Tony, Kieran, and Johanna get together to talk about Spider-Man 2! In this movie review/podcast of the second Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie they will talk about all the things that make it amazing. Like the intense action, how it makes you care about the characters, and it sympathetic villain Doctor Octopus.
When a failed nuclear fusion experiment results in an explosion that kills his wife, Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina) is transformed into Dr. Octopus, a cyborg with deadly metal tentacles. Doc Ock blames Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire) for the accident and seeks revenge. Meanwhile, Spidey's alter ego, Peter Parker, faces fading powers and self-doubt. Complicating matters are his best friend's (James Franco) hatred for Spider-Man and his true love's (Kirsten Dunst) sudden engagement to another man.

Tony, Johanna, and Justin take a look back at the first Harry Potter film 20 years after it was released. In this movie review/podcast they will talk about all the ways Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone is overrated. The wizarding world isnt that impressive, the rules of this universe seem to be all over the place, and they clearly were too over confident in their special effects which have aged horribly.
Adaptation of the first of J.K. Rowling's popular children's novels about Harry Potter, a boy who learns on his eleventh birthday that he is the orphaned son of two powerful wizards and possesses unique magical powers of his own. He is summoned from his life as an unwanted child to become a student at Hogwarts, an English boarding school for wizards. There, he meets several friends who become his closest allies and help him discover the truth about his parents' mysterious deaths.

Resident Evil (2002) is Underrated - Talking About Tapes (#99) Nov 09, 2021

Show notes

Resident Evil Welcome to Racoon City is on its way to theaters so Tony and Kieran decided to revisit the original film from 2002. In this movie review/podcast they will argue their reasons why this film might be underrated. Its got decent enough action, cool set design, and it feels like it might be taking place in the universe of the games...until the sequels threw that idea out the window.
Based on the popular video game, Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez star as the leaders of a commando team who must break into "the hive," a vast underground genetics laboratory operated by the powerful Umbrella Corporation. There, a deadly virus has been unleashed, killing the lab's personnel and resurrecting them as the evil Un-dead. The team has just three hours to shut down the lab's supercomputer and close the facility before the virus threatens to overrun the Earth.

World War Z is Cliche - Hack The Movies (#98) Nov 05, 2021

Show notes

Tony, Justin, and Crystal team up to talk about the biggest (and most forgettable) Zombie movie ever made, World War Z! In this movie review/podcast of the movie based on the Max Brook's novel they will talk about all the things that make it cliché. Like the generic opening scene, the stupid decisions made by the characters, and run of the mill post apocalyptic world we've seen countless times before.
When former U.N. investigator Gerry Lane (Brad Pitt) and his family get stuck in urban gridlock, he senses that it's no ordinary traffic jam. His suspicions are confirmed when, suddenly, the city erupts into chaos. A lethal virus, spread through a single bite, is turning healthy people into something vicious, unthinking and feral. As the pandemic threatens to consume humanity, Gerry leads a worldwide search to find the source of the infection and, with luck, a way to halt its spread.

When strange apparitions appear in Manhattan, Gilbert and Yates turn to engineer Jillian Holtzmann for help. Also joining the team is Patty Tolan, a lifelong New Yorker who knows the city inside and out.

In this movie review/podcast of Frankenstein (1994) they will talk about all the over the top things in the film! Like the chaotic camera work, the overacting by the films star/director, and the most insane nonsensical explosion ever put to film.

Victor, using previous experiments by a brilliant scientist, was able to bring a creature (Robert De Niro) assembled from body parts back to life. Once he realized how destructive his experiments had become, he abandoned the creature and tried to live a normal life with his fiance (Helena Bonham Carter). The lonely creature seeks out Victor and demands one of two things: a bride or revenge.
