The Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast
Reviewing only the finest films in the history of cinema. And robots, too.
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.
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.
Hold on to your color-coded insecticides, because Phase IV (1974) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host “Celebrity Translator / Bringer of the Apocalypse” Neil Nadelman.
Review in a Nutshell: A technically adept but thematically muddled film, Phase IV (1974) can’t seem to decide whether it wants to be an ecological horror tale, a creature feature, or a bit of psychedelic science fiction. As a film, it ends up being less than the sum of its parts.
Hold on to your interdimensional magical gems, because Psycho Goreman (2020) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Kyle “ChibiUFO” Foster.
Review in a Nutshell: A horror-comedy with the sensibilities of a Nineties kid’s show crossed with a video game (complimentary), Psycho Goreman (2020) has strong comic timing, great production design, and solid performances from its cast.
Watch out for rats, because Split Second (1992) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie title or the DVD cover above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host “Celebrity Translator” Neil Nadelman.
Review in a Nutshell: An unlikely mash-up of cyberpunk science fiction, buddy cop comedy, and supernatural serial killer movies, Split Second (1992) gleefully blends genres into a strangely compelling and fun little 90 minute romp. Come for the chocolate, stay for the anxiety.
Fire of up your flying turtles, because Gamera the Brave (2006) is the Greatest Movie EVER! Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Tom “Finalfuryk” Pandich.
Review in a Nutshell: A kid-friendly film with a surprising degree of emotional depth, Gamera the Brave (2006) nevertheless failed to find its footing commercially and critically, and so it may end up being the final Gamera film ever produced…
Hold on to your compact discs, because I Come in Peace (1990), also known as “Dark Angel”, is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the VHS cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Alex Case of the Anime Explorations podcast.
Review in a Nutshell: An exuberantly goofy film, I Come in Peace blends buddy cop action with science fiction / horror elements and an acerbic sense of humor as well as strong casting. Come for the gangs of drug-peddling yuppies, stay for the mayhem.
A podcast 3, 5, or 12 years in the making! Join Tom, Mike Toole, and I as we delve deep into two versions of a very pretty but thoroughly inexplicable animated film from 2005 and 2009, respectively. CLICK HERE or on the movie poster above to download our review of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, a story that is brimming over with Planet Fever™.
Hold on to your alien eggs, because 20 Million Miles to Earth (1957) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie lobby card or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring “Celebrity Translator” Neil Nadelman.
Review in a Nutshell: A creature feature in which the movie monster is the most sympathetic character in the entire film, this otherwise by-the-numbers science fiction thriller is buoyed up by strong production design and the incredible stop-motion animation of Ray Harryhausen.
