Movies That Make Us Age of Geek Media

Welcome back to another week at Movies that Make Us! We’re diving deep into the well of nostalgia this week with a discussion about the 1985 Richard Donner film The Goonies. 
 
We have a blast discussing the Indiana Jones for kids movie about a group of young kids who are seeking out the treasure of One Eyed Willie, avoiding the Fratelli family, and of course Chunk and Sloth.

It’s time for another edition of Movies that Make Us and we’re giving you two movies in one episode! We’re discussing the Rise and the War of the Planet of the Apes.
Matt Reeves takes the reigns of the Apes universe for these two films and expands the universe in exciting ways, and Andy Serkis continues to be the MVP when it comes to digital characters. 
It’s an “After Dark” episode and we also discuss the TikTok shop, a little bit about Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, as well as both films, so enjoy!

Welcome back to Movies that Make Us. The newest chapter in the Planet of the Apes film hits theaters soon, so we are taking a look back at the Andy Serkis films and tonight we start with 2011’s Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
Andy Serkis is just on another level when it comes to motion caption acting and is remarkable developing the character of Caesar and laying the foundation for the next two movies that were directed by Matt Reeves. We want to know what your favorite Apes movie is, so let us know online.

Hello and welcome back to Movies that Make Us.
This week, we’re discussing Alex Garland’s latest film Civil War. This movie tells the story of a group of journalists during the final days of a modern day Civil War in America and are traveling from New York to Washington in an attempt to interview the President before the war comes to an end. This is a powerful film that we hope will be recognized by the academy at the end of the year. We highly recommend seeing this film, especially on the big screen.
What did you think of the movie? We want to hear your thoughts on the film, how it made you feel, etc. Do you agree it’s the best picture of the year so far? We want to know.

Welcome back to another episode of Movies that Make Us. We’re continuing to talk about sentient robots with this week’s episode of A.I. Artificial Intelligence. The Stephen Speilberg film is based on a short story that was originally going to be made by Stanley Kubrick.
It’s a weird hybrid film that definitely mixes these two very different directors styles and we want to know what you think. Let us know on social media or you can reach us at podcast@moviesthatmakeus.com.

Welcome back to another week at Movies that Make Us! AI is a burning topic right now and we want to talk about it for the next few episodes. The first one we discuss is Minority Report, the 2002 Steven Speilberg and Tom Cruise film about stopping murders before they happen.
 
This film still holds up really well on a technical level and the morality of the film holds even more true today. It’s one of Speilberg’s underrated films and he’s firing on all cylinders here. From the cinematography, the script, the score, the acting, it all works. It’s a futuristic noir film that is worth watching again if it’s been a while.
