44:56

We're back with another Top 10! This time it's our Top 10 Favorite Opening Scenes of all time. The beginning of a movie is critical. You want to hook your audience and leave them wanting more and these films do just that. They set the tone, introduce the characters and reveal their worlds to us in such a way that it left a lasting impact. Exactly w…

226 - The Matrix Resurrections [2021] 1:10:37

2M ago1:10:37

1:10:37

Here's another case of a sequel no one asked for. No one except Warner Bros. Studios, that is. The movie studio, understandably, wanted another one. The previous movies were huge money makers but the Wachowskis weren't interested. WB said "We're doing it with or without you." And here we are. Was this the movie the studio was expecting? Was it the …

E225 - Constantine: City of Demons [2018] 41:24

2M ago41:24

John Constantine gets his first solo animated film after appearing in Justice League Dark. When an old friend approaches him about saving his daughter, Constantine must confront past sins in order to defeat the forces behind the girl's condition.

224 - The Flash [2023] 1:12:01

2M ago1:12:01

1:12:01

After many years (The Flash TV show premiered and ended between when this movie was announced and when it was released), we finally got to see The Flash in his first solo movie. Reprising his role from Justice League, Ezra Miller plays Barry Allen who is frustrated after another attempt to help his wrongly imprisoned father fails. Realizing he can …

223 - Top 10 Comic Book Castings 1:07:24

3M ago1:07:24

1:07:24

Who is the best casting choice for a comic book character? That's the question we ask today (thanks to listener Simon!) for our newest Top 10 episode. Joining us is our friend and frequent collaborator Alex Thomas as we discuss actors who were born to play their role, who defined the character on screen, and who surprised us but now we can't see an…

221 - TMNT [2007] 34:26

3M ago34:26

34:26

The turtles are back for their first ever feature length animated adventure! The gang's all here except for Shredder (and it turns out there's a reason for that!) but all is not right amongst the turtles. Add to that, there's a guy trying to open a portal to another dimension! Sounds like trouble. It also sounds like the makings of a hit Turtles mo…

220 - The Matrix Revolutions [2003] 59:30

4M ago59:30

59:30

We're continuing through The Matrix franchise with part 3: The Matrix Revolutions. When The Matrix Reloaded ended, Neo was in a coma after using some reality-warping powers in the real world! Revolutions is often considered the worst of the trilogy and some people consider the sequels so bad that they ruin everything good about the first movie, but…

219 - Deadpool & Wolverine [2024] 1:04:28

4M ago1:04:28

1:04:28

He's back! No, not Deadpool, although he is back, too. Hugh Jackman is back as Wolverine! We thought it was over with Logan, but no! He's come back to play the grumpy, adamantium-clawed X-Man once again! This movie has a bunch of cameos, Deadpool and Wolverine fighting a bunch, but does it have anything of substance? Check out what the guys think a…

218 - Top 10 Directorial Debuts of the 2000s 1:04:55

1:04:55

We're back with another Top 10 list! This time we are discussing the Top 10 Directorial Debuts of the 2000s. Just like the 90s, there were a lot of great movies that were directed by first-time directors. Some of them may surprise you! Let us know what you think of our lists and tell us what your favorite directorial debut of the 2000s is! Cinema H…

4M ago48:38

48:38

The next movie up in the New 52 animated universe is Batman: Hush, based on the popular graphic novel by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee. In this film, Batman is faced with a new adversary, someone with a link to his past, who goes by the name of Hush. With cameos from Batman's rogue gallery of villains as well as Superman, how does this movie hold up agains…

216 - Alien: Resurrection [1997] 40:20

4M ago40:20

40:20

We're continuing the Alien franchise with the last of the Sigourney Weaver films! But wait, didn't Ripley die in the last movie? How is she back? From the director of Amelie and the writer of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Marvel's The Avengers! There's actually a lot of talent behind and in front of the camera, so what could go wrong? Check out what…

215 - Deadpool 2 [2018] 45:29

5M ago45:29

45:29

As we get ready for Deadpool & Wolverine, we are covering the 2nd movie in the franchise which introduces Cable and Domino to the big screen! Ryan Reynolds dons the red suit again and brings his snarky wit against a time traveling half-machine trying to kill a kid who will be responsible for a lot of death and destruction in the future! Oh, and Dea…

214 - Top 10 Directorial Debuts of the '90s 55:47

5M ago55:47

55:47

We had such a good time with the Top 15 Film Scores, we decided to do another Top 10 list. This time we're doing Top 10 Directorial Debuts of the 1990s! There were surprisingly a LOT of movies to choose from. These Top 10 lists are a lot of fun to do and we hope you enjoy them because we are going to keep doing them (about once a month)! Let us kno…

213 - Constantine [2005] 43:44

5M ago43:44

43:44

If you've ever read a Hellblazer comic, you know John Constantine is a British blonde guy who always wears a tan trench coat. So why not get rid of the trench coat and cast Keanu Reeves? Hey, why not? Originally titled Hellblazer, they changed it to Constantine to avoid confusion with Hellboy, which was released a year earlier. Keanu Reeves actuall…

