Ep. 29 - Gnome Alone/Gnome-tergeist (SilverScreen Archive) Apr 11, 2018

Show notes

Did you know Elton John is the executive producer of Sherlock Gnomes? Yeah, *that* Elton John. That's why the movies are filled with his gnomber one hit songs. Anyways, we made a sequel to it without knowing that. Man, I bet we could have done some good Elton John references. Like…there could be a gnome who is a Tiny Dancer? Honestly they could have done that in Sherlock Gnomes and Gnomeo and Juliet and we wouldn't know because we've never seen these movies. This sequel is really good though. Also the other sequel. That's right. We made 2 sequels for your enjoyment this episode--one for the kids and one definitely not for the kids. Special shout-out to State Your Case! Check it out! https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/state-your-case/id1256586066?mt=2 Spoilers: Gnome (None) Featured Movie: Double Feature: Gnome Alone & Gnometergeist Inspired by: Sherlock Gnomes, The Nutcracker Directed by: Christopher Gnome-lan (Nolan) Starring: Gnome-y Depp, Gnome-ily Blunt, Gnomes McAvoy and Matthew McGnome-aughey Tagline: Come see this movie! You recognize some of the actors in it!

Ep. 28 - Middle School Musical (Feat. Kalen Black) (SilverScreen Archive) Mar 31, 2018

Show notes

Houston was sick for this episode, so Bryan and Studio Executive Kalen Black talk about something he has zero to little interest in, High School Musical. Cool, that's fine, talk about it while he is away. But guess who still had to edit it anyways and is real grumpy about it?... Did you ever wonder how Troy Bolton got to where he was in high school? Have you ever wanted to see a Disney Channel Original Movie about swimming where the kid doesn't CHEAT…BECAUSE HE'S A FREAKING MERMAN? (Looking at you, Thirteenth Year) But seriously, there are merpeople in this but not where you'd expect. Now you're curious enough that you have to listen. Spoilers: If your that one person who cares about High School Musical 1-3 being spoiled, well, I guess you are out of luck on this one. Featured Film: Middle School Musical, maybe Middle School Magical, possibly even High School Musical 0: The Middle Ages (Atlantis), who really knows... Inspired by: High School Musical. The first time it inspired something... Directed by: Kenny Ortega. But really, current day Disney Channel original movies would probably do better without a director. Starring: Sterling Knight is what they said. Let's be real, no one is going to watch it unless Zac Efron is in it. Tagline: Yup. There is another one of these. And just when you thought these movies couldn't be anymore melodramatic, we put them in middle school. Music courtesy of bensound.com

Ep. 27 - Pompeii: The Lost Empire (SilverScreen Archive) Mar 16, 2018

Show notes

As we review the best of the best movies that we've ever seen, we get nervous about making jokes about actual good movies, so we end up making a great sequel to Atlantis: The Lost Empire, one of the most underrated animated movies of all time. But yeah, this episode feels like an actual movie podcast, weirdly enough. Spoilers: Good Will Hunting, The Prestige. Featured Movie: Pompeii: The Lost Empire Inspired by: Atlantis: The Lost Empire Directed by: Robert Zemeckis Starring: Don Novello and Terry Crews featuring Michael J. Fox Tagline: An Animated Film for Adults, but Without Adult Content. music courtesy of bensound.com

Ep. 26 - Why Girls Are Weird (Feat. Holly Flanagan) (SilverScreen Archive) Mar 08, 2018

Show notes

Should you make the movie or read the book first? Holly from the hit podcast Shelley Has Opinions (www.shelleyhasopinions.com) has opinions…and helps us make a hit movie based on one of the least likely books to base a movie on. Also, we cure racism on this episode again. Does anyone know if Chloe Kim can act? Spoilers: None Featured Movie: Why Girls Are Weird Inspired by: Moonlight, The S'mores Cookbook, Why Girls Are Weird Directed by: Barry Jenkins Starring: Lupita Nyong'o, Chloe Kim, Sean Patrick Flanery, Arnold Schwarzenegger Tagline: Hitler is not in this movie. Like, not even a little bit. Music courtesy of bensound.com

Ep. 25 - Movie Mash: Oscars Edition- Jumanji 3: Welcome to the Jungle, Again (Feat. Bryson Alley) (SilverScreen Archive) Feb 22, 2018

