Hold onto your broadswords, because Fire and Ice is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Gerald “Badonkadonk” Rathkolb of AnimeWorldOrder.

Review in a Nutshell:  With an uninspiring storyline and an odd visual aesthetic, Fire and Ice skates by on the strengths of Frank Frazetta’s design.  Be warned:  negative stereotypes and gratuitous booty abound.

Move Over, Stanley Kubrick…

Posted on August 19, 2011 by gooberzilla

Buckle up for a beat-down full of bullets and babies, because Drive Angry is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the poster or the movie title above to download our review of the film, featuring…a pair of mysterious, crime-fighting podcasters!

Review in a Nutshell:  One of my cohosts called me a crazy person for implicitly comparing this film to A Clockwork Orange.  He’s probably right.

Bonus Content: Avengers Assemble!

Posted on August 12, 2011 by gooberzilla

Time for some more kiddy cartoons!

CLICK HERE or on the image above to download a bonus episode in which Sean “Hollywood” Hunting and I gush all over Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

Review in a Nutshell:  Avengers is one of only a handful of Marvel animated properties that does justice to the source material.  It’s a great animated series that can be enjoyed by children of all ages, with sharp writing and strong characterization.

FINAL THOUGHT:

The theme song is @#$%ing terrible, though.

Bad Highlander, starring the Worst Highlander

Posted on August 5, 2011 by gooberzilla

Break out the katanas and the rocking guitar solos, because Highlander: The Search for Vengeance is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuing Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell:  Beautifully animated but structurally crippled, Highlander: The Search for Vengeance is still not the worst Highlander property, even if Colin MacCleod is hands-down the worst Highlander.  Paul blames the script; Sean blames the director.  A fabulous time is had by all.

This movie contains:

Chainsaw-wielding Cannibal Mutants.

Druid Ghosts.

Nice Mullet, Jerk.

Sweet Lovin’, Eighties Style.

FINAL THOUGHT:

The best thing to result from this anime.

The Seduction of Shark-Man

Posted on July 30, 2011 by gooberzilla

Batten down the hatches, because Cabin Boy is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell:  Do not be fooled by that enticing poster art.  Cabin Boy is neither “hilarious” nor “fun”.  It will make your brain hurt, and not in a good way.

This movie contains:

Ice Monsters.

Cupcakes.

Russ Tamblyn, Siren of the Deep.

Bonus Content: Three-Person Pony Apocalypse

Posted on May 26, 2011 by gooberzilla

To heck with movies, it’s time to talk about some kiddy cartoons.

CLICK HERE or on the image above to download a bonus episode in which guest hosts Clarissa and Gerald from AnimeWorldOrder help Paul review My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Review in a Nutshell:  Our topics of the discussion run the gamut of gender roles, feminism, intertextuality, mythology, and the nature of strong characters and clever writing.

We explore thoroughly what it means to be adults enjoying a cartoon meant for children.  This podcast is a counterpoint to the one published by Jeremy and company over at Destroy All Podcasts DX.

Eldritch Horrors: The Call of Cthulhu

Posted on March 17, 2011 by gooberzilla

(Banner courtesy of Michael Scally. Thanks, Mike!)

Hold onto your sanity, because The Call of Cthulhu is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,

featuring Clarissa and Gerald of Anime World Order and Jeff Tatarek of the Lather’s Blather podcast.

Review in a Nutshell:  The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society outdid themselves with this one.  The Call of Cthulhu is perhaps the most faithful Lovecraft film adaptation to date, and it’s also a wonderful piece of silent film-making.

ERRATA:  La Sombra Prohibida actually means “The Forbidden Shadow”, not “The Forbidden Sleep.” 

FINAL THOUGHT:

Cthulhu Mythos got you down?  Try Elder Sign!

Screw you, Moon!

Posted on February 19, 2011 by gooberzilla

Grab your glowing walnuts, because Message from Space is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the podcast, featuring the Most Dangerous guest host, Patrick Macias.

(Buy Otaku USA Magazine.  Buy Otaku USA Magazine.  Buy Otaku USA Magazine.)

Review in a Nutshell:  Space walnuts.  Lizard men.  Silver-skinned villains.  Blowing up the moon.  Space hot-rodding in space-dragsters.  What the heck did I just watch? 

This movie contains:

Drunken Vic Morrow.

Lizard Men with Whips.

Racist Robots.

This movie no longer contains:

The Moon.  (Take that, Moon!)

FINAL THOUGHT:

This was the expression on my face while watching this film.

INSERT INSANE LAUGHTER HERE

Posted on January 2, 2011 by gooberzilla

 

Hide your secret decoder rings, because The Shadow is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Katherine the Great.

Review in a Nutshell:  Similar to films such as The Phantom and The Rocketeer, The Shadow is a period adventure film featuring action, romance, and a nice sense of style.  Some of the CG special effects haven’t aged so well, but the movie is still fun for children of all ages.

This movie contains:

Alec Baldwin as Fu Manchu.

The man responsible for Mongolian Barbeque.

Psychic Knives.

Invisible Skyscrapers.  (You can’t see it.  It’s invisible.)

This movie does not contain:

David Bowie’s Codpiece.

Cage Rage: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

Posted on December 19, 2010 by gooberzilla

Don your snazzy wizard hat, because The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the poster or the movie title above to download our review of the film,

featuring guest host Daryl “I’m not Here to Make any Friends” Surat from AnimeWorldOrder.

(Also, I guest star on their most recent episode!)

Review in a Nutshell:  The story is a bit trite, but The Sorcerer’s Apprentice stands on the strength of its special effects, its wizard fights, and Nic Cage’s bodacious fashion sense.  As family friendly films go, it’s an enjoyable little romp.

This movie contains:

Nerds getting Picked On.

Dapper Doctor Octopus.

Mind Explosion?

Nic Cage as Himself.

And thus we bring Cage Rage: The Year of the Cage to a close.  It’s been a bumpy ride.  But fear not, brave listeners, as long as hope survives, there will always be more Cage to go around.
