Episode 167 (Quantum of Solace)
The MFF podcast is back, and we're talking about the Bond film Quantum of Solace. If you've listened to the podcast before, you will know that we love the Bond franchise and will take any opportunity to talk it because the Bond movies have so much personality. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about its rushed production, unfinished script and Jason Bourne mimicry that just doesn't feel right. We also go in-depth into its positives (there are many) and wish Olga Kurylenko had a bigger role because her character is the most interesting part of this movie. If you are a fan of James Bond movies you need to listen to this podcast.

Episode 166 (Hackers)
The MFF podcast is back, and we're talking about the 1995 cult classic Hackers. We love this movie and had a great time rewatching, researching and talking about this gem of a movie. This may sound insane, but I think it has aged beautifully and I love how the costumes, hacking and dialogue feel like they're coming from another dimension (viva la butter zone). The weirdness of it all is endearing, and I think the chemistry of the cast makes the movie feel ageless and crispy in the dark (another in-joke). If you are a fan of Hackers you will love this podcast.

Episode 165 (The Strangers: Prey at Night)
The MFF podcast is back and we're talking about the very underrated horror film The Strangers: Prey at Night. The film flew under the radar when it hit theaters, but it's starting to gain a following with The A.V. Club, Bloody Disgusting and Collider trumpeting it's ability to hit above its weight and thrill like none other. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about the thrilling set pieces, legitimate performances and the swimming pool scene that everyone is talking about (you need to watch it). If you are a fan of underrated horror movies you will love this episode.

Episode 162 (High Noon and Rio Bravo)
The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about High Noon and Rio Bravo. These western classics are very similar, but very different (does that make sense?) as they both focus on outnumbered lawmen dealing with murderous rogues and younger women. We love the intensity of High Noon, and we really love the laid back charm of Rio Bravo. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about their production, plot differences and cultural effects (Tarantino loves Rio Bravo) of these two great films. If you are a fan of classic westerns you need to listen to this podcast.

Episode 161 (Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York)
The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. These Christmas classics introduced the world to an industrious kid who had to do deal with neglectful parents and possibly immortal thieves who can survive pretty much anything. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about improvised tarantula theatrics, home renovation costs and the alternate dimension that these movies take place in. We were very lucky to have Jay Cluitt of Life Vs. Film and The Lambcast join us for this episode. If you have some free time check out the Scream franchise episode we recorded for his podcast (The Lambcast). You will love it.

Episode 160 (Reign of Fire)
The MFF podcast is back, and this week we're talking about a post-apocalyptic dragon movie that we love. Reign of Fire is the most grounded dragon movie ever made (we think), and stars A-listers Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey and Gerard Butler. What we love about this movie is how it features a tattooed Matthew McConaughey driving around England in an attempt to kill dragons, while Christian Bale takes everything seriously (which we love). The movie looks brilliant, has solid CGI and features the longest jump in the history of cinema. If you are a fan of the movie you need to listen to this podcast.

Episode 159 (Batman Returns)
The MFF podcast is back, and this week we are talking about one of the darkest superhero movies ever made. Tim Burton's Batman Returns was a financial success in 1992, but its dark themes and lack of Batman turned many people off and left them never wanting to eat fish ever again (The Penguin eating fish = horrible). We love this movie and the all-in performances from Michelle Pfeiffer and Danny DeVito never get old. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about the muddled production process, Keaton cutting his lines and Christopher Walken saying the word "Bauble."

Episode 158 (Deep Blue Sea Commentary)
The MFF podcast is back, and this week we are releasing a very odd commentary track. If you are a fan of Deep Blue Sea then you will love this commentary, and we recommend you listen to it while watching Deep Blue Sea. We figured after talking about it for years we should just release an incredibly in-depth commentary track that breaks down every aspect of the movie and builds upon all the great stuff we've written about it. If you are a fan of Deep Blue Sea you need to listen to this podcast episode.
