Episode #488 Ghost Town the Movie (Shawn's movie) 2007's Ghost Town the Movie Dean Teaster's 'Ghost Town The Movie', is a unique "Eastern" Western. It is N.C. native Dean Teaster's tribute to his father Robert Doyle Teaster and "Ghost Town In The Sky" theme park. This is a film that Shawn worked on as a boom operator in his film days. Yes, this movie isn't very good. Yes, the sound is bad, the acting is bad, the story is bad and the writing is bad.

We end our summer break month with a fun film from our youth. A goofy movie is a wholesome, father - son road trip about bonding and learning about each other. Also the music is great and we're still waiting for that Powerline CD to drop.

The warriors face their pasts, revealing their motivations before the Realm's forces arrive to crush the growing rebellion. We end our month of Star Wars adjacent movies with the 2nd of what we now know will be a triolgy, of the Rebel Moon franchize. Its a better film than the first and it does have some stunning visuals and looks amazing but once again we find ourselves not caring about these characters and just waiting for the robot to finally do something. But if you like a good specticle, then this is your franchize.

Episode #478 Battle Beyond the Stars (Wet bar on his crotch) 05/21/2024

Episode #478 Battle Beyond the Stars (Wet bar on his crotch) 1980's Battle Beyond the Stars A farm boy recruits a band of outlaws to save the planet Akir from forces that threaten to wipe them out from the face of the universe. A battle stretching beyond the stars begins here. This low budget sci fi version of Seven Samurai is, well, a low budget version of that classic movie. It has a wide range of characters and locations. The ships look terrible and the acting is hilarous. The film score is amazing and led James Horner to land the Wrath of Khan film, so we can be thankful for that.

This live action remake of the 1998 anumanted film, is not the same type of remake like the others. This movie takes more risks and doesn't do a shot for shot remake. Does the movie suffer for it? Or benift? Join Andrew and Shawn as we travel back in time to China during a very different time. Remember, this movie isn't the same fun musical the original is, but keep an open mind.
