The Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast
Reviewing only the finest films in the history of cinema. And robots, too.
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.
Get ready to wave some hippy crystals, because
Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is (definitely not) the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: Technically astonishing but emotionally empty, Final Fantasy may have worked better as a video game rather than a full-length theatrical film. A weak plot and cliche characters diminish the power of the film’s extraordinary visuals.
COMING SOON!
“Who put this giant cheese grater in my spaceship?”
Celebrating three years and 175 episodes of pure podcasterization, we break out the oars, because Waterworld is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: Dryland is not a myth!
NOTE: I forgot to mention that David Twohy, author of the execrable Chronicles of Riddick, co-wrote the script for Waterworld.
I blame him entirely for all of the excesses in the Extended Cut.
Grease up your Bio-Port, because eXistenZ is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: An inspired and unsettling piece of metafiction, eXistenZ is also a sexually-charged, reality-bending science fiction film. Long live the New Flesh!
This movie contains:
Mutated Amphibians.
Exciting Advances in Game Technology.
Symbolism, maybe?
Ewwwwww! Don’t stick your tongue in my Bio-Port!
EDIT! This podcast contains:
Jeremy, from Destroy All Podcasts DX. I’d insert another witty caption to go with this picture,
but I’m too entranced by the sheer manliness of his passionate bass playing.
Beware of stock footage in the swamp, because Bride of the Monster is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Review in a Nutshell: This movie contains Wood-en acting, lousy sets, rubber animals, and a veritable cavalcade of absurdities. I love it dearly.
This movie also contains:
SCIENCE!
Shaved Yetis.
Atomic Monsters?
