Dearest Radults, Halloween, Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, what many would say are the three staple horror movies of the 80’s. Sure, they’ve held their value and production over the past few decades and nearly everyone in America can tell you the origins of Michael, Jason, and Freddy. But what movies of the 80’s really deserve the spotlight that these films have? Because,…
Travel back in time with us to the long-ago time before there was a DC Extended Universe. That’s right, the historical year 2013! Starting with Man of Steel, the all-knowing executives at DC began pumping out movies like they were Fazoli’s franchises, and just like Fazoli’s franchises, once you get in the door, you get pretty sick to your stomach. Q and J put on…
Now that grocery stores around the country have told us that Halloween season has started, J and Q are celebrating by kicking off our “Here Comes Halloween Director’s Series”!

Grab your oversized shoes, red nose, and rainbow wig, this episode is completely dedicated to clowning around!

And of course, we are wrapping up the episode with the definitive list of the…
It was only a matter of *burp* time before J and Q would get around to dedicating an entire episode to Rick and Morty, and *burp* the time has finally come.

With the release of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark this week, coupled with our fandom following of the G-man himself, Q and J decided it was finally time to sit down and discuss just what makes Guillermo del Toro such a visionary director. Nothing is off-limits as we dive into the merits of Mimic, the underserved Devil’s Backbone, and even try to get…
One thing Dwayne “Seriously, You’re Still Calling me The Rock” Johnson is great at is spinning off movies from other movies. Just look at Scorpion King or this week’s Hobbs & Shaw. Giving ourselves another excuse to talk at length about The Rock and LEGO Batman, Q and J are diving into what constitutes a true spin-off movie and deciding, once and for all, what…
With the release of Once Upon a Time In Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino’s 9th (and possibly penultimate) film, J and Q wanted to talk Tarantino, but everyone does that. We, instead, decided to dive into the heart of what gives Tarantino movies their soul: the music!

Everything the light touches…is Disney’s kingdom; and that means we’ll be getting live-action remakes of classic Disney favorites until they run out of movies to remake.
