Commentary Track: Waterworld
For our latest commentary, the MovieFilm boys strap on our flippers and floaties and dive in to 1995’s Waterworld! The Kevin Costner sci-fi epic directed by Kevin Reynolds had a famously fraught production when it first came out, and we decided to look at it with a quarter century of hindsight to see if it was worth all the negative hubbub or whether it’s an overlooked gem that’s due for a reappraisal.Listen ad-free at Patreon: https://patreon.com/MovieFilmPodcast

Commentary Track: The Lost World: Jurassic Park
The year was 1997, and something had survived! For their latest commentary, MovieFilm boys travel to Site B and traverse The Lost World: Jurassic Park! Two decades after its release, the Steven Spielberg dino-sequel remains a polarizing entry in the Jurassic canon, and we’ve embarked on a paleontological dig to decide if it’s worthy of that rep.

Commentary Track: Back to the Future Part III
For our first commentary this month we celebrate the (belated) thirtieth anniversary of one of our favorites, BACK TO THE FUTURE, Part III!

Ep. 209: Bye-Bye Bond...
With October upon us, the MovieFilm boys take stock of the Covid-induced coma the film industry has been in since last March. Between release date shuffles and VOD maneuvers, there’s a lot of uncertainty in the air, and we try to make sense of it all. But that’s not all!

Commentary Track: Darkman
Who is DARKMAN? We attempt to answer that question in our latest commentary track, as we mark thirty years of Sam Raimi’s campy-quirky-dark superhero tale starring Liam Neeson as the horribly-scarred hero with rage issue. Listen separately or watch along as we offer our nostalgic reflections of this tale, offer behind-the-scenes stories, and just generally get transported to a simpler time, when a cigar cutter was the most terrifying thing we’d ever seen.

In addition, we chime in on news of new director’s cuts for ROCKY IV, THE GODFATHER, PART III and...TERMINATOR SALVATION?
