Episode 79 - Follow That Bird - Film Review!

July 25, 2017

We continue our ongoing series of reviewing every Muppet and Star Trek film with Follow That Bird! The emotional 1985 Sesame Street classic. We talk through all the lovely songs and nostalgia that this film unearths in us all.

Before we jump into the film we talk some Nerdy News with possibilities of humans going extinct, all too soon, and "teleporting" photons to outer space!

After the feature we have Trailer Reviews of Geostorm and Annabelle 2: Creation; which sparks a heated debate between our two hosts on the merits of films about ghosts. You won't want to miss it!

Episode 77 - Top Gun VS Iron Eagle!

June 19, 2017

Copy Cat Cinema makes its triumphant return with Top Gun VS Iron Eagle! Both from 1986. (Copy Cat Cinema is where we take two films made around the exact same time that were basically the same movie. We both pick a movie to defend as the best, debate their merits and atrocities, and laugh at the results!)

We start with some Nerdy News of head transplants for mice, 90s movie reboots no one asked for, and the unfortunate passing of OG Batman, Mr. Adam West.

We throw some Radical Recommends your way of video games and TV, then talk some Trailer Reviews of Black Panther and the reboot of Flatliners.

Episode 74 - The Muppets Take Manhattan with Tough Pigs!

March 14, 2017

For today's episode, in our ongoing series of reviewing every film in the Star Trek and Muppets film franchises, we review The Muppets Take Manhattan! To help us take on this monumental task we have Ryan Roe and Joe Hennes, co-owners of ToughPigs.com; the website for Muppet fans who grew up! These two are huge experts in everything Muppets, and you can find more about them and their site, and every thing Muppets, at ToughPigs.com, or follow them on Facebook. In both places you'll find posts daily of Muppet news, tidbits of trivia, and even exclusive interviews with the cast and crew of different Muppet productions! Be sure to check them out.

Our extensive review of the film took up most of our episode, so there is no Nerdy News or Radical Recommends this time, but we do have some listener mail and we couldn't resist reviewing the new trailer for Alien Covenant.
