A lighthearted take on the end of the world. A weekly podcast about apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic movies. Less of a movie review show and more of a, sometimes funny, discussion about movies and dying.

    Final Picture Show Podcast Ep: 65 War of the Worlds (1953)

    War...what is it good for? Vaporizing all of the humans! Good god! Tonight we visit the frontlines one last time as we look at the OG aliens invade movie War of the Worlds from 1953. We dive into the original casting choices, how formative the sound effects turned out to be, report on the national guard being deployed, and find the time to gush over 50s science fiction films. It is a fun time.

    Final Picture Show Podcast Ep: 64 War of the Worlds (2005)

    Heartbreaker, you've got the best of me, But I just keep coming back incessantly, Oh, why did you have to run your game on me? I guess you are just War of the Worlds from 2005. Tonight we go back 20 years, holy carp I'm old, to the world of 2005 where we find a land recovering from the shock that was 9/11. Huh...a world in shock reeling from an event that took place 4 years prior... maybe this movie does have a lot in common with the 2025 version? Tonight we tackle the important topics like: looking at the filmography of two heavy hitters in the film world, the consequences of couch jumping, if Dakota Fanning is unfairly derided, why this endings sucks a big one, how we would rewrite this movie and make it more pro military. It is a fun time.

    Final Picture Show Podcast Ep: 63 War of the Worlds (2025)

    Hanging down on the corner of 52nd and Broadway, cars passing bye and I wish one of them would hit me after sitting through 89 mins of this advertisement funded by billionaires. Less a movie and more of an example of late stage capitalism run amok---less of a review and more of support meeting for those recovering from shock. This movie is a sight to behold. Tonight we get into whateverinthehell this is and somehow make it out on the other side. God speed. Next week we look at the 2005 version of the HG Wells novel

    Final Picture Show Podcast Ep: 61 Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972)

    I would like to reach out my hand, Oombayseeyou, oombaytellyou to run (on my way, on my way), Omabadee, seemoobadeeyah told me to watch Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. Tonight we learn about the, in my opinion, best Planet of the Apes movie. The ins, the outs, the cast, the social allegory and more. Along the way we make badly timed jokes, understand that violence is a language, and learn about exposition dumps--it is a good time.

    Final Picture Show Podcast Ep: 57 Beneath The Planet of the Apes (1970)

    Going deeper, deeper underground and deep enough we shall go. Deep enough to run into Charlton Heston lookalikes and our friend Precious D @mmftg . Tonight on the show we check our pulses amidst the chaos around us, but stop and smell the roses...the roses in this cases being Kim Hunter and Ted Post and others responsible for this not bad, not good follow up to a scifi classic.
