several sequels over the next two decades,

#173 – Friday the 13th (1980) Live Review

Children of the Adams ·

2023/10/13

On this week's show, it's a live review of 1980's Friday the 13th. The little horror movie that started as a ripoff of another iconic slasher film, but ended up launching a film franchise of its own. But you might be asking yourself, "What is a live review?". Well, we watched a movie, while recording what we think of it as we go. And so dear friends, that means you will be able to watch this cult classic right along with us. (It may help to follow the instructions given in the podcast, and

#172 – Starship Troopers

Children of the Adams ·

2023/09/26

On this week's show, a review of the cult classic that is 1997's Starship Troopers starring Casper Van Dien, Dina Meyer, Denise Richards, Neil Patrick Harris, and Michael Ironside. From director Paul Verhoeven, this surprisingly nuanced and action-packed sci-fi satire truly has something for almost everyone. An intergalactic military kicking ass, drama, giant aliens, fisticuffs, romance, spaceships, nudity (so much nudity), and more. Plus, we've got another movie you can watch with us, and it's

#171 – The Summer of Sly: Tango And Cash

Children of the Adams ·

2023/08/17

On this week's show, the Summer of Sly continues with a look at 1989's Tango and Cash starring Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, Terri Hatcher, and Jack Palance. This action-packed, buddy cop comedy contains nearly every trope of the 80s box office blockbuster: high speed chases, explosions, fisticuffs, damsel in distress, heroes who don't play by the rules, shadowy big bad, nudity, and more. Plus, a look at who else was up for one of the leads in this movie, and just how different (yet equally

#170 – The Summer of Sly: Rocky

Children of the Adams ·

2023/08/09

On this week's show, the Summer of Sly continues with a look at 1976's Rocky starring Sylvester Stallone, Carl Weathers, Talia Shire, Burgess Meredith, and Burt Young. While not their first movie roles, this was the "big one" for many among this fantastic cast; most notably Stallone. As both writer and star, this drama disguised as a boxing movie made Stallone an overnight success, and is arguably the pinnacle of his monstrously successful 60 year career in show business. The results of which

#169 – Commando

Children of the Adams ·

2023/07/05

On this week's show, we watched 1985's Commando starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rae Dawn Chong, and Vernon Wells. Arguably, it's one of Arnold's best movies, and for good reason. While the plot of the movie is thin, it's heavy on explosions, big guns, bigger muscles, a comic book-level villain, giant dudes beating the hell out of each other, and some of Schwarzenegger's greatest one-liners. In short, it's a wildly fun movie. If you like what you hear, be sure to subscribe. Enjoy!
