THE MOVIE CREW PODCAST

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…

Episode 324: The Crew’s hanging out in the sewers while watching David Gordon Green’s Halloween Ends. This movie is a disappointing closing chapter to Green’s legacy trilogy. Maybe this could have been a good Corey movie, but it’s a horrible Halloween movie. The Crew discusses…

Episode 323: The Crew’s smashing mirrors while watching Gary Sherman’s Poltergeist III. Only Heather O’Rourke and Zelda Rubinstein returned for this final outing and the original family’s absence is felt. Some very clever mirror effects save this film from becoming unwatchable. The Crew discusses…

Episode 322: The Crew’s ducking flying chainsaws while watching Brian Gibson’s Poltergeist II: The Other Side. Spielberg and Hooper didn’t return for this sequel, instead the reins are given to the co-writers of the first film (who also produced this entry) and director Brian Gibson. The addition of Reverend Caine is most welcomed as the Beast in human form. Most of the actors and crew return, but they can’t save this script and it’s confusingly quick ending. The Crew discusses…

Episode 321: The Crew’s tearing their faces off while watching Tobe Hooper’s Poltergeist. There were rumors at the time of release that Steven Spielberg was actually the director. He did co-write the screenplay, and the movie feels like an early 80’s Spielberg film. We’ll never know the truth but regardless this is a quintessential haunted house movie. The cast is great, and Jerry Goldsmith’s score is perfectly uplifting and terrifying. The Crew discusses…

Episode 320: The Crew’s throwing french fries while watching Paul Verhoeven’s Showgirls. This controversial NC-17 film was a box-office and critical flop (although it was a big hit on home video). Everyone’s career took a hit after the release, and the only awards it swept were the Golden Raspberries. But this isn’t the worst movie ever made… not even close. The Crew discusses…

Episode 319: The Crew’s rocking out with the girls while watching Floria Sigismondi’s The Runaways. This biopic of the first all-female rock band flies through the band’s formation and instead focuses on Cherie Currie, her family problems and her relationship with Joan Jett. Michael Shannon and Dakota Fanning steal the show, and the cinematography is 70’s perfection. The Crew discusses…
