Movie Nonsense – Show #34 – 4/25/22 – From & From: MAD MAX
MEMORY, MAD MAX, DOG, THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT and the cheesiest action-sploitation movies Hollywood has ever drummed up. All will be discussed.
Mad Max: Fury Road
Movie Review – Tully
This film is a return to form for Jason Reitman.
Movie Review – Kate Can’t Swim
A smart and surprising relationship drama with an accomplished cast.
Josh Helman & Jennifer Allcott – The TMG Interview
Josh Helman and Jennifer Allcott join Movie Guys Paul Preston and Adam Witt to go deep with stories from the indie film set of KATE CAN’T SWIM.
Movie Review – Dunkirk
The film feels as cold as INTERSTELLAR with not one character to genuinely care about.
La La Land – The Defense Rests
“La La Land” is on its way to a rout at tonight’s Academy Awards, and I welcome it.
THE TOP TEN FILMS OF 2015
Funny how that happens when we first see a film, read a book, listen to music or even appreciate a work of art. The question being, is it worth coming back to?
THE MOVIE SHOWCAST – “YOU WEREN’T EVEN SUPPOSED TO BE THERE!” (w/Dan Bakkedahl) – “Krampus”
Showcast Episode 129: Everything about why movies are great is in this episode. Actor Dan Bakkedahl (“Trumbo”, “The Heat”) joins us the whole show for a preview of “Krampus” and a lengthy look at movie news. Plus, a trailer for another Christmas horror movie about your parents’ parents visiting over the holidays – “Grandpus”! And Bakkedahl’s Banksy and “Harold and Maude” stories are for the ages.
THE MOVIE SHOWCAST – “L.A. BOAT PARTY!” (w/Andy Peters & Paul Osborne) – “Spy”, “Entourage” & “Insidious: Chapter 3”
Showcast Episode 103: It’s a week of Greatest Hits Guests as The Movie Guys welcome the triumphant return of Andy Peters, who sits in for previews of “Insidious: Chapter 3”, “Spy” & “Entourage”. Then director and popular guest of the Showcast Paul Osborne jumps in The Admiral’s Club to talk about the production of his latest film, “Cruel Hearts”. Also, a round of Retractions and a crap-ton of “Mad Max: Fury Road”.
TO & FROM MOVIE REVIEW – “MAD MAX: FURY ROAD”
The Movie Guys send friends of the show Dono Cunningham and Matt Samardge to a screening of “Mad Max: Fury Road” in New York City. They record their thoughts going to and from the movie, which plays out like that experience you have walking the streets of NYC, talking movies. Will they like it? (we’ll see) Will we see Dono’s face? (no).
MOVIE REVIEW – MAD MAX: FURY ROAD
The setting along with the vehicles are gloriously post-apocalyptic and the soundtrack rouses us like never before. But where is Max in all of this?
THE MOVIE SHOWCAST’S 100TH EPISODE! (w/Jeffrey Baldinger) – “Mad Max: Fury Road” & “Pitch Perfect 2”
Showcast Episode 100: The Movie Guys celebrate one hundred episodes of The Movie Showcast! Stand-up comic Jeffrey Baldinger sits in the whole show with house band The Boobé Sisters. New releases “Mad Max: Fury Road” and “Pitch Perfect 2” get the preview treatment, plus The Boobés fire up a round of “Name That Movie” with classic film music, plus a clip retrospective a la ’70s sitcoms.
WHAT IS IT WITH THE FOURTH ONE?
Sometimes a story will continue on into a fourth installment (and beyond). That’s where it gets interesting.
