1:02:33

Even decades after its release, 1976's Rocky stands as the ultimate cinematic underdog story.

If Rocky III marks the promise of how the franchise could grow beyond the championship belt, then the next film arguably shows its limitations. With star Sylvester Stallone again serving as writer and director, Rocky IV sees the iconic cinematic hero facing his most devastating blow yet, sending him all the way to Russia to represent his country on…

Rocky (and, by extension, Rocky II) tells one of the greatest underdog stories in cinema history. But with audiences clamoring for more of "The Italian Stallion," how could writer/director/star Sylvester Stallone build upon Rocky Balboa's story after he has achieved the ultimate goal of claiming the heavyweight championship? The answer lies in the …

Alas, plans changed, and we didn't enter the ring until n…

Six years and one major studio acquisition later, Ryan Reynolds' Deadpool finally joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

'Deadpool 2' (feat. Matthew Anderson of The Lone Screenplay Nominee Podcast) 1:18:59

2M ago1:18:59

1:18:59

Despite its crass humor and ultraviolence, 2016's Deadpool professed itself to be a self-described "love story." Likewise, its even more over-the-top sequel fancies itself a "family film." With a budget roughly twice that of its predecessor, Ryan Reynolds' second turn in the iconic red suit was a similar box office hit, expanding the first film's t…

1:07:38

Deadpool. That sounds like a f**king franchise. Right? After the character's big-screen debut (kinda) in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine, it sure didn't seem that way. Ryan Reynolds' take on Marvel Comics' fourth wall-breaking quasi-superhero Wade Wilson aka Deadpool seemed like it had its one shot. Then some leaked footage later, the Merc with the…

25 years ago, a story about genetically altered sharks came to the big screen and became a movie that most people would consider the second best shark movie behind Jaws. With some brilliant practical effects and vfx that may not have aged overly well, it revolutionized a new chapter in the long running sharkploitation genre. Special guest Wyatt fro…

Given its title, Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare seemingly plunged the final nail into the coffin of Robert Englund's infamous horror villain. And yet, it was ultimately Wes Craven — writer-director of the original A Nightmare on Elm Street — who gave Freddy Krueger a new lease on life. Film professor and author Ryan L. Terry joins Franchise Det…

In hindsight, it makes sense the diminishing returns of A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child might signal Freddy Krueger should quit while he was (at least relatively) ahead. So two years later, longtime creative collaborator Rachel Talalay took the director's chair for the "final" entry. Kev Smith of Suns and Shadows-Cast joins us to discu…

All the way back in 1969, Sir Michael Caine lit up the screen doing heists in awesome mini coopers. In 2003, director F. Gary Gray (Friday) took the helm of a proposed remake that would take what the original did, but bring it into the 21st century. With hard hitting actors such as Mark Wahlberg, Chalize Theron, Jason Statham, Edward Norton, and th…
