    Ep. 86 - F1: The Movie
    Jul 2 2025
    If you’ve seen a movie in the last month, or have used an Apple product, then you’ve seen the trailer for “F1: The Movie”. I’m going to be honest and say that I didn’t have much hope for this. Brad Pitt as an aging driver showing a young hotshot (Damson Idris) the ropes on professional F1 Driving didn’t scream excitement for me. However, I was wrong! This movie with the tired trope of “passing the torch to the younger generation” was exactly what I needed in ta movie right now. Combine that with razor sharp cinematography and a fun soundtrack and you have a kick ass time in the theaters!

    Ep. 85 - Top Cannon and Carolco movies (with Ukrainian film critic/author Davyd Klimov)
    Jun 30 2025
    Growing up in the late 80’s and early 90’s, everyone was in love with Cannon and Carolco movies. When your mind thinks of 80’s action movies, the first movies that come to mind is from one of those production companies. I met Ukrainian author and film critic Davyd Klimov after he reviewed my proof of concept Bishop’s Day. His honest criticism of movies and love of cinema made me want to bring him on the pod and chat like true film nerds. He and I had a lot of things to talk about, so kick back and be prepared to get a lot of info on 80’s action and more! When you’re done with the pod, check out his book To Watch, or Not To Watch, which is filled with reviews that Klimov recommends and … doesn’t.

    Ep. 84 - 28 Years Later
    Jun 26 2025
    It’s been 23 years since 28 Days Later and 18 years since 28 Weeks Later; does the franchise have anything left in it? Well, I thought so!
    Instead of a zombie flick, writer Alex Garland crafted a very in-depth look at the rite of passage in society and having to do the right thing even when you’re not old enough to comprehend what that means. I bet you didn't see that coming!
