30something Movie Podcast

Episode #64: Penny for Your Thoughts?

The marines have no qualms about killing Martians... and we have no qualms about discussing them! Whether you loved the 1953 alien abduction/"Red Scare" classic, this 1986 remake, or are just a lover of sci-fi B-movies in general, join us as we delve into the quagmire that is Invaders From Mars! Aliens, teachers eating frogs, Martian death rays... this movie has it all! Everything is fine now. Everything is fine...

Episode #63: No Disassemble!

Hey, laser lips! Your mother wants you to listen to our episode on Short Circuit, the classic 1986 Pinnochio/Robocop mashup starring Steve Guttenberg and Ally Sheedy. Then if you want some more A.I. fun, go watch the other movies we compare it to (Chappie and Ex Machina), because they're both great movies that explore the idea of consciousness and artificial intelligence.

Episode #62: April Fool's Day

What do you do when you have a podcast that is covering movies from 1986 and it's April 1st? You record an impromptu episode on the 1986 teen slasher spoof April Fool's Day, of course. Or do you? Is there really an episode here? Or is it 37 minutes of silence? Is it really April 1st? 

Episode #61: The Red Capes Are Coming!

Part 2 of our Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice coverage. Did Batfleck succeed? Was Wonder Woman wonderful? Was Doomsday doomed? Will Captain America: Civil War be the best Batman v Superman movie ever?

Episode #60: Batman vs Superman vs Critics vs Audiences

After a three year wait, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice was released last week. So far the reviews from fans and critics have been polarizing. Is it as bad as the critics want you to believe? Is it one of the best superhero movies of all time, as some of the fans have stated? You could be the judge... but listen to us judge first, then you can judge all you want. 
This discussion also ended up longer than we expected, so we're releasing two episodes this week: Part 1 and Part 2 of our BvS review/debate.

Episode #59: There Are No Cats In This Podcast

We take an extended look at some new movie (and a little TV) news — Indiana Jones V, Batman: The Killing Joke, Preacher, the "Screening Room" streaming movie service — then we get into our discussion of An American Tail. It's filled with a critique of movie critics, immigrant stories, Pat's righteous anger at ignorance... what more could you want?!

Episode #58: "Bah weep gragnah weep nini bong!"

Nobody summons Megatron... but we summon you to listen to the latest episode where we talk the 1986 animated epic — Transformers: The Movie. We thank Val Kilmer for listening while he mows his lawn, we talk about the movie, and we end up down a rabbit hole of Google searching 80s toys and cartoons. Are you ready for this one? Transform and roll out!

Episode #57: Compliance

We apologize that it's been 8 years since our last episode. We know we have a lot to catch up on, what with it now being 2024 and we can't explain where we've been for all this time. The best we can do is talk about movies... and what better movie from the Time Dilation genre than Flight of the Navigator? Sit down, Navigator. Enjoy!

Episode #56: Space Friends Forever

Houston, we have a problem! Space Camp was a fun kids movie from the 80s that was released at exactly the wrong time. Today, when interest in the sciences and engineering is higher than ever, this movie still resonates with audiences today. Join us as we head off into the stars with SpaceCamp!

Episode #55: Sleep Tight, Sucker.

Grab a Budweiser, mount up on your rocket launcher equipped motorcycle and God bless America... or should that be "Chuck bless America?!" It's The Delta Force.
