Coolest Classics - "This Is Spinal Tap" ("The Funniest Rock Movie EVER MADE!") Dec 07, 2024

Show notes

“Sometimes there’s a film… I won’t say a masterpiece, ‘cause what’s a masterpiece? But sometimes there’s a film. And I’m talkin’ about "This Is Spinal Tap” here. Sometimes there’s a film that, well, it’s the film for its time and place. It fits right in there. And that’s "This Is Spinal Tap”, for rock 'n' roll & heavy metal getting the lampooning that they so justly deserved for so long! And even if the film is already beloved by millions all over the world – and "This Is Spinal Tap” most certainly is. But sometimes there’s a film… sometimes, there’s a film. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But – aw, hell. I’ve done introduced it enough.” - Jesse Blaze Snider, the Coolest Narrator Alive

CAP 4 is being RESHOT a 3RD TIME…?! (She-Hulk ERASED? Venom/Spidey CROSS-OVER eminent?! Downey Doom?! Can anything SAVE the MCU?!) Nov 20, 2024

Show notes

That's right people, this just in, "Captain America: Brave New World" starring Anthony Mackie as his character The Falcon (Sam Wilson) becoming the new sentinel of liberty has been scheduled for its THIRD ROUND of RESHOOTS after a disastrous second round of "test screenings" and tepid reaction to the film's trailer! Despite a willingness to adjust to the demands of the audience who attended these screenings, are the "RIGHT" changes being made to right the ship long term? Or does a second round of terrible reviews from test audience after HUGE, COSTLY RESHOOTS spell disaster for Cap 4 & the MCU in general? Jesse Blaze Snider the Coolest Geek Alive has quite a lot to say about Marvel's inability to adjust to the tastes of their true audience.
