Digimon: The Movie (2000) w/ Mike 1:34:13

Play Pause

2d ago1:34:13

1:34:13

Happy new year, digifriends! On this very special episode of MoviePod, we go back to an anime film that was ridiculed for being incomprehensible. It is! It's three stitched together short films with a bonus Angela Anaconda opening (that may have caused someone's divorce) with a glorious ska soundtrack on top. Digimon: The Movie's unique status as a…

It's A Wonderful Life (1946) w/ Johnny Amizich from Culture Dumpster 1:39:36

7d ago1:39:36

1:39:36

It started off as a box-office disappointment that was investigated by the FBI for communist sympathies. It wasn't until it became part of the public domain in the 1970s that people started watching It's A Wonderful Life as a Christmas staple. It has since been reclaimed as one of the greatest films of all time. I am joined again by Johnny Amizich …

The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) w/ Andrea Wishart 1:53:32

14d ago1:53:32

1:53:32

Some initial reviews thought "bah humbug! this isn't as good as other Christmas Carol telling's" Time has vindicated fans of this and the Muppets for being both one of the best Muppet movies, the best Charles Dickens film and a true holiday staple. I have watched this film every Christmas Eve with my family so it was fitting to get my sister Andrea…

On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969) w/ Andrew Joe Potter 1:40:43

21d ago1:40:43

1:40:43

George Lazenby was a one and done James Bond. Critics and audiences rejected him at the time. But is his solo 007 adventure bad? No, it's actually a fantastic movie and I brought Andrew Joe Potter back to the show to discuss this Christmas themed James Bond adventure. Please rate review and subscribe!

As a holiday bonus, I am joined by Ethan to talk about a cookie-cutter Hallmark Christmas romance featuring my beloved Buffalo Bills.

Star Wars: Episode VIII – The Last Jedi (2017) w/ Dalton Pike from Sick Flicks 1:24:12

1:24:12

I am kicking myself for the fact Laura Dern is not mentioned once in this episode. This was supposed to be a Die Hard 2 episode with Dalton and Mike from Sick Flicks! Unfortunately, I forgot to hit the record button so that episode is lost but will forever be part of MoviePod lore. Dalton came up with a great save though. We did an impromptu loose …

Rocky IV (1985) w/ Matthew Moynahan 1:46:21

1:46:21

It's the film that ended the Cold War. It's an over-the-top departure from the previous three installments in this Oscar-winning series. This week on MoviePod I'm joined by Matthew Moynahan to discuss a film that audiences love for its goofiness and it's excessive montages. We are talking Sylvester Stallone's Rocky IV!

"Hold on tight, spider monkey" Andy returns to MoviePod to discuss the hit film Twilight. As Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart's careers have hit new critical heights people have treated this young adult adaptation with far less contempt.