Show notes

We bring some real credibility to the show this Oscars Special by bringing on the director (indirectly) responsible for directing The Last Jedi and (even more indirectly) Looper. As we try to make the Best Picture Nominees more relatable for the average moviegoer, we talk about Nazi mimes, why Bigfoot should have been in the Princess Diaries, and a Minions/Shape of Water crossover you're glad we don't explore any further. SPOILERS: Lady Bird, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, Get Out Featured Movie: Jumanji 3: Welcome to the Jungle, Again Inspired by: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle & Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri Directed by: Bryson Alley Starring: Kumail Nunjiani, Sterling K. Brown, Lea Salonga, and Jack Black Tagline: Three Jumanjis outside Kansas City, Missouri Music Courtesy of bensound.com

Ep. 24 - Movie Mash: 2018 Razzies Edition- Pokeformers (SilverScreen Archive) Feb 08, 2018

Show notes

In honor of the Golden Raspberry awards, we turn our attention to the worst of the worst of 2017. Somehow, we end up turning the whole thing into a Pokemon thing and revealing that Weird Al is the true "Last Knight" of Transformers. I guess that's what happens when neither of us know that much about Transformers. Warning: really good puns in this one Spoilers: None Featured Movie: Pokeformers: The Series Inspired by: The 2018 Razzie's Nominations for Worst Picture Directed by: The 2018 Razzie's Nominations for Worst Director Starring: The 2018 Razzie's Nominations for Worst Actress/Actor Tagline: Frogs and Toads are good.

Ep. 23 - Ready Player Two (feat. Travis Kingery) (SilverScreen Archive) Jan 24, 2018

Show notes

There's, like, actual spoilers in this one. Why? Because we're talking about a movie that hasn't come out yet. How, you ask? Because for once, we actually picked up a book. In this reverse-Jumanji tribute (which is actually just original Jumanji) to younger siblings everywhere, we make up for the fact that the plot is super contrived by flooding you with pop culture references you'll love (just like the *real* Ready Player One!) Spoilers: Ready Player One (The Book); Ex Machina Featured Movie: Ready Player Two (Feat. Travis Kingery) Inspired by: Ready Player One Directed by: Casey Affleck and Liam Hemsworth Starring: George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Jennifer Anniston, Alicia Vikander, Sean Penn, Domhnall Gleeson, Leslie Odom Jr., and Morgan Freeman with Arnold Schwartzeneggar Tagline: Luigi is ready, are you?

Ep. 22 - From Agrabah to Nottingham (SilverScreen Archive) Jan 12, 2018

Show notes

Two classic stories that tell the heroic deeds of the lower class come together in one exciting new mashup. Aladdin and Robin Hood--both underdogs who become legends--were always meant to be in a story together…because they both happened to have movies made about them in the early nineties. Spoilers: None Featured Movie: From Agrabah to Nottingham Inspired by: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves & Aladdin and the King of Thieves Directed by: Oops! We forgot one... Starring: Kevin Costner, Kumail Nanjiani, and Joel Edgerton Tagline: Racism is bad. Music Courtesy of bensound.com

Ep. 21- Heartbreakers: A Star Wars Story (SilverScreen Archive) Dec 29, 2017

Show notes

We apologize for this coming out a little late. As part of our Tarantino Trek vs. Waititi Wars challenge, we expanded on everyone's favorite part of the new Star Wars movie--the meaningless side quest in the [redacted]. This episode, we do a pretty good job at not spoiling Episode VIII, except for the part with the [redacted] and the other [redacted]. Man, what a [redacted] movie! Spoilers: Minor Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi and no spoilers for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle Featured Movie: Heartbreakers: A Star Wars Story Inspired by: Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi Directed by: Taika Waititi Starring: Justin Theroux, Lupita N'yongo, and Al Pacino. Tagline: Do Star Wars movies have taglines? I don't think they do. I am not going to fact check that either and boldly claim that they don't. Music courtesy of bensound.com

Ep. 20 - Star Trek 14: Reservoir Horses (SilverScreen Archive) Dec 12, 2017

Show notes

As the SilverScreen Redemption method for making movies leaks into the real world, we give Quentin Tarantino some tips on his upcoming Star Trek film. We make a lot of decisions real Star Trek fans would probably hate, but sometimes you have to break something down to build it back up again. Also, we don't know all that much about Star Trek. Spoilers: Rogue One Feature Movie: Star Trek 14: Reservoir Horses Inspired by: Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home Directed by: Quentin Tarantino Starring: Leonardo DiCaprio, Steve Buscemi, Samuel L. Jackson, and John Travolta Tagline: Star Trek......ON HORSES!!!! Music courtesy of bensound.com
