Jaws 2 (1978)

Percolated Media ·

2025/11/14

Against all odds, 1975’s Jaws was released and before long, was labeled a certified hit. So it’s safe to say that not firing a forward thinking young director for going over 100 days over budget paid off, and before the term was even uttered, Universal Studios had a franchise on their hands.But what next? Well, it would only seem fit that they would capitalize on it with a sequel. Of course, the studio approached their young wunderkind Steven Spielberg to see if he would like to direct the follow

Happy Halloween everyone! Since we released The Long Walk podcast yesterday, we thought we’d give you guys a treat of some Poltergeist talk in this Halloween day, as Garrett’s two podcast co-hosts still haven’t done that film series with him, he had to get his love for Poltergeist out in some other way. Enter Poltergeist expert David Furtney!Earlier this year Garrett interviewed his friend David Furtney about his love and knowledge of the movie Poltergeist. Not just the first one, but the sequels

Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

2025/10/17

Despite not winning most critics over, Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom STILL cracked the $1 billion mark at the box office. This proved that people were still starved for dinosaurs. So Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow, fresh from his bomb Book of Henry, decided he was the one to close off this Jurassic World trilogy.To do that he decided he was going to give fans a treat. He was going to bring back the OG Jurassic crew Sam Neil, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum, with our Jurassic World alumni

Jurassic World (2015)

Now that John Wick is behind us, time to start a new retrospective. Actually, it’s time to pick up from where an old one left off, as two years ago Garrett, Adam, and Matt reviewed the first three movies in the Jurassic Park film series, with every intention of eventually picking up from where they left off. Well, with Jurassic World Rebirth being released this year, we decided now was as good a time as any.Before we get there, the guys review what started the whole Jurassic World Series, Colin

John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)

2025/09/19

Three films in, neither John Wick or its portrayer Keanu Reeves showed any signs of slowing down. Yet, in the lead up to the 2023 release of John Wick Chapter 4, all producers and Reeves could talk about is the fact that this was going to be the last one.But, massive success followed. As did a Peacock prequel, and next week’s film Ballerina. We’ll talk about those in the next week. For now, we’ll dissect the near three hour third sequel, which was once again helmed by Chad Stahelski. Next week, a

M3gan 2.0 (2025)

2025/08/15

After grossing over $80 million at the box office, you knew it was only a matter of time before the Jason Blum Blumhouse Puctures machine churned out another adventure involving Megan the killer AI doll. In fact, we even said as much on that podcast. Lo and behold, two years later, here we are discussing Megan 2.0!With a terrible marketing campaign and even more terrible release date (in between Jurassic World Rebirth and Superman), it would seem that Megan 2.0 didn’t have a chance of making any

2025/07/31

To say Hulk Hogan had a complicated legacy would be an understatement. On one end, he started a wrestling boom that despite some bumps along the road (which Matt and I are covering on our Tag Team Wrestling Podcast) eventually turned the then WWF into a juggernaut and publicly owned company. However, it was within these beginnings that Hogan helped put a stop to the possibility of a wrestling union being formed. On one end, he made hundreds of wrestlers millions of dollars. On the other, he has been

Mission Impossible: Fallout (2018)

Percolated Media ·

2025/07/25

All things considered, 2015’s Mission Impossible Rogue Nation was a certified hit. Star Tom Cruise made a ditch effort to get writer/director Christopher McQuarrie back onboard to do another sequel in his tent pole franchise. After some convincing -and the casting of famously mustached Henry Cavill as the not so hidden villain- Mission Impossible Fallout was set to debut in 2018. And, like its predecessor, Fallout went on to be both a critical and financial hit.Listen to Garrett, Matt, and Adam

Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (2015)

2025/07/19

2015 was a MASSIVE year for franchises. Jurassic Park was about to get a whole reboot in the form of Jurassic World. James Bond was going to finally bring Blofeld and Spectre back in Spectre. Mad Max put the action genre on its head, coming back after 30 years with Mad Max Fury Road. And of course, Star Wars was finally brought back to the big screen in a big way with The Force Awakens. All of these, by the way, have been or will be reviewed by us at The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast, so we

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol (2011)

2025/07/17

The words Brad Bird and Mission Impossible wouldn’t seem to go together. But in star Tom Cruise’s eyes, they most certainly do, as 2011 saw the release of The Incredibles director helming the fourth Mission Impossible movie, Ghost Protocol.With a cast that includes Paula Patton, Simon Pegg, and, oh yeah, Jeremy Renner, Ghost Protocol would prove to be a favorite amongst fans. Will this podcast panel feel the same? Also, Garrett discusses the release of Zoo, the new novel from his old friend -and

