Rise of the Planet of the Apes - Would This Movie Still Be Good Without Andy Serkis? - Ep. 79
Ep. 82
•
This week we're talking about RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, one of the few films whose top billed actor's performance was completely motion-captured. Are we fans of this reboot?
Shoutout to James Caldwell and Ben Dubois for our new intro music! James is a kick-ass producer and Ben wrote and recorded the guitar parts. If you like it, please leave a comment! Also be on the lookout for a full release of the intro music. It will be the whole piece and have links in the description for Ben and James. We didn't get to use all of it for the intro, but it will have it's own separate file on here for everyone to enjoy!

01:32:13||Ep. 81On this episode we kick off the Monkey Business mini-series with Tim Burton's PLANET OF THE APES (Yes, we know apes are not monkeys, just go with it). Can Mark Wahlberg lead this franchise, or do the titular apes outshine him? We have thoughts, many thoughts.
80. Doctor Sleep - Why Did Everyone SLEEP on This One? - Ep. 77
02:04:45||Ep. 80We're closing out our Stephen King mini-series with Mike Flanagan's DOCTOR SLEEP. Flanagan took on the seemingly impossible task of following up a stone-cold classic; Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. Does it pay off, or should the Overlook hotel have stayed closed forever?

02:21:31||Ep. 79This week we're talking about Stanley Kubrick's...THE SHINING! There was so much to discuss in this episode that it ended up being our longest yet. Honestly, how could it not be with all the outlandish conspiracy theories associated with literally every frame of this film. It's one of our favorite episodes thus far and we hope you enjoy it. Please let us know YOUR thoughts on 'The Shining' in the comments.

76. It - Is This One of the Best Stephen King Films? - Ep. 73
02:01:47||Ep. 76----more----We're keeping it King this week with quite the heavy-hitter...IT! That's right, Pennywise is cackling/drooling his way onto our podcast and we couldn't be more happy (terrified) to face him head-on. Does Andy Muschietti's adaptation live up to the source material and is it better than the 1990 miniseries? Find out on this episode.
75. Silver Bullet - An Underrated Gem? - Ep. 72
02:09:17||Ep. 75This week we're talking about our first film of many based off of the works of Stephen King! That's right, this mini-series is all about the King of horror, and we're kicking it off with an underrated gem: 'Silver Bullet'! Strap in, this is going to be a fun bunch of films.

01:48:25||Ep. 74This week we're rounding out our Greek mythology mini-series with Tarsem Singh's visually stunning IMMORTALS! Greek mythology was strangely in-vogue during the time this film was released, so is this movie the best of the bunch?
