People...WE DID IT! WE HIT 200 EPISODES!!!!!! I can't believe that we finally made it, but we did. If you had told me back in 2019 that we would be here in 2023, let alone have made 200 episodes of the podcast, I would have told you we were crazy for even trying this again. But this is a special episode, because Chris "TV Nerd" Evanko has returned …

It's another Hall of Fame, but arguably the biggest and most important one we've ever done. We've covered a lot of big directors on this channel, from Michael Bay to Paul Thomas Anderson to Christopher Nolan to David fincher & more. But today, Nathaniel Ahart and newcomer Ryan Maguire join up with Dom to talk about the one, the only, the great Mart…

We're heading into the fall, and we're in that weird time period where summer is over, but it's still warm out.

We've got a lot of excellent movies from some of our favo…

The summer is winding down, and we've got one more blockbuster to wrap up the summer season. Unfortunately, it's from DC, but the good news is that it's an origin story that's almost entirely divorced from what came before. Dom is joined once again by Dontre aka DJ Tarantino to discuss the latest film from DC, Blue Beetle starring Xolo Mariduena fr…

Wow, it's hard to believe the summer's almost over. But we're at one of the most unique points of the summer, the first weekend of August. It's a unique weekend, because some of the biggest and most popular movies have opened in this slot, including Guardians of the Galaxy, both Suicide Squad movies and most recently Bullet Train. And with this yea…

It's the movie event of the summer! And possibly the last, with the ongoing SAG-Aftra strike causing an industry wide shutdown and preventing stars from doing press, attending premieres, promoting or starring in any of the films they star in. Several films have been delayed with productions grinding to a halt, which makes the double release that oc…

A rather necessary surprise. Dustin "The Duster" Mason joins Dom to talk about one of the most unexpected surprises of the year: an R-rated studio comedy that went to theaters and was hysterically funny. Despite not being as good as some of the gems we've gotten in the past, "Joy Ride" the directorial debut of Adele Lim, with a script by Cherry Che…

Happy fourth of July everyone!

It's arguably the most hyped up movie event of the summer. The true end of the DCEU as we know it. Dom is joined by Dontre James aka Tarantino & Unyolo Movie Blogs to break down arguably the most fascinating and most talked about superhero movie going into 2023: DC & Andres Muschetti's "The Flash." After years of going through different directors, …

We're back with the next installment of our summer series, and this time we're returning to one of our respective favorite settings.

Both HBO originals, both incredibly original, both took the world by storm the last few years, and both of which are the last of an incredible run of HBO,…

The second installment in the 2023 summer series concerns another long running franchise that we love, Fast & Furious. Back in 2021, Dom & Chris watched all 9 Fast & Furious movies leading up to the pending ninth installment. Little did they know what was on the horizon. Now, Dom is joined by Luk of Luk Reviews to break down the 10th installment in…

March Madness is upon us people! No, not the American sport tradition, this is the Talkin' TV March Madness!

Dom is joined by Luk of Luk Reviews to discuss the long awaited pre…

Naturally, for the craziest movie of the year so far, we had to get the craziest panel yet. Dom is joined by two of his oldest friends, Dustin "The Duster" Mason & Dontre "Tarantino" James to break down easily one of the most ridiculous ideas for a movie in a long time, one that stretches the "based on a true story" concept so far the term is pract…

What's going on guys, we're back with another week, which means we've got another podcast, which means another movie to watch. What's the movie? A Marvel movie...oh no. The fact that's the reaction that we have towards the MCU should make the writing on the wall pretty obvious, but the almost unbearable amount of negative reactions that came from t…

We're 2 weeks into February, Superbowl Sunday is passed, it's almost time for Valentine's Day, so before the return of the MCU next week with Ant-Man, we decided to go over what some may view as a romance and what others will view as it should be, stalker porn, that being the latest Netflix viral sensation, You. Originally over at Lifetime, the sho…

It's February, which means 2 things, Superbowl and the return of the blockbuster! Blockbusters used to be reserved exclusively for the summer but they start as early as February now, and we're kicking it off with the return of the one, the only, M. Night Shyamalan, with his 15th feature film, Knock at the Cabin! The film marks the first time Shyama…

It's that time of the year again people! That time when WE get to do our top 10 lists. And by we, I mean me & Chris, the common folks, who are booting and rallying to continue to give you, the fans, the content that you deserve. Or just a wind tunnel for our own thoughts, but who really cares at this point. Chris & Dom break down the year of televi…

The year is officially started people with HBO's kick-off to their 2023 slate, as well as one of the most anticipated adaptations of the last few years with "The Last of Us." Based off the extremely popular Naughty Dog Video Game released in 2013, an film adaptation floundered in development hell before HBO finally got the rights to the game. The s…

We're back people! After a much needed two weeks off in the post holidays craziness, we are back to a whole new year of content creation and fun!

