Ep. 276 – Venom

Episode 276: The Crew’s eating chocolate and human brains while watching Ruben Fleischer’s Venom. After the poor reaction to Spider-Man 3, Venom gets to shine in his own movie. Although the film didn’t win any Oscars, comic fans seemed to embrace it regardless of Spider-Man’s involvement. The cast, led by a super committed Tom Hardy, are better than the material deserves. And Ludwig Göransson’s music is perfect! Buy this soundtrack.

Ep. 275 – Swan Song (2021)

Episode 275: The Crew’s shoplifting everything in sight while watching Todd Stephens’ Swan Song. Udo Kier delivers a wonderful performance, maybe the best performance of the year, as an aging gay man recapturing his former self. The story is heartbreaking with some funny moments, and the costumes and locations work well. This film could be a perfect 10, if it wasn’t for the horrible amateurish cinematography. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 274 – Free Guy

Episode 274: The Crew’s downloading the blue shirt guy DLC while watching Shawn Levy’s Free Guy. The movie’s fun and fast paced, but also instantly forgettable. It’s Netflix fun! Ryan Reynolds is Ryan Reynolds, which is either good or bad, depending on your love of Reynolds. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 273 – Candyman (2021)

Candyman2021_poster

Episode 273: The Crew’s saying director Nia DaCosta’s name after watching her new film, Candyman. This is DaCosta’s debut horror film and she brings back Candyman to great effect; scarring a new generation of moviegoers. And like the original, this film has something to say… maybe too much to say for one film. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 272 – Candyman (1992)

Candyman_poster

Episode 272: The Crew’s feeding honey to a kidnapped baby while watching Bernard Rose’s Candyman. Tony Todd isn’t only the titular character but his presence is always felt, even when he isn’t on screen. His voice and eyes are enchanting, seductive, and creepy. It all works due to some great lighting, camerawork, performances, and a memorable score. It’s also one of the last good slasher films after the genre’s 80’s boom, until Scream came out and revived the genre. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 271 – Maverick (1994)

maverick_poster

Episode 271: The Crew’s playing poker and watching Richard Donner’s Maverick. It’s the best family western con-comedy film ever… and maybe the only one. All the performances are great; with the help of William Goldman’s brilliant script (move over Butch Cassidy). Vilmos Zsigmond’s cinematography is amazing; just look at the stagecoach sequence. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 270 – Radio Flyer

radio_flyer_poster

Episode 270: The Crew’s drinking beer and beating children while watching Richard Donner’s Radio Flyer. What happened here? There’s so much talent behind and in front of the camera, but no one can save this disjointed – Hallmark movie of the week – train wreck! And the script sold for 1.25 million dollars! And the original production was shutdown after filming for ten days; with an entirely different cast & director. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 269 – Lethal Weapon 2

lethal_weapon_2poster

Episode 269: The Crew’s watering their rub (condom) tree while watching Richard Donner’s wild Lethal Weapon 2. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover are back in action from the first frame (the films starts mid-car chase). Joe Pesci is a welcomed addition to the cast…. ok, ok, ok, don’t eat the tuna at Subway. The first installment is a great action film, but this sequel is funny and entertaining with loads of memorable set pieces. And an action film is only has good as it’s villains, and it’s so fun to hate these aryan/racist South Africans. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 268 – The Omen (1976)

Omen_poster

Episode 268: The Crew’s sharpening their daggers in preparation to murder the Antichrist, while watching Richard Donner’s The Omen. After decades of directing television and a few forgettable movies, Donner delivers his first box-office hit and a true horror classic. This film is one of the best satanic panic films of the 60’s and 70’s; the other two greats are Rosemary’s Baby and The Exorcist. Composer Jerry Goldsmith won his only Oscar for his tone setting music. Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, David Warner, and especially Billie Whitelaw deliver believable performances. The Crew discusses…

Ep. 267 – Men in Black 3

MIB3_poster

Episode 267: The Crew’s time traveling to 1969 while watching Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men in Black 3. This is the last of the MIB films starring the original cast. Adding a terrific Josh Brolin as a younger Agent K. The 3D and a 10 year gap between sequels helped made this the highest grossing entry in the franchise. Which was a good thing considering this film is the most expensive comedy ever made. The time travel plot adds a lot of fresh comedy and creativity to the music, production design, and costumes. The Crew discusses…
