Now that the film is available for streaming and on 4K, people should check out what they missed out on.
Now that the film is available for streaming and on 4K, people should check out what they missed out on.
MEMORY, MAD MAX, DOG, THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT and the cheesiest action-sploitation movies Hollywood has ever drummed up. All will be discussed.
This film is a return to form for Jason Reitman.
A smart and surprising relationship drama with an accomplished cast.
Josh Helman and Jennifer Allcott join Movie Guys Paul Preston and Adam Witt to go deep with stories from the indie film set of KATE CAN’T SWIM.
The film feels as cold as INTERSTELLAR with not one character to genuinely care about.
“La La Land” is on its way to a rout at tonight’s Academy Awards, and I welcome it.
Funny how that happens when we first see a film, read a book, listen to music or even appreciate a work of art. The question being, is it worth coming back to?
Showcast Episode 129: Everything about why movies are great is in this episode. Actor Dan Bakkedahl (“Trumbo”, “The Heat”) joins us the whole show for a preview of “Krampus” and a lengthy look at movie news. Plus, a trailer for another Christmas horror movie about your parents’ parents visiting over the holidays – “Grandpus”! And Bakkedahl’s Banksy and “Harold and Maude” stories are for the ages.
Showcast Episode 103: It’s a week of Greatest Hits Guests as The Movie Guys welcome the triumphant return of Andy Peters, who sits in for previews of “Insidious: Chapter 3”, “Spy” & “Entourage”. Then director and popular guest of the Showcast Paul Osborne jumps in The Admiral’s Club to talk about the production of his latest film, “Cruel Hearts”. Also, a round of Retractions and a crap-ton of “Mad Max: Fury Road”.
The Movie Guys send friends of the show Dono Cunningham and Matt Samardge to a screening of “Mad Max: Fury Road” in New York City. They record their thoughts going to and from the movie, which plays out like that experience you have walking the streets of NYC, talking movies. Will they like it? (we’ll see) Will we see Dono’s face? (no).
The setting along with the vehicles are gloriously post-apocalyptic and the soundtrack rouses us like never before. But where is Max in all of this?
Showcast Episode 100: The Movie Guys celebrate one hundred episodes of The Movie Showcast! Stand-up comic Jeffrey Baldinger sits in the whole show with house band The Boobé Sisters. New releases “Mad Max: Fury Road” and “Pitch Perfect 2” get the preview treatment, plus The Boobés fire up a round of “Name That Movie” with classic film music, plus a clip retrospective a la ’70s sitcoms.
Sometimes a story will continue on into a fourth installment (and beyond). That’s where it gets interesting.
