In the last few weeks the world lost several pop culture icons. One who meant a lot to us here on the show was Tim Curry. Often referred to as the ultimate cult actor, Curry had very few detractors. Often times he was the bets part of everything he was in. So it seemed fitting to review not just the role that put him on the map, but what some consider to be his most iconic role: The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Released in 1975 the film became one the biggest cult sensations in the history of film. The movie has inspired decades of screenings, reenactments, merch, and more. So what about this film struck a chord with so many? Let's discuss

We end phase 2 OF COURSE...with Ant-Man. Yeah bit of a weird movie to end a phase on but here we are. This movie's production history is no secret. It was SUPPOSED to be an Edgar Wright film. A scramble happened to find a new creative team. Even the marketing seemed very confused as to what type of movie this was supposed to be. But it came out and was a big hit. Ended up on the summer Top 10, got even stronger reviews than the much more anticipated Avengers: Age of Ultron, and added a new hero to the Marvel Sandbox. How did this film win over so many? Let's discuss

Following a homerun with the first Avengers and a strong showing in 2014, Marvel seemed poised to hit another homerun with the hotly anticipated Avengers: Age of Ultron. The sequel alluded to a much deeper, darker movie. Reception however, wasn't quite as strong. While it did of course make another $1B critic and audience reception was a little more mixed. Today this is regarded as easily the worst of the Avengers films. Is there any merit to that? Let's discuss

How does it hold up 20 years later?

2014 saw Marvel take at the time, it's biggest gamble. Even by comic book reader standards the Guardians of the Galaxy were pretty obscure. After the movie however they became household names. The film soared to greater heights than even Marvel imagined, sending careers into the stratosphere. What about this movie struck such a chord with audience? Let's discuss

In 2014 Marvel made a movie that would change the course of the entire MCU. Not only would it make Captain America one of the faces of the franchise, but it would also feature the hiring of the Russo Brothers which would be one of the biggest moves Fiege and Co. would make. Captain America: The Winter Soldier is still regarded as not just one of the best films in the MCU but one of the best Comic Book Movies of all time. How did this take no one's favorite Avenger and make him a star? Let's discuss

Phase 2 continues as we check back in with Thor in his sequel, Thor: The Dark World. While this did make substantially more money than the first it didn't really strike a chord with critics or audiences. Why? Let's talk.

We now enter Phase 2 of the MCU. After the massive success of The Avengers, it made sense to return to their most popular hero Iron Man. This time Jon Favreau steps away from the director chair to make way for the man who really jumpstarted the RDJ comeback, Shane Black. Despite the high box office, fans were left split on the film for one big reason. What was it? And where do we fall? Let's talk about it.

We realized something incredible about our show: Over 200 episodes and not once have we ever talked about Meryl Streep. An icon in the world of film her breath of work and accolades speak for themselves. we sought to rectify this and with the sequel out we thought this was a great time to look at The Devil Wears Prada. On paper this movie should've gone by the wayside, but several things elevated it to be one of the most iconic films of the 2000s. One of the big ones being Meryl Streep. How exactly? Let's talk about it.

The first time the Avengers assembles on screen it was an event like no other. It was met with a lot of excitement and also a lot of skepticism. The movie we had been promised ever since the first Iron Man was here and the stakes had never been higher for both out heroes and the franchise as a whole. Of course, we know now the film was a massive success but given how the landscape of this franchise and superhero movies has evolved, does it still hold up? Craig Gaynier is here to talk about that with us
