Episode 152 (The 13th Warrior)

Movies, Films and Flix ·

2018/10/22

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we’re talking about the underrated action spectacle The 13th Warrior, which has aged really well due to its practical effects and on-location shooting in the harshest terrains British Columbia could offer. The 13th Warrior is mostly known for the production troubles, massive budget ($180 million inflated) and underwhelming box office numbers that made it a financial disaster. Director John McTiernan (Predator, Die Hard)

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we’re talking about the jerky antics of Michael Myers. Michael has done many jerky things during his 40-year terror spree and you will hear all about them in this podcast. Whether it be plunging towns into darkness, wrecking bed sheets or stealing knives, Michael has a long list of jerky moments that prove he is more than just a skilled killer. Also, we have a long discussion about the misunderstood Tina and Halloween 5:

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we’re talking about one of our favorite movies that features the greatest action hero of all time (Jack Burton!). Big Trouble in Little China is an absolute classic, and we're honored we were able to celebrate 150 episodes with this John Carpenter classic. In this episode, we talk about Jack Burton's driving skills, sleeveless t-shirts, inspired fight scenes and leave no six demon bag unturned. If you are a fan of Big

2018/10/05

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we’re talking about a movie that features farting nuns, lots of poop jokes and Oliver Platt crushing fools. Ready to Rumble is a terrible movie that was thrown together quickly and written by somebody who hates wrestling. Despite its badness, we did our best to find positives amongst the juvenile jokes, and managed to applaud the performances of the wrestlers and the soundtrack featuring songs which will make you

Episode 148 (Live Free or Die Hard)

2018/09/28

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we’re talking about the underappreciated Live Free or Die Hard. It is an analog action film in a digital age and we love how Bruce Willis seems to be genuinely enjoying himself throughout the mayhem. Director Len Wiseman does a fine job capturing the "Die Hard" magic and he loads up the movie with inventive action scenes featuring fire hydrants used as weapons, elevator shaft fistfights, and a car taking out a helicopter

Episode 147 (Tomb Raider & A Simple Favor)

2018/09/24

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we’re talking about Tomb Raider (2018) and A Simple Favor. We're big fans of these movies, so we did a ton of research, calculated the time it would take to restock a closet, and made sure to mention multiple times that Daniel Wu and Walton Goggins are in Tomb Raider. What we love about Tomb Raider is how it tells a fun adventure story and allows Alicia Vikander to be awesome. It is unpretentious, streamlined and much

Episode 146 (Universal Soldier)

2018/09/17

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we’re talking about the 1992 somewhat classic Universal Soldier. It is a dorky little movie that features reanimated super soldiers played by Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren battling each other in Vietnam, Utah and Louisiana. What we love most about Universal Soldier is how it plays like an action film that met a horror film and threw in a lot of spin kicks. The best part about this movie is Dolph Lundgren, the

Episode 145 (Resident Evil: Retribution)

2018/09/13

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker’s “Best Movie Podcast” list is back! This week we are talking about Resident Evil: Retribution, the fifth entry in the Resident Evil series and quite possibly the best. Director Paul W.S. Anderson was finally given a decent budget of $65 million and he does a great job of showing every cent of it onscreen. Which means the CGI is better, the sets are legit, and there is more of everything (two Executioners!!!) for Alice and her cohorts to kill.If you haven't listened

The #1 ranked podcast on Ranker's "Best Movie Podcast" list is back! This week we're talking about the fantastic 2018 romantic comedies Crazy Rich Asians, Set it Up, To All The Boys I've Loved Before, and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. 2018 has been loaded with great romantic comedies and we couldn't wait to talk about the genre revitalizing movies like Set it Up, that may or may not feature the greatest scene involving pizza ever. I love these four films, so I did a ton of research and brought my A+

2018/08/29

In part 4 of our Resident Evil Franchise Review series we discuss Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010) as the franchise samples The Matrix (1999) and Blade II (2002), Milla Jovovich leads an army of leather-clad ninja Jovo-clones in some of the best action of the franchise, our zombies are not just smarter and faster but can read blueprints, and Wesker goes full bullet-dodging Agent Smith in the final battle. As we answer Listener Questions we explore Milla's acting chops, the staying power of mutant

2018/08/22

In part 3 of our Resident Evil Franchise Review series we discuss Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) as the franchise goes Fury Road-lite, Milla Jovovich's action scenes get dialed up, we learn who not to trust in a world of dubiously infected heroes and behaviorally modified zombies (oh, and diminishing cigarette supplies), and we enjoy the best "final boss" of the franchise so far. As we answer some inspired Listener Questions we explore various aspects of evil residency-based tuition rates, evil's

2018/08/18

Mark and Robert talk about the The Meg and ponder why Jason Statham didn't throw any spin kicks in it. If you are a fan of shark cinema, you will love this podcast because it covers The Meg, The Shallows, Jaws: The Revenge, and several other B-movie classics that feature underwater mayhem. Enjoy!

