There's yet another reinvention of the Man of Steel on the horizon with James Gunn's forthcoming Superman (2025), so we're taking a look back and the film's we've gotten so far, and imagining the ones we haven't. If we had the talent to do it ourselves, or at least the power to order talented people to do our bidding, what would be our perfect Superman movie? Dave, Tom, and Vinnie sound off.

Is Star Trek...Better Than Star Wars Now? 55:28

לפני 21 hours55:28

55:28

For eons, the Star series knew their place. Trek was serious sci-fi, and there was a lot of it, and a huge amount of it was kinda lousy. Comparatively, for a long, long time, there were only three Star Wars movies — and then six — and most of them were pretty great. But times have changes. The Star Wars universe has been diluted by a new, awful trilogy, and myriad TV series — the majority of it all sucks. So, have the scales tilted? Is Star Trek now the objectively better universe?…

Zorro and Robin Hood: From the 1930s to the 1990s, and Beyond, Unfortunately 1:22:28

From Tyrone Power, to George Hamilton, to Antonio Banderas, and from Errol Flynn to Kevin Costner to Russel Crowe, they're two classic characters that have been on the silver screen since the beginning of film, and they both played a big part in the 1990s movie landscape.

What is there to say...it's one of, if not the greatest piece of American cinema ever made. It changed the way movies were made and how people thought of the organized crime in the 1940s and 50s, while also weaving one of the greatest family sagas ever put to film. Find out what it's like for some to watch this gem for the first time after 40!…

Grandview, USA - A Forgotten Classic from 1984 20:41

לפני 28 ימים20:41

20:41

A shitsplat town where the biggest attraction for the young locals is a dilapidated demolition derby track run by a super young Jamie Lee Curtis, who is in a semi-sordid love triangle with Patrick Swayze (who is married to Jennifer Jason Leigh) and C. Thomas Howell playing an 18-year-old HS grad ready to sow his oats and figure out what he wants to do with his life. That's the deal in Grandview, USA (1984). Oh, and the local hick-town power brokers want nothing more than to put the derby out of business, bulldoze it, and build condos, of course. This forgotten flick is a bit weird and has odd pacing at times, but it's an awesome little time capsule.…

Jaws: The Good, The Bad, The Revenge 1:35:17

לפני 5 weeks1:35:17

1:35:17

This year is the half-century mark — the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg's original summer blockbuster: Jaws. You can hear the music, can't you? It changed the way we watch movies and the way movies were made. It was full of happy accidents and success out of necessity — and it was followed by three astonishingly bad sequels, establishing yet another firm American cinematic tradition. We're talking about our love for JAWS, and we're talking about those other ones, too.…

Leon: The Professional - The Director's Cut Gets Kinda...Weird 25:21

לפני 6 weeks25:21

25:21

Sometimes a director's cut is the filmmaker's vision more fully realized, sometimes it's just a bunch of lousy alternate takes and extended scenes cut back into a movie that was well paced and tight, and other times, it adds some seriously moral ambiguity that makes you feel a little queasy, even when you watch the regular version. We're talking about the child-hitman-in-training classic, Leon (The Professional). So crack that capsule between your molars and tell EVERYONE!…

Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war! You asked me I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to win, for somebody who wouldn't let us win! Then I come back to the world, and I see all those maggots at the airport, protestin' me, spittin', callin' me a baby killer and all kinds of vile crap! Who are they to protest me?! Huh?! Who are they?! Unless they been me and been there and know what the hell they yellin' about! Colonel Trautman: It was a bad time for everyone Rambo. It's all in the past now. For you! For me civilian life is nothin'! In the field without a code of honor. You watch my back I watch yours. Back here there's nothin'! Col. Trautman: You're the last of an elite group. Don't end it like this. Rambo: Back there I could fly a gunship, I could drive a tank, I was in charge of million dollar equipment. Back here I can't even hold a job PARKING CARS!!!! UUHHHH!!!!! Wha...I can't...oh, I jus--omigod. Where is everybody? Oh God...I...I had a friend, who was Danforth. Wha--I had all these guys man. Back there I had all these fucking guys. Who were my friends. Cause back here there's nothin'. Remember Danforth? He wore this black head band and I took one of those magic markers and I said to Feron, 'Hey mail us to Las Vegas cause we were always talkin' about Vegas, and this fucking car. This uh red '58 Chevy convertible, he was talkin' about this car, he said we were gonna cruise till the tires fall off. We were in this bar in Saigon, and this kid comes up, this kid carryin' a shoe shine box, and he says, 'Uh, shine please, shine.' I said, 'No, no.' He kept askin' yeah, and Joey said 'Yeah.' And I went to get a couple beers and the kid—the box was wired, and he opened up the box, fuckin' blew his body all over the place. And he's layin' there and he's fuckin' screamin', there's pieces of him all over me, jus like—like this. And I'm tryin' to pull em off you know? And 'MY FRIEND IT'S ALL OVER ME!' There's blood and everything, and I'm tryin' to hold him together I put him together his fucking insides keep coming out, AND NOBODY WOULD HELP!! Nobody help me. He sayin' 'Please, I wanna go home, I wanna go home.' He keeps callin' my name, 'I wanna go home, Johnny, I wanna drive my Chevy.' I said 'With what, I can't find your fucking legs. I can't find your legs.' I can't get it out of my head. I know it's been seven years, but everyday it happens. Sometimes I wake up and I dunno where I am. I don't talk to anybody. Sometimes a day--a week. I can't put it out of my mind...…

Buried Alive (1990) - Forgotten Classic 15:44

Back in the heydey of TV movies — flicks with low budgets and no cursing with "adult themes" that aired on ABC or CBS late at night. As a kid you would see them, or parts of them, and be irrevocably scarred. Here, we examine the TV movie classic Buried Alive (1990) starring Tim Matheson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and William Atherton (the dude who played Walter Peck from Ghostbusters) that gave plenty of 90s kids a deep fear of being...you guessed it, buried alive.…

The Matrix vs. Dark City - Fake Reality Face-Off! 1:00:12

לפני 9 weeks1:00:12

1:00:12

They came out fairly close together, and both tackle the subject of synthetic realities, simulations in which a society of people are living without being away of their situation. One takes the techno-futurist route — The Matrix (1999), and the other takes a more surrealistic sci-fi approach, and made way less money — Dark City (1998). But the latter did become a cult favorite. But how much does The Matrix owe to Dark City, and what did DC do better?…

Two of Paul Verhoeven's most revered films of the 1990s, Total Recall (1990) and RoboCop (1987), got horrible, shitty, utterly forgettable remakes in the 2010s. But can we learn something more about these beloved originals by examining some of the many ways in which the remakes absolutely sucked? We're gonna find out.…

It was a thing, for a while. Back in the ol' 1990s. Filmmakers got so turgid with the cheapo possibilities of early CG that they went mad and made a spate of giant killer animal movies. Giant gorillas, giant alligators in misnamed features, giant snakes vs. JLo...and so many, many more.

He was one of the biggest movie stars of the 80s and 90s, and the roles he played have left a lasting impact on movies and the people who grew up with them. From playing Madmartigan in Willow and outshining Tom Cruise as Iceman in Top Gun, to resurrecting Jim Morrison and hunting lions with Michael Douglas, we take a tour through the career of the recently passed and much missed Val Kilmer.…

Shoot To Kill (1988) - Hidden Gem from the '80s 25:49

לפני 13 weeks25:49

25:49

Every once in a while, buying an old movie with a great cast and an intriguing plot pays off, even if you've never heard of it before. Shoot To Kill (1988) is an action/adventure/mystery/crime/survival flick starring Tom Berenger, Kirstie Alley, Clancy Brown and the legendary Sydney Poitier, who starred in this film after taking a hiatus from acting for several years. The movie shifts tone a little too much, especially toward the end, but it's the kind of action movie you'd expect from the late 1970s rather than the late 1980s, which might explain why nobody has heard of it, and why it's actually pretty excellent.…

They're not real bands, but their songs are real, and they kinda sorta performed them. Some of their songs even made it to the radio and into the cultural fabric. These are your favorite fictional bands from your favorite music movies from the Blues Brothers and Eddie and the Cruisers to Spinal Tap and The One-ders. If only they can escape the death monkeys that haunt their dreams....…
