047 A Maple Valley Christmas TV Movie 2022 Review

December 19, 2022 • 69 mins
Folks, it's that time of year again when the Hallmark movie channel really shines. The rest of the year they try to bring it with other seasonal-themed, predictable plot-lined love stories, but many of us just scroll on by as we flip around for something else to watch. But it takes a real Scrooge to resist the power of a Christmas-themed Hallmark romance. Other stations try to compete and some of them do a fine job, even stealing a...

038 Morbius 2022 Movie Review

November 23, 2022 • 71 mins
Murdur Durdur Pod has been on a bit of hiatus due to some technical difficulties, but we're back. This review of "Morbius" was meant to be part of a series of darker movies for Halloween, but as it's being released as an after Halloween Halloween movie review, think of it as more of a Thanksgiving appetizer. There's always some time over a holiday break for a little comic book movie action.
