    The Mummy Returns — Fun Spectacle or Franchise Slip? | The Binge Podcast

    The Mummy Returns tries to go bigger in every direction — more action, more mythology, and more spectacle — with mixed results. On rewatch, it lands very differently depending on who you ask. On this episode of The Binge Podcast, Joshua and Timbo  The Mummy Returns tries to go bigger in every direction — more action, more mythology, and more spectacle — with mixed results. On rewatch, it lands very differently depending on who you ask.

    The Mummy — The Perfect '90s Blockbuster | The Binge Podcast

    The Mummy (1999) remains one of the great action-adventure films of the '90s — a perfect mix of charm, spectacle, horror, and blockbuster fun. With a stacked cast, endlessly quotable dialogue, and wall-to-wall momentum, it's a movie that defined a generation. On this episode of The Binge Podcast, Joshua and Timbo revisit the film they grew up with, celebrating its iconic status, Brendan Fraser's star-making performance, Rachel Weisz's brilliance, and why the movie still works so perfectly decades later. They debate, laugh, and argue — all while raising a glass (or more) of their favorite alcoholic beverage and toasting to cinema… and to surviving the franchise.🍸 The Binge Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/TheBingePodcast/ Joshua Ryan's Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/MrMovieGuy86/

    Pitch Perfect 3 — Franchise Fatigue, Chaos & an Unnecessary Encore | The Binge Podcast

    With Pitch Perfect 3, the franchise takes a hard left turn away from a cappella competition and into chaotic action-comedy territory — and not in a good way. What once felt scrappy and fun now feels detached, lazy, and strangely uninterested in what made the series work in the first place. On this episode of The Binge Podcast, Joshua and Timbo break down why Pitch Perfect 3 feels like a sequel that shouldn't exist. They discuss the abandoned premise, the tonal whiplash, the lack of stakes, and why the movie feels far weaker than the original — and even its already uneven sequel. They also debate whether the film works at all as a finale, what it says about franchise exhaustion, and how far you can stretch a concept before there's nothing left to harmonize.

    Pitch Perfect 2 — Bigger Songs, Bigger Spectacle & Losing the Underdog Energy | The Binge Podcast

    With Pitch Perfect 2, the Bellas return bigger than ever — bigger performances, bigger competitions, and a much larger sense of spectacle than the original film. The guys break down how the sequel shifts from scrappy underdog story to full-blown franchise mode. They talk about the massive musical numbers, the international competition angle, and whether going bigger helped the movie soar or made it lose some of the charm that made the first one work. We also dive into the nonstop jokes, returning character dynamics, and the moments that feel more like escalation than evolution — debating whether Pitch Perfect 2 is a worthy sequel or the start of the franchise chasing its own success.

    Pitch Perfect — The Movie That Made A Cappella Cool (Briefly) | The Binge Podcast

    The original Pitch Perfect introduced audiences to the Barden Bellas, competitive a cappella, and a surprisingly heartfelt underdog story wrapped in crude jokes and killer mashups. On this episode of The Binge Podcast, we break down why Pitch Perfect worked as well as it did — from its ensemble chemistry and musical energy to its balance of sincerity and absurd comedy. We talk about Anna Kendrick's breakout performance, Rebel Wilson's scene-stealing chaos, and how the film manages to feel both aggressively silly and genuinely earnest.
