Our Review of Thor: RagnarokGoldblum is so weird, we love him! This week, we review the 3rd installment into the MCU for the year 2017. At this rate, Marvel will put out a new move every month for the rest of our lives… and we're totally okay with that. This one sets itself apart from the other MCU movies by being delightfully ridiculous and silly. Naked and goofy Hulk? Overcompensating Thor? Evil Hela tossing her Dad’s trophies around and taunting her brothers! Drunken Valkyrie flirting with Banner! Double-crossing Loki putting on corny plays for Asgardians- starring Matt Damon! That last one shouldn't be a shoc...2017-11-1300 minSilly Talks About Science FictionStranger Things Season 2 Rules WTFThis week we’re talking about the totally tubular second season of Stranger Things!

First ten minutes are spoiler free. Beep, beep, Richie!2017-09-1800 minSilly Talks About Science FictionWhy Does It Suck To Go To The Movies?Does it suck going to the movies? Or do the movies just suck? This summer had terrible box office numbers and the worst attendance in 25 years! But why? Was it the robots that turn into cars for the 5th time? Johnny Depp as a pirate AGAIN? Spider Man rebooted for the 3rd time? Or is it that more interesting movies just don't get enough advertising? Or maybe that bad early reviews kept people from taking a chance on a film? Or are people just finding it easier (and cheaper) to stay home on the sofa and watch movies on HBO...2017-09-1100 minSilly Talks About Science FictionGame of Thrones Season 8 ThoughtsWe know that you watched it all and not because we are the three eyed raven, but because you have clicked on this podcast.

This week, we're offering reviews of these three random horror movies that we recently watched, because whatever, we do what we want. “Life” is a space horror film, set in a very roomy version of the International Space Station, where you can scream all you want, but no one will hear you. “The Void” is set in a creepy abandoned hospital and totally exceeded our expectations. Finally, we review the “The Cure for Wellness” which is also set in a seclude...2017-07-3100 minSilly Talks About Science FictionHorrible Science Fiction Vacation DestinationsIt's Summer, people! That means packing the kids up in the car and traveling to a galaxy far, far away- or maybe just your grandparents house to do the same lame stuff you did last year.

Like, when there was maybe one addition a year? Now, it seems like every time we sneeze there's a new one. And, yes, the last time Jeff sneezed was in May when "Guardians" came out. In this episode of Silly Talks, we're reviewing the new Spider Man movie- but watch out because this review is loaded with SPOILERS! What did you miss? What references did we see to other movies? Who showed up for fun cameos? We don't want to say to much in the...2017-07-1700 minSilly Talks About Science FictionM Night Shyamalan Needs To StopI have a secret, I see a lot of bad movies. Everyone knows his name, few can pronounce it. The famed director of “The Sixth Sense” appears every couple of months and releases another gimmicky SciFi/Horror movie into world. As they have been more laughable or obnoxiously awful than good entertainment, how is he still able to make new films? Join us this week as we break down all his major movies: all of the twists, the plots, and the filmmaker’s HUGE ego! Spoiler alert! We will ruin all of the endings, so if you haven’t seen any of h...2017-07-1000 minSilly Talks About Science FictionThe Untitled Han Solo Anthology FilmHave you all read about the directors being dropped from the Han Solo movie and potentially replaced by Ron Howard?

This six hour movie (based on one of King's best books topping out at over 1,000 pages) featured an amazing cast that brought the characters to life and an epic story that continues to captivate us years later. It's everything. This novel/movie has had a massive impact on our lives and today we're going to break it...2017-06-1900 minSilly Talks About Science FictionCrappy Dads In Science Fiction and FantasyBad dads can push a certain character toward the light or the dark. Ephraim's lack of supervision of Zack on The Strain has cataclysmic results. Jamie Lanister refusing to acknowledge his children make them out to be evil little rugrats. John Winchester never gave his children a real childhood, but was that a good or bad thing for Sam and Dean? And why does everyone on Lost have such a crappy dad? I mean come on Abrams! Join us this week as we take a silly look at our favorite crappy dads in science fiction and fantasy and who knows...2017-06-1200 minSilly Talks About Science FictionTwin Peaks: The Return Episodes 1-5 ReviewWhen Netflix brought back Arrested Development several years after its cancellation, it started a revolution.

As difficult as it is to capture the magic of the first time you see a new world, it doesn't stop Hollywood from trying- and usually failing. Seriously, how many times is Jaws going to harass that family? Indiana Jones and aliens? The Crow was good, but please stop trying to replicate Brandon Lee's heartbreaking performance. Jason, Chucky, Freddie, and other jerks, creatures, and characters who were cooler the first time around, we'll talk about all these cash grabs and franchise...2017-05-2900 minSilly Talks About Science FictionHorrible Sci-Fi Book/Movie AdaptationsIt happened, you were browsing the Internet and you saw it, a link to a movie trailer for a book that you loved.

Join us this week as we take a look at some horrible Sci-fi book-to-movie adaptations from the bizarre nightmare they made of H.G. Wells' "The Island of Dr. Morrow", the hack job they did on the brilliant novel "Hannibal" by Thomas Harris, the...2017-05-2200 minSilly Talks About Science FictionLogan ReviewHow many of you said, “Really?

We feel like this movie should win an award for “Most Computer Generated Characters in a Non CG Movie!” So many plot holes, such little time. Join us this week to hear our opinions on our questions arising out of these films. We hope to shed some light on quest...2017-04-1000 minSilly Talks About Science FictionVenom!

Over water or land or when hanging out on Bespin, there's no denying that these jetpacks look like a lot of fun- unreasonably dangerous and expensive fun, but still, fun!2017-03-2000 minSilly Talks About Science FictionFrequently Asked Questions About Star Wars: Part 1It’s a fact that the more you watch something, the more you analyze something, and the more questions can arise. Star Wars is something that always requires more than one viewing, but even after so many screenings, we have plenty of questions.

One is a parody, focused mostly on spoofing Star Wars, but a few other franchises are thrown into the mix. The other is an homage to the original Star Wars trilogy and a heist movie at the same time.
