Hosts: Barry, Sam
Topic: Sonic the Hedgehog (2020) directed by Jeff Fowler, written by Pat Casey, and Josh Miller. Starring Ben Schwartz, James Marsden, Jim Carrey, Tika Sumpter, and many more.
Sonic the Hedgehog is an entertaining and wholesome kid's movie that is well constructed enough to have enough appeal for adults as well. The movie is simple in its construction but it's completely serviceable. Sonic looks pretty great, compared to the abomination that was in the original trailer. Jim Carrey also has a fantastic return to the silver screen with his...

Topic: Detective Pikachu (2019) directed by Rob Letterman, written by Dan Hernandez, Benji Samit, Rob Letterman, and Derek Connolly. Starring Ryan Reynolds, Justice Smith, Kathryn Newton, Bill Nighy, Ken Watanabe, and many more.
Detective Pikachu is a very entertaining and solidly constructed kids film that can be enjoyed by everyone. It follows the trusted action film formula of dispensing a little bit of narrative and then following it up with an action scene. It's serviceable and the humor from Ryan Reynolds being Ryan Reynolds carry the slower parts...

Hosts: Barry, Isaiah, Sam
Topic: Real Steel (2011) directed by Shawn Levy, written by John Gatins , Hugh Jackman, Dakota Goyo, Evangeline Lilly, Anthony Mackie, Kevin Durand and many more.
Real Steel is a wholesome (minus some swearing), by the numbers, family film where a washed up, sleazy character is transformed into a father and a decent human being. Also robots punch each other until they explode. Someone think of the robots! Robots are people too..wait a minute.

Topic: Pacific Rim (2013) directed by Guillermo del Toro, written by Travis Beacham and Guillermo del Toro, starring Charlie Hunnam, Diego Klattenhoff, Idris Elba, Rinko Kikuchi, Charlie Day, Burn Gorman, Max Martini, and many more.
Pacific Rim is a love letter to mecha anime and giant robots punching things in their giant faces. It is surprisingly well shot, considering many of the effects were done practically. Overall, a movie where the plot isn't the most important thing because you have giant robots fighting giant monsters.
Pacific...

Topic: Overlord(2018) directed by Julius Avery, written by Billy Ray and Mark L. Smith, starring Jovan Adepo, Wyatt Russell, Mathilde Ollivier, Pilou Asbæk, John Magaro, Iain De Caestecker, and many more.
Overlord is an amalgamation of many film genres. It's a little bit horror, a little bit zombie film, a little bit action, a little bit war movie, with a dose of humor. It doesn't manage to deliver on every aspect and becomes a little diluted in its attempt to be everything. Overall it's a very e...

Hosts: Barry, Isaiah, Sam
Topic: Knives Out(2019) directed by Rian Johnson, written by Rian Johnson, starring Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, and many more.
Knives Out is a fantastic "Who Dun It?" movie written and directed by Rian Johnson. The cast is stacked and they all deliver with some very charming and humorous performances. The writing is humorous and witty, and the pacing of the film is incredible. It takes you along for a ride and never lets you down.

Shin Godzilla is a fantastic movie on many layers. First of all, it's a great Godzilla film. You get to see Godzilla being Godzilla, a representation of the unstoppable, destructive side of nature. It works as a criticism of the Japanese bureaucracy and the greed of governments world wide. It also showcases some of the...

Topic: Godzilla: King of the Monsters(2019) directed by Michael Dougherty, written by Michael Dougherty and Zach Shields, starring Kyle Chandler, Vera Farmiga, Millie Bobby Brown, Ziyi Zhang, Bradley Whitford, Sally Hawkins, Charles Dance, and many more.
Godzilla: King of the Monsters fails to capture the spirit of Godzilla by focusing too much on the human characters. This would still work out if the characters were likeable but sadly almost everyone is idiotic, hypocritical, and unrelatable. The other characters are given marginal roles with little to say and...

