Movies, Films and Flix

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.

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.

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.

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.

2018 was a fantastic year for horror films with Mandy, Hereditary, A Quiet Place. Strangers: Prey at Night, Unfriended: Dark Web, The Ranger, The Endless, Annihilation, Unsane, The House That Jack Built, Overlord, Revenge, Apostle, Ghost Stories, The Babysitter and The Ritual providing legit scares, thrills and chainsaw fights. It was such a great year we brought in award-winning horror director Zach Beckler to discuss the best horror movies of 2018. In this podcast, you will hear us talk about "new wave" horror, decapitations and hugging our Blu-ray copy of The Endless. If you are a fan of horror you need to listen to this podcast.

The world famous MFF Random Awards are back and better than ever! If you are a fan of incredibly random awards you will love this podcast because we celebrate cinematic coffee drinking, southern gentleman and characters who are just too busy to save the world. Join me (Mark), John and Megan as we unleash the randomness and discuss our favorite 2018 movies like Revenge, Widows, Ant-Man & The Wasp, Paddington 2 and Mandy. Also, make sure to check out the piece I wrote about the random awards to experience more awards that weren't mentioned on the podcast. If you have any random awards please let us know on Facebook or Twitter!

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.

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.
