    Blackhat

    Blackhat

    Extended Edition continues with Micheal Mann's Blackhat! A colossal failure, both critically and financially, over the years Mann retooled the film, creating a new cut of the film that improves it significantly by adding and reordering scenes.

    Daniel Rubio of Reel Chums joins Derick to discuss the film, comparing and contrasting both versions of the film.

    Alien³

    Alien³

    We continue the our mini-series Extended Edition by looking at the Assembly Cut of Alien³. After a complicated pre-production and an even more troubled production plagued by studio interference David Fincher disowned his first film.

    However the Assembly Cut, complied years later brought to light a version closer to his original vision that served as a powerful conclusion to the original Alien trilogy.

    Perry Constantine, host of Superhero Cinephiles and Japan on Film makes his first appearance on the show!

    Doctor Sleep

    Doctor Sleep

    We kick off our mini-series Extended Edition! Over the next two months we'll be looking at alternative cuts of films, beginning with the Director's Cut of Doctor Sleep. Former host and horror hound Alan Torres returns to talk about Mike Flanagan's full vision.

    The sequel to The Shining, coming decades later, the film crashed and burned at the box office. But with nearly thirty minutes of added footage is there a version of this film that succeeds where the theatrical edition failed?

    The Toxic Avenger (1984)

    The Toxic Avenger (1984)

    Beloved by some, and utterly unknown to others, this 1984 cult classic is an indie in the truest sense, made cheap and dirty.

    Matt K from CinemaJaw returns to break down this Troma staple. We discuss how it's aged poorly, how it hasn't, and low budget genre films acting as a launchpad for burgeoning filmmakers.

    Moonfall

    Moonfall

    Happy April Fools! For our annual so-bad-it's-good episode Matt from The Matt and Mark Movie Show joins me to talk "Moonfall." The last gasp of a dead genre from the 90s and 00s, and one of the most expensive independent films ever it crashed hard at the box office.

    Inherently flawed, and seemingly written by an AI, there is still a lot to treasure in this bizarre conspiracy thriller.
