Happy Father's Day! To honor today's holiday we're visiting a modern Father/Son film hidden behind robots... Real Steel! This film has SO much going for it and was written so incredibly well. Many critics got lost in the fighting robot aspects, but look under the hood with us, and we'll walk thru all the genius writing and performances! Before we tackle Real Steel, we talk through our top 5 Father/Son movies of all time! So grab your voice recognition remote, stay out of the corner, and have as many Dr. Peppers as Donald can drink... it's time for Real Steel on The Movie Defenders podcast!

We thought it was time to get in the mood for the show this weekend, so what's better? Fighting robots, Eminem, and an electric guitar! Added some rock flair along with highlights from the movie! Enjoy everyone! Let's gooooooo!

One of the coolest movies ever, and one of Eminem's Top 3 songs ever. Wild to do it on a guitar but you gotta have fun! If you love movies check out my pod...

Next weekend, on Father's Day... the three dad-hosts of The Movie Defenders podcast will discuss one of the most requested films since the show's inception, and one of the best modern Father & Son films ever. So much heart. So much fun. Next Sunday!

05/06/2024

Our next show is Father's Day. And what better movie for Father's Day than finally reviewing one of THE MOST REQUESTED films we've ever had in the years we've been doing this... Real Steel! Come for the fighting robots... stay for the tear-jerking father & son story that's so well written it gets us every time. Critics really missed the mark with this one. There's a lot here. We can't wait to grant the listeners' wishes with this one! And yes, it does need defending. Wegotchu! Real Steel... next on The Movie Defenders podcast!

04/06/2024

Don't listen to the box office. There's lots of reasons for that. 3 out of 3 Movie Defenders agree... Furiosa was freakin' dope. Hemsworth is rocking it in a transformative, incredible performance. Go see it on the big screen... trust us! George Miller is 5 for 5.

03/06/2024

Today we stay in the 1980s with an absolute gem of a classic... Road House! There is WAY more to the writing here than many give it credit for and The Movie Defenders will break it all down in the way only we can. We have a full episode for everyone as we also talk about Furiosa and a possible big reason why Hollywood is losing money at the box office. Then we discuss our top 5 quotes from Road House before we dive into the movie! So grab your super tight jeans, watch your throat, and don't eat the big white mint in the bathroom... it's time for Road House on the Movie Defenders podcast!

Who's ready for Twisters? We love giant effects-driven action as much as the next! And who doesn't love a little rock once in a while! Scott taught himself this one by ear... how'd he do!?

This metalhead just had to go country once! What a great country rock anthem! I had to pay homage.
