Memento_poster

Episode 143: The Crew’s discussing Christopher Nolan’s breakout film, Memento. This neo-noir was a critical hit with a gimmick – the narrative was told backwards. But this gimmick helps the audience relate to the main character – a man with short-term memory loss. Now… where was I?

Ep. 142 – First Blood

FirstBlood_poster

Episode 142: The Crew’s going cop hunting with John Rambo as they discuss the 1982 action film, First Blood. They also discuss the novel, which ends differently and doesn’t allow sequels to be made. But this was Stallone’s first non-Rocky film to be a hit at the box office, so sequels followed and an 80’s action icon was born.

Mistake correction: Back to the Future was the #1 film of 1985, Rambo: First Blood part II and Rocky IV were #2 and #3.

Split_poster

Episode 140: The crew’s joining The Horde as they discuss M. Night Shyamalan’s Split. The film was a box-office hit and a surprise sequel to Unbreakable. James McAvoy’s performance is incredible, and M. Night is back in form after some disappointments. But the crew’s a little split on this one (pun). Does adding Split to the Unbreakable universe; make the film better or worse?

Episode 139: The crew’s counting down the days to the release of Glass. Starting with the first installment in the Eastrail 177 Trilogy, Unbreakable. M. Night Shyamalan’s follow up film to The Sixth Sense, is a ballsy and confident directorial effort. So many scenes are filmed with one shot, and each frame is composed to help the audience understand character motivations. It’s a master class in filmmaking!

Ep. 138 – Die Hard

die_hard_poster1_web

Episode 138: The crew’s running around Nakatomi Plaza, concluding their Explosive Holiday Action series with Die Hard. It made a star out of Bruce Willis, started a franchise, and inspired countless action films. But its Alan Rickman, who steals the show in his very first film role. And the composites might be the best visual effects of the 80’s… 30 years later and they’re still perfect!

Ep. 136 – On Her Majesty’s Secret Service

OHMSS_poster

Episode 136: The crew’s having martinis as they continue their Explosive Holiday Action series with, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service. It’s the sixth film in the Bond franchise and the first without Sean Connery. The pressure was on for the new Bond, George Lazenby. And he does deliver, especially in the action sequences. But the standout here is the filmmaking and score from composer, John Barry. Brian makes a mistake in the very beginning, All Time High was the song for Octopussy, and Moonraker’s title theme was named Moonraker.
