May the Fourth be with you. (And also with you.) Lift up your horns. (We lift them up to the Force.) Yes, it's Star Wars Day. Frank and Matt have lost all sense of copyright reason and have treated us all to a packed episode all about one of the greats. Throw your over-the-ear headphones, pour a glass of wine, and revel in the leitmotifs. It's the music of the Star Wars Saga this week on No Flicks Given.
WE PROMISE WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP TO A SCHEDULE. Delaying for a few days on this occasion warranted a slight delay. Are you excited? 'cause we are.
" It was just a colour—but not any color of our earth or heavens. And because Ammi recognized that color, and knew that this last faint remnant must still lurk down there in the well, he has never been quite right since."
Picture this. It's early March 2020. The boys have gathered in Austin, Texas to celebrate Peter's imminent wedding. There is booze. There are tacos. There are Bird scooters. There is a film. A...

The year is 2027. Cyborgs roam the streets of the America/Japan Corporate Union. The Red Army Hammerheads, a cyborg separatist group plans... a murder of some kind? And only Alex Rain, who is also a cyborg, but not as much of a cyborg as the other ones, is the only man/83% cyborg, who can stop... the cyborgs, who we think might be 100% cyborg, but that would make them robots. We can't be sure, but the sunglasses and trench coats ar...
Matt and Frank are back in there continuous quest to cover all of the James Bond movies. This week we get too pretty middling entries:

Happy New Year! This time, the boys have honored a resolution to, once again, inflict movies on their co-hosts. Matt's weapon of choice is the often maligned video game adaptation and production mess that is the 1999 Wing Commander film. Stick around long enough and you might find out why pilgrim is a dirty word and learn to believe that our conversation never existed.
Jonathan Taylor Thomas faces an impossible journey when he is left stranded in the desert, thousands of miles from home, with no money and only a few days left until Christmas.
Join the boys at NFG as we wrap up our final holiday present of the year - 1998's "I'll Be Home For Christmas". One of the most scrolled-over movies on Disney+.
It's the most wonderful time of the year again, and as tradition dictates, we find the NFG crew gathered around the fire, trimming the tree, sipping cocoa, and discussing the darkest Christmas movie since "One Magic Christmas". Unlike "One Magic Christmas", "The Holdovers" does not feature gunfire, and is actually really really really good. Join us on our jolly jaunt back to the 2nd hand smoke filled Christmas of 1970, as we discus...
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and football season is in full swing. What better way to celebrate than with one of the most celebrated football movies of all time? Don't agree? You're gonna have to listen in to find out what we think. Enjoy the turkey, stay safe, and keep the faith, folks.
All Hallows Eve is upon us! Gather round the campfire friends, and Frank, Connor, Matt, and Peter, bring you the hair raising tale of DRACULA: 2000!
It's a familiar tale. Boy meets girl, boy bites girl, and then another girl, and then that guy from That's 70 Show who shall remain nameless. Then boy wanders the streets of New Orleans in a long black coat, while nu metal blares in the background. Our boy, Dracula, just might like t...

SPOILER FREE discussion up to 18:38 so please see the movie if you haven't already! It's not just a great vampire movie, but a great movie period. Let the Right One In this week on No Flicks Bitten.
It's that time of year again! The Boys inaugurate their 2024 Campfire Series with the first of four films on "The Unconventional Vampire". Matt's pick? 1986's Vamp starring the inimitable Grace Jones...and the Great State of New Jersey. You'll have to listen to understand.
You feel that in the air? The breeze is a little cooler, days are shorter, the buildings are on fi-...the, the buildings are on fire? What-...oh it's Detroit. But it's not as bad as-...1994. Right.
As the seasons turn, the gang revisits an old classic to change our tone for the autumn harvest. We talk death, grief, and funny faces in one of Connor's favorite movies: The Crow.
Cock-a-doodle do and how are you?

Connor, Matt, Peter and Frank all gather to talk about the 1996 disaster blockbuster Twister, starring Helen Hunt, Bill Paxton and Philip Seymour Hoffman.

"What's to happen is, you will become proper hosts. And draw tunics of the red bright light company of the South Essex, and you will hand in your precious lavaliers and draw proper microphones to go along with being proper dressed. Fit for podcasts at last!"
Matt & Connor choose this moment to draw Peter into the world of Sharpe and his Company. This entry is decidedly less Horatio Hornblower and more Thin Red Lin...
Overtaxed, overworked, and paid off with a knife, a club, or a rope. No, we're not talking about today's politics, we're traveling back to Sherwood Forest! We've seen a few versions of Robin Hood in our time. Some might say too many. At the end of the day, it might just be this one that's worthy of earnest praise. So trend-setting in action/adventure film that it'd feel cliche if you didn't know better. ...
