Benicio del Toro has always had the most insane line deliveries

New from me:

To gear up for the Hard Drive Game Awards on Dec. 12 at 7pm, I am joined by fellow @hard-drive.net contributors @doctorvenkman.com, @realmfresh.bsky.social, and @nickcoffman.com for a fun and loose conversation on @moviepod.bsky.social about video game movies! open.spotify.com/episode/4ZUo...

Slipping in extended references to decades old pop culture is your most important job as a kid's movie director! That's how children build up cultural knowledge, you're depriving generations of the ability to go "oh, so THAT'S where that bit came from!" as they grow and watch more movies

I hate this thing. It should never have existed, it is an affront to all possible deities, Art and Life itself. Epic games must pay for their many crimes.

Because you're an adult you fucking muppet. You gotta pay the magic forward.

Any way, I want to plug Mike and Dalton over at Sick Flicks podcast. They also program at the Hyland Cinema where they will be playing Die Hard 2 at the end of the month. You will just have to trust me that our podcast episode was really good, funny and informative.

Who has two thumbs and forgot to hit "record" on a two-hour long discussion of Die Hard 2? This guy!

There are some really great one-liners in 80s action movies, but it's a rare case where we get a set-up, a callback, a payoff, AND a coda.

Christmas month begins on MoviePod! First up is the film that ended the Cold War. We discuss Rocky IV (both cuts) and its many excessive montages! #movie #filmsky #podcast open.spotify.com/episode/7xSU...

My ★★ review of Zootopia 2 on @letterboxd: boxd.it/bUK4CH

Day 1: Doom (1993) Day 2: Halo 2

incredibly unprofessional of the vomit hose operator to wear jeans and a t-shirt. completely breaks the 1960's immersion for me

I wrapped up and got the platinum trophy for Spider-Man 2 on PS5. Fun experience. The emotional beats and backhalf of the story worked for me. But man was combat a repetitive slog. Every encounter was the same. At least traversal was super fun. Great feeling game.

Let’s go Buffalo

I have got a bunch of good feedback on this episode. Give it a listen!

Netflix automatically putting on the English dub for Left-Handed Girl instead of the original Mandarin is evil and anti-art.

Now seated for Blood Simple

Some of these Stranger Things kids should have taken some acting courses during the six year break between seasons.

I enjoyed this rewatch a ton. What a fantastic franchise.

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it. Everyone, give @skatunenetwork.bsky.social your money. They deserve it.

Thank god I grew up with stuffing because if I’d never heard of it before and someone showed up to my house as an adult with wet bread and celery casserole my first instinct would be to beat their ass.

I was joined by @mlyp.bsky.social to discuss the ridiculously cool anime film Redline! open.spotify.com/episode/5sD3...

My ★½ review of Wicked: For Good (2025) on @letterboxd.social: letterboxd.com/bwishart/fil...

Well… Wicked: For Good has one good song number in it. What an abysmal, bleak and ugly slog the rest of the tedious journey. It inherits all the sins from the first movie as well as the weak second act of the play. So many idiotic plot reveals. I had to stifle laughter.

After our session my therapist asked hope the Buffalo Bills were doing this year. You got another hour in you to unpack that, man?

it is insanely funny to see the types of movies that the nazi right has glommed on to (American Psycho, Taxi Driver, Starship Troopers, etc) and meanwhile Donald Trump is phoning up Paramount to personally demand another fucking Rush Hour

Now seated for Twin Peaks: Ths Return - Episodes 7-9

They died for our sins

This is a plague, even if, as Kathryn says, a few the episodes that do this are great

To coincide with the new version, MoviePod is discussing the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film The Running Man podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/m...

The new Running Man

Do you accept the doof

A true Wolf Blitzer situation

Gonna root for the Roughriders this Grey Cup

This week on @moviepod.bsky.social I am joined by @birdrespecter.bsky.social and @junlper.beer to discuss the John Woo classic Face/Off open.spotify.com/episode/36A9...

Josh Allen

My mood hasn’t been great the past several days but recording a two hour episode of The Running Man last night helped and I’m going to drink and watch football all day. Go Bills. Go Roughriders

Now seated for Lost Highway

I’m reading Station Eleven and there is a reference to Hamnet Shakespeare that made me deeply emotional. I still think Hamnet is my number one movie of 2025.

This week on @moviepod.bsky.social I am joined by @birdrespecter.bsky.social and @junlper.beer to discuss the John Woo classic Face/Off open.spotify.com/episode/36A9...

Now seated for Macgruber

I need a stiffer drink if I’m going to keep watching the damn Buffalo Bills

BONUS EPISODE: I spent eight days at Forest City Film Festival. I made a short @moviepod.bsky.social episode to document some highlights of the festival including a short documentary that I make an appearance in. open.spotify.com/show/62gJb9j...

I had some big issues with the ending. My ★★★ review of Bugonia on @letterboxd: boxd.it/bDV769

NEW EPISODE OF MOVIEPOD This week we discuss the bleakest blockbuster Hollywood has ever released, Alien 3. The assembly cut has been evaluated as a much better film than the theatrical cut. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/m...
