The Greatest Movie EVER! Podcast
Reviewing only the finest films in the history of cinema. And robots, too.
Hide the sugar, because Them! (1954) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Bill Bossert.
Review in a Nutshell: Often imitated by never duplicated, Them! is a tightly paced science fiction thriller that kicked off the “giant insect” phase of Atomic Horror films in the Fifties.
Get out your bag of treats, because Man’s Best Friend (1993) is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the Bluray cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Matt “Saint Mort” Kelly from Horror Movie Night.
Review in a Nutshell: A competently made film that can’t seem to pick a tone and stick with it, Man’s Best Friend (1993) is hampered as a horror film by some questionable characterization, tonal inconsistencies, and a canine antagonist that is entirely too adorable for his murderous role.
Fire up your giant robots and get ready to “drift”, because Pacific Rim: Uprising is (probably not) the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Gerald Rathkolb of AnimeWorldOrder.
Review in a Nutshell: A film filled with baffling narrative and editorial decisions, Pacific Rim: Uprising is a prime example of what happens when artistic choices give way to financial and marketing ones.
Hold on to you Metis Cannon, because Zeiram is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Mike Dent of Vintage Henshin.
Review in a Nutshell: Despite it’s occasional pacing issues, Zeiram is a low-budget, high concept tokusatsu science fiction film that serves as a great introduction to the medium. The prop and monster designs are especially noteworthy.
Hold onto your windsurfing boards, because The Last Shark is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring Phillip (formerly known as Eeeper of Eeeper’s Choice).
Review in a Nutshell: A surprisingly compelling and emotionally gritty Italian creature feature exploitation film, The Last Shark is much more entertaining that it has any right to be considering the plot is a direct rip-off of Jaws and Jaws II.
Hold on to your helicopters, because Kong: Skull Island is most definitely the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Oli “InvidNinja92” Bulmer.
Review in a Nutshell: A gleefully violent creature-feature, Kong: Skull Island manages to leave much of the character’s colonial baggage behind. It’s a great little genre fiction romp with some surprising artistic flourishes and a wicked sense of humor.
Gas up the Sea-Doo, because Deep Rising is the Greatest Movie EVER?
Click on the DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring guest host Matt “Saint Mort” Kelly of the Horror Movie Night podcast.
Review in a Nutshell: A typical Stephen Summers action-horror movie with some questionable screenwriting and some dodgy CG, Deep Rising is none-the-less remembered fondly by many fans. I am not one of those fans.
Strap on your scuba gear, because Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring M.O.M., the Mistress of Malapropisms.
Review in a Nutshell: A groovy, boozy Seventies movie with a fashionably hard-boiled geologist protagonist and a pair of completely inert giant “dinosaurs”, Legend of Dinosaurs and Monster Birds was allegedly the most expensive science fiction film yet produced by Toei Studios when it premiered in 1977. It’s a baffling little creature feature with lots of symbolic camera-work and questionable wardrobe choices.
FINAL THOUGHT:
“Now, pretend like it’s killing you!”
Break out the fire hoses, because Graveyard Shift is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the movie poster or the title above to download our review of the film,
featuring Saint Mort of The Saint Mort Show and Horror Movie Night Podcast, both available via Geekscape.net.
Review in a Nutshell: A fun little “creature feature” that completely flies apart in the third act, Graveyard Shift nevertheless has excellent production value, good special effects, and charming performances from a strong cast of character actors.
Get the bug spray, because Kingdom of the Spiders is the Greatest Movie EVER!
Click on the DVD cover or the title above to download our review of the film, featuring M.O.M., the Mistress of Malapropisms.
Review in a Nutshell: A low-budget killer critter flick trying to cash in on the popularity of Jaws and The Birds, Kingdom of the Spiders features a surprisingly sharp escalation of tension, a surprisingly bleak conclusion, and an absolutely ridiculous number of adorable, cuddly tarantulas.