Mission Impossible 2 (2000)

2025/06/27

By 2000, Tom Cruise was a made man. He had worked with Stanley Kubrick on the so-so erotic thriller Eyes Wide Shut, and even received an Oscar nomination for Magnolia. So in the interim between sequels, Cruise once again found himself in the position of being able to do anything. Why not return to the action franchise he had launched four years before?Now being helmed by Face Off’s John Woo, and despite some pretty tepid reviews, Mission Impossible 2 proved to be a huge hit. It would also seem to

Mission: Impossible (1996)

In 1996 Tom Cruise could have done whatever he wanted. He was married, had a positive public image, and the Academy was starting to recognize his work by nominating him for acting Oscars. However, seven months before he would try his hand at another shot at an Oscar with Jerry McGuire, he would add another perk to his resume. A perk that he would ride for nearly 30 years. That, of action star.Being a huge fan of the original TV series, Cruise (and his producing partner Paula Wagner) went to

The Running Man (1987)

2025/06/14

In 1987, Arnold Schwarzenegger was well on his way to becoming the biggest action star in the world. Later on in the year, he would be in Predator. But first, he’d star in the Stephen King adaptation The Running Man. Or is it a Richard Bachman adaptation? What’s the difference, and why would the rights to this book be $100,000, surprising the hell out of producer George Linder? We get into all of this, as well as a full review of the Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky?) directed film, in the podcast

Cujo (1983)

2025/06/06

As we already established on our The Dead Zone podcast, 1983 was the Year of the King. That year, Stephen King fans were treated to not one, not two, but THREE adaptations of the author’s work. The Dead Zone, Christine, and Cujo. Now common usage to explain a mean dog, Cujo had next to zero meaning to people who picked the book up ready to read King’s first all out horror novel in years.Like Drew Barrymore in Firestarter, producers once again used ET as a stepping point, and plucked everyone’s

The Stand (2020)

2025/05/17

After 1994’s The Stand proved to be a monumental hit, ABC and other networks were intent on bringing other Stephen King properties to the small screen. This is why we got things like The Langoliers, The Tommyknockers, Kingdom Hospital, among others.But 20 plus years later, there were once again rumblings that The Stand was going to be adapted, this time with one film for the big screen. Directors like David Yates (Harry Potter) and Ben Affleck came and went from the project, all not knowing how

Much to two of their chagrins, podcast hosts are back to Stephen King! To kick off this set of reviews, they’re reviewing two adaptations of what many King fans STILL call his best novel. Ladies and gentlemen, we bring you The Stand.After years of trying to get a feature film adaptation of his beloved epic novel off the ground, King saw what ABC did with a miniseries adaptation of his novel It, and knew that’s how he wanted to adapt it. With King writing the script himself and future Shining

The King’s Man (2021)

2025/04/19

With The Golden Circle making almost as much as the original Kingsman movie, Fox felt like they had a franchise on its hands. Yet, director Matthew Vaughn had plans that had nothing to do with continuing the story of Eggsy. Instead, he wanted to pull a George Lucas and go back to the beginning. The result is 2021’s The King’s Man, a WW1 set prequel that tells the story about how The Kingsman came to be. Or does it?Join Matt, Adam, and Garrett as they review the perceived flop and determine whether

Kingsman: The Secret Service (2015)

2025/04/04

After taking on Kick Ass and proving his worth with X-Men First Class, it would seem director Matthew Vaughn was primed for a career directing Marvel properties. But for reasons that are still unclear, Vaughn left X-Men Days of Future Past, and reunited with writer Mark Millar to come up with their own comic book called Kingsman.Before long, Vaughn had another property to take on and in 2015, he directed and released the feature (now) comic book film Kingsman: The Secret Service.

Doctor Mordrid (1992)

2025/02/28

Full Moon Entertainment and comic book films are two subjects that fit together like a round peg in a square hole. After all, Full Moon was known for schlocky horror properties like the killer doll series Puppet Master, the vampire series Subspecies, and many others. So why the hell would studio head Charles Band try taking on the Marvel property Doctor Strange only to switch gears (and the name) in the midst of production. And the main question, was this ever intended to be Doctor Strange to begin

For years, the three of us have been asked when we were going to start covering Marvel films. After all, we did the two big DC characters over the span of a couple years. Why, in the years that we’ve been together, and Marvel has gone from being on top of the world to being just another Disney acquisition, have we not also dived right into the Marvel page to screen adaptations?Well, we get into all of this on this very podcast. But let’s just preface this show by saying, we have tried in the past,
