19 - Putting the FUN in FUNeral

Why was Peter Dinklage the only person to appear in both movies? Why did Frank Oz direct a British film? Listen, we can't answer either of these questions, but you can hear us try!

18 - Die Ubermensch

Take one part cheesy, technicolor superhero, mix in a healthy dose of dreary color palette, add a dash of Brando and a hint of Crowe, what do you have? Two very different Supermen.

16 - Mum(my)'s The Word

Remember when Brendan Fraser was awesome? Well, he never stopped, but Tom Cruise did. And it was during the new Mummy movie. We can tell you exactly when it happened. And will.

14 - A New Dawn, A New Dead

Did you guys know there's a pandemic? Well, inspired by that (and the fact we waited too long for Xmas movies), we dove into Dawn of the Dead to see what the apocalypse would look like if mindless zombies took over. It's... not far off.

12 - Dead or Alive, You're Listening to Me

Can anyone save Detroit in the future? How about in the present? Was a weird Dutch director really the best choice for a robotic police officer movie?
