Sexy Mother Russia - TWB90 06/12/2019

Sexy Mother Russia - TWB90 This is not about elections, steel dossiers, or FBI reports I will never read. This is all about how sexy, crazy, cool, and dangerous those Russians can be on screen and off. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/10102309

Road Trip Heroes - TWB89 06/05/2019

Road Trip Heroes - TWB89 15:17 to Paris is a Clint Eastwood film made for Lifetime that somehow made it to the big screen. A better road trip movie with a less inspirational story is Eurotrip. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/10066118

Sharks Plus Ocean Equals Scary - TWB88 03/17/2019

Sharks Plus Ocean Equals Scary - TWB88 Recently, Warner Bros. released The Meg as proof that sharks are not bankable unless you make them silly. As frightening a creature as sharks seem, they are never good subjects for a movie. There are very few plots involving sharks in which to script an original film. Depending on the idea, a thrilling shark movie should never be over-conceptualized. Just keep it simple: sharks plus ocean equals scary. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/9031862

Netflix at The Oscars With Steven Spielberg -TWB87 03/15/2019

Netflix at The Oscars With Steven Spielberg -TWB87 Roma did not win Best Picture. Whether this was a slight jab at the streaming giant or a well-deserved win for the other movie, the Oscars are not the same and never will be. But fear not, our Spectacled Crusader is here to save Hollywood from going Hollywood. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/9025019

Bohemian Travesty - TWB86 11/27/2018

Bohemian Travesty - TWB86 At face value, Bohemian Rhapsody is a paint-by-the-numbers biopic without the celebratory weight of a meaningful story. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/7513928

State of Fear 2018 10/31/2018

State of Fear 2018 Halloween has a newfound popularity rooted in a remake that is a sequel (a remakequel) to the beginnings of a franchise relaunch. Not new material, but there’s a case for simplicity with horror movies that over time lost to the evolving use of special effects and jump scares. Halloween (2018) wasn’t a great movie; however, it is what this genre needs as a reflection back to when simple storying telling thrilled the masses. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/7392020

Hollywood, We Have a Problem with Movie Franchises 09/06/2018

Hollywood, We Have a Problem with Movie Franchises Remakes and Franchises make movie watching boring these days. Same ol’ this and with a sprinkle of that thing already imagined. Jurassic World and Ocean’s 8 are two examples of films —this summer— whose failure to deviate from the plot and character development of it’s precursors to produced a final product that hit all the marks of fanfare but lacked originality. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/7014886

Subscribe Me to Movie Pass - TWB83 08/28/2018

Subscribe Me to Movie Pass - TWB83 The movie theatre is a venue; a luxury, to which only some of us can afford to indulge regularly. Subscription services, like, Movies Pass, Stubs, and Cinemark’s Movie Club make that indulgence a more considerable option than waiting for movies to premiere on Netflix. No matter who’s paying, it’s a great experience when we’re paying less. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/6978681

Black Panther is The Only Black James Bond We Need - TWB82 07/05/2018

Black Panther is The Only Black James Bond We Need - TWB82 Black Panther is the only black James Bond we need. He has the tech, a suave demeanor, and the well intent to undermine criminal minds who threaten his nations. It would be great to have a black James Bond character on the big screen but as long as he or she is not James Bond and more Bond-like. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/6778586

Thanos featuring The Avengers - TWB80 06/25/2018

Thanos featuring The Avengers - TWB80 In two movies, Disney and Marvel, (kinda) redefined or rather reintroduced the sympathetic villain into the mainstream zeitgeist: Kilmonger and Thanos. We may not like the pain Thanos inflicts on Earth's Mightiest Heroes in Avengers Infinity War but you gotta like the guy; he has conviction and he's purple. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/6740807

Blade Runner and The Search For Existential Life - TWB79 02/05/2018

Alien Free Fire in The Phoenix Sky - TWB78 02/02/2018

Alien Free Fire in The Phoenix Sky - TWB78 Aliens, they fit into neither the category of monster or creature but fall into the unknown. We don't fear them as much as we are intrigued by them. Give us a reason to be afraid and I'm sure we'll piss our pants. But until that time comes curiosity will have to reign supreme within the space of our feeble minds. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/6219214

Mummy Curses The Dark Universe - TWB77 01/13/2018

Colossal Kong and The Creature Feature - TWB76 12/05/2017

Colossal Kong and The Creature Feature - TWB76 The King Kong movies, Godzilla, gigantic mutant insect films, and aliens were a common staple of this genre but then there was Dracula and Werewolves sprinkled into the play mix. These were all considered horror movies at the time before they were all lumped into the distinctive category of The Creature Feature. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/6014174

Freddy Krueger Got Fingered on Elm Street -TWB73 11/01/2017

Freddy Krueger Got Fingered on Elm Street -TWB73 Surviving in Freddy Krueger's dreamworld is almost impossible, but what if you had a choice and one of them involves not getting into the lion's den with the four-fingered crispy nightmare man of dreams gone bad? The other option is easier, less painful, but involves Tom Green. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/5897356

IT Rhymes With Coulrophobia - TWB72 10/03/2017

IT Rhymes With Coulrophobia - TWB72 What is it about fear that intrigues us? Is it the mystery of the unknown or the thrill of the experience that we find so alluring? /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/5804615

Annabelle Was Here - TWB71 09/02/2017

Annabelle Was Here - TWB71 Dolls make bad roommates, however, if you really feel the need to own such an empty vessel with no personality and frightful glaze, then get a cat. No, not a cat instead of the doll. Buy a cat once you purchase doll and protect the only real investment you can claim as an asset: your soul. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/5700806

Wonder Woman Triumphs - TWB68 06/24/2017

Wonder Woman Triumphs - TWB68 Is Wonder Woman as much a triumph for women within the Hollywood industry is it just a much-needed victory for Warner Bros. and the DCEU universe? /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/5476918

Guardians of The Galaxy 2, A Celestial Opus - TWB67 05/23/2017

Guardians of The Galaxy 2, A Celestial Opus - TWB67 Guardians of the Galaxy is a celestial space painting that maintains the fun of the comic book genre with bright lights, witty banter, and a great soundtrack to overlay what is another great achievement for every VFX artist, writer, and cinematographer who worked to make this film an enjoyable and successful sequel. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/5382554

Under My Shell is A Ghost - TWB66 04/22/2017

Under My Shell is A Ghost - TWB66 White washing aside let's talk about how the live action Ghost In the Shell rinsed away the essence of a completely good storyline for the appeal of everyone who did not read the manga, watch the 1995 anime or the Standalone Complex series and likely never will. In other words, the mass audience of movie goers who could care less about a cyborg who feels. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/5288569

Old Man Logan - TWB65 03/11/2017

Old Man Logan - TWB65 Logan isn't a statement to harold Rated-R comic book movies; it's not a good adaptation of the comic book series,; it's not the best superhero themed movie. What Logan is, is a good movie about the fate of a man whose life was no longer worth fighting to defend. /episode/index/show/talkingwithburritos/id/5159067

X-Men and The Wolverine - TWB64 02/25/2017