And that's it! Another year, another season in the books people! Chris is back to talk to Dom about a sequel to one of their first ever podcast episodes from that legendary run back in 2019 when things felt so fresh and cool when things felt so new and not bogged down in pandemic hell...and it now belongs to Netflix. Greaaaaaat. Glass Onion: A Kniv…

Happy post holidays everyone! Only 2 days left of 2022, and since our recording schedule this holiday season has been a bit rocky, I'm doing something a little different this year. We will be doing a two part Season 4 finale, which is ironic because our midseason finale back in June also featured this guest for half and then Chris for the second pa…

A movie 13 years in the making. Literally. Eli joins Dom once again to talk about James Cameron's long awaited sequel to his massive blockbuster success, "Avatar: The Way of Water." After a lot of deliberation, waiting for certain special effects and technology to be perfected, working around actor's respective schedules, then the easy task of shoo…

It's that time, people! With only three weeks left in the year of 2022, we're here to start breaking down the awards bait movies, and we're starting with one that may have gotten a little overhyped, but not for the reasons you may think. Kristen aka Ms. Filmingo joins Dom to break down the new Darren Aronofsky movie, the comeback vehicle for one Br…

What's going on guys! It is December, and we are officially about to wrap up 2022!

Dustin "The Duster" Mason joins Dom to break down 2022 as a year in comparison to previous years, as well as breaking down…

Happy Post-Thanksgiving everyone! Hope you all enjoyed your turkey day, as we begin the countdown to the end of the year! And what better way to spend the holidays than with family, eating lots of food, and watching a nice family movie. Because that's exactly what legendary director Steven Spielberg's latest film "The Fabelmans" is, a nice family f…

What's going on everybody. On today's episode, Dom is joined once again by his old friend Eli Holicky, the second resident TV expert, to break down the latest peak TV show from a network that nobody expected, that being Paramount's "Yellowstone." The show is currently airing its 5th season on the show, having premiered back in 2018. Created by Tayl…

Oh boy, here we go. This was always going to be a tough one for a variety of different reasons, the least which being Chadwick Boseman's tragic passing. But somehow, someway, with everything possibly going against them, Ryan Coogler and team pulled off a movie that should not have worked as well as it did. The truth is that Wakanda Forever might ju…

Well this is one that none of us were expecting. Chris & Dom sit down to break down the Roku Original, "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" a fictionalized biopic of the titular parody musician who was made famous for making style pastiches of songs but changing the lyrics, usually in a polka fashion with his famous accordian. This movie takes all the tr…

Happy Halloween everyone! The timing on the release of this episode sure worked out nicely! We're here to talk about one of our favorite times of the year, that of course being Halloween! The time where the spookiness comes out, mostly in people's costumes, and where we get to talk about and watch some of our favorite movies! Dom & Chris break down…

Lo & Behold, we actually have a DC movie worth talking about. After arguably the most tenuous year the company has ever had, being bounced around from AT&T to Discovery, to cutting half their planned content, to delaying more of their upcoming movies, to behind the scenes problems with stars, DC finally has a movie that we can safely say is a fun m…

Well, another of Chris' favorite franchises scorched to the ground. We're here today to talk about Halloween Ends, the final installment in the Blumhouse trilogy of Halloween movies, directed by David Gordon Green and written by him and Danny McBride. They act as the third official reboot of the franchise, wiping out the rest of the Halloween canon…

Well, all things come to and end. We had a great run recapping every minute of this show, and it worked well, not only because we got a Game of Thrones prequel that coincided with the last couple episodes of this podcast, but also because it seems that fantasy storytelling is making a huge comeback across all mediums. Between the Witcher and the Sa…

Well, lo and behold, we have a Star Wars show worth talking about again. It's been a rough year for one of our favorite franchises to say the least, with Book of Boba Fett & Obi-Wan Kenobi proving to be less than stellar, but things seem to be right again with the latest installment from Disney+ & Lucasfilm, "Andor." This prequel to a prequel follo…

We've arrived. Not quite to the finale, but only one more week of Talkin' Thrones before we wrap up the legacy of Game of Thrones and officially determine whether the problems of this final season were enough to torch the legacy. The Long Night wrapped up the army of the dead, and then the Last of the Starks set up a seasons worth of conflict that …

It's the battle of the B's as we kick off October. With only 3 months left in 2022, Dom is joined once again by his good friend Joe of Guy at the Movies to talk about two of the movies that dropped this weekend, that being Bros from Nicholas Stoller, Billy Eichner & Judd Apatow; and Blonde from Andrew Dominik.
