General #22: Odds and Ends

Sorry about this episode being late, guys! I was at the zoo! Save the animals!

Statistics #39: Kingsman: The Golden Circle

Statistics abound as we delve into the star-studded sequel to 2015’s breakout hit. Then, at the 23:40 mark, a look at Week 4 of the Cinereelists Fantasy Movie League.

Review #52: Lego Ninjago and Kingsman: The Golden Circle

Two new movies came out this weekend. One is a big sequel; the other is a franchise spinoff. I felt somewhat similarly about both of them.

General #21: Quantity vs. Quality

With my internet currently out, I go into a more philosophical approach to today’s episode. How do we balance watching as many movies as we can with watching the best movies we can?

RetroReview #4: Beauty and the Beast (1991)

This animated classic was back in theaters and what better time to talk about it given the live action film came out earlier this year?

Reviews 4: Mother!, American Assassin, 9/11, Home Again

Another cluster of reviews for today’s episode. Four more recent releases, including this past weekend’s wide openings.

Edit: It appears the audio for this episode cuts out periodically. The issue doesn’t look like it can be resolved. I apologize as I only just noticed this issue. I doubt I can remember enough of what I was talking about to fill in all of the gaps, but if I find the time this weekend, I might edit the audio and fill in where I can enough to make the episode listenable, at the very least. I’m sorry!

Statistics #38: Actors with 40+ Film Credits

Follow this link to the list I made on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/strangah/list/actors-with-40-credits/

Today’s episode is all about the brave actors that have appeared in 40 or more films that I’ve seen. It’s only 14 names, but it’s a list I hope to grow and cultivate over time.

Reviews #3: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, Laser Mission

Two movies that someone somewhere considered to be “Sci Fi Classics,” including a film that involves a robotic trump card defeated by the way someone refers to it and a film that isn’t even science fiction.

Statistics #37: Top 10 SeptemberBorn Actors

Got this one done early for a change while I’m on vacation! Some big names here this month, but definitely a top 10 that features a lot of weaker links, in my opinion.

Review #51: It

It’s here, It’s big, It’s scary, and It’s going to do gangbusters at the box office. Previews on Thursday were 13.5 million, a record for horror, September, R-rated films, and Stephen King. Here’s my review.

Reviews #2: Short Films (+FML Update)

A smorgasbord of short films are discussed in today’s episode. Additionally, the week 1 results of FML are discussed at the end.
