It may not be a Christmas movie but it is a movie that takes place around Christmas! Steven Spielberg pours two extra heaping lumps of sugar into this glorious-looking fantasy that really aims more for the kids than the parents. But that doesn't mean we can't center around a family in crisis! Will Peter learn to not be a jerk to his kids and his wife, MORA...Moira? Will Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins steal this whole movie? Will Ja...

Good hair won't save you from the forces of evil. Sure, it might be mundane evil but we don't know that yet. And the only way to stop it is to assemble a team of heroes. Not THOSE heroes, but ones from where else but classic literature! A grizzled explorer, an invisible rapscallion, an American dude who's just there, a pirate with a ship we want to live on, a vampire who could honestly do this all by herself, a tortured scientist w...

You fools! You've unearthed the most dreaded curse of all! A sequel. Join us as we rewind back to 2001 for this follow up to an all-time classic. Is it good?

Our lovable rogue Rick, our underused badass heroine Evie, Ardeth Bay - Keeper of the...

Welcome to Hollywood, kid! See how fast your bright-eyed, bushy-tailed attitude will shift to that of a chain-smoking fish. But that's showbiz! And watch as a little cat with big dreams won't let his friends get down in the dumps, because they all got spunk (a running theme recently). The only thing standing in their way is the Shirley Temple from hell and her clay golem who literally towers over the city. Will this Grinch/Beelzebu...

Step lightly furlings! Peril lurks around every corner of this cult 90s flick. Bird choir funerals, yellow dragons, Waggs the Racist Squirrel. Our plucky protagonists might be forgetful but they've got spunk! Abigail, the leader mouse who really should listen to her friends more. Russell, the muscly hedgehog with surprising stunt-flying skills. And of course, Edgar (or quite possibly Dr. Who) who is the only reason they're still al...

Holy Polynesian Iguana Batman! When you think of Godzilla, don't you always think of the city of NOO YAHK, walking HR complaints, and the Human Cheerio known as Matthew Broderick? We hope so because we're going back to 1998 to see Roland Emmerich stop at nothing to get us damp in more ways than one. What's that? How could he possibly know that? Why are there so many iguanas? Don't think too hard, seriously we can't be held responsi...

Beware, for here, there be dragons! And the only ones who can stop them are Batman, Leonidas, Killer Joe, and Goldeneye's own Natalya. Sounds epic, right? WELL IT IS. Join us as we re-discover this forgotten gem that truly deserves a re-evaluation from the entire planet. Will our heroes be able to stop these beasts of burden from completely conquering the world? Will that one nice, funny guy be destined to die? Will Matthew McConau...

We're back after so long! But don't worry, we've made up for it by taking almost 2 hours discussing the animated classic from our childhoods, The Swan Princess!

Brave podcasters voyage in search of whether or not an expensive, pretty, and dumb movie deserves the reputation it's gotten.

People of the world! Did you have any idea that this movie is GREAT?! Spice up your life as we go down the bizarre, super British rabbit hole that is 1997's Spice World! Stunning supporting performances, a murderers row of cameos, the icons that are the Spice Girls themselves?! Come for a concert movie, and stay for a film that goes wayy harder than it has any right to. And for that, we thank you.

So you think you know Mars huh? Flick Flops is back to take on arguably the biggest flop of all time, John Carter! Geonosians, white apes, Mark Strong and the Strong-ettes, this all seems like a lot.
