featuring guest hosts Daryl Surat of AnimeWorldOrder and Rachel Pandich, author of Aspire.

Review in a Nutshell: An Indonesian martial arts movie written and directed by a Welsh man, The Raid: Redemption is not just a typical action movie. It blends drama and suspense with some of the most breath-taking and technically accomplished fight choreography in recent cinema history to create a tight, tense, thoroughly engrossing experience.

A work of staggering, artistic brilliance…

Well, maybe not. But I wrote a book. It’s a collection of short stories, and it’s available now on Amazon in the Kindle Store.

Fire up the Whizzer, because Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze 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 Mike Toole.

Review in a Nutshell: Filmed in the 70s, set in the 30s, Doc Savage feels like a film trapped in the 50s. Hampered by a small budget and an inconsistent tone, this film could have done great things, but instead it ends up being relegated to a campy adventure film for the kiddies. I love it anyway.

This movie contains:

Ron Ely, Ubermensch.

Arch-Villainy.

Cartoon Snakes.

How Mr. Miyagi Got His Groove Back

Watch out for flying net hooks, because The Karate Kid, Part II is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell: Although the details of the first three Karate Kid films are hopelessly muddled in our heads, we still enjoyed this entry in the series, which focuses even more on Mr. Miyagi’s character.

FINAL THOUGHT:

Curse you, ice blocks!

Ruining Katherin’s Childhood (Again)

Hold onto your Omega Hedrons, because Supergirl is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring the return of Katherin “the Great”.

Review in a Nutshell: A super hero film from a more innocent time, Supergirl seems painfully unsophisticated by modern standards. Nonetheless it has some interesting imagery and a plot that can best be described as “completely bonkers”.

This movie contains:

Drunken Wizards.

KILLDOZER!

A Black Magic Woman.

Where does the rocket sled go?

Fire up the rocket-sled, because TIMECOP is the greatest movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell: Ridiculous nudity, bad physics, henchmen with villainous hair, Ron Silver stealing every scene he’s in, and Jean Claude doing the splits. Truly, TIMECOP is the apex of Western film.

This movie contains:

Presented without further comment.

ERRATA: I meant Joel Schumacher, not Jerry Bruckheimer, when discussing Flatliners.

Bonus Content: Catch-22

While I’m working on editing this week’s GME episode proper, have a little bonus content to tide you over. Once again I make a guest appearance on Jon Brescia’s book club podcast, this time talking about Joseph Heller’s classic novel of war and paranoia, Catch-22.

If Loving Robots is Wrong…

Hide the freon, because Crash and Burn is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Andrew from The Veef Show.

Review in a Nutshell: A low-budget science fiction slasher film, Crash and Burn cribs more from The Terminator than from earlier Charles Band properties. Along with Robot Wars, this is one of many films purported to be a sequel to Robot Jox.

This movie contains:

The Future!

Hand Trauma.

Bill Moseley, Paragon of Acting Technology.

Melancholy Robots.

Revenge of the Ugly Puppy Syndrome

Fire up your motorcycle, because Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Daryl Surat of AnimeWorldOrder and Rachel Pandich, author of Aspire.

Review in a Nutshell: This movie is enjoyably terrible, and the review strays into some surprisingly intellectual territory. We are all shameless Nicolas Cage apologists. Do not believe our lies.

On Artful Dodgers and Tangerine Dreams…

Break out the vomit bucket, because The Garbage Pail Kids Movie is (definitely not) the Greatest Movie EVER!

Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring co-host Sean “Hollywood” Hunting.

Review in a Nutshell: Half heart-warming kid’s movie with a message, half boorish toilet humor comedy, this film is painfully unwatchable.
