    X-men: First Class

    Late Nights at Blockbuster We are celebrating the 15th anniversary of X-men: First Class this week. We gush over the direction, the way that it has aged, and all the actors (all but one). There are a couple of big plot holes/quibbles even though this is a comic book movie and we are already suspending our disbelief. Everyone breaks out as a a star after this movie so our acting categories was a little lengthy. As if we needed more evidence that we are losing our minds in our old age, we ask ourselves in the middle of the podcast if we did an X-men ranking podcast. (Byers was correct, we did it back in 2023.) https://open.spotify.com/episode/6baWVhw8ZCscwBgSnIpQUN?si=wTeuLKUwQ7S0InesqLdirQ  Intro/Outro music by friend of thepodcast Seth Gilbertson.

    Top Gun

    Late Nights at Blockbuster Top Gun  We’ve got the need…the need for quoting lots of movie lines and driving a little faster when Danger Zone starts playing. Because the pattern is finally clear and so we’re coming in for much more than just a fly by as we dive deep into the 80s classic Top Gun. Byers sets a new record for times he tries to combine acting categories or make up new ones, and Troy actually contains himself on the scenes and quotes…no really we promise this is him containing himself when it comes to this movie. And eventhough Byers is not the biggest fan of this one, everything is still all good here on the Phileo Podcast, no one here has lost that loving feeling.  Intro/Outro music by friend of thepodcast Seth Gilbertson.

    Captain America: Civil War

    Late Nights at Blockbuster Underoos! Our newest episode is a Late Nights at Blockbuster on Captain America: Civil War. For all that we love about this movie we've got a few bones to pick with whoever edited this movie and some of the story choices leave a little to be desired. However, there is a ton of our favorite scenes, lines, and action moments as this is one of our favorite Marvel movies. We are proud of ourselves for not turning it into a full Daniel Bruhl and Chadwick Boseman appreciation podcast. And we would be remiss if we didn't compare Chris Evans bicep flexing to Matthew McFadayen's hand flexing. Intro/Outro music by friend of the podcast Seth Gilbertson.

    Scream

    Late Nights at Blockbuster  Scream  Do you like scary movies?Because we don’t really like them for the most part, but we love this one and can’t wait to talk about it. So just follow the rules and we’re sure you’ll survive as we discuss the 30th anniversary of Scream.  Intro/Outro music by friend of thepodcast Seth Gilbertson.

    The Fast and the Furious

    Late Nights at Blockbuster We are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the movie that launched one of the most unexpected franchises ever, The Fast and the Furious. As you can imagine, the Drax award is very short on this one. You don't watch these movies for the dialogue. This movie also includes one of our favorite casting what-ifs, even if it is barely believable. Byers utters one of the truly great lines in the history of our podcast when discussing an actor in Recognize My Face.

    2001 Movie Draft

    Deep Thoughts on Shallow Subjects 2001 Movie Draft It’s the beginning of a new year, and so we are back once again drafting movies from a quarter century ago. It’s getting more and more painful to think about the movies that came out 25 years ago, but it was one of the years at the height of our movie watching and so we have plenty to talk about including some of our all time favorite movies at the top of this draft, and then plenty of guilty pleasures by the end.