Hosts: Barry, Isaiah, Sam
Topic: Dunkirk(2017) directed and written by Christopher Nolan and starring Fionn Whitehead, Damien Bonnard, Aneurin Barnard, Tom Hardy, and many more.
Dunkirk is best watched with Darkest Hour. While Darkest Hour gives us a glimpse into the political drama of the events leading up to the evacuation, Dunkirk shows us the brutal and grim reality of the sheer hopelessness and despair felt by the soldiers before the evacuation. This movie does not focus on bombastic entertainment and an unrealistic portrayal of war. Instead we see a silent...

Now with Oscars for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Original Screenplay, and nominated for Best Production Design, and Best Film Editing.
Parasite is a social commentary on classism shown through two two different families, one very rich and one very poor. It's very real but also very surreal at the same time. I know people might be tired of having a "woke" mentalit...

Topic: Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter (2012) starring Benjamin Walker, Dominic Cooper, Mary Elizabeth Winstead is a charming biopic of Abraham Lincoln in the events leading up to the battle of Gettysburg. A bit dry and filled with political drama, this is one of Daniel Day Lewis's best performances yet.
All joke aside, this movie goes to 12. It. Has. Horse. Parkour.

Topic: Darkest Hour - Darkest Hour (2017) starring Gary Oldman is a charming biopic of Winston Churchill in the events leading up to the evacuation of the British troops in Dunkirk. A bit dry and filled with political drama, this is one of Gary Oldman's best performances yet.

Hosts: Barry, Isaiah, Sam
Topic: The Fifth Element - The Fifth Element (1997) starring Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, and Gary Oldman is a wonderfully weird space opera of epic proportions. It still holds up visually as most of the effects are practical and the attention to detail is stunning. It masterfully weaves together and pulls apart different character arcs as well as contains witty satire and humor in almost every scene. The element may be fifth but the movie is first in our hearts. Pointy Hat Cast approved!

Upon re watching it though, we quickly realized that it is indeed a very flawed movie. The flaws do not detract from the movie though and only adds to its charm. It also creates some unintentionally humorous moments!

Hosts: Barry, Isaiah, Sam
Topic: Her - Her (2013) starring Joaquin Phoenix, Scarlett Johansson, and Amy Adams is an interesting take on the future of society and artificial intelligence. It explores the nature and meaning of love in a relatable way while managing to inject humor into some situations. Joaquin's performance is quite excellent and he manages to portray a character that is both relatable and not relatable; very human yet also lacking in many way. Scarlett Johansson's performance is excellent as well. Also...0D over 2D!

Topic: Black Dynamite - Black Dynamite (2009) is the perfect example of a movie that is made intentionally bad but is so good. There is probably no other movie that comes close to this level. A loving parody of blaxploitation films of old, it introduces a whole lot of witty humor and masterful satire. Each scene is packed full of small humorous details. Michael Jai White has an explosive performance as Black Dynamite as he takes on problems from the Man trying to keep everyone down, orphans on drugs, and...

Hosts: Barry, Isaiah, Sam
Topic: The Cabin in the Woods - The Cabin in the Woods (2011) is a surprising twist on the horror movie genre. It's a parody, satire, and meta commentary on the movie industry as a whole. It's sharp and smart but probably won't be enjoyable for every movie goer. It also contains one of the most memorable elevator scenes of all time and features more monsters than you can fling a chained bear trap at (including the much feared Kevin).

It is incredibly well written, well shot, and has amazing performances from the cast (Tim Allen, Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver, Sam Rockwell, many more). It goes beyond just being a simple parody and satire of Star Trek and becomes a very endearing and delightful masterpiece of cinema.

Hosts: Barry, Isaiah, Sam
Topic: Aquaman - This film took us by surprise with some of the highest highs and lowest lows of all time, the standouts being both the amazing and bad cinematography and Amber Heard's stiff acting. All this talk about water leads us onto a dark tangent of weaponizing Superman's urine (amongst other things) and giving a new meaning to Peter Tingle. It must never be spoken of again.

Topic: Spider-Man Far From Home - A very competent take on a teenage rom-com and a coming of age story. It does fall apart a small bit in the third act in narrative, character development, and overall cohesion but it is incredibly visually stunning!
