"COOL RUNNINGS" (1993)

I revisit the 1993 "true" story about a team of bobsledders from Jamaica who defied all odds to compete in the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, it had been decades since I last saw it.

2007'S "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" IS THE PARODY WE DIDN'T KNOW WE NEEDED

On this episode, I cover a flick that was not particularly popular upon its release, but is a legitimate master-class in parodying popular biopics of musicians, especially “Walk the Line” and “Ray”.

2015'S "The Night Before" IS A SOLID CASUAL XMAS FLICK

YES, 1996'S "Jingle All The Way" IS REALLY THAT BAD

IS "Twisters" (2024) WORTH WATCHING?

In part 6/6 of our Trading Ratings series on Action/Adventure Sequels, the only “sequel” in the series that was released nearly 30 years after the first one, does it live up?

DOES 1993'S "The Nightmare Before Christmas" STILL HOLD UP?

This time around I review a movie that was the brain-child of Mr. Dark Visuals himself, Tim Burton. It’s a musical, it’s claymation, it’s less than 80 minutes long, and it is certainly different.

"Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" THE COMPLETE 1964 RECAP

Using AI, I converted and re-edited this old audio episode to the video fomat. The AI service I used flagged it because of aggressive adult language because this 47-minute children's claymation TV movie brings out the best in me.

WHAT MAKES "Spider-Man 3" (2007) SO BAD?

In part 5/6 of our Trading Ratings series on Action/Adventure Sequels, a superhero follow-up so overloaded and terrible that it shut down the whole franchise and forced a whole disappointing reboot.
