Greetings fellow nerds! It turns out I am easily swayed and after two positive comments on the youtube video for "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HI9aR3xJTK8" I decided today to podcast and talk about every episode of The Penguin! I finally watched the first episode tonight (thinking the 2nd episode premiered tonight) and really enjoyed it. Get rea…

Happy Batman Day everyone! Okay I admit that this is just a crazy coincidence that today I happened to wear a Batman shirt and wanted finally rewatch 2022's "The Batman". I swear I didn't plan it this way! I was just pregaming to finally watch The Penguin and I thought it would be fun to finally get a new BIG SCREEN BATMAN out in the world. Happy a…

I watched the original Deadpool back as a home video rental back in 2016 for my third annual movie month - the first year I turned it into a podcast. Two years later, I saw Deadpool 2 in the theater for my 2018 movie month. After six years, Deadpool returns - now part of the Marvel Universe (sorta kinda, technically) and with his biggest movie yet.…

And so, once again we end movie month with an epic tale directed by Martin Scorsese. The last time we did that was back in 2020, and this time even though Scorsese is working with Robert De Niro again, this is a very different De Niro character than we've seen in the past - though one that might even be scarier than the ones he's most famous for (n…

Tomorrow, it's all over. Movie month is done. Tomorrow. But tonight!? Tonight we party with Bella Baxter! I knew this movie would be weird and wild and bonkers and fun - but it was even more so than I expected. Do not watch this with any kids in the room. Do no watch this with any older relatives in the room. But do watch it. Do.…

I am angry with myself for not seeing this movie on opening night and then watching it every night of my life since then. Loved this movie so much! During this episode, I talk a bit about my own time making movies, including this short film I shot back in college almost 30 years ago. I got an A on the movie - and this movie gets an A+ from me....…

The show notes for today's movie were written on a touchscreen keyboard on a Google Pixel phone, running Android. And although I did not use a physical keyboard, there is no doubt in my mind that I owe the invention of the BlackBerry to the face that I can write a post with my tired thumbs. Oh and thanks to the BlackBerry, I was able to watch a rea…

Let's get this out of the way up front. This is not a good movie - not even as good as it's predecessor. The difference between this and say, some other movie that featured dinosaurs, is that I think this knew that going in. I'm not 100% certain about that though, because if they did maybe they would have turned things up a bit more? Still shocked …

Is Movie Month possessed? This isn't the first movie dealing with the devil this month - and I am contemplating whether or not it is the last! When I first heard about this movie, I had very little expectations for it - but boy oh boy was I happily wrong about that. I’d heard since its release how much people have enjoyed it and apparently I’m one …

And with today's movie, I have not completed the Jurassic World trilogy, and - oh wait, they already announced another one? Great. Well, not to spoil things too much - but it has to be better than what I watched today, right? Oh it doesn't....Double great. (Please be advised that the host of today's podcast and the writer of these notes used the wo…

The next time I order an ice coffee I am going to say, "Please add cream." And if they ask if I want any sweetener, I'll say - "Yes. Equalize it." I thought of that while I still have 30 minutes left in this awesome movie, so I paused it - and came here to write that. Worth it!!! Okay, I finished the movie - loved it. Not sure I still like my coffe…

You may be asking yourself - wait a second, this guy's never seen Donnie Darko? And of course the answer to your hurtful question is, of course not! I would never break the sacred rules of movie month by discussing a movie I've never seen before. Then the question is, did he watch the original theatrical cut or the director's cut. And the answer to…

Today's episode is brought to you my Fine Movies. Fine Spirits. co-host, Chris. Every year I try to take at least one suggestion from him and this year I - finally - watched one he's been after me for a while to watch. And now I have. What did I think about it? Well hell, you're going to have to listen to the full episode to find out. Now that's a …

