Ben Blohm and Susan Swarner are back for a recast episode! We imagine what the cast of the original X-Men movie might look like if it was made today. Except for ole Ben Konowitz, who decided to cast it with actors in the 90s, like a total schmuck. Plus, we talk about the trailers for Slice (CHANCE THE RAPPER AND WEREWOLVES!), The Outlaw King (BRAVEHEART 2!), Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween (WATCHER BEWARE! YOU’RE IN FOR A SCARE!) and Green Book (FUGETTA BOUT IT!). Plus, we go on an extensive tangent about Goosebumps books, and, of course, we play some games!
Alex Pappas finally returns to the show, and Erin Snyder makes her first appearance. We dig deep into fantasy movies, have a chat about Burt Reynolds (weeks before he passed away), and Alex rambles on about biopics and pop culture and whatever. We also talk about the trailers for Fahrenheit 11/9 (BUT HER E-MAILS!), Bohemian Rhapsody (MAMMA MIA, LET ME GO!), The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (WHAT AN ACID TRIP!) and The Kindergarten Teacher (POETRY SLAM!) Plus, there’s games and general tomfoolery! Snap into a Slim Jim!
We bring our cousin buddies Mike Flores and Tim Gust back to talk about the trailers for Mid90s (JONAH HILL LOVES SKATEBOARDS!), Overlord (CALL OF DUTY ZOMBIES!), Hunter Killer (A SUB-TITLE!) and Venom (A REAL TURD IN THE WIND!). Plus, we talk about our brand new podcast room that is full of inside jokes, imagine if Trumbo was about a flying dinosaur, and Ben gets real grumpy about losing the games...again. Have a laugh, you snickerdoodles!
Ben and Brad sit down for a mini-episode (that’s still one hour long) to talk about the exciting things from Comic-Con. We run through the new trailers for Glass (HE’S NOT UNBREAKABLE!), Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (HOT YOUNG SEXY DUMBLEDORE!), Aquaman (VINNIE CHASE WAS BETTER!), Godzilla: King of the Monsters (LONG LIVE THE KING!) and Shazam! (SHAZAM!). Plus, we dig into the stupidity of MoviePass, James Gunn being fired from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and Star Wars Episode 9. Buckle up! Here we go!
Ben and Brad bring back Luke Starkey and Niraj Lakhia to talk about all the movies. We keep the trailer talk short with some discussion on the cyber thrillers Unfriended: Dark Web (THE INTERNET IS SCARY!) and Searching (HAROLD CAN’T FIND HIS DAUGHTER!), and then we move into a fun new segment (and possible backdoor pilot) called Cinema Toast Munch, where we try out a strange new drink and a Canadian snack. We’ll explain it in the show. Plus, Ben gets real grumpy about the games. Have fun listening!
