Review in a Nutshell: Ugly and incomprehensible, the David Lynch version of Dune is a muddled mess that lacks even the redeeming qualities of David Lynch’s usual cinematic weirdness. On the plus side, Sting in a Thong!
Let your freak flag fly, because Freaked is the Greatest Movie EVER!

NOTE: Matthew’s laptop broke a fan during the recording, so the quality of his track isn’t ideal. We apologize for the buzzing sound.
Review in a Nutshell:Freaked is a truly strange comedy with incredible special effects, amazing production design, and a surprisingly diverse cast. It has to be seen to be believed.
Activate the weather control balloons, because Son of Godzilla is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell: A film that includes baby dinosaur shenanigans, tropical hijinks, and rampaging arthropods, Son of Godzilla is one of the goofier entries in the Showa series. Many fans revile it for the introduction of the titular character, but the film is still something of a guilty pleasure here at the Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast.
Set up your hilarious jungle booby-traps, because Solo is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Review in a Nutshell:Solo may have a cliche premise (“creating the ultimate super-soldier”), but the movie is well-acted and well-executed. It’s got great stunts, solid special effects, and an interesting setting, too. Also, Adrien Brody!?!

Review in a Nutshell: A reality-bending, Lovecraftian pastiche that never really comes together, In the Mouth of Madness is an interesting failure. It’s not nearly as bad as everyone claims it is, though.
And thus we conclude our H.P. Lovecraft theme month. Thanks for listening, Lovecraft fans, and eldritch dreams to one and all.
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.”
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.
