The Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast
Reviewing only the finest films in the history of cinema. And robots, too.
Hold on to your ancestral daisho, because The Challenge (1982) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring the Internet’s Oli “ShinInvidNinja” Bulmer.
Review in a Nutshell: A pulpy action film with an unusual amount of talent behind it, The Challenge (1982) is ultimately more violent and ambivalent and less Orientalist than other examples of “gaijin-sploitation” from the same time period.
Hold on to your humanity, because Colossus: The Forbin Project is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the title or the movie poster above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host “Celebrity Translator” Neil Nadelman.
Review in a Nutshell: Sharp, stylish, and perfectly paced, Colossus: The Forbin Project is a science fiction thriller from 1970 that feels all too relevant in our modern surveillance state.
Watch out for space antlions and meteor showers, because Enemy Mine is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the title or the movie poster above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Kara Dennison.
Review in a Nutshell: Aside from some shoe-horned action sequences at the beginning and end of the film, Enemy Mine is a contemplative science fiction film about friendship and survival that is buoyed up by an outstanding performance by Louis Gossett Jr.
Hang on to your hang-gliders, because Condorman is (probably not) The Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Vtuber extraordinaire Sasquatchulous.
Review in a Nutshell: A relic of an era when Disney was floundering both critically and commercially, Condorman is a spy spoof / adventure film aimed at kiddies that can’t manage to land a consistent tone and that ends up being a rather dull experience despite some excellent stunt driving sequences.
Watch out for acid rain, because Creepozoids is the Greatest Movie EVER?
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Jeremy Kaufmann (@whydoisay).
Review in a Nutshell: A low budget and unapologetic Aliens knock-off, Creepozoids, is a strange and inexplicable exercise in film-making that will leave your scratching your head.
Trust in your fists, because Righting Wrongs (1986) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the title or the 88 Films UK Blu-ray release cover above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Kyle “@UFO_canada” Foster.
Review in a Nutshell: Nihilistic, cynical, and achingly sincere, Righting Wrongs (1986) is a modern masterpiece of action cinema that boasts exceptional composition, cinematography, and fight choreography. It’s also completely bonkers, from a narrative standpoint.
Strap on your six-shooters, because Ghost Town (1988) is the Greatest Movie EVER?
Click on the Bluray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Phillip.
Review in a Nutshell: Hampered by a troubled production within a collapsing studio, Ghost Town (1988) is a “Weird Western” horror movie with an identity crisis whose moments of clear potential sadly fall short. Cool poster, though.
Hold on to your humanity, because THX 1138 is the Greatest Movie EVER?
Click on the Blu-ray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host “celebrity translator” Neil Nadelman.
Review in a Nutshell: Some strong performances and excellent mise en scène can’t prevent this 1971 dystopic science fiction film from George Lucas and Warner Bros. from being a bit of a slog. THX 1138 is a fascinating and sometimes baffling film, but not exactly an easy viewing experience.
Hold on to your robot juice, because Alita: Battle Angel is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the Blu-ray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Daryl Surat of AnimeWorldOrder and Rob Lantz.
Review in a Nutshell: A true rarity, Alita: Battle Angel is an anime-to-live-action adaptation that managed to navigate a decades-long “development hell” while still remaining faithful to the spirit of the source material. It’s a great little science fiction / action film for a multitude of reasons.
Hide the sugar, because Them! (1954) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Bill Bossert.
Review in a Nutshell: Often imitated by never duplicated, Them! is a tightly paced science fiction thriller that kicked off the “giant insect” phase of Atomic Horror films in the Fifties.
