Ep. 60 - Young Adult

Pop quiz, hot shot: you're a first-time director handed a spec script with an incredible action premise. Your star is a young heartthrob looking to shed his comedy persona. His co-star is an unknown actress with megawatt charm. You have budgets to consider and rewrites to manage, and somehow in the midst of that, you have to figure out how to make a city bus fly. What do you do? Find out as Geneva and Tatum discuss one of the best action films of the 1990s, Jan de Bont’s SPEED (1994).

This week we toss aside our heavy artillery and turn to science and the strength of the human spirit in an attempt to destroy one of the most formidable monsters of all time. Join us as we dive into the depths of one of cinema’s most long standing franchises with our discussion of Japan’s most recent entry, GODZILLA MINUS ONE (2023). Is this the best Godzilla film in decades? We may not be informed enough to answer that question, but we do still love talking about it!Feel free to email us at [email protected] and don't forget to follow our Instagram page!

This week, we journey to an isolated community where members live in constant fear of the creatures inhabiting the surrounding woods. Questions abound: why is this cast so stacked? Who thought Adrian Brody’s character was a good idea? How great are Joaquin Phoenix and Bryce Dallas Howard? And is this movie the beginning of M. Night Shyamalan’s downward spiral, or a misunderstood masterpiece? Grab your yellow cloak, watch out for the red berries, and for heaven’s sake stay out of the forest while we discuss the dreamlike romantic-horror-fable THE VILLAGE (2004).

This week, we venture into the strangely well-lit Paris catacombs to encounter something truly horrifying: Gerard Butler’s singing voice. Is this movie a musical disaster? A campy delight? Somehow both at the same time? Geneva and Tatum go deep on their love/hate relationship with Joel Schumacher’s maximalist, inept, and yet extremely entertaining film THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (2004).
