No one would have guessed that Don Coscarelli’s low budget fever dream would be one of the most impactful horror films of 1979, and yet Phantasm went on to spawn 4 sequels and made an icon out of its Tall Man villain as portrayed by Angus Scrimm. Join Sebastian and Jennifer as they cruise the mausoleum for killer chrome balls, vibe to some mellow porch jams and bask in the phantasmagorical weirdness of this 70s late nite classic.

George Miller’s gonzo, post apocalyptic masterpiece Mad Max: Fury Road stunned audiences in 2015, earning widespread praise and cult status. But despite that goodwill, strong reviews and the presence of stars Anya Taylor Joy and Chris Hemsworth, Miller’s prequel Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga stalled terribly at the box office this Memorial Day. Join Sebastian and Jennifer as they discuss the pitfalls of prequels, questionable character choices and their love of the world building in the Mad Max universe. Happy Tuesday!

Based loosely on an 80s TV series, David Leitch’s stunt driven action rom com The Fall Guy was positioned to catapult Ryan Gosling’s post Barbie heat into the superstar stratosphere. But despite a winning turn from Gosling, co-star Emily Blunt and an array of comedic, dazzling stunt sequences, the film’s Hollywood insider trappings failed to translate to box office success. Join Sebastian and Jennifer for a by-request episode as they take a ten-story plunge with this enjoyable, under-seen gem. Happy Tuesday!

Coming hot off the blockbuster success of Jaws, Steven Spielberg’s 1977 follow-up Close Encounters of the Third Kind cemented the director as his generation’s preeminent auteur and kicked off a decades long wave of first contact science fiction. But how does a story centered around an UFO obsessed “me generation” protagonist, played by the now problematic Richard Dreyfus, hold up in 2024? Join Sebastian and Troy as they make mashed potato mountains and reconcile this genre defining blockbuster through a modern lens. Happy Tuesday!

Based on an obscure comicbook character, Madame Web hoped to cash in on the goodwill of the tangentially related Marvel Cinematic Universe as well as the success of the animated Spiderverse films. But the Sony produced movie was ensnared in toxic buzz from the outset, the goofy trailers and mocking reviews ensuring that it would be yet another bomb for a female-led superteam. Join Sebastian and Jennifer as they flex their powers of premonition and suffer through this laughably awful spider-flop. Happy Wednesday!

Witness! Probably no one would have imagined that Aussie director George Miller’s 1979 gonzo biker revenge film would have spawned the definitive post apocalyptic film franchise, and yet Furiosa: A Mad Max saga is rolling into theaters nearly 50 years later. Don’t be mediocre — join Sebastian and Jennifer in making it epic by celebrating one of their favorite film series while reveling in all that is shiny and chrome. Happy Thursday!

Before Marvel’s Avengers became a household name, there was the quirky 1960’s British spy series made popular by the presence of Diana Rigg in a cat suit. More than thirty years past the show’s prime a big budget feature film was attempted, but despite the presence of OG James Bond Sean Connery, Ralph Fiennes and a post Batman & Robin Uma Thurman donning the catsuit, the movie met with disaster critically and at the box office. Join Sebastian and the Mighty Peculiar’s Matt Anderson as they try to decode this baffling, inexplicable mess of a spy thriller. Happy Wednesday!

Henry Cavill may be a fan favorite choice for Bond, but his forays into the super spy game have met with largely lackluster box office results. This has proven especially true for Argylle, director Matthew Vaughn’s Romancing the Stone riff that left Cavill fans unsatisfied and baffled most audiences and critics. Join Sebastian and Whiskey with Witcher hosts Tim and Valerie as they discuss the former Superman’s departure from the Netflix Witcher series, bizarre hairstyle choices and the questionable usage of new Beatles needle drops.

Hollywood had been looking to get the Planet of the Apes franchise back into orbit for 20 plus years, but it wasn’t until Tim Burton signed on to direct that the 2001 remake took sh(ape). But despite boasting incredible Rick Baker makeups, Marky Mark as the lead human and an impressive box office haul, the reaction to the film was so toxic that 20th Century Fox studios declined to opt for a sequel. Join Sebastian and Jennifer as they make monkeys out of themselves trying to unpack the movie’s ruinously bananas twist endings. Happy Monday! Ape Fever continues over here!

The prospect of a sci fi franchise centered around an advanced civilization of apes seemed an unlikely success story in 1968, and yet Franklin J. Schaffner’s adaptation of the Pierre Boulle novel Planet of the Apes was a gorilla-sized hit. Armed with a Rod Serling script and a toothy performance by Charlton Heston, the film went on to spawn several sequels, a TV show, toys and two 21st century reboots. Join Sebastian and Jennifer in celebrating all things simian with this swinging science fiction classic. Happy Thursday!

Coming strong after the one-two punch of The Terminator and Aliens, director James Cameron was poised to reach A-level status with his wildly ambitious underwater sci fi action film The Abyss. But despite overcoming a torturous and fraught-filled production, the would-be blockbuster left audiences confused upon its 1989 theatrical release and did not ascend to the box office or critical heights Cameron hoped for. Join Sebastian, Chris and Rodney as they deep dive into the new spectacularly restored 4K director’s cut and argue over the merits of Michael Biehn’s villainous mustache. Happy Tuesday!
