Adam Analyzes

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I took a look at the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem! A film that is yet another reboot of the franchise that will not die (which is a good thing!). This time around it's an animated film that was written, as well as produced by Seth Rogen and his frequent collaborator, Evan Goldberg. This one is also notable for significantly aging down the turtles, presumably to have a multi-film arc. Have a listen to find out my thoughts on why this radical reboot may still feel pretty familiar to long time fans and why if you are curious about it, you should probably give it a shot despite its short comings.

I am back with a brand new episode of Adam Analyzes & my thoughts on the brand new Christopher Nolan directed film, Oppenheimer! A movie that is at it's heart, is a historical drama, it also tries to show J. Robert Oppenheimer was with his methods and the guilt over creating a weapon of mass destruction. This is all rounded out with a fantastic supporting cast that all provide excellent performances no matter how big or small the part is. Have a listen to find out my thoughts on the movie and why if you have the opportunity, to see it in a 70mm IMAX presentation!

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I took a look at the latest effort from DC, with the delayed by years, The Flash. A film that was not just delayed by a certain beer flu, but also delayed by the new regime at DC with the hiring of James Gunn & Peter Safran but also the film's controversial star. I decided with this one to try to put aside my feelings with all of that and simply judge the film as delivered & without all of the outside factors to determine whether I would enjoy this one. Have a listen to find out my thoughts on this one and I'm sure you already know by now if this is a movie that you want to see or not.

For this week's episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I talk about my trip to New Jersey to see Jersey Girl: The Snyder Cut at Kevin Smith's SModcastle Cinemas. It was an awesome day in New Jersey that had me first going from the Quick Stop to Jay & Silent Bob's Secret Stash to finally ending up at SModcastle Cinemas where I not only got to see a rare cut of a very divided film amongst his fans, but also got to meet Kevin Smith & star of Jersey Girl, Raquel Castro! Have a listen to see why this is the version of Jersey Girl that you need to see and my run down of the whole day!

For this week's episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I took a look at the new film from James Gunn & Marvel with Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3. For me this was a long awaited return for my favorite MCU series and characters, it also marks the end of the Guardians of the Galaxy series. By now we mostly know what to expect from the Guardians and for those of us that enjoy it, this was a welcome entry, that wisely shifts the focus from Peter Quill. Have a listen to hear my thoughts on this surprisingly sweet natured end to Marvel's wonderfully imperfect heroes!!

For this week's episode of the Adam Analyzes podcast, I somewhat take a look at the Shazam sequel, Shazam: Fury of the Gods. By now we all know this is a flop for WB and DC, this is also more or less a near final death blow to the DCEU. This honestly was a tough one to talk about since it wasn't a bad movie at all and yet it wasn't all around great either, So I mostly discussed why this was a failure at the box office. Have a listen to find out whether you should check out this near final offering from DC & WB when it hits streaming since it is mostly gone from the theatre by now...

For this episode of the Adam Analyzes podcast, I take a look at the new entry in the Evil Dead franchise, Evil Dead Rise. This new entry takes the action out of the cabin and into the city with a high-rise apartment building as the new setting. This is also notable for being another entry that does not feature Bruce Campbell in his iconic role as Ash Williams...well in front of the camera at least. This also has the unique status as essentially a reboot that is also a sequel making this one a rebootquel, that may be a very important movie in the future of evil dead as a whole. Have a listen to find out why this one is a film you should definitely check out if you are a fan, why it might be ok that Ash is done in Evil Dead, and why this is a very important film in the Evil Dead Universe!

For this episode of Adam Analyzes, I return from my slight hiatus and checked out the recently released, Renfield. A film that is an original take on the well known Universal Monsters Dracula story, this one is taken to modern times with a focus on Count Dracula's familiar, Robert Montague Renfield. Oh yeah its also a film that happens to feature, NICOLAS CAGE as Dracula! Have a listen to find out my thoughts and why you should definitely check it out despite its numerous short comings!!

For this week's episode, I checked out Scream 6. The latest in the long-running slasher film franchise and second to be directed by the creative team known as Radio Silence. Picking up where the first rebootquel ended, this one wisely decides to change the setting to New York and feels like a somewhat fresh take on the standard scream formula.  Have a listen to find out my thoughts on this one and if its a scream film you should check out or if this film falls victim to too many sequels!

For this week's return of the Adam Analyzes podcast, I decided to revisit an often forgotten sequel with Bride of Re-Animator. Directed by Brian Yuzna and with a returning cast of Jeffrey Combs as Dr. Herbert West along with Bruce Abbott as Dan Cain, this is a sequel that doesn't quite live up to it's predecessor but is still a lot of fun! This sequel is also an early showpiece of awesome practical effects from KNB, who of course produced some of the best practical effects in modern movie history!! Have a listen to find out why this sequel is not just essential for fans of the series, but also why this one deserves a little bit more attention than it has received over the years!!
