New S&A Episode! Lindsay & @andrewmgorham.bsky.social go back to 1985 for a Double of Code of Silence & Witness. Cops going out of their comfort zone, with a distinct flare. Schlock & Awe episodes can be found in the account profile

This was a blast. I think I'm just bad at looking at these YRF movies objectively because they tick every box when it comes to what I like about action movies. Kickass action sequences, always setting up their characters as the coolest people alive and a huge amount of over the top twists and turns

We’re back and we’re traveling all over Europe with our friend @kinoventura.bsky.social to discuss Patricia Highsmith, Tom Ripley, Dennis Hopper, Bruno Ganz, and Wim Wenders’ The American Friend! Available now wherever you get your podcasts!

I read a decent amount of online film stuff (pro reviews, social media, & Letterboxd). From that, I’ve concluded we *really* need to retire some terms & phrases that are completely over used & have made the conversation worse: “slop (& all its variants), “whips ass,” “reheated nachos,” & “cheesy.”

Feel like I never actually get much engagement on this site but sure why not?

No new episode this week but we should be back very soon!

Had fun with this but definitely mid tier Jackie for me. The fight in the arcade type place was a lot of fun but the finale fell a bit flat for me. The racing stuff is cool and all but I dont watch a Jackie Chan movie for the finale showdown to be him exclusively behind the wheel of a car

#ICYMI The Boys had on DTV tactical action master William Kaufman! Come listen to his process, his inspirations, & his work ethic as the Boys dig deep into one of their white whales. Check out MAN OF WAR, releasing July 3rd! It's one helluva recommendation from all four of us.

Huge step up from Dont Worry Darling for Olivia Wilde. Very funny, surprisingly moving, fantastic last few moments

It's here!

Went into this really wanting to love it but, outside of Milly Alcock who is legitimately great, it didnt work much for me. I've seen a lot of criticism towards the script but I think the problem is honestly more with the direction.

Theres not much I can say here that all of you, smarter than me, people have not already said so I'll for now keep my thoughts to 2 short words. HOLY FUCK

Maybe my least favourite criticism directed at any actor is "They play the same character in everything" because 90%of the time it's just not true Take Jon Bernthal for example. Plenty of criticism can be directed at him but dont tell me his work as Frank Castle is the same as his work in The Bear

Too many people who are looking forward to Supergirl are taking the "Its going to be a hit financially because I like the look of it!" approach. Just setting yourself up for disappointment people 😂 Hope you like the movie, I'm looking forward to it too! Let's not pretend the box office looks great

imagining a grizzled hardboiled detective saying this while gripping some guy's lapels at a shady bar

New S&A Episode! Lindsay @maxfischers.bsky.social tap dance around on the town and in Paris. It's all Gene Kelly. On the Town & An American in Paris. And he will dance on top of that piano. Listen to Schlock & Awe episodes from the links in the account bio

Samara Weaving is 3 for 3 on absolute bangers this year. Maybe her best performance yet, great chemistry with Kyle Gallner. Hits a lot of similar notes to last year's Eenie Meanie but manages to hit every single one even better

Advertise your BlueSky account with a Simpsons GIF

Of course The Tonight Show just had Conor McGregor on. Jimmy Fallon is fucking spineless

extremely lukewarm gaming take: if your video game has some kind of codex/bestiary where you can look up details of things you unlock and encounter, it REQUIRES and "mark all read" button so that the alert can be cleared quickly

Covered my first piece of Indian cinema on the podcast and finally got Larry back on!

How did I not know until now that Kathleen Turner was the voice of Jessica Rabbit?

Dolph plays a drummer in a Die Hard scenario. 23 minutes in he kills a man with a drum stick. For that reason, I have no notes

Covered my first piece of Indian cinema on the podcast and finally got Larry back on!

I'm excited for "I also choose this guys dead wife: The movie"

My mum literally has a framed poem that my brother, who is on the spectrum wrote when he was like 5 years old. Go fuck yourself RFK. Saying all this dumb shit with that voice that makes it sound like you swallowed a live chainsaw

NEW EPISODE! We interview Sam Rosenthal of Black Tape For A Blue Girl! We talk about his process, running a record label, cats, and more! (yes, I said cats!) Check it out and thank you @samrosenthal.bsky.social !!!

I bet Shakespeare would fuckin' love DIE HARD (1988).

Weirdly, the one thing the new Masters of the Universe made me realise is that I want to check out some more of Dolph Lundgrens filmography. Looked what was on Prime, randomly selected this one for tonight's watch

Back this week! Coming up........

Are these people aware that It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is in its 100th season

Joining us today we have Tatiana Neva to talk about her recently released action flick, Prey of Wrath! Tatiana was a delight to speak with and I hope you enjoy watching/listening to it as much as we did!

NEW EPISODE! Producer @odstspartan.bsky.social, @vycevictus.bsky.social, and Liam welcome the return of an honored guest, the man of the hour: Director Kenji Tanigaki! For all of you itching for more of THE FURIOUS, he's got you covered. 1/3 creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...

There are two different kinds of movie watchers in this world

Just unfollowed a guy on Letterboxd for calling Disclosure Day slop. Like, no worries if you don't like the movie. Totally fine, not a problem but we're not referring to work by Steven Fucking Spielberg as "slop". We're just not doing that

Anyone who discovered THE FURIOUS and wants more amazing and entertaining action films…be curious, ask for recommendations, do your research but most importantly watch what looks cool to you! You never know what will resonate and stick with you! ACTION CINEMA FOREVER!

There are two different kinds of movie watchers in this world

Subtitles here really helping me to figure out whats going on in this movie

I'd provide an answer to this prompt but Robb already gave the best one

Seeing you all watching The Furious is making me very jealous and then I'm seeing some of you fuckers getting to see it twice! At least I'm only having to wait a couple of weeks for us to get to see this one

An almost excellent run this week ruined at the last hurdle #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

I learned how incredibly little I knew about Mortal Kombat in this episode. Had a great time recording it!

Reel Early is back! Look out for Larry showing up somewhere else soon too 👀

Part of the magic of cinema is that you get to experience lives that are different to your own. This one is about a guy called Dan who's married to Samara Weaving. 5 stars (I actually gave it 4 stars)

Spielberg once again coming in to prove he's the king of making a blockbuster thats not only highly entertaining but actually feels like it's about something too. In this case, humanity's need for belief in something greater than ourselves in whatever form we can

Release of Disclosure Day is making me think its about time I feel in some of those Spielberg blind spots I've got (not necessarily for the podcast but you never know!)

Didnt really care for the movie but, man, its got one hell of a score The really interesting thing about Renny Harlin is that you can go into any one of his movies and have absolutely no idea what to expect in terms of quality. Maybe one of the most inconsistent directors of all time

First time watch of one of the biggest box office bombs of all time tonight

New S&A Episode! Lindsay & @nadinewhitney.bsky.social look at the same story with two different adaptations. Catherine wants to get married in this Double of The Heiress & Washington Square. The novel, the play and the movies. Schlock & Awe Episodes can be found in the account profile
