Commentary Track: Mad Max

It was 45 years ago that Max Rockatansky, as played by a babyfaced Mel Gibson, first hit the deserted roadways of a near future Australia. Sure, he was more miffed than mad in his first big screen go-round, but director George Miller's debut feature MAD MAX made enough of a mark that it's still inspiring devotees nearly a half century after its debut. And with this week's release of FURIOSA, we thought it was a perfect time to dip into the archives and look back to the time when Miller made Mel Mad!

Commentary Track: Escape from the Planet of the Apes

With the impending release of a new PLANET OF THE APES adventure, we thought it was a perfect time to dip into the archives and watch an entry from the original APES series. Listen separately or watch along with us as we talk through 1971's ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES, the third film in the cycle and one with a supremely depressing ending! We had a lot of fun while delving into some serious corners, and we hope you'll join us on the journey!

Commentary Track: The Flintstones (1994)

For our latest commentary track, we talked through 1994's THE FLINTSTONES. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the Steven Spielberg-produced cartoon adaptation was a summer smash, with the perfectly cast John Goodman and Rick Moranis playing Fred and Barney. Listen separately or watch along with us as we delve into the mists of the Stone Age (or 1994), pointing out behind-the-scenes trivia and other anecdotes along the way!

Civil War

The MovieFilm boys reconvene to unpack writer-director Alex Garland's controversial and conversation-inducing new film CIVIL WAR! Does the dystopian tale of a United States in disarray live up to its high concept, or is it more less clever than it thinks it is? Zaki and Brian are ready to discuss. But that's not all! We also discuss the trailers for the new JOKER sequel and TRANSFORMERS prequel, unpack the legacy of the late O.J. Simpson, and much more!

Commentary Track: Ghostbusters II

The boys are back! With a new GHOSTBUSTERS sequel about to hit theaters, we thought it was a perfect time to visit the summer of '89 and rewatch their FIRST follow-up, GHOSTBUSTER II. It remains a polarizing flick 35 years after its debut but we still think there's lots to love about the second GB flick, from its re-teaming of the titular quarter to the spooky special effects and more. Listen separately or watch along with us as we talk through behind-the-scenes stories, amusing anecdotes and other stray observations!
