The Neon Movie Bunker

Two guys talking about movies, more movies, other movies, and DVDs.

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 367 11/14/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 367 They're back, and they're ready to review movies! El'Ahrai and John subject "Anora" and "My Old Ass" to the scrutiny of their steely gaze! Plus newsbits, questions, video picks and arguably less overt despair than you might expect! So listen! You couldn't have heard. I kind of write donut jokes on the side. It's one of my many talents. /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/33923482

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 366 11/08/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 366 Enjoy this episode recorded before Election Day, ahead of the Fall. This week, John and El'Ahrai review "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever" and "The Apprentice". Plus some assorted talking and stuff and oh, what's the point? Nothing matters any more. Do you still think you can control them? /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/33844502

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 365 10/31/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 365 There are matters liturgical and biographical on the docket this week, as El'Ahrai and John review "Conclave" and "Piece by Piece"! Plus home video picks, questions, and the boys demonstrate more courage than the owners of the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times! Would I block you? I would spend every cent I own, and all I could borrow, to block you. There are people who think of Johnny as a clown and a buffoon, but I do not. I despise John Iselin and everything that Iselinism has come to stand for. I think, if John Iselin were a paid Soviet agent, he could not do more to harm this country than he's doing now. /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/33697932

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 364 10/24/2024

Eros and Thanatos, get 'em here! Plus the usual stuff. You should listen! Isn't all mankind ultimately executed for a crime it never committed? /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/33594607

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 363 10/17/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 363 A slightly more standard-sized show this week, as El'Ahrai and John review "Saturday Night" and "Hellboy: The Crooked Man"! (One of them is good, and one has Hellboy in it!) Plus all the usual newsbits, home video picks, questions and weird silliness (or is it silly weirdness) that is endemic to the brand! So listen! Dr. Manning, suck my ectoplasmic schwanzstucker! /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/33494017

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 362 10/10/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 362 Carve out a bit of time, because this one is big and beefy! John, El'Ahrai, and the ubiquitious Cati Glidewell are setting course for your earholes with reviews of "Joker: Folie à Deux", "Salem's Lot", "Killer Rental", and "The Substance"--can you guess which one is praised by two-thirds of the panel as one of 2024's best? Plus! Newsbits, home video picks, and...El'Ahrai saw "Megalopolis". So listen, and tell your friends to listen, too! It was supposed to be a tribute to Beyoncé, but people did not take it that way. /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/33406192

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 361 10/03/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 361 After a bit of...unpleasantness, we are back! Yes, El'Ahrai and John have returned to your earholes to terrorize the studios and champion the weird, all for reasonable rates! This week, they bring reviews of "Megalopolis" and "Wolfs", and one of them is a review unlike any in 18 years of experience! Plus newsbits and questions and home video picks and all the rest! It's great to be back, so you should listen! That's the bravest thing I've ever seen a vegetable do. /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/33307782

Hiatus Message 09/17/2024

Hiatus Message Due to a terribly rude invasion by real life, The Neon Movie Bunker will be going on a brief indefinite hiatus. When we know when will be back, well let you know. Thank you for your understanding. His digestive system is extremely simple. This processor dispenses a rudimentary paste that sustains his organic systems. /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/33084017

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 360 09/12/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 360 Well, there we go again. John, El'Ahrai and special guest Cati Glidewell review not one, not two, not three, but FOUR movies! "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice", "The Front Room", "Trap", and "Reagan"! Plus! Talk of the Oscar race starts! So please, sit down, sit back and enjoy the dulcet tones of our voices. So women aren't supposed to feel the same things that a man feels? I mean its wrong for them to talk about it? It's okay for a man to say "I'm horny. I'd like to get laid." This is not okay for a woman to say? /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/33014277

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 359 09/05/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 359 Well, we're rounding into the home stretch of 2024, and El'Ahrai and John are here to share their lists of the Top 5 Most Anticipated Movies For The Rest of The Year! (One day, their will be dueling epic poems about the battle to select "Moana 2".) Plus! Reviews of "Between the Temples" and "Harold and the Purple Crayon"! Throw in some festival news and other stuff, and you've got a show going! I ate my grandma! And it took a week cause she was absolutely humongous. /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/32903477

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 358 08/29/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 358 OK, we know there are some audio issues during the review portion of this week's show. The person responsible will be flogged until he doesn't like the flogging any more (we could be here a while). Anyway! Join John, El'Ahrai, and Special Guest Star Tim Conw--I mean, Cati Glidewell as they discuss "Blink Twice", "Sugarcane" and "Oddity"! Plus naughty trailer creators, home video picks, and the usual jackanapery. So listen! When you can't trust the lawyers and the advertising men, what the hell's America coming to, huh? /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/32786712

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 357 08/22/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 357 Can I interest you in some movie talk? Perhaps...a Count/Pointercount review of "Alien: Romulus" with a bonus chaser of "Borderlands" slander? Well, do El'Ahrai and John have a show for you! There's also some talk about the apparent resurrection of one of the most notorious films of the past 60 years, and...I dunno, a DVD gets mentioned. So listen in! Like sauerkraut, it's good for you! You do things someone else's way and you take your life into your own hands. /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/32694837

