Oliver Stone's groundbreaking yet questionable films (with Robert Cohen)

We end the week on yet another Filmmaker retrospect and documentary specialist Robert Cohen gets to share thoughts on Oliver Stone's overall career.

 

TOPICS INCLUDE:

*Who would've guessed he'd be the go-to guy for awhile at assembling moody biopics, business satires and war dramas?

*Has he given up moviemaking to now focus on just doing interviews?

*Who would've taken his place in conspiracy thrillers had he not gotten there first?

*Plus, some audio clips from Stone's 2016 interview with BAFTA Guru.

Karl Urban Revenge Movies Double Feature: Acts of Vengeance (2017) & Bent (2018) (with Jay Skipworth)

To continue the Cop Movie weekly theme, I summarize two Karl Urban procedural films: ACTS OF VENGEANCE (2017) and BENT (2018).

 

What did Jay Skipworth (Film Strip Podcast) think about these kinds of mid-budget Action flicks for today's audiences?

 

Why is Karl Urban not a bigger star despite being in so many franchises and proving himself as a star?

 

And which film kicked way more ass?

 

Throw away the badge and come avenge the fallen comrades with us!

Robocop Saga Retrospect (with Gil Palmer & Tom Lindaman)

To continue the cop movie themed week, Tom, Gil & I highlight the ROBOCOP trilogy, both TV shows & its remake.

 

We also go more into the overall focus on the characters' journeys and villainous OCP corporation while mentioning the Robodoc documentary.

 

TALKING POINTS INCLUDE:

*How do the movies & comic book plots basically mix a Batman type city with Lethal Weapon cops & Skynet type computer bases?

*Could the Terminator Vs. Movie had actually been made initially?

*Did anyone love the '90s TV show Rock N' Roll soundtrack?

*How come no one remembers the original unmade remake (which was arguably very imaginative)?

*Are some of the violent comedic bits also homages to Death Race 2000?

*How wild how the studios didn't get the marketing jokes in the films themselves.

*Why did MGM keep making merchandise meant to appeal to kids despite it not being for them?

*Is the new ROGUE CITY videogame the only agreed upon sequel or are there still many Part 2 & Prime Directives defenders?

*Some praise for the Arrow Blu-Ray contributing to the original film's party movie night nature

*Some Phil Tippett backstory as well according ot the latest Disney Plus ILM documentary show

*Discussing the unmade Robocoop Vs. Predator comic book project and Robocop's appearance on WCW

*We sum up how so many generations saw it before they were old enough to actually see it

*Why does the corporation always rely on local crooks to do their dirty work?

*Why were crowds okay with this versus other Verhoeven's typical OTT films?

*Can you introduce the cheesy '90s show for teens not ready to watch the movies without cringing yourself?

*Can you enjoy the 2014 rehash in a Judge Dredd/Training Day way?

*Is a Robocop Anime Anthology more feasible these days?

*Cam also shares a cool story he heard about Peter Weller's directing career from his peers.

Favorite Moments on the TV Show LUTHER (with Oreo Brewer!)

Oreo Brewer returns again to discuss the plot twists, London setting & cat-and-mouse action that makes the show LUTHER stand out from all the other competition.

 

Is this easily Idris Elba's best role to date?

 

Why was the recent movie a pretty badass comeback?

 

And will we ever see the dangerous Alice Morgan return to the saga?

 

Get your cuffs and prepare for a street fight!

 

 

3 Colours Trilogy (with The Sociologist’s Dojo’s Brian Brutlag!)

We finish the week with an electrifying tribute to Krzysztof Kieślowski's Three Colours trilogy.

 

Why are Blue and Red often the most popular entries?

 

Why is White a little divisive on rewatches?

 

And why are these honestly some of the most overall agreeable art-house cinema for purists?

28 Days & Weeks Later Minisode (with Jeff Kerr)

Jeff Kerr returns and we harp on the rage-zombie universe in this double feature of 28 DAYS LATER and 28 WEEKS LATER.

 

Will the world ever eventually settle on Romero type zombie dramas or are we going to keep getting RESIDENT EVIL style apocalyptic material?

 

Is Alex Garland tied with Christopher Nolan and M. Night Shyamalan in terms of the infamous endings?

 

How does the initial sequel actually take a cool ALIENS type approach to one-upping the original and settling for more military action?

 

All that and more illustrating the noteworthy theme song by John Murphy!

Which running gags and guest stars on both were rather hysterical?

 

And where is either one streaming nowadays?

 

 

A Minisode Review of Netflix's Fear Street Trilogy

Which installment was by far rather decent and which one was the pits level bad?

