Ghost in the Shell (2017) Apr 04, 2017

Show notes

Jim and A.Ron are surprisingly underwhelmed by the live action version of the classic sci-fi anime, Ghost in the Shell. Unimpressive from a philosophic and even action standpoint, both it’s ideas and stunts seemed largely tired and less alive than the half human half robot protagonist of the movie. The cast and crew give it a valiant try, but ultimately the slavish devotion to the source material is a millstone around the film’s neck that it can never quite shrug off.

Kong: Skull Island (2017) Mar 10, 2017

Show notes

Jim and A.Ron have seen the majestic Kong: Skull Island, and are... not underwhelmed. Not overwhelmed, certainly. I'd say we were properly whelmed. This is an expensive, state of the art monster movie, and delivers the goods that you were expecting. Unfortunately, 90% of its best moments are captured perfectly by the movie's trailer, which is a shame, and maybe we shouldn't judge it for that, but there it is. We also break down a few trailers for upcoming movies as is our wont, but if you want to hear Kong-sized spoilers about Skull Crawlers and giant Stick Bugs, you're going to have to be a Club Bald Move member.

Logan (2017) Mar 03, 2017

Show notes

Jim and A.Ron are very impressed with the swan song for Hugh Jackman's Wolverine in Logan. It's a great film, nevermind a great comic book movie, drawing on our long history with the tortured Wolverine and Patrick Stewart's equally iconic Charles Xavier to generate real emotion as these men struggle at the end of their days. They're both resigned to run away from a world where mutants are a dying species until a young girl with very Loganish gifts is dropped on their doorstep, alone and need of guidance and protection. What follows is gritty, unbelievably violent, and undeniably touching. A fitting final tribute for one of the hardest working men in the comic book movie biz. Enjoy our spoiler free review and discussion of upcoming movies on the house, but if you want to hear our spoiler filled review and thoughts on the movie, you're going to have to be a Club Member.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) Feb 28, 2017

Show notes

Josh Wilson from North Carolina has commissioned yet another movie! This time he selected the psychedelic and family friendly (?!) 1971 Gene Wilder classic, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory." What's going on with Charlie's grandparents? Is his grandpa a coke fiend? Do the Umpa Lumpa have free will? Why is chewing gum considered a personal flaw? Why does Charlie get a free pass for stealing fizzy lifting drinks? And what business does Quaker Oats have making movies, anyway? All this and much more are considered.

Thanks again, Josh! If you'd like to commission your very own podcast, it's easy! Just check out our shop for all the information.
