On the heels of Jurassic World’s record-breaking opening weekend, the MovieFilm crew are joined by special guest Sean Coyle, director of Hulu’s The Awesomes, for a discussion on the long-in-coming franchise reboot from director Colin Trevorrow and producer Steven Spielberg. Did it measure up to our expectations? After two mega blockbusters in a row, is Chris Pratt a true superstar? What would we like to see them tackle in the inevitable next Jurassic entry? We tackle it all, but in addition, we also talk up the latest Star Wars news and discuss the impressive trailer for Ridley Scott’s upcoming Matt Damon space epic The Martian. In addition to that, there’s all the fun, frivolity, and witty banter you’ve come to expect. Listen via the embed below!

With summer movie season in full swing, the MovieFilm guys have lots to say about Tomorrowland (read Zaki’s review here) and San Andreas (read his review here), two high-expectations releases that garnered very different responses from audiences. In addition, we also tackle some of the big news of the last two weeks, including David Letterman’s retirement after thirty-plus years in late night, plans to expand the Transformers franchise into a “shared universe” with spin-offs galore, word of an unwanted remake of The Fugitive, an unnecessary sequel to My Big Fat Greek Wedding, plus Zaki [...]Listen ad-free at Patreon: https://patreon.com/MovieFilmPodcast

It’s a catch-all episode of the MovieFilm Podcast as Brian and Zaki await the arrival of the much-anticipated Furious 7, which kicks off the summer movie season in a few short weeks. We’ve still got lots to discuss in the meantime, however, including our thoughts on Neill Blomkamp’s high concept misfire Chappie, as well as Liam Neeson’s latest actioner Run All Night. After that, we fondly remember the late Sam Simon, the comedy genius who shaped an entire generation’s sense of humor thanks to his work on The Simpsons, Taxi, Cheers, and so much more. We also discuss the latest headlines out of Hollywood, including word of a Secret of NIMH remake.Listen ad-free at Patreon: https://patreon.com/MovieFilmPodcast
