The Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast
Reviewing only the finest films in the history of cinema. And robots, too.
Strap on your go-go boots and grab your mighty sword, because Heavy Metal is the Greatest Movie EVER?
Click on the poster or the movie title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest cohost Gerald Rathkolb from AnimeWorldOrder.
Review in a Nutshell: Uneven, over-sexed, and outright weird in places, Heavy Metal is nonetheless a unique animated experience. It might be even nerdier than T.R.O.N.
This podcast contains:
Terrible things, man, terrible things.
Break out the glitter body-paint, because The Apple is the Greatest Movie EVER?
Click on the movie title or the picture above to download our review of the film, featuring special guest host, Celebrity Translator Neil Nadelman.
Review in a Nutshell: Either a ham-fisted musical allegory or a piece of Illuminated propaganda, The Apple is a strange, disjointed film held together by the gooey goodness of Golan / Globus and Vladek Sheybal’s charming turn as Mr. Boogalow.
This movie contains:
Shaggy Hippies.
God?
SATAN.
An actual, actual, actual vampire?
Boot up your identity disc program, because TRON is the Greatest (i.e. Nerdiest) Movie EVER!
This episode features special guest host “Joey Snackpants” from Green Mustard Productions.
Click on the movie poster or the link above to download our review of the film.
Review in a Nutshell: Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner are digital warriors in the computer world, rescuing the pre-Internets from the evil Master Control Program. It doesn’t get much nerdier than this.
Behold the Horrors that this Movie hath Wrought upon the Web:
Tron Guy. You’ve seen it. You can’t un-see it.
Strap on your hip-blaster, because Critters is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: Critters is a charming creature feature filled with realistic human characters and outrageous alien criminals and bounty hunters. It features special effects by the Chiodo Brothers and Terrence Mann’s tremendous eighties hair.
This movie does not contain:
Jeff’s Enormous Horse, Carter.
Fire up your flame-thrower, because John Carpenter’s The Thing is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the link above to download our review of the film.
Review in a Nutshell: Brimming over with gore and paranoia, John Carpenter’s The Thing is a pessimistic vision and a luminary example of the science fiction / horror subgenre.
COMING SOON!
“You fool! My kung fu is best!”
Break out the bibs and butter, because Godzilla vs the Sea Monster is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download the review.
Review in a Nutshell: Godzilla hackey-sacks with a giant shrimp. What more do you want?
This movie contains:
You don’t have to be evil to sport an eyepatch, but it helps.
JUMBO SHRIMP!
Is that Godzilla, or a Stoned Cookie Monster?
ERRATA: “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” was actually released in 1969, so Godzilla vs the Sea Monster was actually blazing trails.
Turn on your magnetic boots, because Space Truckers is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: Due to contributions from people as varied as Stuart Gordon and Hajime Sorayama, Space Truckers is light-years better than any low-budget, science-fiction adventure film has any right to be. Its attention to detail and sardonic sense of humor make it a treat to watch.
This movie contains:
Square Pigs.
Pink Overalls.
Vernon Wells, Space Privateer.
The latest advancements in cybernetic male-enhancement technology.
Post Script:
This is what the good poster for Space Truckers looks like.
Retract your vibro-blades, because Guyver 2: Dark Hero is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: A low-budget, live-action adaptation of a long-running action / science fiction manga series by Yoshiki Takaya, Guyver 2: Dark Hero is buoyed up by great rubber suit special effects and an absolutely crazy stunt team. Mike Dent of R5 Central guest stars in this episode.
This movie contains:
Angry Face.
ANGRY FACE.
Angry face?
Gay Fishmen?
Are you a bad enough dude to wield the Glaive? Whether you are or not, Krull is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: A fantasy film with science fiction elements mixed in, Krull overcomes a fairly formulaic narrative with the help of excellent production design and strong performances by the supporting cast. It’s also surprisingly violent for a film with a PG rating.
This movie contains:
Gruesome Violence.
A Friendly Cyclops.
The Glaive!
WTF? Fire-hands? That’s not fair!
Hold onto your eyeballs, because Event Horizon is the Greatest Movie EVER?
Review in a Nutshell: Cobbling together elements from Solaris, Hellraiser, Alien, and The Shining does not guarantee a good science fiction / horror film. The movie’s strong cast and solid set design can’t compensate for a disconnected, fundamentally absurd plot.
COMING SOON!
Sho Kosugi does some funky hand-jive.
