🦑 EPISODE 177 - STRANGE DAYS 🦑 This week we’re talking about the difficult to watch but impossible to forget 90s cyberpunk cult classic STRANGE DAYS

A good genre of movie is when Ben Foster is an older brother with a checkered past

I think The Beekeeper 2 should have Jason Statham staying with and tending to the property of another kind elderly person and then the exact same thing happens

The listeners have theories about this weeks movie

@blastzonepod.bsky.social you guys actually made me pause and watch the movie before the podcast.

🐶EPISODE 176 - UNDER THE SILVER LAKE 🐶 We're on the hunt for Silver Lake's mysterious dog killer in this week's episode, as we dissect David Robert Mitchell's 2019 paranoid odyssey UNDER THE SILVER LAKE

Under The Silver Lake (2019)

It was the best of times (eating popcorn in the movie theater), it was the worst of times (finishing your popcorn 11 minutes into the movie)

What's your favorite film genre? Mine is the Wikipedia page for whichever horror movie I'm too afraid to watch.

🦅EPISODE 175 - LADYHAWKE 🦅 We’re back and we’re covering Richard Donner’s 1985 medieval fantasy epic LADYHAWKE

Another entry into the pantheon

💰EPISODE 174 - OUT OF SIGHT💰 We’re revisiting a 90s classic heist/comedy/romance from Steven Soderbergh, OUT OF SIGHT

Grimace is in the Criterion Closet and he’s eating all the discs.

🌚 EPISODE 173 - FIRST MAN 🌚 Ryan Gosling is in space! Nope not that one. Not the Star Wars one either, that’s next year. We’re checking in with Damien Chazelle’s 2018 Neil Armstrong biopic FIRST MAN.

Watching Crime 101. Mark Ruffalo should keep playing progressively more disheveled detectives until eventually his character is just a bunch of used coffee filters in a suit

Now watching: HOPPERS (2026)

New list! Hit me with any suggestions we may have forgotten boxd.it/Tb7HY

🦅 EPISODE 172 - TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE 🦅 I promise we didn’t plan this. But this week we’re going back to dissect the Iraq War-era satire from the South Park creators. It’s TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE time.

@blastzonepod.bsky.social add this to the docket for next January

🚑 EPISODE 171 - AMBULANCE 🚑 Join us for a scenic tour of Los Angeles from the back of the titular vehicle as we cover Michael Bay’s 2022 bomb AMBULANCE

I was terrified of apes for YEARS after my dad took me to see this movie (he was mauled to death by a gibbon in the AMC parking lot)

Now watching:

🤖EPISODE 170 - SHORT CIRCUIT 2 🤖 We’re going all the way back 1988 for one of the original cute movie robots. It’s SHORT CIRCUIT 2

if you need a temporary break from the ongoing horrors, the Blast Zone episode on One Battle After Another is such good company, listened to this and made a massive batch of corn green chile salsa, to accompany chile verde, and it helped

To me, he is perfect

Been meaning to watch Lord Of Illusions for ages, finally got to it because I'm playing catchup with @blastzonepod.bsky.social

Maybe we need to enunciate better

🧬 EPISODE 169 - ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER 🧬 We’re wrapping up our 2025 retrospective with the likely front runner for best picture: Paul Thomas Anderson’s ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER

Dr. Kelson:

🚀EPISODE 168 - MICKEY 17🚀 We continue our look back at 2025 with an episode about Bong Joon Ho’s return to the big screen, it’s MICKEY 17

Marty Supreme? More like… more like One Paddle After Another

If you’ve ever wondered what we talk about when we’re not doing the pod

⚡️EPISODE 167 - THUNDERBOLTS* ⚡️ Antiheroes. Action. Asterisks. What more do you need? About another $100,000,000 in box office receipts to start. This week we’re covering 2025’s THUNDERBOLTS*

Every movie’s success should be measured in relation to The Accountant 2

deadline.com/2026/01/kate... We need this

😷 EPISODE 166 - EDDINGTON 😷 We’re back from the holiday break with our first Ari Aster movie, it’s 2025’s EDDINGTON

When you’re getting ready to record the Thunderbolts* pod

Big box office showdown this weekend. Biblical animated feature DAVID going up against Avatar: Fire and Ash. If only there was some kind of parable or old story we could compare it to.

Tired: "Die Hard is a Christmas movie" Wired: "The Green Knight is a Christmas movie"

Couldn’t remember who Clifton Collins Jr played on Justified but luckily Google was there to help

Really excited to check out Train Dreams but I wanted to read the book first

We're pretty sure, with respect, if there was some news about Buckaroo Banzai, we would've heard

👾EPISODE 165 - THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE 8TH DIMENSION 👾 We’re back with the extremely strange but also extremely charming 1980’s sci-fi comedy THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE 8TH DIMENSION

If you call your sequel The Accountant ² I’m expecting even more accounting than the original. But no. It’s just a bunch of people getting murdered

☢️ EPISODE 164 - The Man From U.N.C.L.E. ☢️ This week we’re doing our first Guy Ritchie movie! But probably not our last. It’s 2015’s stylish spy action comedy THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E.

Watching Black Phone 2. It’s ok but I’m not sold on The Grabber’s new catchphrase of “watch out, ima grab ya!”

Not to pit two kings against each other, but this guy should have gotten some of the attention Baby Yoda got

🪄 EPISODE 163 - LORD OF ILLUSIONS 🪄 We wrap up Blastober with the most frightening creatures we’ve seen yet: magicians. It’s Clive Barker’s third and final film, 1995’s LORD OF ILLUSIONS

I need them to make The Substance 2 but it’s just news coverage of the events from The Substance
