Movie Review: ‘A Star Is Born’ Starring Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga, Sam Elliott
A New Classic Is Born In the past, many filmmakers have been creatively successful with remakes (i.e. The Magnificent Seven, Jim Sturges’ 1960 western reimagining of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai). Some filmmakers have even been creatively successful with remakes of remakes (i.e. The Magnificent Seven, Antoine Fuqua’s 2016 update of The Magnificent Seven, Jim Sturges’ […]
Review: Another Take on ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2’
Let me start by saying that 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy instantly became my favorite film in the MCU upon my initial viewing. Out of all of the FIFTEEN MCU feature-length films, the original Guardians is easily the one I’ve seen and love the most. There’s something about the obscurity and goofiness of the movie […]

148: ‘Joy’ Box Office Report (1/1 – 1/3)
We’re joined this week by Kelly Manno from the aptly titled Kelly Manno Show. It’s a freewheeling exchange as Star Wars is still #1, Kevin sullies the memory of Abbott & Costello only to then invite Joe to discuss both professional wrestling AND Rhonda Rousey. It’s like Kevin doesn’t even listen to this show sometimes. […]
78: ‘American Sniper’ Starring Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller
For episode 78 we set our sights (get it?) on American Sniper. Clint Eastwood returns to the director’s chair (and we all know how much he loves chairs) to give us the story of the deadliest sniper in military history. But the real question is…can we make it through such a sensitive topic without saying […]
Movie Review: ‘American Sniper’ is the Best Film of the Year
Clint Eastwood masterfully directs and Bradley Cooper gives the performance of a lifetime as Chris Kyle, the Navy Seal sniper who recorded more kills than any soldier in U.S. History. Am I a bit biased here? Perhaps, given that I was one of the few who thoroughly enjoyed Eastwood’s “Jersey Boys.” The director has an […]
