Movie Schmovie

Ron, Steve, and John oil up their muscles and grit their teeth and get down to the highly masculine business of talking about a couple of big sweaty action movies, Zack Snyder's return to zombie madness, Army of the Dead, and Guy Ritchie's Wrath of Man, an elegantly shot movie all about how dumb it is to piss off Jason Statham.

Ron, Steve, and John celebrate 300 episodes (!!!) and 10 years (!!!) of Movie Schmovie by inviting a parade of past guests to pick their favorite movie of the last decade, referred to by scholars as The Schmovie Era. This is the only friends reunion that matters.

Ron, Steve and John cover some film industry news and then chat about Profile, the new “Screenlife” thriller from Focus Features, about a British journalist who attempts to infiltrate ISIS online.

Ron, Steve, and John try to parse all the MCU news dropped this week, including a packed slate of release dates and some intriguing title announcements. Then, they reveal whether they have any regrets about watching Michael B. Jordan's play for action hero status, Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse (available on Amazon Prime Video), before wrapping up the episode with a look at the new animated feature, The Mitchells vs the Machines (available on Netflix), a funny and poignant family adventure.

Get over here! Ron, Steve, and John are here to cover the ups and downs of this year’s weirdly anti-climactic Oscar ceremony. And if you listen NOW, to counter-balance the discussion of films that get awards, a chat about the new Mortal Kombat reboot is included FOR FREE. Finish it!

Ron, Steve, and John talk about Nobody, the new, insanely violent action flick starring Bob Odenkirk, as well as a sampling of recent movie news.

Pop a few Hypnocil tablets and get ready for some b-words, because Fred Krueger is back, and he’s up to his usual hijinks! Namely appearing in the dreams of teenagers to torment and murder them. Luckily Ronald, Steve, and John, aka the Podcast Warriors, are here to balance the scales with a long look at two of Fred’s best movies, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, and A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master.

Now that the whole gang has seen Godzilla vs. Kong, they discuss the MonsterVerse saga so far, including Godzilla (2014), Kong: Skull Island (2017), Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), and the new hit film. It’s a flawed but fun bunch of movies, with some arresting visuals and a sense of scope. But where are the characters? Listen in and see if we found any.

Ron, Steve, and John enter this episode with no plan but along the way they cover some exciting Knives Out news; share some quick non-spoiler-y thoughts on this week’s big franchise release, Godzilla vs Kong; and dig into Operation Varsity Blues, the new doc about the college admissions scandal.

Ronald, Steve, and John bookend their SXSW coverage with a discussion of more films they've seen at the fest, as well as thoughts on the overall online attendance experience. Then they turn their attention to a brand-new genre-hopping movie, Happily, about a seemingly perfect couple and their circle of friends.
