The MovieFilm Podcast

This week we tackle two new releases: smash-hit video game sequel SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2 and the multiversal mind-job EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE. Listen in to hear our thoughts on both, plus Will Smith fallout, new listener letters, and much more!

Sony’s MORBIUS flies into theaters this weekend, and the MovieFilm boys have their thoughts on the latest Marvel would-be-franchise. Plus: THE LOST CITY, WINNING TIME, Bruce Willis retires, and Will Smith slaps — but not in a good way.

The MovieFilm boys reconvene with our belated, in-depth discussion on THE BATMAN! With the Matt Reeves-directed superhero epic starring Robert Pattinson currently burning up the box office charts, we delve into whether the Caped Crusader's latest lives up to its legacy. Plus: The first OBI-WAN KENOBI trailer, thoughts on Netflix's THE ADAM PROJECT, A24's X, and much more!

In this episode, Zaki has some quick thoughts on THE BATMAN (though our full-length, spoiler-filled review will have to wait just a bit longer until Brian is back from his travels). In the meantime, we touch base on our recent viewing escapades, talk some headlines, and delve into the MovieFilm Mailbag and responses to our commentary track for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES! We hope you enjoy the discussion, and that you'll join us next time for our deep dive into THE BATMAN!

For our first commentary track of 2022, the MovieFilm boys celebrate the release of Batman's new movie by talking through his LAST one, 2012's THE DARK KNIGHT RISES. The Christopher Nolan-directed trilogy-capper starring Christian Bale has proved polarizing in the ten years since its release, and we have many thoughts shaped by a decade of perspective. Either watch along or listen separately as we talk through Easter eggs, behind-the-scenes factoids, and our general reactions and reflections on this epic-length Batman adventure!

UNCHARTED has found its way to the top of the box office, and we have an in-depth discussion between video game buff Brian and non-gamer Zaki about where the movie adaptation starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg rises and falls. But that's not all! We also discuss the new trailers for JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION and DOCTOR STRANGE: IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS. Plus: Is MoviePass actually mounting a comeback? And quick takes on PAM & TOMMY, BEL-AIR, PEACEMAKER, REACHER and more!

For our first February show we have an early reaction to Roland Emmerich's new disaster flick MOONFALL and belated thoughts on how Disney+'s THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT is carrying the STAR WARS story forward. Plus: Joss Whedon's career immolation, remembering Meat Loaf, Louie Anderson, and Howard Hesseman, and much more!

25 years after the original, the MovieFilm boys are ready to slice into the latest SCREAM! Longtime listeners know neither of us are big horror movie fans, but this is one franchise we can always make an exception for. Does the fifth Ghostface flick live up to legacy? Hear our spoiler and non-spoiler thoughts. Also: PEACEMAKER, LICORICE PIZZA, and remembering the late, great Bob Saget!

The MovieFilm Podcast rings in the new year with our much-delayed spoiler discussion on SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME! It's taken a little while thanks to a covid-induced holding pattern, but we're back to offer our thoughts on the smash hit superhero opus. Plus: DON'T LOOK UP! MACGRUBER! Remembering Sidney Poitier, Peter Bogdanovich, and Betty White!

For the final MovieFilm of 2021, we plug into THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS and offer our thoughts on the polarizing new entry in the Warner Bros. franchise! Plus: BEING THE RICARDOS, WEST SIDE STORY, thoughts on the latest trailer for THE BATMAN, and an update on recent events in Brian's life! As always, send us your questions and feedback, and we hope you have a safe and happy new year!
