Episode #97: Congo 37:39

2h ago37:39

37:39

Frank Marshall's old-fashioned jungle adventure Congo turned out to be a pretty solid hit back in the summer of 1995, and it still seems to have fans today, so how could it ever be overhated? Well, in this case it was those pesky film critics. (Like me, but that's not the point.) And maybe that goofball gorilla. Big thanks to "Scripts Gone Wild" ho…

Episode #95: Fantastic Four (2005) 35:47

7d ago35:47

35:47

A smash hit that quickly spawned a sequel, Fantastic Four '05 seems to have been virtually forgotten by the current superhero movie nerds, but does it really deserve to be lumped in with A) Roger Corman's infamous F4 movie, B) that Silver Surfer sequel, and C) the 2015 Fantastic misfire that many have dismissed as an outright debacle?

Episode #94: Saturn 3 (1980) 32:12

10d ago32:12

32:12

My weird obsession with the cinema of 1980 continues, and this time we're covering a movie I don't even like very much! But it's not every day you get to see Kirk Douglas, Harvey Keitel, Farrah Fawcett, and a very large robot chasing each other through a space station. Nor should it.

Episode #92: Lifeforce (1985) 31:11

17d ago31:11

31:11

To say this movie was impactful on a young Generation X audience would be an understatement -- and very few of us saw it in theaters. That alone should tell you something interesting about this insane concoction cooked up by Tobe Hooper and Cannon Films.

Episode #90: Halloween II (2009) 29:43

25d ago29:43

29:43

Safe to say that Rob Zombie's movies have proven to be fairly divisive among horror fans, which is a good thing because differing opinions inspire compelling conversations. (I just made that up.) And one of Mr. Zombie's most "love it or hate it" movies is 2009's Halloween II, so I sat down with film critic / horror nut Dede Crimmins (@dedecrim) to …

For a movie that A) made $215,000,000, B) played on HBO virtually every day for three years, and C) came free with the purchase of most DVD players, this mountain climbing flick is virtually forgotten. And the critics weren't all that nice to it either. But my guest Sarah Bea Milner (@sarahbeamilner) remembers this movie quite fondly indeed. Thanks…

1M ago38:19

38:19

Back in the late 1970s and early '80s you couldn't swing a sword without hitting a few high fantasy films. The studios had their pricey efforts like Dragonslayer, Legend, and Labyrinth, and the indie world had tons of cheaper releases like Ator the Fighting Eagle, Deathstalker, The Beastmaster, and the British cult classic known simply as Hawk the …

As a director, we can thank James Wan for the massively popular horror franchises called Saw, Insidious, and The Conjuring. But he's also had one of two stumbles at the box office.