212 - Alien³ [1992] 45:34

5M ago45:34

45:34

It's time to continue/finish another favorite franchise: the Alien franchise! Released in 1992, Alien³ was the directorial debut of David Fincher who would go on to direct some pretty amazing movies like Se7en, Fight Club, Zodiac and The Social Network. Picking up where Aliens left off, Alien³ does something pretty bold right out of the gate. Some …

211 - Reign of the Supermen [2019] 35:56

6M ago35:56

35:56

This week we discuss the follow-up to The Death of Superman with Reign of the Supermen! Four new Supermen have been seen around Metropolis but are any of them the REAL Superman? It's nice that we got another Death and Return of Superman adaptation but is this installment as strong as the previous? Where does it rank among the other DC New 52 animat…

1
210 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III [1993] 31:53

6M ago31:53

31:53

Wrapping another live-action franchise, the guys discuss the third Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This film follows the turtles back to 17th century Japan and... that's about it. This ended up being one of our shorter episodes because there's just not a lot of meat to this one. How do you feel about TMNT 3? Is it your favorite? Is it deeply misunder…

209 - Transformers: Rise of the Beasts [2023] 50:52

6M ago50:52

50:52

We are finishing the Transformers franchise with the last live-action movie: Rise of the Beasts. After six movies, we're finally introduced to the Maximals from the Beasts Wars TV series, but does the film do a good job of adapting their story? Does the timeline make sense? And just how would Noah sell Mirage if he could? Check out what the guys th…

208 - The Death of Superman [2018] 51:03

6M ago51:03

51:03

We're continuing the New 52 animated universe with The Death of Superman. Adapted once already as Superman: Doomsday, the new version decides to split the story into two movies. The first focuses on the fight against Doomsday (this time with help from the Justice League) and the second... well, we'll have to wait and see! How does this one compare …

207 - Superman Returns [2006] 58:40

7M ago58:40

58:40

It's time to wrap up the live-action Superman films (unless you count Superman and the Mole Men. Should we do Superman and the Mole Men??) with the 2006 film Superman Returns. Aptly titled, this film brought the Man of Steel back to the big screen after nearly 20 years. Critics seemed to like it but it was met with mixed reactions from moviegoers, …

1
206 - Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver [2024] 42:03

7M ago42:03

42:03

One of Stew's most anticipated movies of the year is here! The second installment of Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon brings the war to the moon of Veldt! The first film was a bit lackluster according to Stew and Justin but does the second film breathe new life into the franchise? (Does two movies count as a franchise?) Check out what the guys think and le…

205 - Bumblebee [2018] 1:03:07

7M ago1:03:07

1:03:07

Trying something new this week: You'll notice this episode has a cold open, where Stew and Justin have a bit of small talk before the episode begins. What do you think? Do you like it or should we just get right into it like we usually do? Let us know! Continuing with the Transformers franchise, the guys dive into the prequel/reboot starring everyo…

204 - Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay [2018] 40:47

8M ago40:47

203 - Superman IV: The Quest for Peace [1987] 53:32

8M ago53:32

53:32

The fourth and final Christopher Reeve Superman movie finds him battling nuclear weapons and Nuclear Man! Gene Hackman returns for the movie that killed the Superman franchise for nearly twenty years. Even with Christopher Reeve himself contributing to the story, the presence of Jon Cryer and Mariel Hemingway, the movie suffers from an inconsistent…

202 - The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor [2008] 41:44

8M ago41:44

41:44

We are wrapping up The Mummy franchise with the third installment: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor!

Missing from the cast is Rachel Weisz (replaced by Maria Bello) and Rob …

With Terra's help, they are faced with an enemy known as Brother Blood, who has hired an old adversary of the team: Deathstroke (this time voiced by the late Miguel Ferrer!)…

1
200 - The Dark Knight Rises [2012] 1:11:34

8M ago1:11:34

1:11:34

Episode 200! It's amazing how quickly we got here when it took us so long to get to episode 100. And since episode 100 was The Dark Knight, it only seemed fitting to do the final film of Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy: The Dark Knight Rises (100 episodes in between part 2 and 3 is ridiculous, we know, and part of the reason why we've started do…

1
199 - Dune: Part Two [2024] 1:06:08

9M ago1:06:08

1:06:08

Justin and Stew's most anticipated movie of 2024 (and 2023!) is upon us. The follow-up to the critically acclaimed Dune. Once again directed by Denis Villeneuve, Dune: Part Two picks up right where the first movie ended and completes the story originally told by Frank Herbert. At 166 minutes, did Villeneuve and company do the science-fiction master…

1
198 - X-Men: Dark Phoenix [2019] 36:12

9M ago36:12

36:12

Not including the Deadpool movies, this is the last of the X-Men films. Trying once again to tell the Dark Phoenix story that was mishandled in X-Men: The Last Stand, this movie doesn't do a great job of it either. Will Jean Grey ever get her story told correctly? Is there anything redeeming about this movie? Check out what the guys think and let u…

1
197 - Logan [2017] 51:34

9M ago51:34

51:34

Here it is. The long-awaited R rated Wolverine film. Justin and Stew have been waiting to talk about this movie and brought along Alex for the ride. James Mangold follows up The Wolverine with his take on Old Man Logan. Mutants are practically extinct, Professor X has been having psychic seizures in his old age, and Logan finds himself caught betwe…