Come with me, and you'll be in what might be my favorite movie so far this month. I don't know if it was the "best" movie but I am fairly certain it's the one I enjoyed the most - and isn't that really what matters? Sometimes a movie has lots of things I enjoy, but a few things that leave my head scratching or my eyes rolling. Not this movie. I thi…

As much as I'm a sucker for the Insidious movies, I'm even more so for the Conjuring movies. They're not all gems, but I like how they all seem to connect in one way or another. Today I watched a movie that is a direct sequel to the original "The Nun" that I can't believe I watched all the way back in 2019. Now the Nun is back! And Nunnier than eve…

Let it roll, baby roll! Tonight I am watching my 7th Jake Gyllenhaal movie. My first one since - well, last year - and probably (definitely) not my last one this year. Tonight I watched Jake in the remake of the Patrick Swayze...."classic?" Road House. Is this the first time Jake Gyllenhaal and Patrick Swayze have ever been thought about together? …

Growing up, Godzilla was was that monster (sometimes friend, sometimes foe) on WLVI's "Creature Double Feature" on Saturday afternoons. Then in the 90s, Hollywood tried to make a big budget version of him that was terrible. In the most recent years they've improved with the whole "Monsterverse" thing that they have going with King Kong. But in all …

Wrestling is real. Wrestling is real, and I love it. It's a real as the novel you read, the play you attend, the television drama you DVR, or the movie you stream or watch in the theater. It ist heater. But for some it is their life. For the Von Erichs, wrestling was their everything. Until it wasn't. This movie seems almost too sad to be true - an…

Tonight I close a chapter in the world of comic book movies. Is it a chapter that is fully closed for good? Probably, but will we ever see this actor and this character on a screen in a DC movie again? I think the chances are pretty good - even if the character is being played by someone new...And the actor is someone different. It's not confusing …

Apparently, I love Patrick Wilson. Not only have I been a fan of all the Conjuring movies, but I also have now watched all of the Insidious films. I enjoy them all for what they are. These aren't high art, and some are better than others, but they know how to make a small horror movie with some fun jump scares. If they keep making them, I'll keep w…

Welcome back comic book nerds! I finally am catching up with all the Marvel movies and, while there have been varying levels of success of quality in some of the most recent batch, I can pleasantly say that this one was a home run for me. As much as I enjoyed this one, I hope I like James Gunn's next movie even more so....but today is not about tha…

For most of the last two decades, Marvel has ruled the box office. Things have cooled off a bit more recently, but they are still the kings of comic book movies. Me? I've always been more of a DC guy for two main reasons. Of of those reasons wears a red cape and the other one dresses as a bat. They're the reason I have a DC Comics Ultimate Ultra Su…

In June 2014, I accepted a mission. A mission that I made up for myself where I would watch a movie every single day and podcast (or back then, blog) about it. Part of that mission was so I could finally watch movie series that I keep hearing about but never got around to starting. This was one of those series - and I am so glad that I started watc…

Come on, Barbie, let's go podcast....Welcome back, fellow nerds! It's Sunday. It's day two, and today I am completing the Barbenheimer duology - watching the two biggest movies from 2023 back to back. Big shout out to my niece who graduates from 8th grade today! Next year she is going to my alma mater and hopefully she can make our name cool again.…

Hello fellow cool kids, and welcome back to MOVIE MONTH! Can you believe it? This is my 11th year of watching 30 movies in 30 days and now the ninth year of doing 30 podcast episodes. Did you miss it as much as I did? I'll just assume you said yes to save my some tears. I decided to start this one off with a bang, get it? I'll probably use that sam…

There really was only one way for this whole thing to end, wasn't there. If I was going to do a "MARCHY McFLY 4" then I think I had to tell the story of Back to the Future Part IV - or at least what I think it could be. Some parts are more flushed out than others - but in the end I think I put together something kind've fun. You both listen and wat…

There were 26 episodes of "Back to the Future: The Animated Series" over two seasons - but what was the BEST episode of them all? Tonight in the penultimate episode of Marchy McFly, I painstakingly (emphasis on pain) go back through every episode and have them battle each other in a head-to-head tournament that can only be called....Marchy McMadnes…

