Let’s Talk IMAGINARY from Blumhouse — A Spoiler-Stuffed Review w/ Guest Co-Host: Tommy Nuggetz!

Mark and I were minding our business, drinking butterbeer and burping, and having a fully frank discussion about politics and Alex Garland's CIVIL WAR, when we decided... hey, we should release this as a full-on bonus episode. Let the people hear us speak on these culturally sensitive topics! So, here we go. SPOILERS ABOUND in our review of the new A24 film - you have been warned. Along the way, we also rank Alex Garland's films, compare this to the seminal film school classic Medium Cool, and discuss AMC A-Listers making "spite reservations" in the IMAX. "What kind of American are you?" Let's find out! Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMattandMarkMovieShow . You can get access to fun podcast extras for as little as $1 a month.

Return with us to HAMUNAPTRA, the city of the dead! To celebrate its 25th anniversary this week, we're reviewing Stephen Sommers' popcorn classic, THE MUMMY. And as usual, in case you've been living in a sarcophagus for the last 25 years and somehow missed the movie… we talk spoilers pretty much right away. You've been warned! Joining this podcasting adventure is none other than our very own Producer in the Booth. We praise the cast (how can you not?!), break down our favorite Mummy moments, and learn about this film's infamous pre-production path to the screen. And yes, theme park people, we chat Revenge of The Mummy as well! HAKU MACHENTEEEEEE!!!!!!

The Outback - it's not just a chain steakhouse your parents love. It's also a godforsaken wasteland filled with sickos, spiders, and a monster deserving of its own creature feature... the RAZORBACK! We rewind back to 1984 to review this mean little movie directed by Russell Mulcahy, the visionary behind some of our favorite cult movies like Highlander and The Shadow. Braving the Australian Outback and going walkabout with us this week, is guest/friend-of-the-show/Patron, DASEIN! Go check out his music and give him a follow on Spotify, and tell him Matt and Mark sent you. So, grab your best leather duster and an ice cold Foster's, because we're talking about our favorite "animal attack" movies, discussing Risky Business (of all things!) being added to the Criterion Collection, and making a pact to never visit the land down under. EVER. CRIKEY! Support our show on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheMattandMarkMovieShow . You can get access to fun podcast extras for as little as $1 a month. Wanna be on the show?

On the docket: all the new movies making the rounds right now, on streaming and in theaters. We cover the product placement of Madame Web, the snooty Letterboxd reactions to Road House 2024, the PG-ness of the violence in Dune Part Two, the WTF silliness of Argylle, the quality of Kung Fu Panda 4, and more. Of course, along the way, we also somehow manage to talk about chatty moviegoers abroad, the AI-created Coke flavor, German beer, and Renny Harlin's oddly sexy Instagram. Tune in. Kick back.

And by us, I mean me and my guest this week -- friend-of-the-show, Dave from The Love of Cinema Podcast!  Dave and I deep-dive into  the latest Ghostbusters legacy-quel, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

Find out as we discuss the film -with spoilers!- and also get into the important stuff, like hash browns or home fries, where Mark's been hiding out this whole time, and how to correctly pronounce "Godzilla x Kong." Plus, your voicemails and comments! Everybody's gettin' in on the BUSTIN'.

Lucky you! We did the thing that every other movie podcast did this St. Patrick's Day - we rewatched LEPRECHAUN! And now, you good people get to hear about it. Joining me on this St. Patrick's Day special episode is Martin from the Film vs Film Podcast, who came in totally green to this movie, as a first-time watcher. We discuss Warwick Davis' curious needs on-set, wonder whether or not the Irish actually like this movie, and learn all about the curiously couched world of Everyman Cinemas in the UK. Grab a pint and tell the Leprechaun you found his gold -- right here, in this episode!

Friend-of-the-show Tommy Nuggetz returns to the pod to help me review the new Blumhouse joint, IMAGINARY! Come hear us discuss a movie about a scary imaginary friend that was probably written by a scary imaginary screenwriter... AKA ChatGPT. Along the way, we recommend some other, BETTER options for gateway horror movies for you youngins! Plus, we reminisce about the brilliance of NOES: Dream Warriors, the clever lore of Insidious, and the successful scares of M3GAN... all while rightfully panning this unimaginative Imaginary flick. It ain't all doom & gloom though, we also find a moment to continue praising 2024's best movie by a mile so far, The Beekeeper.

Vegas, baby! VEGAS. The Producer in the Booth returns to the show for another installment in our bonus Trip Report series! This one is all about our recent visit to Las Vegas. We gambled, we dined, we entered a multi-dimensional grocery store! And we did it all twenty minutes away from a giant Dorito. Hear us recap all of our experiences, including our visit to the Stranger Things store, the Pinball Hall of Fame, DITA Las Vegas, Omega Mart, and more. Along the way, we also chat food, hotels, slot machines, and what NOT to do on the Las Vegas Strip.

"Inception for Perverts" - that's how my guest this week chalks up eXistenZ. Even as a big fan of this movie, I have to agree with that statement. Friend-of-the-show Derick McDuff from The Underrated Podcast joins me to talk all things Cronenbergian. We dive into the new flesh, the gooeyness of David Cronenberg's filmography, the oddly Canadian performances of eXistenZ, and the decades-long toll this under-appreciated movie has faced since the release of The Matrix. Tune in and decide if this podcast is reality, or just another layer of this game we call eXistenZ.

The DOCTOR is in! Dr. Giggles, that is! On this episode, we're talking all about the forgotten 90s horror oddity, DR. GIGGLES, and wondering why it hasn't had a cult renaissance yet! Joining me this week is fellow horror fan and podcaster Rudy Ruiz from the Drinks and a Movie podcast. Go check him out and give his show a follow! In addition to praising the acting chops of Larry Drake, we attempt to track the movie's non-stop medical puns, geek out about slasher remakes from the early aughts, and hail the genius of Bob Clark's Black Christmas and 1981's My Bloody Valentine. Tune in, kick back, and enjoy! This episode is JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED.
