On this episode of Small Screen Heroes, Batch and Logan are joined by the amazing Nate Peterson. The three discuss the recently released Captain Marvel trailer, then discuss how the DCEU is just sucking due to Henry Cavill’s departure from the Superman role. Allegedly.
Batch and Logan bring us up to speed on Amazing Spider-Man, then Logan talks about his time at Philly’s Keystone Comic-Con and how he finally got to meet Tom Velez. Lucky fuck. Then the meat of the show begins as all three dissect the extremely popular Spider-Man game on the PS4. Since Logan is a cocksucker and didn’t finish the game (so much for being a Spidey fife), he hops off while Nate and Batch press forward to discuss the game’s third act. Spoilers, of course. Thwipp thwipp.
Chad C graces us with his presence one more time before he goes to Europe to get kidnapped and turned into a sex slave. Four movies. Four Reviews. Two man-boobs.
Law and Ammon are back for a new episode of Angry Drunk Movie Dads. Ammon’s drinking Pumpkin Beer, and Law’s working and talking to the Union Skirt. Minor updates since school’s back in session, but luckily iPads aren’t far away — so YouTube Round-Up is still a thing. Ammon shows his kids STAND BY ME while Law scars at least one of his kids with an epic Drive-End experience watching THE MEG.
Other shit we talk about: DRAGON PRINCE, AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER, GARFIELD & FRIENDS, Instagram Round-Up, and the THE SIMPSONS: Treehouse of Terror! Plus, we both successfully completed Movie Homework with week with a family viewing of PREDATOR. Never has quoting Arnold one-liners been this much fun (or has it???).
In advance of the remake due out before year’s end, the boys take a look at the classic Italian Giallo, Suspiria. The boys talk the film’s influence, their experience with it and how the Italian economy must have really been taking a beating, what with all the 90-year-old-hookers abound.
All this and more, so download now!
And so that you can watch along with us, next time on Movie Homework is Dial M For Murder
Week 3 brings more confusion as to who is good in the NFL. The Bills beat the Vikings?! 9-6 Titans over the Jags? The Patriots lose again, and the Dolphins continue to surprise. Then we make our Week 4 picks. Also a little Tiger Talk. And EMo D emerges.
Remember to call us with your questions/comments/suggestions for the show #708-316-8822…
The idea seemed like a simple one. With Rocky having defeated Russia in Rocky IV, brothers/writers Jim and John Thomas wondered what was left for him to face and conquer. You add the caveat of an alien being dropped off on earth to hunt, and you have the initial ingredients of the Predator franchise. Being kicked off by opponents Arnold Schwarzeneggar and his band of commandos in 1987, the Predator character has lived on in movies, comics, and video games. With writer/director Shane Black bringing the character back to the screen this month, I bring Matt and Alyx on to look at the cinematic incarnations of the character, and cap it off with a look at The Predator, determining whether he has been used up to its full potential.
In order to have a franchise, you need a fantastic original film. And I don’t feel like I’m spoiling a thing by saying that Matt, Alyx, and I feel the original Ah-nold starring Predator film not only fits the bill, but is also a bonafide action classic. But like most films, it wasn’t exactly easy to make. Join the three of us as we dissect the film, and also discuss the making, writing, and casting of the cinematic vehicle behind one of science fiction’s most beloved characters.
We then move on to Predator 2, where they messed with the formula by casting Danny Glover a guy who was ‘too old for this shit,’ to be Predator’s main foe. We dig deep into this sequel, as everything from its casting to the presence of Jamaicans in 1990 cinema is discussed. And what would an Aftertaste be without a little fighty-fighty?
Come back on Friday, as we discuss Robert Rodriguez’s Predators and Shane Black’s The Predator.
Note: Be sure to check the bloopers at the end of this show, as I include a clip recorded in between podcasts where we all watch -me for the very first time- and discuss the much debated new Joaquin Phoenix Joker screen test footage just released by Todd Phillips last week.
Law and Moreno exchange banter, try to remember what happened last week, answer some quality voicemail, review some television and a couple movies and then do their version of a Fall Movie Preview. Their version includes a lot of peeing, sounder wars, and yelling at each other.
Chad C has a rare Skip it, Stream it, See it kind of night. Which movie is which? Why are there so many beards? Why not have a pumpkin ale? The answer to all these questions is “seven”. Bye.