 

Where does it become way too convoluted to be any fun?

 

And which was the best use of time period appropriate music?

Why was the first one a sleeper found-footage hit for 2003?

 

Why is the 2nd one a surprisingly emotional character-based thriller?

Shark Week 2025: Deep Blue Sea Trilogy (with Darren Gaskell)

Darren is back and we dive head-first into the DEEP BLUE SEA trilogy while trying to avoid becoming prey to the inevitable bad movie cliches.

 

Do the ILM visual effects for the original film still hold up or are they as dated as the JURASSIC PARK knock-off plot?

 

Why does the second one drown in its own blood?

 

Why does the third film have way more to offer than it has any right to be?

 

All that and predictions on the upcoming 4th entry!

Shark Week 2025: The Reef 1 & 2 Review (with Darren Gaskell)

Darren Gaskell (The HD Movie Podcast) returns to talk about everyone's favorite real-life monsters for this whole week.

 

First on the docket of shark movie franchises to cover are THE REEF 1 & 2.

 

Are these Australian productions more successful than most creature features from other countries generally are or do they "fall victim" to the same cliches?

 

How is the first film a reverse JAWS effect in real life where the Aussie gov't was afraid this film would scae away tourist attractions?

 

And does the sequel deliver or is it a watchable mediocrity?

 

Let's go fishin' together!

Jet Li Franchises Double Bill: The Legend (Fong Sai-Yuk) and Tai-Chi

Corey & Fred close out Jet Li July with a focus on two more of the legend's franchises: THE LEGEND and THE TAI-CHI MASTER.

 

TOPICS INCLUDE:

*Which entry has Jet Li only in the first part?

*Does Michelle Yeoh steal the show (like always)?

*Is Fong Sai Yuk one of Jet's better roles or just passable?

*And which one had a horrendously unnecessary sequel?

 

 

 

 

Favorite Moments in The Expendables Franchise

We bring up our favorite running gags, fight scenes & stupidly awesome moments in THE EXPENDABLES saga.

 

Which team member didn't get enough screentime?

Which one-timer should've been back for seconds?

And which one always got the best one-liners?

 

Get to the choppa & unleash some testosterone in this cheesy saga retrospect!

 

 

 

GUESTS INCLUDE:

Jonathan Orr,

The Western Wonder (Pic-a-Flic Podcast),

Podcaster/Filmmaker Mark Oguschewitz

&

Gil Palmer!

 

 

 

Black Mask 1 & 2: HK Franchise Movie Review (with Corey Danna & Fred Andersson)

Corey & Fred return to highlight BLACK MASK, which is easily the most underrated Hong Kong Superhero saga.

 

TOPICS INCLUDE:

*How this concept is essentially X-Men type mutants facing off against each other with Jet Li playing a Green Hornet costumed Batman utilizing stealthy martial arts and you have yourself an ambitious yet far from fully-developed genre outing

*A fun overview on Li's '90s output, how he evolves as an Action star & his awesome child-like grin in all his films

*How the Hospital takeover is a fun homage to John Woo's movie Hard Boiled

*And explaining the cast of the zany sequel.

 

 

 

SONG USED:

"Black Mask (1996 Main Theme) " by Teddy Robin.

Jet Li Double Feature: Fist of Legend & Fearless

Corey Danna & Fred Andersson (Schmollywood Babylon) rejoin for another entry for the Week of Jet Li July!

 

We chronicle the Huo Yuanjia biopic FEARLESS and FIST OF LEGEND, the film about Huo's fictional protege Chen Zhen.

 

Why is the fight choreography so dynamic?

 

Why are these easily in Li's Top Ten Roles of All Time?

 

And how do both films provide solid soundtracks, production value and supporting castmembers?

 

 

 

Once Upon a Time in China Saga Retrospect (with Corey Danna & Fred Andersson)

Movie Fan/Author Corey Danna & Instagrammer Fred Andersson (Schmollywood Babylon) join me in this quick overview on the ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA franchise starring Jet Li as folk hero Wong Fei Hung.

 

TOPICS INCLUDE:

*The scoop on the Eureka, Tai Seng & Sony DVD/Blu Ray special features

*How is this village different from the other Jet Li franchise Fong Sai Yuk?

*The ideals, principles, discipline & themes of fighting back against invading 19th century gov't forces as well as how it's a grittier version of the same historical legend Wong-Fei Hung portrayed in Jackie Chan's comedic DRUNKEN MASTER saga

*And the infamous parts 4, 5 & 6 as well as the campy 7th installment which brought Jet Li back.
