This week the guys dive deep into the world of the South Korean/American film known as Snowpiercer. In the distant future the world has been thrown into a ice age and the only remaining humans ride in a train that never stops as it goes around the whole world. The front end is the super rich and powerful, the back end the poor and the weak. The backend has had enough and is going to fight their way to the front and change the way things are. They'll stop at nothing to get there no matter the cost. It's a rich movie that really explores how far you would go to survive. Please download and listen in as the guys really get into the movie and discuss it from top to bottom.

This week the guys go back to the 1980's to give some major love to the one and only John Hughes. We watched Sixteen Candles, a simple story about Sam (Molly Ringwald), whose entire family forgets her 16th birthday because her older sister is getting married the next day. Next thing we know, we're following Sam for the next 24 hours, bringing us a debaucherous party with a drunk Asian foreign exchange student, giving her panties to the king of the nerds, and falling for the crush of her dreams. It's one crazy day! So join us and listen in as we remember why there can only be one John Hughes.

This week the guy boarded the worst/best plane ride cinema has ever offered: 2006's Snakes on a Plane. The movie that is only worth the watch to see Samuel L. Jackson say lots of funny things and kill bunches of CG snakes! Best. Movie. Ever. We also discuss the Man of Steel: Batman vs. Superman, the new beautiful Maleficent trailer, and Spooky's massive fear of snakes. Yea, it's a good one this week! So please download and enjoy with us!

What we get is a rather fun creature feature with tons and tons of actors who have gone on to become huge stars. Over all a pretty fun flick. The guys also talk Star Wars and more dumping on WB and their "plan" for DC Comic films. Just another average week.

So please download and enjoy as the team wonders how Milla Jovovich actually pronounces her name and also figures out that a Three Musketeers movie never really had anything to do with The Three Musketeers.

Original broadcast date April 22, 2016. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2016/04/movie-issues-exit-to-eden/
This week the crew sits down and watched one of the worst movies ever made, 1994 Exit to Eden. You remember! The one where Rosie O'Donnell and Dan Aykroyed are cops who go undercover at a BDSM Sex Island. Yea, that one! It's so bad. Two movies in one and neither movie is good. So please download and enjoy all this crazy.
Original broadcast date April 8, 2016. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2016/04/movie-issues-seventh-son/
This week the crew gets down and dirty and goes on adventure with the 2015 fantasy flick, Seventh Son. The movie where Julianne Moore plays the queen of evil witches, who escapes the pit she was imprisoned in by professional monster hunter, Jeff Bridges, decades ago. He must hunt her down and destroy her before she turns the world into darkness. He recruits young Tom, the seventh son of the seventh son, to help him. Yea.... it's one of those. Fun special effects, decent plot and interesting characters, but was a huge flop. Sometimes it can't be helped. But please download and enjoy!!
Original broadcast date March 25, 2016. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2016/03/movie-issues-the-batman-superman-movie-worlds-finest/
So this weekend Batman v Superman finally opens after two years in the making. If you go and find yourself disappointed for whatever reasons at least you can come home and watch this 1998 direct to video movie: The Batman Superman Movie: World's Finest, the first meeting of The Dark Knight and The Man of Steel in the animated world, and I'm sure it's still a better watch than the movie you saw this weekend. So please download and we discuss this movie and speculate all about BvS.

Yup! It's another James Bond flick this week. With the new Bond movie opening today, Spectre, we thought lets do another Bond movie just to get all the Bond synergy moving together. So we chose 1971's Diamonds Are Forever, where Bond gets involved with diamond smuggling, which of course leads to world terrorism plot he had no idea he was looking for. As much Bond films go. So please download and enjoy as we muddle though Diamonds Are Forever!
