The Hangover Part III Mar 03, 2022

Show notes

This week we are discussing "The Hangover Part III" and this is the conclusion to one of the funniest comedy franchises ever that elevated the 3 actors to stardom, individually in their own way. This movie needed to figure out a way to finish a franchise, which is hard to do, but they perfectly had some great callbacks to the first two films and introduced John Goodman as the villain. We discussed Alan's love for Phil, "Fluffers, Buffers, and Farters", Chow becoming an action star, and so much more.

The next sequel that will be discussed next is "Ghoulies Go to College " in honor of college spring break. This movie had me interviewing the Director of Photography Ronn Schmidt. Ronn's early credits include this Ghoulies sequel and some Roger Corman classics like "Brain Dead". Ronn is most known for his work on the 1st season of "The Shield" and "The Mist", but his credits are full of some great projects. I loved Ronn's origin story and also so amazing that former guest Steven Poster is part of Ronn's journey.

The next sequel we are reviewing is "Mechanic Resurrection" and this week I was lucky to chat with an actor and stuntman who was on the other of the globe, Brahim Chab.

Brahim talks about a decision he made to stay in a foreign land to pursue his dream and it was so inspiring. Great chat.

Batman Forever Jan 06, 2022

Show notes

This week we are discussing "Batman Forever", which is the perfect way to kick off 2022. Carrey, Lee Jones, Kilmer, Kidman, O'Donnell, and more fill out this star-studded cast. This is more comic book looking than its predecessors, but a lot of fun to break down. We discussed some of the "almost" casting decisions if anyone can turn on the bat signal, Commissioner Gordon being the worst, the Riddler's odd change throughout the movie, and so much more. We had guest reviewer Shorror join us to analyze this Batty sequel.

The next sequel will be our 200th sequel and we are covering a sequel with 2 horror icons, Freddy Vs Jason. I was lucky enough to interview Jason himself, Ken Kirzinger who is a legend in the stunt world. He also was the stunt coordinator for Jason takes Manhattan and actually was the cook that Jason killed in the NY diner scene. Ken has done everything from stunt driving to a gun spinner, hell he even was a stand-in for John Lithgow in a movie. Great stories about starting in the stunt industry just as filming started to boom in Vancouver, Canada. Great chat.
