Jamie, SimonUK and Ryan go back in the water - at Sea World!  It's been 40 years since this 3D film hit theaters, so what better way to watch it than in 2D with 1/10th the excitement of the original, and 2x the co-contributors?!!  It's a sequel that doesn't care what made the first one work, but it raises the stakes, finds a sunnier locale, adds sharks, half-heartedly continues the saga of the Brody family, and defies biology and physics to bring you excitement and terror!

We ponder questions of family values, romance, and what makes an ever-evolving franchise work when it passes through so many hands, and new generations get involved.  And what IS movie perfection, and why is it only seen in the two Addams Family films?

229: "The Addams Family" Comics, TV, Movies and More - Jamie and Ryan

Si and Ryan are doomed to a fate they can't escape,  It's time for more robots from the future.  Kind of dumb robots, but robots nonetheless.  It's the first post-Cameron sequel and maybe it cooked too long or something.  But it has its good spots!  But.  Anyway.

227: "The Sea Wolves" (1980) - A SimonUK Cinema Selection - w/ Ryan

Join JAL and Ryan as we get into the gin, watch a bona fide cinema classic, ponder what makes it great, and toast the hell out of each other.

Simon and Ryan ponder two of the biggest money makers of the 1990's, a pair of movies that caught the world by surprise and took cartoon violence, family strife, abandonment, and hanging with old people and found their Christmas box office miracle.  As the movies are now staples of the Holiday, we take a look to see what's under the tree.  Will we get a sweet present or hit in the face with a @#$%ing bowling ball?

SimonUK and Ryan call upon the 2021 sequel to some favorites of the 1980's.  It's a return to all the things you knew about Ghostbusters, but - like Star Wars, Mary Poppins, the Halloween franchise - it's a new generation and a welcome paycheck for familiar favorites!  Let's spring the trap and try not to cross the beams.

To wrap up Halloween 2022, Marshall and Ryan take on the more recent trilogy of sequels based upon John Carpenter's 1970's ground-breaking classic, that spanned 2018-2022.  We drive relentlessly through three movies, slashing our way through narrative complexity, taking down the multitude of ideas presented, slaying any questions about what the movie is trying to do, and staring into the abyss as we try to figure out what, exactly, is staring back.

220: "Halloween Trilogy" (2018, 2021, 2022) - a Halloween PodCast w/ MRSHL and Ryan

SimonUK and Ryan head west to dig up a cult classic!  It's a 1980's take on vampires that doesn't suck!  This film helped pivot vampires into something other than romantic, well-dressed folk and gave us hard-travelling vagabonds who might just treat you like a Capri Sun pouch.

218: "Near Dark" (1987) - a Halloween PodCast w/ SimonUK and Ryan

Well, even sparkle vampires are still still technically draculas, and that means they fit in however loosely with Halloween.  JAL and I take a bite out of the crazy hit sensation that spawned a whole industry and changed bookstores and movies.  I genuinely think this one is gonna surprise you.

217: "Twilight" (2008) - a Halloween PodCast w/ JAL and Ryan

SimonUK and Ryan cover both the 1942 and 1982 versions of a story sure to instill cat scratch fever.  Our curiosity doesn't kill us as we check out two films, each a  classic in its own way, as relevant meow as they were then!  Join us as we compare and contrast, and ponder workplace safety around werebeasts!

216: "Cat People" (1942) and (1982) - a Halloween PodCast w/ SimonUK and Ryan

It seems somehow inevitable that SimonUK and Ryan would cover this 80's horror cult favorite.  And what's not to like?  We slither our way into more Halloween spookiness with a discussion of caves, England, worms, wyrms, a young Hugh Grant and the relative value of a Dynasty star on your cast.

215: "Lair of the White Worm" (1988) - a Halloween PodCast w/ SimonUK and Ryan

The podcast goes to the dogs as Jamie and Ryan talk 2022's furriest super-offering.  Join us as we sniff around for a take on family fun in Metropolis as Superman's lesser-known pal gets his own feature and DC/ WB tries to kick-start a lucrative super franchise for the kiddos.

214: "DC League Of Super Pets" (2022) - A Kryptonian Thought Beast Episode w/ Jamie & Ryan

213: "Jekyll And Hyde" (1990)  - a Halloween PodCast w/ SimonUK and Ryan

Well.  Against all sense or reason, we did it.  Our final episode of intense coverage of Marvel's "Inhumans" comes to lengthy conclusion as we try to figure out what is happening and why and to whom and if anyone might care.  We'll ponder Rubbermaid storage on the Moon, moonquakes, and trying to use the same hallway set over and over.  Let's ponder a royal family you might just want to rise up against yourself.

208 D: "Inhumans" (2017) - Episodes 7 & 8 - A Superheroes Every Day PodCast w/ Danny and Ryan

Simon and Ryan bite into a legit 1980's cult classic that's big on mood, tone and lighting and shows rather than tells at every opportunity.  If sexy vampires are your thing, we've got a cast that fits the bill, while also selling lifestyle porn and a great score.  Join us for a movie that really makes it clear why you need a basement incinerator and an attic with plenty of storage space.
