Episode 678: Star Wars Adjacent Movies
As we celebrate yet another May the 4th (be with you), Mikey, d$ and #XlessDrEarl change up their Star Wars topics a bit - instead of fave scenes or ranking the movies, this time, its a look at all the movies that Star Wars inspired... some that turned out to be legendary... some that turned out to be legendarily bad... Can't Force alone, so the crew invites in Fan Fave and longtime friend of the show Hurricane Rhett Barnett, and he gives his own take on the 2024 comedy horror movie "Heretic" as well as a brief chat about the rerelease of "Revenge of the Sith", which has Mikey using the word "Refractory" and Rhett using the phrase "Marital Bed". Then they play what turns about to be a disastrous version of "Everything Everywhere All At Once Upon a Time in Hollywood", which may end up being retired at some point because no one can play the stupid thing (note: d$'s opinion). Then, a top five of Star Wars Adjacent, with some classic Flash Gordon and a chat about Sam Jones and Jacko (OY!), plus star fighters and dark stars and stars with battles beyond them, plus a glave, a hole, Ridley Scott's inspiration, and even kitchen appliances in a classic short film.

Episode 674: The Justice League See This/Not That
With the new Superman footage and cast list being leaked and revealed little by little, we thought it a good time to visit and revisit The Justice League, and a little "See This / Not That". #XLessDrEarl is on assignment in Zamunda, so we invite in a Podcast Legend, the Podfather of Geek Out Loud - the one and only Steve Glosson. Glosson, Mikey, and d$ do a little catch up here and there, then discuss the actors and actresses from the Justice League - Henry Cavill, Willem Dafoe, Gal Gadot, Jeremy Irons, Benaffleck, and more -- all with suggestions and our takes on their movies you should see (Arrival! The Town! Dune!) and movies you should totally skip (Heart of Stone... Eragon... Argylle...) Plus a great chat on Marvel and Disney and all the things.

Episode 672: The Gene Hackman Top 10

Episode 672: The Gene Hackman Top 10
Tis a sad fact that we all must face at some point - our Hollywood legends have begun to fall. It was easy to take the deaths of Cary Grant or Bing Crosby or Natalie Wood as we barely knew them as celebrities, only the movies they gave us to entertain us. But it is a sad fact that time is undefeated, and names like Hoffman, Eastwood, Pacino, Streep, Hanks, DeNiro, those celebrities we've watched in their primes and beyond, will become names of the past... thus, Gene Hackman has moved to that hallowed ground. With reverence and love, Mikey, d$, and #XLessDrEarl take a look at the entire filmography of one Mr Hackman, and listing off their own personal favorite roles - all to come up with a definitive Top 10 of Gene's movies. Along the way, they try to define the generation of movie stars in the 70s and 80s (New Hollywood?), plus give quick reviews of new films "Novocaine" and "Black Bag".
