Put on your skull ring and get ready to slam evil! For our latest commentary, the MovieFilm boys look back at 1996's THE PHANTOM, the comic strip adaptation starring Billy Zane in a purple leotard went unloved during its initial release but has embraced by a cult audience in the quarter century since. This is an old fave for Zaki but it was new to Brian, so listen in to hear our takeaways. It's a breezy chat filled with behind-the-scenes stories, interesting factoids, and lots of laughs!

THE SUICIDE SQUAD is in in theaters and on HBO Max, and we're here with our thoughts on James Gunn's gory, goofy superhero splatter-fest. Does it improve on the earlier film from 2016? Give it a listen to get our takes. Plus: Early reaction to the new Marvel series WHAT IF...? on Disney+, thoughts on the new documentary VAL, the animated film BATMAN: THE LONG HALLOWEEN, and much more!

For our latest commentary, the MovieFilm boys take a look back at CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER, the movie that ushered Marvel's star-spangled superhero into their cinematic universe ten years ago.

And whether you're watch along or listening separately, don't worry, we can do this all day.

As the curtain comes down on July, the MovieFilm boys have reconvened to talk through the latest news and reviews out of Hollywood: With Scarlett Johansson suing Disney following BLACK WIDOW’s simultaneous release in theaters and streaming, we take stock of whether the hybrid release strategy was a good idea.

It's no walk in the park as the MovieFilm boys embark on a treacherous trek through JURASSIC PARK III, which hit theaters 20 years ago this month. Listen separately or watch along as we work through the original JURASSIC trilogy closer, directed by Joe Johnston and featuring Sam Neill reprising his iconic role as Dr. Alan Grant, and determine whether it's worthy of its polarizing reputation or not as bad as people think (or, perhaps, a little bit of both?). There's lots of fun and and laughs to be had, and if you end up hallucinating about talking velociraptors at the end of this, hey, don't blame us!

With BLACK WIDOW now in theaters and marking the solo debut of Scarlett Johansson's superspy superhero, we set our commentary time machine to 2010 and Natasha's first appearance in IRON MAN 2.

Today we celebrate INDEPENDENCE DAY's 25 anniversary! With the Roland Emmerich-directed alien invasion opus hitting the quarter century mark this weekend, we thought it was a perfect time to hop in our fighter jets and give the space monsters a hearty, "Welcome to Earth!" Listen separately or watch along as we talk through our memories of this seminal smash hit starring Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, and Bill Pullman, pausing to appreciate all the ways we love it so very much.

The latest FAST & FURIOUS flick is in theaters and...we haven’t seen it. So in lieu of a spoiler-filled discussion about Dominic Toretto’s latest wheels-out escapade, we engage in some introspection on the enduring appeal of the FAST saga, while also taking some big swings on what likely happens in the new film. But that’s not all! Hear discussions on the trailers for Netflix’s new MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE animated revival and the DC Comics sequel THE SUICIDE SQUAD!