196 - X-Men: Apocalypse [2016] 37:19

9M ago37:19

37:19

We're continuing the X-Men franchise with the fourth Bryan Singer directed film, which sees the live-action introduction of one of the best X-Men villains: Apocalypse! Does the movie do the character justice? We're also introduced to some younger versions of familiar characters: Jean Grey, Cyclops, and Nightcrawler. How does this film hold up again…

1
195 - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales [2017] 56:06

10M ago56:06

56:06

The final Pirates franchise finds Jack Sparrow all washed up and facing a deadly foe: The ghostly Captain Salazar. Barbossa is also back and doing better than ever (for a while). Will and Elizabeth's son Henry joins the crew along with Carina, an intelligent woman whose goal is similar to that of Henry's. Does the franchise end on a good note or do…

1
194 - Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides [2011] 31:12

10M ago31:12

31:12

The fourth Pirates film brings a new director to the franchise. Rob Marshall is now at the helm and introduces us to a few new characters: Blackbeard (Ian McShane) and Angelica (Penelope Cruz). Johnny Depp returns, of course, as Jack Sparrow and Geoffrey Rush is back as Barbossa. Is the film better than the previous two films, which were considered…

1
193 - Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End [2007] 40:33

10M ago40:33

40:33

The third film in Gore Verbinski's Pirates trilogy is the longest and most epic, but is it any good? Following the events of Dead Man's Chest, the gang must rescue Jack Sparrow from Davey Jones' Locker in order to bring together the nine Pirate Lords for the Brethren Court. There's a lot going on in this movie. It's jam packed, so grab your bottle …

1
192 - Batman: Under the Red Hood [2011] 42:17

10M ago42:17

42:17

Today we're talking about one of the best animated DC movies ever released. This one came out back in 2011 and stars Bruce Greenwood as Batman, Jensen Ackles as the mysterious Red Hood (who now plays Batman in the current animated movies) and John DiMaggio as The Joker. What makes this movie work so well? Check out the episode and hear what the guy…

191 - X-Men: Days of Future Past [2014] 1:04:11

11M ago1:04:11

1:04:11

We've returned to the X-Men franchise as we talk about the seventh installment! This movie brings back old cast members with new cast members in a time-travel adventure that is a ton of fun. To ensure the survival of their race, Logan is sent back in time to stop Mystique from an assassination attempt. He's going to need some help from a younger, v…

190 - Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire [2023] 51:29

11M ago51:29

51:29

Stew and Justin are big Zack Snyder fans and were eagerly anticipating the release of his new movie, Rebel Moon! So much so that Stew even put Part Two on his list of Most Anticipated Movies before Part One had even been released! Originally planned as a Star Wars movie, Snyder reworked it to be an original story released on Netflix. There's a long…

188 - Home Alone [1990] 47:52

11M ago47:52

47:52

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! This year for our Christmas episode, we chose the John Hughes/Chris Columbus classic Home Alone! The movie that turned Macaulay Culkin into a household name and made every kid hope that two bumbling burglars would try to come into their home so they could spring some traps on them! How does this film hol…

187 - Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest [2006] 51:05

11M ago51:05

51:05

Stew and Alex discuss the second film in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise: Dead Man's Chest! With new villains and creatures (the Kraken!) the second film ups the ante and spectacle, but does it work as a complete film? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest! Cinema Heroes Yo…

186 - Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 [2023] 1:19:09

12M ago1:19:09

1:19:09

Once upon a time, James Gunn was fired by Marvel, hired by DC and then re-hired by Marvel. Who else could direct a Guardians of the Galaxy movie? It's hard to imagine someone else filling his shoes and I suppose Marvel thought the same thing. Following the events of Endgame and the Disney+ Christmas special, our Guardians find themselves racing to …

185 - Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part Two [2011] 1:22:00

12M ago1:22:00

1:22:00

And this is it. We've made it to the end of our Harry Potter marathon. The eighth film, which is based on the second half of the seventh book, brings everything to an exciting climax. A break-in (and out) at Gringott's! Dumbledore's brother! A battle at Hogwarts! How does the series finale stand up against the other seven films in the franchise? Wh…

59:23

Things are starting to get dark! Our Harry Potter marathon continues with the sixth installment. No sign of Voldemort in this movie but we are introduced to a couple new characters: Professor Slughorn and Luna Lovegood! Dumbledore needs Harry's help and just who is the Half-Blood Prince?

1y ago58:31

58:31

We're back with our Harry Potter marathon! In the fifth installment, Voldemort is back and there's a new headmaster at Hogwarts! Based on the longest book in the series, this movie was the shortest installment (until Deathly Hallows Part Two was released). Did they cut too much out? Let us know what YOU think of Harry Potter and the Order of the Ph…

54:50

Taking a small break from our Harry Potter marathon to include a Halloween movie! Considered one of the best horror films of all time, the guys discuss Stanley Kubrick's adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining! King famously dislikes this movie, but he may be the only one.
