Franchise Killer

Ep. 150 - Tron: Legacy

What better way to celebrate our 150th episode than cover a mixed bag of a sequel whilst understaffed and mildly inebriated. That's right, it's TRON: LEGACY time, and while we found that the movie never reaches its full potential, it still does a lot of things right and aesthetically, it's pretty much bullet proof. The big question, though, is does it do enough to surpass the original? What are YOUR thoughts on TRON: LEGACY?

Ep. 149 - Tron

On this episode we talk about TRON! There are discussions about whether or not this film deserves its status as a classic, what it did for CGI, Jeff Bridges' ability to inject life into even the most lifeless projects and we also go off on one too many Robocop tangents. What are your thoughts on Tron?

Ep. 148 - Ender’s Game

On this episode we jump into the world of ENDER'S GAME. It's a movie based off of a surprisingly dark science fiction YA novel. One of us has read the book and the others haven't. Guess who is disappointed?

Ep. 147 - The Matrix Resurrections

This week we're closing out THE MATRIX franchise with THE MATRIX RESURRECTIONS. Many a strong opinion is had on this episode and things get pretty contentious a few times, but what did you expect from an episode covering one of the most divisive releases in recent memory? What are YOUR thoughts on the film?

Ep. 146 - The Matrix Revolutions

On this episode we close out what for a long time was the Matrix trilogy with THE MATRIX REVOLUTIONS. It's the only one of the three to be mixed-to-negatively received and left a bit of a stink on the franchise. Since then, the stocks of RELOADED and REVOLUTIONS have risen, but do we side with the original consensus, or do we feel this one was unfairly maligned? More importantly, what are YOUR thoughts on this movie and the trilogy as a whole?

Ep. 145 - The Matrix Reloaded

We may still be riding the high after watching the absolutely stellar THE MATRIX, but duty calls, so we're diving right into the sequel: THE MATRIX RELOADED. The film was arguably one of the most anticipated movies of its time, and is often sited as a bit of a disappointment when compared to the first. Still, it and it's sequel have seen a bit of a re-appraisal. Do we agree with the original consensus that this is not a good film, or are we compelled by the direction it takes. Find out in the episode. 

Ep. 144 - The Matrix

This week we're diving into another BIG franchise...THE MATRIX! A film that triggered the first Keanu Reeves renaissance and catapulted The Wachowskis into mainstream consciousness. We talk about this film's many technological advancements, it's action, the music, the actors, the philosophy! It's got it all. What are your thoughts on THE MATRIX?

Ep. 143 - Ready Player One

NEW MINISERIES ALERT! We're kicking off the "Simulation Theory" miniseries with the divisive Steven Spielberg-directed film: READY PLAYER ONE. It's one of our more contentious discussions and some (faint) battle lines are drawn. What are you thoughts on this nostalgia-fueled CGI fest?

Ep. 142 - Baahubali 2: The Conclusion

We've come to the end of another miniseries, and what better way to close it out than with a movie that literally has "Conclusion" in the title. That's right, this week we're talking about the epic finale to the Baahubali franchise...BAAHUBALI 2: THE CONCLUSION!

Ep. 141 - Baahubali: The Beginning

This week we talk about our first Tollywood film, BAAHUBALI: THE BEGINNING! This epic genre fusion filled with abrupt tonal shifts worked wonders on us and had us pumping our fists and waiting with bated breath for the sequel. While it's not perfect, every element of this movie provoked lively conversation. What are YOUR thoughts on BAAHUBALI: THE BEGINNING?
