    Ep. 86 - F1: The Movie
    2025/07/02
    If you’ve seen a movie in the last month, or have used an Apple product, then you’ve seen the trailer for “F1: The Movie”. I’m going to be honest and say that I didn’t have much hope for this. Brad Pitt as an aging driver showing a young hotshot (Damson Idris) the ropes on professional F1 Driving didn’t scream excitement for me. However, I was wrong! This movie with the tired trope of “passing the torch to the younger generation” was exactly what I needed in ta movie right now. Combine that with razor sharp cinematography and a fun soundtrack and you have a kick ass time in the theaters!

    Ep. 85 - Top Cannon and Carolco movies (with Ukrainian film critic/author Davyd Klimov)
    2025/06/30
    Growing up in the late 80’s and early 90’s, everyone was in love with Cannon and Carolco movies. When your mind thinks of 80’s action movies, the first movies that come to mind is from one of those production companies. I met Ukrainian author and film critic Davyd Klimov after he reviewed my proof of concept Bishop’s Day. His honest criticism of movies and love of cinema made me want to bring him on the pod and chat like true film nerds. He and I had a lot of things to talk about, so kick back and be prepared to get a lot of info on 80’s action and more! When you’re done with the pod, check out his book To Watch, or Not To Watch, which is filled with reviews that Klimov recommends and … doesn’t.

    Ep. 84 - 28 Years Later
    2025/06/26
    It’s been 23 years since 28 Days Later and 18 years since 28 Weeks Later; does the franchise have anything left in it? Well, I thought so!
    Instead of a zombie flick, writer Alex Garland crafted a very in-depth look at the rite of passage in society and having to do the right thing even when you’re not old enough to comprehend what that means. I bet you didn't see that coming!

    Ep. 83 - Karate Kid: Legends
    2025/06/04
    Welcome to the mini pods, where it’s just me (Chris) talking about my thoughts on a new movie. Usually the pods have more in-depth research, these are more just like me and minor research.
    Karate Kid is back and more kung fu-er than ever! Why is this about kung fu and not karate? Well .. you saw the remake, yeah? Anyways, kind of a strange installment in the Kid franchise that doesn’t really use the characters as much as they should and really doesn’t explore the big tournament like one would expect. The love interest is there, as well as her dad, a tutor and a pizza shop. Although I love seeing Jackie Chan and anything Karate Kid related, this movie left me empty and confused.

    Ep. 82 - Final Destination: Bloodlines - mini pod
    2025/05/27
    It’s been 14 years since the last Final Destination flick and does this franchise still have life left? Are the deaths as gross and fun as before or did we finally reach our destination? Well, I really liked it and think everyone who wants to relax and have a fun time at the theaters (how long has it been since we did that?) to go see Final Destination: Bloodlines as soon as possible! Buy popcorn, soda, chuckles, enjoy yourself!

    Ep. 81 - Urban Legend (Clay is back)
    2025/05/20
    The 90’s were such a wonderful time for horror. 1996 In particular really kickstarted a new wave of horror, especially the rebirth of slashers. Yes, we all know Scream but there was firehose of teens getting butchered in the late 90’s to 2000’s and Urban Legend was one of the most memorable ones starring a who’s who of teen icons! Friend of the pod (and good friend of mine) Clay joins me to discuss real Urban Legends, working on film sets, other movies and so very much more!

    Ep. 80 - The Surfer - mini pod
    2025/05/13
    The Surfer is one of those movies that comes around once in a few years that seems like it is a basic thriller but has so much more going on. Straight out of Dublin, Ireland, Director Lorcan Finnegan and writer Thomas Martin craft a thriller that moves towards midnight dark comedy about The Surfer (Nicolas Cage) who desperately wants to buy his childhood home on a beach in Australia. Locals aren't thrilled about this and thus the psychedelic deep search for sanity begins. I loved it and am encouraging everyone to see it as soon as they can.

    Ep. 79 - Putting "Pears" on a Burger
    2025/05/05
    Frequent guest and friend of the pod, Ryan "Burger" McCurdy wrote and directed a wonderful throwback to detective flicks called “Pears”. The movie was made in his hometown in Evansville, Indiana and I loved it! To celebrate it’s release on Tubi, I had Burger back on the pod to chat about the making of it. Per usual, we talk about everything and anything and Burger gives an in-depth look at indie filmmaking.
