Episode 334: The Crew’s wondering if the unpronounceable name joke was ever funny while watching Carl Reiner’s The Man With Two Brains. This film was the third of four collaborations between Carl Reiner and Steve Martin. After their spoof of film noirs with Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, they took aim at 50’s sci-fi (Donavan’s Brain, or The Brain that Wouldn’t Die). The jokes are good but the film loses its pace halfway through. And Kathleen Turner steals the film as an evil gold digger. The Crew discusses…

Episode 333: The Crew’s hiding from the mob while watching Herbert Ross’ My Blue Heaven. This early 90’s comedy has a great cast and some big names behind the camera, but it’s largely been forgotten and feels very dated. The Crew discusses…

Episode 332: The Crew (and everyone else) has been waiting 13 years for James Cameron’s Avatar: The Way of Water. How can any film live up to this amount of hype? Well, that’s just the Way of Cameron, who continues to give us great sequels. The Crew discusses…

Episode 331: The Crew’s painting themselves blue after watching James Cameron’s Avatar. Cameron took 12 years to give us another film after the global success of Titanic. And the wait was worth it. The CGI and 3D floored audiences in 2009 and the film went on the become the biggest box-office hit of all time (it’s still the highest grossing film after a couple of re-releases). The Crew discusses…

Episode 330: The Crew’s wearing their life jackets while watching James Cameron’s Titanic. Publications at the time thought this film was going to sink 20th Century Fox. Instead… it became the biggest box-office hit of all time and tied Ben-Hur for the most Oscar wins. 25 years later, this movie still holds up. The Crew discusses…

Episode 329: The Crew’s whining about the availability and DVD quality of James Cameron’s The Abyss. The film is incredible, and what the cast and crew had to do to complete it… absolutely crazy impressive! The film is hard to find and has never been released on any HD format. The Crew discusses…

Episode 328: The Crew’s trying to get home for Thanksgiving while watching John Hughes’ Planes, Trains and Automobiles. This buddy road movie was Hughes’ first R-rated adult comedy that he directed. Steve Martin is great, but John Candy steals the show. He’s the perfect mix of annoying and endearing fun. The production design and costumes add a lot of funny moments too. The Crew discusses…

Episode 327: The Crew’s wondering what went wrong while watching Steven Spielberg’s Hook. This is one of Spielberg’s few misfires, and on paper it sounds great… What would happen if Peter Pan grew up? The film is cast well, and the crew are some of the best filmmakers in the world. But the film has problems with tone, length, and confusing production design (why is there a skateboard ramp in the lost boys’ treehouse?) Of course, some of us have nostalgic love for this 90’s film. The Crew discusses…

Episode 326: The Crew’s preparing for their summer camp Thanksgiving play while watching Barry Sonnenfeld’s Addams Family Values. This well written sequel was a box-office dud in 1993, releasing the weekend before Mrs. Doubtfire probably didn’t help. Joan Cusack is a great addition to the cast. Unfortunately Morticia and Gomez are sidelined in the second half so the kids can have more screen time. The Crew discusses…

Episode 325: The Crew’s waiting for Thing to deliver their FedEx packages while watching Barry Sonnenfeld’s The Addams Family. This surprise box-office hit was cast perfectly. Anjelica Huston and Raul Julia are so good; they make you love this odd family. The costumes and production design also stand out. The Crew discusses…
