Watch out for cults and conspiracies, because Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Zoe from the Internet.
Review in a Nutshell: Visually opulent, narratively over-stuffed, and full of questionable politics, Brotherhood of the Wolf (2001) blends a dozen different genres into a single action film, sometimes succeeding and sometimes stumbling along the way.
Watch out for Wookalars, because The Private Eyes (1980) is (probably not) The Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Sasquatchulous.
Review in a Nutshell: The final film starring the combined comedy duo of Don Knotts and Tim Conway, The Private Eyes (1980) is an oddly directed “manor murder mystery” spoof that suffers from a distinct lack of funny despite the talent involved.
Hold on to your bodies, because Upgrade (2018) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the title or the movie poster above to download our review of the film, featuring Daryl Surat of AnimeWorldOrder.
Review in a Nutshell: A darkly cynical science fiction thriller with a slice of body horror, Upgrade (2018) is uncomfortably prescient about our looming cyberpunk dystopia. Strong casting, acerbic humor, and excellent physical performances all round out a very solid little film.
Hold on to your headstones, because The Return of the Living Dead (1985) is the Greatest Movie EVER! Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Jeremy Kaufmann of Violence Mars.
Review in a Nutshell: A low-budget horror-comedy with a punk rock soundtrack, The Return of the Living Dead (1985) is both intensely political and acerbically satirical. “Send more cops.”
Watch out for evil parallel universe versions of yourself, because The One (2001) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Tom “finalfuryk” Pandich.
Review in a Nutshell: Cool in concept but thoroughly meat-headed in execution, The One (2001) highlights Jet Li’s incredible skills as a martial arts action star but draws unfavorable comparisons to The Matrix (1999) in the process. Let the bodies hit the floooooooooooooor!
Hang on to your space hamburgers, because Sayonara, Jupiter (1984) is the Greatest Movie EVER?
Click on the tiny DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring “Celebrity Translator” Neil Nadelman.
Review in a Nutshell: Mix excellent model-work and strong production design with one of the most half-baked science fiction scripts in the solar system, and you’ve got Sayonara, Jupiter (1984) – a film whose reach far exceeds its grasp.
Watch out for magic tricks, because Lord of Illusions (1995) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Franklin Raines of Oddity Game Seekers.
Review in a Nutshell: Crossing supernatural horror with a film noir sensibility, Lord of Illusions (1995) has strong production design and good performances from a bevy of character actors, but it suffers from sluggish pacing and an inconsistent tone. It’s an interestingly messy film.
Grab a nice glass of water, because Real Men (1987) is the Greatest Movie EVER?
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Gerald Rathkolb of AnimeWordOrder.
Review in a Nutshell: A science fiction / buddy cop comedy by a first time director, Real Men (1987) suffers from truly baffling narrative, directorial, and editing decisions that make the film the cinematic equivalent of being kicked by a horse. It’s a weird one.
Hold on to your priceless, divine artifacts because Jason and the Argonauts (1963) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Matt “St. Mort” Kelly of Geekscape.
Review in a Nutshell: Although the film suffers from erratic pacing and an incomplete narrative, Jason and the Argonauts (1963) is nevertheless a landmark achievement in stop-motion animation special effects, and it captures a strong sense of mythological splendor with its spectacle.
Hold on to your old-timey antique weapons, because Ready or Not (2019) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Zoe from the Internet.
Review in a Nutshell: A gruesome, darkly satirical and very pointed horror-comedy that also serves as a reverse “home invasion” film, Ready or Not (2019) wears its politics on its sleeve.
