Casino

The Kulturecast ·

2017/12/01

Chris and Eric are joined by OughtFiveFilm's Mike Wallace to talk Martin Scorsese's spiritual sequel to Goodfellas also featuring Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci, Casino. The film follows De Niro as Sam Rothstein, a bookie who is tasked with running the Tangiers Casino in Las Vegas, and Pesci as Nicky Santoro, a mobster who is tasked with protecting De Niro and the mob's investment. It's a fantastic film that is a worthy film to Goodfellas and works as a great standalone gangster film.As always, you

Thor: Ragnarok

2017/11/11

Chris and Eric are joined by director Matt Campagna as they talk Marvel's newest film and the third Thor film Thor: Ragnarok. The film reunites Chris Hemsworth as Thor and Mark Ruffalo as Hulk as they battle to escape Skaar and prevent the total destruction of Asgard. Along the way, he is joined by Loki, Valkyrie, and some newcomers as they fight Hela and her undead minions.

The King of Comedy

The Kulturecast ·

2017/11/07

Chris and Eric kick off their Martin Scorsese retrospective with a look at a film that is a perfect companion piece to Taxi Driver, The King of Comedy. The film stars Robert DeNiro as Rupert Pupkin, a delusional up-and-coming comedian, who goes to unfathomable lengths to attempt to win the favor of Jerry Lewis' Jerry Langford and become a stand-up comedian. It's a film that is as prescient as ever in our current society and a rough watch.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter

The Snowman

The Kulturecast ·

2017/10/24

Chris and Eric tackle what may be the worst film of 2017, the film adaptation of Jo Nesbø's best-selling Harry Hole novel The Snowman. The film stars Michael Fassbender as the alcoholic detective is being taunted in Oslo, Norway by a serial killer obsessed with building snowmen at the site of each of his crimes. It's a massive disappointment due to the amount of fantastic talent both in front of and behind the camera as well as being a wholly underwhelming first attempt at a Harry Hole film

Happy Death Day

2017/10/19

Chris and Eric are stuck in a time loop as they try to determine who is killing them as they talk about Happy Death Day. The film stars Jessica Rothe as Tree, a sorority girl stuck in a time loop as she attempts to determine who her killer is. It's a small budget horror movie from Blumhouse and let's be honest, can they do any wrong?As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Chris and Eric are joined by Phil Mackie as they journey to Nilbog to talk what may be the worst film ever made Troll 2.

Kingsman: The Golden Circle

The Kulturecast ·

2017/09/28

Chris and The No Name Photo Show's Brian Matiash talk the newest film in the Kingsman franchise, Kingsman: The Golden Circle. The film stars Taron Egerton as the returning Kingsman Eggsy who is tasked with taking down a villain hell-bent on ending the Kingsman forever. It's derivative and too long follow-up to a decent first outing.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Maggie

The Kulturecast ·

2017/09/25

Chris and Eric wrap up Schwarzenegger September with a look at not only Arnie's first dramatic role but also his first zombie film Maggie. The film stars Arnie as a father tasked with taking care of his daughter, played by Abigail Breslin, who is slowly succumbing to a zombie plague. It's a reserved, quieter film than we are used to with the bombastic Austrian but in a good way.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at

It (2017)

2017/09/14

Chris and Eric talk one of the year's most hotly anticipated films that looks to break the cycle of disappointing Stephen King adaptations It. The film stars Bill Skarsgård as the eponymous killer clown as he terrorizes the town of Derry in the mid-'80s. He is opposed by the Loser's Club, a group of teenagers hell-bent on stopping his murderous rampage.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at @KultureShocked.

Red Heat

The Kulturecast ·

2017/09/11

Chris and Eric are joined by filmmaker Oscar Moreno as they talk about that one time Arnold Schwarzenegger donned a Russian accent opposite Jim Belushi in Red Heat. The film stars the two as policemen tasked with tracking down a Georgian drug lord who has come to Chicago to peddle his heroin. It's a good, not great buddy cop film which is a disappointment since it stars Arnie.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and Kulture Shocked at

The Hitman's Bodyguard

The Kulturecast ·

2017/08/24

Chris is joined by Crimson Son author Russ Linton to talk about a film that may or may not be a love story between Deadpool and Nick Fury: The Hitman's Bodyguard. The film stars Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson as a bodyguard tasked with protecting a psychotic hitman who is needed at a prosecution of a warlord. It's a buddy comedy that hits some of the right notes but misses the mark as well.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and

In a Glass Cage

The Kulturecast ·

2017/08/21

Chris is joined by The Projection Booth's Mike White to talk another controversial film that spans the gamut of disturbing topics including pedophilia, Nazis, and rape: In a Glass Cage. The film stars Gunter Meisner as Klaus, a Nazi who is stuck in an iron lung after attempting to kill himself and is visited by a former victim who he had molested. It's a disturbing look at humanity, torture, and the fetishization of helplessness.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach,

Annabelle: Creation

The Kulturecast ·

2017/08/18

Chris and Eric sit down to talk about the newest film in The Conjuring universe, Annabelle: Creation along with an interview with David F. Sandberg, the film's director. The film stars Talitha Bateman as Janice and Lulu Wilson as Linda with the film focusing on the two orphans as they attempt to thwart the nefarious actions of the demonic doll. It's a fantastic prequel to the Conjuring films and rights many of the wrongs of the first Annabelle prequel.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on

Nekromantik

The Kulturecast ·

2017/08/14

Chris and Eric are joined by Rainbow Comics manager Dana Christensen to discuss a film that is still banned thirty years after its release due to its portrayal of necrophilia Nekromantik. The film stars Daktari Lorenz as Rob, a man obsessed with making love to corpses by himself and with his wife. It's an unsettling look at not only human sexuality but also the lines of morality we dare not cross.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and

The Dark Tower

The Kulturecast ·

2017/08/10

Chris and Eric are joined by Crimson Son author Russ Linton to journey to Mid-World for a look at an adaptation ten years in the making The Dark Tower. The film stars Idris Elba as Roland Deschain and Matthew McConaughey as the Man in Black as Roland attempts to stop the oncoming darkness and save the Dark Tower. It's a lackluster, muddied affair that falls flat and hurts any chances of future adaptations of King's seminal piece.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach,

A Serbian Film

The Kulturecast ·

2017/08/07

Chris and Eric are joined by guest Phil Mackie to discuss one of the most controversial films ever made A Serbian Film. The film stars Srdjan Todorovic as Milos, a retired porn star who gets drawn back into a web of necrophilia, rape, and pedophilia when he is unwittingly hired to star in a pornographic snuff film. It's not for the faint of heart, weak of stomach, or those prone to nightmares.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at @tychomagnetics and

Atomic Blonde

The Kulturecast ·

2017/08/03

Chris and Eric talk a summer blockbuster that is a little John Wick, a little Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and a whole lot of Charlize Theron murdering Russian baddies in Atomic Blonde. The film stars Theron as Lorraine Broughton, an MI6 agent tasked with retrieving a list of double agents in Cold War-era Berlin. It's a thoroughly confusing film that struggles under the weight of its own multiple plot twists.As always, you can follow Chris Stachiw on Twitter at @KultureStach, Eric Kniss at

We continue our One on One interview series with Christopher McDonald, one of the finest character actors working in Hollywood today. Often cast as the sneering comedic villain, he's best known for his roles as Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore, Kent Mansley in The Iron Giant, and Wilson Croft in Flubber.
