  • 226 - The Matrix Resurrections [2021]
    Sep 27 2024

    Here's another case of a sequel no one asked for. No one except Warner Bros. Studios, that is. The movie studio, understandably, wanted another one. The previous movies were huge money makers but the Wachowskis weren't interested. WB said "We're doing it with or without you." And here we are. Was this the movie the studio was expecting? Was it the movie we were expecting? And more importantly, does the film stand up compared to the previous three? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of The Matrix Resurrections.

  • 224 - The Flash [2023]
    Sep 13 2024

    After many years (The Flash TV show premiered and ended between when this movie was announced and when it was released), we finally got to see The Flash in his first solo movie. Reprising his role from Justice League, Ezra Miller plays Barry Allen who is frustrated after another attempt to help his wrongly imprisoned father fails. Realizing he can run fast enough to travel back in time (farther than he did (or thought possible) in Zack Snyder's Justice League), he plans to go back and save both his parents, despite a warning from Bruce Wayne that he could "destroy everything." Loosely based on the Flashpoint comic, which is a strange story to adapt for his first solo film, The Flash finds himself in a world he doesn't recognize and must figure out a way to set things right again. Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of The Flash!

  • 223 - Top 10 Comic Book Castings
    Aug 30 2024

    Who is the best casting choice for a comic book character? That's the question we ask today (thanks to listener Simon!) for our newest Top 10 episode. Joining us is our friend and frequent collaborator Alex Thomas as we discuss actors who were born to play their role, who defined the character on screen, and who surprised us but now we can't see anyone else playing the character. What do you think of our lists? Do you agree or disagree? Is there someone we left off that deserves a spot? Let us know!

  • 222 - Alien: Romulus [2024]
    Aug 23 2024

    The Alien franchise is back with its newest installment from director Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead, Don't Breathe). Taking place between Alien and Aliens, Alien: Romulus finds a group of young adults attempting to board a decommissioned Weyland-Yutani ship in order to steal the cryo-chambers needed to flee their planet and make the nine year voyage to their new home. Things do not go as planned, obviously and they soon find themselves face to face with face huggers. We all know what comes next. Does the newest addition take a top spot among the best Alien films or does it fall flat with some of the more forgetful entries? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of Alien: Romulus!

  • 221 - TMNT [2007]
    Aug 16 2024

    The turtles are back for their first ever feature length animated adventure! The gang's all here except for Shredder (and it turns out there's a reason for that!) but all is not right amongst the turtles. Add to that, there's a guy trying to open a portal to another dimension! Sounds like trouble. It also sounds like the makings of a hit Turtles movie! Do I smell pizza? Let us know what you think of TMNT!
