227 - Top 10 Opening Scenes
Cinema Heroes
We're back with another Top 10! This time it's our Top 10 Favorite Opening Scenes of all time. The beginning of a movie is critical. You want to hook your audience and leave them wanting more and these films do just that. They set the tone, introduce the characters and reveal their worlds to us in such a way that it left a lasting impact. Exactly what movie openings should do. Check out the episode and you can click below to see Justin and Stew's lists. Let us know what would make your Top 10 Opening Scenes!

226 - The Matrix Resurrections [2021]
Cinema Heroes
Here's another case of a sequel no one asked for. No one except Warner Bros. Studios, that is. The movie studio, understandably, wanted another one. The previous movies were huge money makers but the Wachowskis weren't interested. WB said "We're doing it with or without you." And here we are. Was this the movie the studio was expecting? Was it the movie we were expecting? And more importantly, does the film stand up compared to the previous three? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of The Matrix Resurrections.

E225 - Constantine: City of Demons [2018]
Cinema Heroes
John Constantine gets his first solo animated film after appearing in Justice League Dark. When an old friend approaches him about saving his daughter, Constantine must confront past sins in order to defeat the forces behind the girl's condition. Partly an origin story, this movie dives into who Constantine is as a person but also as a supernatural detective. Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of Constantine: City of Demons!

224 - The Flash [2023]
Cinema Heroes
After many years (The Flash TV show premiered and ended between when this movie was announced and when it was released), we finally got to see The Flash in his first solo movie. Reprising his role from Justice League, Ezra Miller plays Barry Allen who is frustrated after another attempt to help his wrongly imprisoned father fails. Realizing he can run fast enough to travel back in time (farther than he did (or thought possible) in Zack Snyder's Justice League), he plans to go back and save both his parents, despite a warning from Bruce Wayne that he could "destroy everything." Loosely based on...

223 - Top 10 Comic Book Castings
Cinema Heroes
Who is the best casting choice for a comic book character? That's the question we ask today (thanks to listener Simon!) for our newest Top 10 episode. Joining us is our friend and frequent collaborator Alex Thomas as we discuss actors who were born to play their role, who defined the character on screen, and who surprised us but now we can't see anyone else playing the character. What do you think of our lists? Do you agree or disagree? Is there someone we left off that deserves a spot? Let us know!

222 - Alien: Romulus [2024]
Cinema Heroes
The Alien franchise is back with its newest installment from director Fede Alvarez (Evil Dead, Don't Breathe). Taking place between Alien and Aliens, Alien: Romulus finds a group of young adults attempting to board a decommissioned Weyland-Yutani ship in order to steal the cryo-chambers needed to flee their planet and make the nine year voyage to their new home. Things do not go as planned, obviously and they soon find themselves face to face with face huggers. We all know what comes next. Does the newest addition take a top spot among the best Alien films or does it fall flat with some of the...

221 - TMNT [2007]
Cinema Heroes
The turtles are back for their first ever feature length animated adventure! The gang's all here except for Shredder (and it turns out there's a reason for that!) but all is not right amongst the turtles. Add to that, there's a guy trying to open a portal to another dimension! Sounds like trouble. It also sounds like the makings of a hit Turtles movie! Do I smell pizza? Let us know what you think of TMNT!

220 - The Matrix Revolutions [2003]
Cinema Heroes
We're continuing through The Matrix franchise with part 3: The Matrix Revolutions. When The Matrix Reloaded ended, Neo was in a coma after using some reality-warping powers in the real world! Revolutions is often considered the worst of the trilogy and some people consider the sequels so bad that they ruin everything good about the first movie, but is it really that bad? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of The Matrix Revolutions!
info_outlineWe are wrapping up The Mummy franchise with the third installment: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor! Released only 9 years after the original, but taking place 20 years later, this film takes the O’Connells to China where Alex has awakened the Dragon Emperor and his terracotta army. Missing from the cast is Rachel Weisz (replaced by Maria Bello) and Rob Cohen replaces Stephen Sommers in the director’s chair. How does this film hold up and stand against the other two Mummy movies? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor!
