THE MOVIE CREW PODCAST

Episode 174: The Crew’s over at the Dixie Boy Truck Stop reviewing Maximum Overdrive. It’s the only film Stephen King ever directed; based on his short story “Trucks”. This film has been labeled “so bad, it’s good”; and King called it a “moran movie”. But it’s a ton of fun and the stunt work is impressive. Yes, there’s loads of bad acting, cheesy line delivery, things that make no sense, and people standing & watching as trucks come to run them over. Cocaine is a hell of a drug!

Episode 173: The Crew’s is running from zombies or vampires (they’re not sure) as they discuss David Cronenberg’s Rabid. It’s an earlier Cronenberg film, and you can see the building blocks of his best work. Rabid, along with George Romero’s The Crazies, influenced the zombie genre with the outbreaks having originated from a virus or drug. The film’s low budget does show and who knew David Cronenberg worked with porn stars. Maybe that last part isn’t surprising.

Episode 172: The Crew’s traveling up the Nùng river as they discuss Francis Ford Coppola’s Apocalypse Now. It’s the film’s 40th anniversary and to celebrate Coppola has a new (and third) edit titled, Final Cut. It’s longer than the theatrical version but 17 minutes shorter than The Redux. This is a landmark film, both a technical marvel and a thrilling watch. Join the Crew as they discuss this Oscar winning war epic.

Episode 171: The Crew’s wandering a world without children as they review, Children of Men. It’s a different kind of apocalyptic film; the world ends with a whimper, not a big budget bang. Director Alfonso Cuarón packs lots of social commentary (Immigration, Police State) in his world where women stop having babies, but don’t worry… it doesn’t get in the way of a great chase thriller. The film wasn’t a box office hit, but is now considered to be one of the greatest sci-fi films.

Episode 170: The Crew’s searching for Dryland while discussing The Most Expensive Movie Ever (in 1995), Waterworld. The film’s troubled production is notorious; the film ran over budget, the director (Kevin Reynolds) left the project before editing was completed, and a small set sank to the bottom of the ocean! Regardless, the film is still a fun post-apocalyptic adventure. Yes… it’s Mad Max on water, but the world-building is well done. And the Atoll battle scene is jaw dropping, so many great stunts! Join the Crew as they dive into Waterworld.

Episode 169: The Crew’s confused which time they’re in, while discussing Terry Gilliam’s Twelve Monkeys. It’s a mind-bending, time-traveling, end-of-the-world sci-fi film! A virus has killed 5 billion people in the future, and Bruce Willis must stop it. The film’s production design as been copied multiple times (The Matrix). And Brad Pitt was nominated for his first Oscar! Join the Crew as they discuss this modern sci-fi classic!

Episode 168: The Crew’s feeling the midlife blues as they discuss the ninth film from Quentin Tarantino, Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood. It’s the story of Rick Dalton (a failing actor) & Cliff Booth (Rick’s stuntman) in 1969 Hollywood during the Manson Family murders. And that’s the entire plot, cause this fairytale is about hanging out with characters and soaking up the 60’s ambience. The Crew highly recommends seeing this film with an audience, cause they will go nuts at the end! Warning: Spoilers start at minute one.

Episode 167: The Crew’s plotting to steal $500,000 while watching Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown.

There’s so much to love here, but the highlight is the romance between Jackie Brown and Max Cherry. Pam Grier was robbed of an Academy Award nomination!

Episode 166: The Crew’s eating Royale with Cheese burgers while discussing Quentin Tarantino’s second film, Pulp Fiction. The film was a massive box office hit, nominated for 7 Academy Awards, and put Quentin Tarantino on the map. QT’s direction & writing style, while not original, have been copied more than any other 90’s director. The movie is a masterpiece… no question, but how does it hold up 25 years later. They discuss.
