I was going to add that Manhattan and/or remake need to be at the bottom, but clearly we differ there.

Oh, that’s a good list! I feel like everyone has their pet New Line to put in the top three. My editor was really pushing for Freddy v Jason at number three.

I did catch Part III in 3D this past weekend, which is a much better experience, but it wasn't enough for me to bump it up to the second half of the list.

Friday the 13th Movies Ranked We look at all of Jason Voorhees' slash-happy adventures, from worst to best!

For @denofgeek.bsky.social, I ranked the #fridaythe13th movies from worst to best: www.denofgeek.com/movies/frida...

It's true! I got to tag along with Sarah to talk about log jams, spaghetti slips, and spiritual existentialism with the Fear of God fellas. Check it out!

One Battle After Another Ending Explained Paul Thomas Anderson implants deep meaning into the final scenes of One Battle After Another, contrasting love against hate...

For @denofgeek.bsky.social, I went long on the ending of #onebattleafteranother and its depiction of the human love that charges the ongoing fight against White Supremacy: www.denofgeek.com/movies/one-b...

Coming home from One Battle After Another to watch the latest Peacemaker really underscored that pop culture is recognizing that White Supremacy is inextricable from American power and is enforced by the police (or police stand-ins in Peacemaker).

Wolf Man remains one of my favorite movies of the year, so I was glad to get the chance to talk about it on the show.

Michael Chiklis on The Senior, Tough Characters, and Fantastic Four's The Thing Exclusive: Actor Michael Chiklis talks about returning to football in his new movie The Senior and his time as Marvel's Ben Grimm.

For @denofgeek.bsky.social, I talked with Michael Chiklis about his new movie The Senior and a bit about a #fantasticfour return:

Look, I'm loving the nastiness of Absolute Batman and I enjoy The Dark Knight and The Batman. But these things work because they build off the inherent silliness of the character, and we need more stories that just a silly, simple character be silly and simple.

Have We Forgotten Batman Is for Kids? New research data on Gen Alpha shows Batman barely registers with young audiences when compared to Spider-Man, Avengers, Minecraft, or Wednesday Addams. Is that a long-term problem for the Dark Knight...

We shouldn't be surprised that kids are less interested in Batman because very few good Batman stories have been made for kids in the past decade. Which is a problem, because Batman (like all superheroes) is fundamentally for kids (for @denofgeek.bsky.social): www.denofgeek.com/movies/forgo...

Sneakers Remains Robert Redford's Most Underrated Performance Robert Redford leaves behind a host of excellent performances, including one in an under-appreciated '90s thriller.

For @denofgeek.bsky.social, I wrote a little bit about my favorite Robert Redford performance, in Sneakers: www.denofgeek.com/movies/sneak...

Star Trek Crews Ranked from Worst to the Real Number Ones The voyages of the starship Enterprise and its sisters have involved some fantastic crews.

For @denofgeek.bsky.social, I ranked the #startrek crews from worst to best which, like most franchise-wide articles I write, is kind of a rough draft for an article I'm going to eventually write about how Carol Freeman is the best Starfleet captain: www.denofgeek.com/tv/star-trek...

Seven Remains Morgan Freeman’s Best Performance Morgan Freeman's stunning, subtle acting makes Seven an even more upsetting movie than we thought.

Brad Pitt and Kevin Spacey get all the attention in that last scene of #seven, but Morgan Freeman is doing incredible acting there, and throughout the movie. I wrote about it for @denofgeek.bsky.social: www.denofgeek.com/movies/seven...

Nothing makes Google's AI look dumber than searching up random deep-cut alien races from DC Comics.

Yep, same. I enjoy the eps, but Whedon just saying he’s divorcing the symbol from nasty Western tropes doesn’t make it so. Especially when butted against the Federation (which obviously has its problems, but not the same ones).

He’s trying to do that, but he’s still invoking Lost Cause narratives because he’s working in Western tropes that communicated that narrative. Same with the Reavers. You can say that they aren’t Indigenous peoples, but the signifier of Indigenous is bigger than your story’s lore.

yeeeep

oooh. you may not like the (fair, i think) real-world comparison to the browncoats i make in this article.

Why follow one unpleasant experience with another?

Serenity Villain Personifies the Sinister Side of Star Trek's Politics The Firefly movie Serenity makes a villain out of the Federation, and that's a good thing.

For @denofgeek.bsky.social, I look back at #serenity and how its assassin antagonist sure sounds like a Federation true believer from #startrek: www.denofgeek.com/movies/seren...

I feel like I understand less about this movie the more Kirstie and I talked about it. So listen to me get even more confused!

The Weird Comic Book Movies of the 1990s (That Aren't Batman & Robin) Let's look back at a time when Hollywood was more interested in indie comics and B-listers than superheroes like Hulk and Wonder Woman.

I have been listening to the #rocketeer score non-stop since writing this list of non-Batman comic book movies for @denofgeek.bsky.social: www.denofgeek.com/movies/weird...

The Conjuring: Last Rites Turns the Horror Franchise into a Schmaltzy Soap Opera The Conjuring: Last Rites isn't just a bad movie. It's a bad movie that retroactively makes previous entries harder to watch.

The new #conjuring movie stinks, and without James Wan crafting excellent scare sequences, the franchise's retrograde worldview is impossible to ignore. My latest for @denofgeek.bsky.social: www.denofgeek.com/movies/the-c...

100% the same for me! To the point that I really forget how the first 2/3s of the movie are duller rehash of the first film. The image of people peeling off their faces still makes me shudder.

No, Beneath isn't as good as the first movie, but I love that crazy last act. Take a listen!

Peacemaker and the Problem with James Gunn's DCU James Gunn is great at telling a certain type of superhero story, but DC Studios needs to tell stories for kids too.

I pretty much love everything that Gunn has done, especially with superheroes. But now that he's running DC Studios, I'm a little worried that we're forgetting that superheroes are, you know, for kids, as I argue for @denofgeek.bsky.social: www.denofgeek.com/movies/peace...

I am VERY forgettable.

We generally don't do comedy movies on the show, but we made an exception for Bud the Chud, and I'm glad we did.

Check it out!
