In honor of the new Star Trek film, we’re taking a small break from comic book movies this week to yet again boldly go where no one has gone before. This week we watched 2002s Star Trek: Nemesis. The last adventure with the Next Generation crew as they have to deal with a threat from a Reman clone of Captain Picard, who has taken control of the Romulan Empire. Please download and enjoy as Leland listens to non-Trek-fan Spooky not understand anything going on in this flick.
Continuing our love of older comic book movies, we returned to old Marvel characters this week by watching 1998′s Blade. Wesley Snipes is our hero, a half-vampire known as Blade, The Daywalker. He hates vampires (like, really hates them) and his mission in life is to destroy them all. Good thing too, because the vampires are trying to raise a blood god to destroy all of humanity. Read On
With summer movie season upon us and a number of comic book movies on the horizon this year, this month we wanted to watch some of their predecessors. Starting off our month right we selected 1984′s Supergirl.
Yes, there was a Supergirl movie! Many have forgotten this, and with good reason. Supergirl is a masterpiece of something; we’re just not quite sure what that something is! So grab a beer and listen in as we discuss all things Supergirl.
It was listener’s choice week this week, and we here at Movie Issues HQ gave you a choice between three Sci-Fi flicks: The 5th Element, Alien Resurrection, and Buckaroo Banzai.
The winner was 1984s The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension! Oh, what a balls-to-walls-crazy movie! From start to finish it’s nothing but 80′s cheese and camp that has made this a cult film that fans love. Join us as we try to understand just what’s happening!
It’s creature feature week once again on Movie Issues! Leland and Spooky do love those wild, slimy, giant sized creatures that attack small towns and eat everyone. They checked in on 2002′s Eight Legged Freaks, a simple story of giant spiders attacking a small town and destroying everything in their path. Good times! Join us as we talk about our fear of bugs, B-Movie love, and all the new trailers that have got us ready for the summer movies!
This week we enter the world of Nicolas Cage, and what a world it is!
We watched 1997s Con Air. He must save a female guard from Machete, get Bubba Gump his insulin, get back to his wife and child and fight off the worst criminal ever with the worst accent ever heard in a movie – all at 30,000 feet. We also break down our favorite examples of infamous movies Cage has been in. Download to join in basking in the glorious light of Cage!
This week the guys talk about how much fun they had at this year’s WonderCon 2013: A weekend full of great geek activaties, good cosplay, and more nerds than you can shake a stick at. They talk about all the things they saw and liked. Also they watched 1987s Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol. Not the best of the series, but it had its moments, we think. At least it gave them something to discuss. So please download and remember the Police Academy series.
This week on the show Leland and Spooky discuss one of their all-time favorite films: Robert Zemeckis’ 1988 Who Framed Roger Rabbit? The movie just turned 25 years old, and the remastered Blu-Ray just hit stores last week.
They discuss their love for the film – and their love for Jessica Rabbit – and walk down memory lane thinking of other cartoon ladies they liked. No hate here, it’s all love for Roger Rabbit. Download and give some love to this fantastic flick, still holding up a quarter of a century later!
As we finish our theme of music/movies we decided to got out with a bang by watching 2010s Burlesque. Yea, we did. We did it for you, so you don’t have too. Because that’s the kind of guys we are. Listen as we try to understand what Cher is saying, what the “plot” was exactly, and who this movie is really for? So many questions, and we can’t answer them all! So please download and join us as we do our best.
Still giving love to movies with heavy music influence, the guys found themselves in Riverdale this week, watching 2001′s Josie and the Pussycats.
This movie really is a time capsule of the early 2000s pop music crazy we all found ourselves trapped in during those halcyon days. We look back at cartoons turned into live action movies, Archie comics and discuss how Tara Reid has survived this long.
So come on and download us! You know you want too! Everyone is doing it! Read On
