The Oz Network - TV & Film Recaps

Well it’s been a bit of a break in between actual episodes of 24 and we’re finally back for our latest recap in our recap series as we kick off season 7 in style by looking at the first episode from the season, 8am-9am! How do we feel about starting a new season? How do we feel about reaching season 7? Will Ben & Colin agree or disagree on things this episode? How do we feel about finally getting to Renee? Are we excit...

It’s time to close out BAD MOVIE MONTH for another year and we do so with many apologies in advance as we sadly have to bring you the absolute turkey that is Independence Day: Resurgence from 2016. It’s terrible. It’s horrible. So don’t watch the movie. Ever. And probably don’t listen to this episode. Go do something valuable with your life instead. You’re welcome. Have a good day!

It’s a game of alliances and people have opinions on that. Rossi and Jarrod are here to break down episode 6 of The Amazing Race 36. We complain on the lack of suspense in the episode, laugh about all the funny moments Derek and Shelisa delivered, and celebrate the awkward showdown at the beef challenge. We also question how poorly Leticia did at the roadblock, question the “fairness” of the alliance assistance, and worry ...

Another special 24 episode to come down your speakers today as we bring you a recap of the closest thing we ever got to a 24 movie, 24: Redemption! How epic is this movie? Are we glad in hindsight that we got this, even if it meant waiting around a long time for season 7? Why is Africa always in a weird yellow tint? How great is it to see Robert Carlyle in the 24 universe? How sad are we to see the end of Powers Boothe? Ho...

We’re here for another SPOILER FREE REVIEW with a movie that we’re a bit behind in bringing you as we give you our thoughts on Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire. Why are Ben and Colin so divided on this film? Why are the human characters in this movie still so bland and why does this franchise continue to fail at making them interesting? Does this movie look like it was made as a video game? Do we miss Aaron Taylor Johnson? ...

It’s time for another SPOILER FREE REVIEW as we FINALLY bring you our thoughts on the latest movie in the Ghostbusters franchise by going over Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Does this movie just have too many people in it? Is this movie the first good Ghostbusters sequel? Why are we happy there was something original happening in this movie? What do we think of the child characters in this film? Why don’t we get an original ...

BAD MOVIE MONTH continues with another sequel considered to be far inferior to it’s original, as we switch back to 1997 and go over Speed 2: Cruise Control. Is this movie really as bad as people remember? How amazing is Willem Dafoe? Why is Jason Patric a thing and who is he? How has Sandra Bullock changed so much from the first movie to the second? Why is this on a boat? Why don’t we like any of the characters in this mov...

It’s time for the Pan Am Games! Well… not really just at the location where they were held. Rossi and Jarrod are here to break down episode 5 of The Amazing Race 36. We discuss the very bizarre inclusion of Marilyn Monroe’s car, celebrate all the navigation problems and humor they provided, and support the production for providing comically oversized maps. We also wonder if we found the underdog team of the season, support...

We brought you our first bonus 24 episode last week with our first animated parody episode, so now it’s time to bring you the second one as we give you South Park’s unique take on 24 by recapping their parody The Snuke, the 4th episode from their 11th season. How is this episode filled with so much dumb humour that it is genius? Does this episode do the parody of 24 better than The Simpsons did last week? Should we be call...

Another SPOILER FREE REVIEW coming your way today as we look at a movie that is perhaps a little close to home right now, Civil War! How much do we love this movie? Why do we like the style of this movie more so than we should? How incredible is Kirsten Dunst and should she be in Oscar contention after this? What do we think of the other cast? Do we need to know more about this plot or is it good to leave so much open ende...

Our next BAD MOVIE MONTH is here with another BAD SEQUEL as we move into the movie that killed the Superman franchise for nearly 20 years, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace from 1987. Just how bad is this movie? Is it so bad it’s actually secretly good? Does Christopher Reeve give a very underrated performance in this movie? Why are we glad that some of the Two and a Half Men are in this movie? Do we understand the plot of ...

The good episodes are back and so are your favorite podcasters! Rossi and Jarrod are here to talk about episode 4 of The Amazing Race 36. We praise the inclusion of breaking and our connections with the sport, talk up the fight between Amber and Vinny, and question all the phrases thought up by Sunny and Bizzy. We also get hype about the dog on the escalator, wonder about the longevity of these alliances, and question what...

We’re here for the first part of a special two week extra episode stretch of our 24 coverage as we bring you a recap of The Simpsons episode that directly parodied the show we love, 24 Minutes, the 18th episode of the 21st season! How do we feel about this episode as an episode of The Simpsons? How do we feel about this episode as an episode of 24? Are we somewhat disappointed that there isn’t more Kiefer in this episode? ...

It’s time to get to your favourite month of the year with BAD MOVIE MONTH as we get into a month of bad sequels by starting with the infamous Jaws: The Revenge from 1987. Is this a movie that should have more of a cult following? Why should the makers of this film gone even more camp and silly with it to play into the premise? Is Lorraine Gary underrated as an actress? What do we think of Michael Caine in this movie? Do we...

We’re back and your host, much like the teams, is a hot mess. Rossi, Jarrod, and Kristan sit down to chat about the exhilarating episode 3 of The Amazing Race 36. We chat about how let down we are by the production of the season, praise the early tower challenge and how it affected the rest of the leg, and dive into the emergent backpack strategy. We celebrate how great the cast is despite the season flaws, admire the edit...

We made it. We made it through Season 6 of 24. Phew! It was a tough one, but we did it and that means that we’re here to bring it all to a close as we wrap up the most contentious season in the history of the show in true Oz Network style! That means it’s time to go over all the big stories, the little ones, Jack being awesome, Jack being all over the place, Jack’s silly family drama, Jack being a vampire and all that othe...

We’re closing out GHOSTBUSTERS MONTH with the latest addition to the franchise by going over the 2021 film that is Ghostbusters: Afterlife! How do we feel about this movie? Is this movie filled with many of the same issues as the 2016 movie that nobody talks about? Why is there so little Paul Rudd and why do we want more Paul Rudd? Why does this franchise seemingly rely so much on cast members from Young Sheldon? Are the c...

Much like the show we are continuing with the race in Mexico. Rossi and Jarrod are here to break down episode 2 of The Amazing Race 36. We share our thoughts of how much of a hot mess the teams are, debate whether these forced rivalries are working for the show, and question how hard it is to find a bridge. We also criticize the low budget challenges and wonder if Danny’s version of the show has greater production value, w...

It’s finally here! The finale of season 6 of 24! HOORAY! And we actually are excited to bring it to you today with a fairly solid episode as we recap episode 24, 5am-6am. How epic is this episode? How epic are the explosions? Why does the scene with Jack and his dad just fall so flat? Why is the President Suvarov all of a sudden so nice to Vice President Daniels? Do we care about Chloe being pregnant? How lucky is Jack tha...
