Twenty-five years ago, Hollywood churned out another remake of “The Most Dangerous Game,” the classic tale of man-meets-man, man-hunts-man, hunter-becomes-the-hunted… you know, that old chestnut. Coming just a year after Jean-Claude Van Damme played a certain Hard Target, Surviving the Game combined the same basic plot with a fish-out-of-water story as a character actor from the city (Ice-T) is brought to the wilderness to run for his life from a group of other character actors (the late Rutger Hauer, Charles S. Dutton, Gary Busey, John C. McGinley, F. Murrary Abraham) with predictable results. But is this ‘90s throwback worth tracking down, or should it be left on the VHS shelf next to those jars of heads? “In the cinematic justice system, hunting humans for sport is considered especially heinous. The dedicated podcasters who rate these vicious films are members of an elite squad known as the Most Dangerous Victims Unit. These are their stories.” Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert! These discussions will be spoiler filled and may explicit language, so consider yourself warned.

It’s Comic Con weekend and our spidey-senses are tingling with news and trailers from San Diego! But first we’re tackling the third second Spider-Man movie, Spider-Man: Far From Home! Picking up where Avengers: Endgame left our broken hearts, the latest spidey-flick starring Tom Holland sees our friendly neighborhood wall-crawler on a Euro-trip, with a Mysterio-us new player on the scene. But does this movie provide a satisfying denouement to Phase Three as we bid arriverderci to the Infinity Saga? Or is it bullocks? And which trailers from Comic Con make our peters tingle? Spoilers: it’s all of them!

A handful of years ago Netflix jacked their prices and started making TV shows and movies. It didn't take us long to realize that they are much better at making TV shows. Yet for some reason we keep going back to the well of Netflix movies. Most likely it's because they are free. Sometimes they’re good, sometimes they're bad , mostly they’re just free. What will “I am mother” hold? Listen in and find out!

Thirty years ago, Batman swept into movie theaters, ushering in the modern era of comic book movie-making. Directed by Tim Burton, starring Jack Nicholson as the Joker, Kim Basinger as Vicki Vale, and Michael Keaton as the man who launched fifty thousand letters protesting his casting as Bruce Wayne. Despite a troubled production which saw a writer’s strike, budget overruns, stolen film reels, and intense skepticism of the film’s tone and direction, Batman became the biggest movie of the year and fifth highest-grossing film of all time by the end of its run. Batman became one of the biggest movie franchises of the ‘90s, with another film by Burton and Keaton, and two more directed by Joel Schumacher with Val Kilmer and George Clooney taking turns in the Batsuit. But thirty years later, after Christopher Nolan’s super-successful trilogy with Christian Bale, Ben Affleck’s less-successful turn, and the casting of Robert Pattinson as The Batman in Matt Reeves upcoming film, does this version still light up our Batsignal? Or is the joke on us?
