Marvel Film Review - Thor: The Dark World (2013) + A Haunting in Venice (2023) Sep 24, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we give our film reviews of Thor: The Dark World and A Haunting in Venice.
Does this Thor "movie" confirm that Marvel is bad or is Phil just making ridiculous leaps in logic? And does Kenneth Branagh prove that sequels can still be better than their predecessors with the right people involved?

Marvel Film Review - Iron Man 3 (2013) + The Nun 2 (2023) Sep 17, 2023

Show notes

In this episode, we give our reviews of Iron Man 3 and The Nun 2.
Can Shane Black manage to save the Marvel Cinematic Universe after the most disappointing movie in film history (this is fact, not just Phil's opinion!)? We look at the PTSD suffered by Tony Stark and discuss all the great actors who do their best to make Iron Man 3 a must-see movie.
Then we turn our attention to The Nun 2. Has the Conjuring Universe overstayed its welcome, or was the sequel to the much-maligned 2018 film actually a good watch?

Movie Buff Specialists - The Avengers (2012) / Gran Turismo (2023) Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

Welcome to another episode! Unfortunately, for you Marvel fans, this will be a nightmare for 60 minutes. Phil and John try to answer the most important question of our time: Is The Avengers the most overrated movie ever?
Then we turn our attention to a video game movie about racing, which is really a simulation, but really it's real life. Where does Gran Turismo rank amongst recent racing movies, and is Neill Blomkamp a good director?

Movie Buff Specialists - Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) / Strays (2023) Aug 29, 2023

Show notes

We're back!! Tonight we talk about Captain America: The First Avenger. Is this the best movie of Phase One? Is it the best Marvel movie period?
Then we turn our attention to a raunchy R-rated comedy about dogs who like to say the "F-word" and hump things. But does it have enough heart to make it worth a watch?
