In Defense of Atlas

Join us as we pull back the layers and discuss this production in-depth in what might be our most comprehensive and well-edited episode to date.

In Defense of The Wicker Man (2006)

With a Tomatometer rating of 15% and an Audience Score of 17%, The Wicker Man remake from 2006 is ripe for the defending. As our first Nicolas Cage film on the podcast, we discuss his range as an actor and his sometimes 'operatic' performances. We also compare and contrast the original film from 1974. While this could be seen as an almost obligatory episode, given so many reviewers have dunked on this film, we are determined to find some things we liked about it, and maybe give you some food for thought the next time you sit down to watch it. So grab some honey and get ready to dive into this misguided thriller with us. If you enjoy the show, please help us reach more people by dropping a review or a rating!

In Defense of Alien 3

The time has come to finally take on the film that inspired the very concept of this podcast! Dan and Aaron finally take on "Alien 3". With a Tomatometer rating of 43% and an Audience Score of 47%, Alien 3 is a prime example of what studio meddling can do to a beloved franchise. With expectations sky-high after the blockbuster success of 1986's "Aliens" fans were lead to believe that the next installment would bring the mighty Xenomorph to Earth. Turns out 20th Century Fox had other plans. More specifically, 20th Century Fox had no plans at all! With a release date set in stone before a story or script were locked in, the stage was set for box office disappointment. "Why are the innocent punished? Why the sacrifice?" Against all odds, Director David Fincher somehow managed to scrape together a film that is dark, dreary, and wildly divisive among fans. But is it all bad? Not by a long shot! 3 Times the Episode, 3 Times the Defending, 3 Times the Jokes! Let's go! If you enjoy the show, please support us by dropping a rating and subscribing!

In Defense of The Predator

Sequel Season is in full-swing as Dan and Aaron take on 2018's "The Predator" Sitting on the Tomatometer at 32% with an Audience Score of 33%, it is pretty easy to see that this film didn't resonate with die-hard or casual fans alike. However, being the most successful film of the franchise does raise a few eyebrows and prompt some investigation. Dan and Aaron discuss the fine lines Director Shane Black had to walk in order to bring this soft reboot to the big screen. They discuss the history of the franchise, the bizarre reshoots, and take a second look at stuff they didn't like about it with fresh eyes. Did nostalgia set unrealistic expectations? Is this movie actually just mad trash? Is there more good to it than meets the eye? Come find out why "The Predator" might actually be a better Predator movie than you think it is. NOTE: This episode has been flagged as Explicit due to some language from the film clips included. Assuming you're a Predator fan, this shouldn't come as a surprise.

In Defense of The Happening

Dan and Aaron are back - just in time for the world to go full-on Mad Max. Grab a hot dog and take shelter from the doom and gloom with this bizarre film. Dan and Aaron dig into the hilarious mess that is, 2008's "The Happening." With 18% on the Tomatometer, and a 24% Audience Score, this film will have you laughing, crying, and shaking your head all at the same time. Is it a comedic masterpiece, or a completely botched and misguided horror film? Close your windows, lock your doors, and let's dig in and find out. It is time once again to ask ourselves, is M. Night Shyamalan a good filmmaker? If you enjoy the show, please support us by dropping a rating and subscribing!
