The Die Hard Movies – Anyway, That’s All I Got!

die hard

In celebration of Dwayne Johnson’s new action blockbuster Skyscraper, as well as the recent roast of Bruce Willis on Comedy Central, we decided to talk about the (surprisingly pretty good) series of movies known only as the Die Hard franchise. Anthony took over as host this week as we took a 25-year journey from 1988 all the way to 2013 and tried to figure out how this franchise has handily managed to keep going. Afterward, we throw out some ideas for what we’d like to see from the forthcoming 6th installment of the series, and some of our director suggestions might not be what you expect. Enjoy!

Hosted by Anthony Battaglia, Jason Read, and Sam Noland!

Question For You: How did you like Anthony as a host? Also, give us your pitch for a 6th installment in the Die Hard series.

Cinemaholics Review: Christopher Robin and The Spy Who Dumped Me

Christopher Robin

Big episode this week. I’m joined by Will Ashton and Maveryke Hines to review Christopher Robin, Disney’s latest live-action reimagining of a classic tale. Like most of you, I have fond memories of the Winnie the Pooh characters, so I’ve been quite curious about this new film since it was first announced. The reviews are definitely mixed so far, and I think you’ll hear some of that in this episode. Regardless, we had a great conversation about the film, plus some others like The Spy Who Dumped Me and BlacKkKlansman.

Ask us questions! Our Q&A episode is coming up soon, and we’re keeping track of all your questions. Comment below or send us an email to have your voice heard.

Tom Cruise is back for another mission, this time in Mission: Impossible – Fallout, once again directed by Christopher McQuarrie. I’m joined by my regular cohosts this week to review the film, Will Ashton and Maveryke Hines (who is back from his time off the show). It’s a packed episode with plenty to get into, so let’s get started.

Please send us your questions. We’re planning on doing our first Q&A episode, so ask us anything. We’ll be devoting a full episode to answering your questions, whether they be personal, professional, or downright absurd. Can’t wait to read what all of you come up with.

The Taylor Sheridan Episode – Anyway, That’s All I Got!

Taylor Sheridan

In what is somehow our second longest episode to date, we decided to take a look at the quickly-escalating career of writer/director Taylor Sheridan, in honor of this summer’s controversial new release Sicario: Day of the Soldado. We discuss the themes, politics, and marketing tactics of the new release, as well as our predictions for the planned third installment. We were all surprised to find out how much we geek out over Sheridan’s stories, and we hope that you’ll give it a listen, whether you’ve seen the movies or not. Enjoy!

Hosted by Sam Noland, Jason Read, and Anthony Battaglia!

Cinemaholics Review: Skyscraper, Eighth Grade, Sorry to Bother You

Special guest Aaron Dicer of SiftPop and CinemaSins joins the show this week to talk about Skyscraper, the latest Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson blockbuster. We also found time to discuss some recent indie releases doing good box office in their own right. There’s the new A24 film Eighth Grade, directed by standup comedian Bo Burnham, and Sorry to Bother You, directed by musician-turned-filmmaker Boots Riley.

Two directorial debuts from two unlikely media personalities. Next week, you can probably expect BILL ACTION’s feature directorial debut.

Question for you: what was your initial reaction after seeing Sorry to Bother You? And if you haven’t seen it, do you plan on checking this one out?

The Jurassic Park Series (Anyway, That’s All I Got)

jurassic park series

In what is undoubtedly our longest episode to date, we decided (against our better judgment) to revisit all five movie in the Jurassic series, from the original Jurassic Park all the way to the newly released Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, we dissect the few successes and many failures of the series thus far, all the while pondering how this franchise manages to continue, and how the hell it got to the point it’s at today. Needless to say, we have plenty of agreements, disagreements, and insights along the way, and at the end of the show we give our individual pitches for where we’d like the franchise to go.

Hosted by Sam Noland, Jason Read, and Anthony Battaglia!
