Movies, Films and Flix

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Martha Coolidge's 1983 cult classic Valley Girl. This movie is better than it has any right to be and that is because of Coolidge's confident direction and a cast and crew who worked incredibly hard to make this $350,000 budgeted movie a success. We love Valley Girl because it was supposed to be a stock 1980's stock sex comedy, but was turned into a thoughtful and romantic movie featuring a career making performance from an 18-year old Nicolas Cage. If you are a fan of Valley Girl you will love this pod because we did a ton of research and did our best to honor this charming film.

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're predicting the 2009 Academy Awards. Our annual trend of predicting decade-old awards continues on the podcast, and in this episode you will hear us talking about Slumdog Millionaire, The Wrestler, and famous actors crushing grapes. What we love about the 2009 Academy Awards is how it completely ignored The Dark Knight (aside from Ledger), and proceeded to nominated movies like The Reader for Best Picture. The 2009 awards marked a significant change in the Best Picture format, and we love how the Academy finally got around to nominating the superhero film Black Panther in 2019

You voted for it, and we delivered! The MFF podcast is back, and we're celebrating our 175th episode by talking about the 1992 cult classic Captain Ron. We've made it a new habit to talk about a Kurt Russell movie on every 25th episode (starting with Big Trouble in Little China on our 150th episode) and we had a great time talking about Ted's Island, chili dogs and the importance of enunciating when saying "guerrillas." In this podcast, we answered every listener question we received and dug through all the facts about Ron to figure out who exactly he is (We're still not sure who he really is). If you are a fan of Captain Ron you will love this podcast.

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Joel Schumacher's 1995 superhero movie Batman Forever. Batman Forever is a bonkers film that features lots of neon, overacting and insane action scenes involving incredibly long grappling hooks. We love how wild this movie is, and appreciate how Tommy Lee Jones, Jim Carrey, Val Kilmer and Nicole Kidman embraced the insanity and produced all-in performances that have left us with many questions and theories. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about pre-battle sandwiches, black light gangs and the security at Wayne Manor. If you are a fan of Batman Forever you will love this podcast.

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 1992 cult classic Encino Man. We're big fans of this movie and embrace its earnest attempt to tell a story about a caveman helping two dorks become cool. In this episode, we talk about Steve Coozer, food groups, and Pauly Shore's brilliant engineering skills. We also come up with a bunch of weird theories and discuss the Pauly Shore cinematic universe (Encino Man, Son in Law, In the Army Now) which features random appearances of Brendan Fraser's Link character.

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the excellent 2018 superhero flick Venom. We love this movie and appreciate how Tom Hardy dove into the role and managed to make a head eating glob of goo likable. In this podcast you will hear us talk about tater tots, symbiotes and the negatives of owning a car wash. If you are a fan of Venom you will love this podcast. Also, we put together the greatest superhero squad of all time.

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the 2014 action-horror film The Guest. We love The Guest and think director Adam Wingard did a fine job blending elements from The Terminator and Halloween together and creating something new and exciting. The movie gets better with each viewing, and it's left us wanting more adventures featuring Dan Stevens and Maika Monroe battling each other while exchanging fun dialogue. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about tubes of death, jogging long distances and whether or not we liked working on film sets.

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about the B-movie classic The Manitou. We love this movie because it's an unironic little film about an evil and ancient spirit growing on a woman's neck. The Manitou is gloriously weird, and it's probably the only film ever to feature lizard creatures, sand circles and frozen hospitals. An added bonus, is it features stellar actors like Tony Curtis and Burgess Meredith saying nonsense lines and giving stern lectures to ancient beings who happen to be evil. If you are a fan of weird horror movies you will love this pod.

The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about movies that aren't as bad as you'd think. We went through Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb and Metacritic and picked our favorite movies that have subpar scores. In this podcast you will hear about 30 Days of Night, Hell Fest, Club Dread, The Lone Ranger,Alien vs. Predator: Requiem and xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. It was a lot of fun talking about these films because we genuinely like them and don't think they're that bad (you will hear that a lot in this podcast). If you are a fan of jungle skiing, jerky aliens and Bill Paxton using lots of profanity you will love this podcast.

The MFF podcast is back and we're talking about snowmobile action scenes and the 2000 B-movie classic Icebreaker. If you are into movies featuring legendary mountain burgers, angry bosses and a bald Bruce Campbell chewing scenery you will love every second of this podcast. What we love most about Icebreaker is how director David Giancola gathered seemingly everyone in Vermont to cameo in this movie while actors Sean Astin, Stacy Keach and Bruce Campbell channeled every ounce of their professionalism to endure the experience of being in a true B-movie. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about snowmobiles, frightening fight scenes and Alexander Payne directing movies based on Avril Lavigne songs.