It's Friday night here at Marchy McFly and we are here discussing the final episode of the Back to the Future animated series, "Verne Hatches an Egg," in which all of our unanswered questions get answered. I haven't been this excited since the final episode of LOST. Oh, speaking of "we" AND that final episode of LOST, tonight I am joined by a Geek …

It's double-shot Thursday! That's right, you get a double shot of double shots as I talk about episodes eleven and twelve of the animated series, "Super Doc" and "St. Louis Blues." But fear not, there is only one more episode and then we never have to think about this cartoon ever again. And as an added bonus, because of something that happens in t…

It's double-shot Wednesday, boys and girls. Today starts our double-double day as we cover four episodes of the animated series over the next two days. First up - today, we talk about episodes nine "Hill Valley Brown-Out" and 10 "My Pop's an Alien." So does this mean twice the excitement and twice the fun? Well, you'll have to listen and find out.…

I'm probably never going to say I watched a great episode of the Back to the Future animated series, but I will give credit when credit is due. Today I talk about the eighth episode of the second season, "A Verne by Any Other Name, " and I think they hit all the right notes that I am looking for. A story with time travel and with time travel that p…

They did it again! They. Did. It. Again. Two days in a row. Tonight, I am here talking about the seventh episode of this second (and thankfully final) season of the Back to the Future animated series, "The Money Tree." It's exactly what you think it's about. A tree with money. Money. And no time travel. Again.…

Happy Sunday night, everybody! Raise your hand if you want a TV show based on a time-traveling movie to not feature any time travel in an episode. Ooh, one of you raised your hand? Wow, well then this next episode I cover - "Bravelord and the Demon Monstrux" is tailor made for you.

Happy Friday, Futurists!, we're back on board with the animated series and today I watched the fourth episode from the second season, "Marty McFly PFC." It's going to be a lot of animated series for the rest of the way so strap in and get ready as we're in the final ten episodes of Marchy McFly....forever?…

It's Double Shot Thursday as today I once again double up the action as I talk about issue five of the Back to the Future: Untold Tales and Alternate Timelines Comic, featuring "Clara's Story," which was pretty great. I then follow that up with something not so great as I talk about and play the "Back to the Future II & III" NES Game, in which I an…

Whoa, this is heavy. Less than 12 hours ago I put up yesterday's episode and now I'm already back to talk about another episode of the Back to the Future animated series, "A Friend in Deed." This one is a big improvement on yesterday's episode AND we finally meet a missing link in the long line of Tannen's that I've been curious about for years. So…

Hello, fellow science enthusiasts. Today I watched the 2nd episode of the 2nd season of Back to the Future: The Animated Series, "Put on Your Thinking Caps, Kids! It's Time for Mr. Wisdom!" and I am really happy, because it's over and I never have to watch it again. What a way to advertise a podcast episode!…

Double your pleasure - double your fun - double your Back to the Future talk! Today on the podcast I give you twice the excitement. Twice the passion. Twice the mediocre reading comprehension. Today I talk both issues #3 AND #4 of the "Back to the Future: Untold Tales and Alternate Timelines Comic." This is a long one, so take the day out of work a…

Happy Saint Patrick's Day, you Irish Bugs! Today I jumped right back into the animated series and started season 2 with an episode all about pirates called, "Mac the Black." I also talk about the new opening for this 2nd season and the bonkers fact that this is actually a multi-time Emmy winner. And Shamrock Shakes. I talk about those too....…

Today I watched the season 1 finale of the Back to the Future Animated Series, "Clara's Folks," and I'm just going say it - I really enjoyed this episode. Perfect? No. But as a whole, I was into it pretty much the entire way. Don't believe me? Well, listen and find out. Also, get maybe 4 or 5 or 4,000 of your friends to listen to. Hell, send them t…
