We go all the way back to 1984 for tonight's Retro Movie Review; long before the Internet, podcasts, or Zoom were even a dream in the wind. Instead, we found ourselves getting lost in the pages of a story book...quite literally. That's right, for Murd's selection, the crew of Ian, Chris, Shane and Murd discover together the true majesty that is The Neverending Story! What say they about one of Murd's favorite fantasy movies of all time? Get yourself out of that video game arcade with its beeps and boops, get the theme song completely stuck in your head, grab Falcor by the neck and hold on for dear life, and try not to think about the subpar sequels...for that, is another story.

1905 - Multiversal Movie Review: Spider-Man Across the Spider-verse and The Flash Jul 14, 2023

Show notes

You wanna get nuts? Come on, let's get nuts! Welcome to our reality, as Chris, Shane, Murd and Ian play catch-up and get to reviewing two of the summer's most multiversal of movies. First, they discuss Spider-Man Across the Spiderverse (discussion begin at 6:08), the second entry in Lord and Miller's love-letter to all things Spidey, and Miles Morales' time to theatrically shine. Then, they switch gears to the Distinguished Competition for a movie many many many years in the making, Andy Muschietti's The Flash (discussion begins at 58:48). Do both of these universe spanning stories open a vortex through space filled with joy for the Geeks, or are things a bit more complicated? How many cameos does it take to screw in a lightbulb? Can CGI bring actors back to life? These questions and more await, as do the answers. (1:59:29)
