The MovieFilm Podcast MovieFilm Podcast

With the impending release of a new PLANET OF THE APES adventure, we thought it was a perfect time to dip into the archives and watch an entry from the original APES series. Listen separately or watch along with us as we talk through 1971's ESCAPE FROM THE PLANET OF THE APES, the third film in the cycle and one with a supremely depressing ending! We had a lot of fun while delving into some serious corners, and we hope you'll join us on the journey! 

For our latest commentary track, we talked through 1994's THE FLINTSTONES. Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the Steven Spielberg-produced cartoon adaptation was a summer smash, with the perfectly cast John Goodman and Rick Moranis playing Fred and Barney. Listen separately or watch along with us as we delve into the mists of the Stone Age (or 1994), pointing out behind-the-scenes trivia and other anecdotes along the way!

The MovieFilm boys reconvene to unpack writer-director Alex Garland's controversial and conversation-inducing new film CIVIL WAR! Does the dystopian tale of a United States in disarray live up to its high concept, or is it more less clever than it thinks it is? Zaki and Brian are ready to discuss. But that's not all! We also discuss the trailers for the new JOKER sequel and TRANSFORMERS prequel, unpack the legacy of the late O.J. Simpson, and much more! 

This week the MovieFilm boys talk through 1999's THE MUMMY, released 25 years ago next month! Listen separately or watch along with us as we break down the production history, story development and other ephemera surrounding the Brendan Fraser action-adventure opus! Does it hold up to the passage of time? Is it worthy of its beloved reputation? We have plenty of thoughts. 

GODZILLA x KONG: THE NEW EMPIRE is currently smashing up movie theaters, and the MovieFilm boys have some thoughts on the latest blockbuster from Warner Bros./Legendary's MonsterVerse! Plus: Remembering Louis Gossett Jr., another visit to THE MATRIX may be coming, quick thoughts on the trailers for the remake of THE CROW, the new ALIEN and BEETLEJUICE sequels, and more!

Sony's spectral spookchasers are back in theaters with GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE, and the MovieFilm boys are here with our thoughts on this fifth flick in the franchise. Plus: quick takes on the ROAD HOUSE remake, X-MEN '97 on Disney+ and the sobering documentary series QUIET ON SET. All that, plus Hollywood Headlines, Listener Letters and more!
