WELCOME TO MARATHON: IMPOSSIBLE! We've had a good stretch of time these past several months without an extensive marathon, so it was high time to dive into a new one. The Mission: Impossible franchise has been a favorite among moviegoers for the past thirty years, with its final entry set for later next month. And with seven films to go through, it's time for us to look back and see how this franchise reached the heights it ascended to today. So, come join Brian and Alec as they take a look back at all of Tom Cruise's craziest death wish productions -- starting with the very first MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE!
WILDCATS, GETCHA HEAD IN THE GAME! It is our last track before we hunker down into a few marathons from now until the end of July, and we're going out in a big way. Any kid who grew up at any age in the mid-late 00's vividly remembers the three Disney Channel films that made a big splash in pop culture, launched the careers of several newcomers, and sought to teach a new generation to not embrace the status quo and branch out into new passions. And maybe they tell that story the exact same way three times, but who cares, right? So, nearly twenty years after the first film, how does this trilogy still fare? Come join Brian, Alec, and special guest Darby (@gwenstacying) to find out as they revisit a few beloved childhood classics -- the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL trilogy!
THIS IS (NOT) THE END. We were hoping to do this one right before the release of Saw XI. Unfortunately, numerous obstacles have made it appear to be game over for one of our favorite horror franchise (though recent reports say otherwise), thus we decided to record this The Saw franchise has had its ups and downs, with the low points being more recent and arguably more plentiful, but the tenth film in the franchise shot new life and appreciation into John Kramer's arm. Is it as good as we remember? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they revisit one of their favorite recent horror films -- SAW X!
"OH, JARNATHAN!" Twenty-five years ago, the first attempt at a Dungeons & Dragons movie was released. Unfortunately, not even Jeremy Irons' funny little dragon call could save it. Twenty-three years later, the second attempt was released -- one that succeeded and was lauded for its senses of fun, heart, and love for the game. Unfortunately, it got released right after another big franchise's seemingly-final entry hit theaters -- thus, not attracting as many audiences as it should've. We're here to tell you, we should've had three of these by now. So, come join Brian and Alec as they take a look at one of 2023's most underrated films -- DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: HONOR AMONG THIEVES!
"MEMORIES BRING BACK, MEMORIES BRING BACK YOU." We thought that Kraven was the last Sony Marvel movie we had to watch. We were wrong. Though we may have covered it in an episode of the main show back when it first released, we have yet to tackle the third live action Eddie Brock adventure for this one until now. Is it truly as bad as we remember? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they bid good riddance to Sony's Marvel universe with VENOM: THE LAST DANCE!
