  • Resident Evil
    May 14 2024

    One of Capcom's biggest franchises got its own big screen adaptation in 2002 with Resident Evil, directed by the same man that brought us Mortal Kombat in 1995: Paul W. S. Anderson. Critics were not kind, as is the case with most video game movies, but the movie found its audience and spawned numerous sequels.

    One of us loves the RE games, the other has never picked one up. Will this affect our enjoyment of Milla Jovovich? Unlikely.

  • Rampage
    May 7 2024

    Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has had a very successful, if not uneven run in Hollywood. Rampage seemed to please casual movie goers well enough, even if it did not win over critics. We are kicking off Video Game Month II with one of the more bizarre adaptations made so far. Does the monster mayhem satisfy? Is Jeffrey Dean Morgan criminally underrated? Is the world ready for another Shane Black movie? We investigate all of these questions and more.

  • Stir of Echoes
    May 1 2024

    Not only does this movie feature a young boy that can talk to dead people, but it released within months of The Sixth Sense. After a disappointing run at the box office and a slew of unfavorable comparisons, Stir of Echoes has quietly slipped into obscurity. Today we take a second look at the Pepsi of 1999 ghost movies to find what it actually does well! Kevin Bacon is shirtless, the ghosts are spooky, and Kevin Dunn shows up for the second time this month.

  • The Illusionist
    Apr 23 2024

    The Illusionist was a moderately successful and well reviewed film about a magician. The only problem was it released in the same year as The Prestige, a movie with not one but TWO magicians, and a much higher budget. This week we take a second look at the overlooked magic movie starring Edward Norton, Paul Giamatti, and Jessica Biel to find all the things this movie got right!

  • Small Soldiers
    Apr 16 2024

    If you ask someone if they remember that talking toy movie from the 90s, they will probably tell you about Woody and Buzz. But in between Toy Story 1 and 2, Small Soldiers hit the big screen with a PG-13 attitude. Loaded with an incredible cast including Kirsten Dunst, Phil Hartman, and Tommy Lee Jones, we believe this movie is worthy of having a legacy outside of the Pixar shadow.

  • EdTV
    Apr 10 2024

    Released less than a year after The Truman Show, audiences and critics were quick to dismiss EdTV as a poor imitation. This week we take a second look at this Matthew McConaughey vehicle to find what it got right!

  • Deep Impact
    Apr 2 2024

    Despite beating Armageddon to theaters, Deep Impact almost immediately became that "other movie about an asteroid heading towards Earth." Today we take a second look to find what this one does different, and what it does well! An all star cast led by Morgan Freeman, Téa Leoni, Robert Duvall, and Elijah Wood ask the audience: What would you do if the world was ending?

  • Last Action Hero with Adal Rifai
    Mar 26 2024

    We're taking a second look at Arnold Schwarzenegger's most infamous flop to find everything that works, and this week we are joined by Adal Rifai!

    After revolutionizing the action movie genre with Predator and Die Hard, director John McTiernan made a movie entirely about Arnold's movie star persona. The cameo filled romp was panned by critics, but we think there's still a joke three that land! Much of Shane Black's trademark humor from Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and The Nice Guys is present in this 90s oddity.

    Listen to Adal Rifai on Hey Riddle Riddle, Hello From The Magic Tavern, and The Word Association!