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 356 08/15/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 356 If there is any mercy left in this universe, by the time you read this, the sun will have extinguished. If, on the other hand, the universe continues onward in its infinite indifference, here is a new episode. "Didi" and "The Bikeriders" are up for review. There are other discussions. None of it matters. Nothing matters. There is no harmony in the universe. We have to get acquainted to this idea that there is no real harmony as we have conceived it. But when I say this, I say this all full of admiration for the jungle. It is not that I hate it, I love it. I love it very much. But I love it against my better judgment. /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/32583007

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 355 08/08/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 355 El'Ahrai and John are back, and they, too, will be doing this until they're 90! "Kneecap" and "Sing Sing" are on the review docket this week, so listen up for that! Plus! There is extended discussion of the Marvel announcements out of Comic-Con's Hall H, and--to continue the Marvel-y fun--some talk about the manner in which "Deadpool & Wolverine" has rewritten the box office record book! Doesn't that sound like good, clean fun? You should listen! It's probably just a wedding somewhere nearby. They like to shoot off guns at weddings here. You get it, you're from Florida. /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/32492047

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 354 07/29/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 354 Well, we've reached (perhaps) the final big hitter of the Summer Movie Season 2024. This week, John and El'Ahrai deliver a Count-Pointercount review of "Deadpool and Wolverine"! Thrill to all the Robert Bresson references, both in the movie and the reviews! Did we hear a single? Find out! Plus all the usual stuff. I remember signing a contract, to play ball not to be put to sleep by some two bit carney hypnotist! /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/32326997

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 353 07/25/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 353 It's July, so grab hold, Miranda! This week, El'Ahrai, John, and fifth Beatle Cati Glidewell review "Twisters", "The Fall Guy: Extended Cut", and "Widow Clicquot"! Plus rumblings of dissolutions, home video picks, questions, and more! Tell me and you and everyone we know to listen! I don't want to have to do this living. I just walk around. I want to be swept off my feet, you know? I want my children to have magical powers. I am prepared for amazing things to happen. I can handle it. /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/32285262

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 352 07/18/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 352 The slow downhill...slide? crawl? descent? to the end of 2024 has begun. Let John and El'Ahrai be your guides on this trip into darkness, with movie reviews and stuff! This week, "Longlegs" and "Fly Me to the Moon" await the judgment they are due. Plus all the usual delights. So download and listen! A family tiff seems to be developing. I don't know if we should leave, but I definitely advise skipping the fish course. /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/32190887

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 351 07/11/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 351 Guess who's back! Back again! Cati's back! Tell a friend! That's right, The Blonde in Front has returned to grace our filthy airwaves with the delight of her presence! And it's a special one, as this week, Cati, El'Ahrai, and John name their Top Five Movies for 2024 So Far! (I'm not going to lie to you, they all said "Kung Fu Panda 4" for all five slots.) Plus! Reviews of "Maxxxine", "Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F", and "Daddio"! You know you want to listen, so...like, do that. That is awesome! I mean, it's disturbing, but it's awesome! /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/32091192

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 350 07/04/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 350 A great big number like 350 deserves a great big show, and by gum, we've got one for you this week! Author and Contributing Editor at Vanity Fair Maureen Ryan graces John and El'Ahrai with her presence to discuss her new-in-paperback book, "Burn It Down". It's a wide-ranging interview, and a good one! But wait, there's more! Reviews of "Kinds of Kindness" and "A Quiet Place: Day One", plus a stop by the Hollywood Labor Relations Story Corner (sponsored by Oven Mitts), home video picks, questions, and more! So give a listen! Say this one time with me: "Would you like that in a pump or a loafer?"... Good. Now memorize it, because starting tomorrow, the only job that you're going to be able to get is selling SHOES! /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/32008917

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 349 06/27/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 349 It is often said that into each life, a little rain must fall, and this is cerrtainly true. However, even the rainiest lives have their days of sun, and one must be aware and ready for those when they arise. (Don't worry, there are jokes in the episode, promise.) This week, El'Ahrai and John review "The Bikeriders" and "Thelma"! Plus newsbits, video picks, and the usual unusual. You should listen!

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 348 06/20/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 348 The movie world this week was all about "Inside Out 2", so why should we be any different? John and El'Ahrai review "Inside Out 2" and "The Watchers" (respectively), plus there is some newsy discussion of box office success! Also! The other weird dumbness and dumb weirdness that has marked this show from Day 1! So strap in! Let me tell you, Falk. We live in perilous times. You got to keep alert for these things. You don't want your life to wind up as black-and-white newsreel footage scored by a cello in a minor key. /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/31817167

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 347 06/13/2024

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 347 We're back for another week toiling in the mines of criticism and entertainment journalism! El'Ahrai and John bring reviews this week of "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" and "MoviePass, MovieCrash"! Will they unearth gems, or will it just be ton upon ton of virtually worthless bauxite? Find out for yourself! It's true! You get colonized! Your native culture gets driven out, and it's replaced by stuff that you don't like and don't even want to know about. It's true! You get colonized! Your native culture gets driven out, and it's replaced by stuff that you don't like and don't even want to know about. /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/31725882

The Neon Movie Bunker -- Episode 346 Oyez! Oyez! A bit of a post-Memorial Day Weekend lull on reviews, but there is news a-plenty on the subject of Netflix's various nefariousness, among other things. John and El'Ahrai provide reviews of "Ezra" and "The First Omen", among all the other stuff...and things. Plus! Do you notice an upgrade in sound quality? Let us know! I move around a lot, not because I'm looking for anything really, but 'cause I'm getting away from things that get bad if I stay. /episode/index/show/neonmoviebunker/id/31624702
