  • Valkyrie

    Valkyrie
    Jul 17 2024

    Since it's the 80th anniversary of the July 20 plot to assassinate Adolf Hitler, we decided to cover Valkyrie. Despite Tom Cruise headlining a very impressive cast and being directed by Bryan Singer, this film came and went without much fanfare. Based on all of the above it should have been a bigger deal. Does it deserve more love, or could it have been better?

  • Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within

    Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
    Jul 10 2024

    One of the biggest box office bombs of all time, Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was an ambitious attempt at making photorealistic CGI. Square and Columbia gambled and lost big with this one. It has little in common with its source material. It's a perfect choice for the podcast. Guest Kai Wang returns to the podcast to share his thoughts.

  • Live and Let Die

    Live and Let Die
    Jul 3 2024

    It's time to begin the Roger Moore era. Live and Let Die was an unorthodox debut performance but this one is fun. James Bond travels to New York City, New Orleans, and the fictional island nation of San Monique to battle Mr. Big! Paul McCartney gave us a tremendous title song. Yet the film has aged curiously. Guest Paul Kind returns to the podcast to share his thoughts.
