Commentary Track: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves
There’s a brand new Robin Hood movie in theaters now, but we’re not here to talk about that! Instead, our commentary track is for the Robin who stole from the rich while also stealing our hearts, 1991’s Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Join Brian and Zaki as they watch the smash hit movie directed by Kevin Reynolds and starring Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman, and Alan Rickman, and hear them exchange their own personal memories of a time when Kevin Costner could make the world believe that England’s greatest outlaw had an accent from somewhere in rural Iowa, and when a big budget Robin Hood movie could command the pop culture zeitgeist in a way that’s, frankly, a bit perplexing. We love this flick, and we hope you have fun listening, either through the embed below or via iTunes, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, and Spotify!

Jordan and Sylvester Stallone. But that’s not all! Hear Zaki’s thoughts on Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, plus remembrances of the late Stan Lee and William Goldman, word that another shared universe of movie monsters in the offing, and much more!

Commentary Track: Rocky IV
Yo, Adrian! With Creed II on the way, the MovieFilm boys have reconvened for another commentary track, this time looking back at the pinnacle (or nadir) of the Rocky series: 1985’s Rocky IV! Listen separately or watch along with us as we thrill to the iconic Sylvester Stallone boxing sequel, along with all the ‘80s fashions, training montages, power ballads, and oh yeah, weird sentient robots therein.

Ep. 159: Bohemian Rhapsody
With November upon us, and with Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody burning up the box office charts, Brian and Zaki have reconvened to let you know if it will rock you. In addition, get our belated takes on last summer’s here-and-gone actioner Skyscraper, featuring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson doing his very best John McClane impression. But that’s not all! We also give our thoughts on Disney’s big streaming plans for their Marvel and Star Wars universes, the many many many Avatar sequels James Cameron is planning to unleash, Harrison Ford’s comments on the next Indiana Jones adventure, and so much more!

Commentary Track: Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
The man with the hat is back, and the MovieFilm boys are back with their commentary track for 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom! The first Indy sequel reunited star Harrison Ford, director Steven Spielberg, and producer George Lucas, and took our intrepid archaeologist on a darker journey than anything audiences were expecting at the time, and while some aspects don’t hold up as well as we’d like, it’s still a rip-roaring good time that we’re excited to talk through and share our memories, observations, and anecdotes. You can hear the track on its own or watch the movie along with us, but either way, check it out via the embed below or at iTunes, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, or Spotify.