Episode 140 (Resident Evil: Apocalypse)

2018/08/08

This week we discuss Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004), Milla Jovovich's motorcycle-jumping and dumpster-diving stunts, the big slow ugly hulking menace that is the Nemesis Program, and wardrobe trends among the ass-kicking heroes of film. As we answer some inspired Listener Questions we explore other major action franchises' tank top wardrobing trends, a few nods to iconic zombie cinema, and the deviation of films from its video game source material.

Episode 139 (Resident Evil)

Movies, Films and Flix ·

2018/08/01

Mark and John talk about 2002's Resident Evil and get ready to do a deep-dive into the entire franchise. Paul W.S. Anderson's Resident Evil series is an odd outlier in the Hollywood system, and it's been fun to watch as Milla Jovovich's Alice character has evolved from a buttkicking hero into an ultimate badass who gets stuck in very uncomfortable outfits. If you are looking for a podcast episode that covers every aspect of 2002's Resident Evil (even the Blu-ray commentaries) you've come to the

2018/07/25

Mark, John and Megan discuss the amazing Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. If you are looking for a massive science fiction film that features 300+ aliens, huge set pieces and Cara Delevingne sticking her head into a jellyfish's butt you will love this movie. Luc Besson was given $177 million to make his dream project and he used every cent to create this underappreciated gem. Every cent of the $177 is seen onscreen and there are some truly jaw-dropping moments that showcase why WETA are

2018/07/20

Mark and Megan discuss Ben Wheatley's gunfight classic Free Fire. If you haven't watched Free Fire you need to immediately check it out because it's loaded with fantastic action, dialogue and actors. It's an absolute blast that features A-list talent like Brie Larson, Armie Hammer, Cillain Murphy, Jack Reynor, Sam Riley and Sharlto Copley. Also, Ben Wheatley (Sightseers, Down Terrace, Kill List, A Field in England) is one of the most interesting directors working today and hopefully this podcast

Episode 136 (The Cornetto Trilogy)

2018/07/13

Mark and Robert discuss the greatest trilogy of films to ever be tied together by an ice cream cone. Director/writer Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost pulled their talents together and created a fan-favorite trilogy of movies that feature zombies, rural cops, and a pub crawl to end all pub crawls. These movies are endlessly rewatchable and feature some of the funniest 21st-century gags (WTF!) that get funnier once you learn how much work went into crafting them. In this podcast, you will hear

2018/07/06

Mark and John talk about M. Night Shyamalan's B-movie classic 'The Happening.' They discuss alternate timelines, lemon drinks and Mark Wahlberg giving an A+ effort in his quest to convincingly play a science teacher. If you are looking for some 'The Happening' hate you've come to the wrong place because they love the movie, and think Shyamalan knew exactly what he was doing when he plotted everything out.Enjoy!

Last week Mark and John discussed Tom Holland's Fright Night (1985) and the documentary of the making of the film (You're So Cool, Brewster). This week they explore the merits of the Fright Night (2011) remake, CGI versus iconography, and its dynamite cast. They address why was there no Billy Cole or wolf form, modernized characters and David Tennant's new spin on Peter Vincent, vampire turning farms, and what would happen if Green Room (2015) and From Dusk til Dawn (1996) crossed paths as they

Mark and John discuss Tom Holland's Fright Night (1985), a contemporary vampire film that is loaded with gooey practical special effects and humor; and discuss the documentary of the making of Fright Night (1985) (You're So Cool, Brewster), covering the inspirational behind-the-scenes story of the film. On their banterous journey, they muse the best (i.e., favorite) vampire films, the role of Billy Cole (and what he actually is), and the wonderfully charming vampire neighbor Jerry. Next week (in
