    X-Men: The Last Stand

    X-Men: The Last Stand

    X-Men: The Last Stand was supposed to be the final entry. Brett Ratner replaced Bryan Singer. They pulled out all the stops. They spent all the money. The result was something Fox deemed bad enough to literally write it out of existence with another film. First time guest Ben Hill joins to the podcast to share his thoughts.

    Antz (1998)

    Antz (1998)

    Antz was DreamWorks' first, and very accelerated, attempt at animation. They cast famous actors for the voices. They spent loads of money. And it still managed to be overshadowed by its Pixar rival, A Bug's Life. History has not been kind to its legacy. Guest Ryan Moran returns to share his opinion.

    Diamonds Are Forever

    Diamonds Are Forever

    After the one-off George Lazenby experiment, EON brought back the original James Bond. Diamonds Are Forever would be Sean Connery's sixth and last (official) outing as 007. The result was a film that is banana nut bread crazy. It's definitely not good but strangely fun to watch. Guest Peter Baldeo returns to the podcast to rant about Diamonds Are Forever.

    Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

    Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

    Hold onto your potatoes! Released forty years ago, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom was originally the black sheep of the trilogy. Its reputation shifted over the years, particularly after the release of the 4th film. Steven Spielberg himself dislikes it. Does it deserve more love? Producer Eric Taylor returns to the podcast to share his thoughts.

    Iron Man 3

    Iron Man 3

    Iron Man 3 made a ton of money but instantly became one of the most divisive Marvel films. Many were upset over its treatment of the Mandarin. Others loved how it focused on Tony Stark's personal battles. Which makes it perfect to discuss! Guest Garret Ohringer returns to the podcast to proclaim his love for this.
