Welcome to Parallel Quest! In this week’s episode the guys (Zach and Cody) talk about the film 300. This testosterone filled film of men willing to sacrifice everything in order to protect their land and way of life is one that the guys really enjoyed when it first came out. But does the highly choreographed action and rather over the top perspective on heroism stand the test of time?

Welcome to Parallel Quest! In this week’s episode Cody and Zach discuss a classic tale of summer, The Sandlot. This is a movie that is a staple to many a childhood of the millennial generation. The Sandlot came out at a time where baseball was beginning to get to its highest point of popularity while also highlighting the summer shenanigans that so many kids get themselves into. Does the Sandlot pass the test of time though? As we have gotten older is this still a movie that we could sit down and watch anytime? As the guys discuss in the show, they do not have nearly as much nostalgia for this movie as many people who grew up with it will have. However, there are a lot of things within this movie that the guys still find really enjoyable. 

Stick around all the way to the end to hear the guys thoughts on a possible Brandon Sanderson on screen adaptation that sounds like it is in the works.

Welcome to Parallel Quest! In this week’s episode Cody and Zach give their in-depth review on the new Disney’s latest adventure in the Star Wars saga, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Does this show put Star Wars back in a place that it deserves to be in? Or is this yet another squandered opportunity from the new era of Lucasfilm? There are elements in the show that are both worthy of praise, but there are matters that also deserve to be highly scrutinized. With the importance of legacy characters in the Star Wars universe, the guys had hoped that Obi-Wan’s adventure would turn out more interesting and entertaining than the one that we most recently went on with Boba Fett. While there are definitely some highs in the show’s 6 episode run, there are just a ton of issues with the story, causing it to struggle in attaining a spot in the upper echelon of Star Wars films.

Welcome to Parallel Quest! In this week’s episode Cody and Zach talk about the one rather good film of George Lucas’s Star Wars prequels: Revenge of the Sith. The Star Wars prequel films are most definitely a mixed bag amongst fans of the franchise. With a little bit of time though, it seems like these have aged much better with fans than the initial reception of their release in the early 2000s. While Revenge of the Sith is the highlight of the film trilogy, it still does not reach the same heights that were attained in the original run of Star Wars films. It is a film that gets rather bogged down by poor dialogue and direction, which lives in a rather compelling narrative. Anakin’s turn to the dark side plays out in very traditional fashion, following many of the tried and true methods of the tragic hero, and giving audiences a rather satisfying bridge to the Darth Vader that many grew up with. But how do the guys feel about this film many years after its release? With so many movies in the Star Wars universe at this point, how does it compare to the rest?

Welcome to Parallel Quest! In this week’s episode Cody and Zach talk about one of their favorite adventure movies ever made: Raiders of the Lost Ark. Between Star Wars and Indiana Jones, Lucasfilm delivered some of the most fun filled films for the better part of a decade. Currently the film studio seems a bit lost in their identity as they have tried to bring Star Wars back, but in 1981 with the first film in the Indiana Jones franchise, we got to witness Lucasfilm when it was at its best. In this episode the guys discuss their first experiences with Dr. Jones, point out the parts in the film that are exceptional, examine why McGuffins work for the entirety of the series, and share a unique perspective on what they believe to be the narrative tone of the film. We hope you enjoy this episode and be sure to let us know what you think!

In this week’s episode Cody and Zach discuss their thoughts on a couple of shows and movies that they were excited about at the beginning of the year, providing their thoughts now that said projects are out. With the release of Kenobi, Cody shares his initial impressions of the first couple of episodes and his general concerns. This leads to a discussion between the guys of how “good” Star Wars actually is. Despite modern pessimism towards the franchise, it is important to remember that it has roots in greatness.

For the main topic of this week’s episode, Cody and Zach discuss the Action-Horror hit of 1999, The Mummy. While this movie might be standard action material, it does quite a few good things within the story that make it a very easy and enjoyable watch. The world was a different place in 1999 and our standards for a blockbuster were much different, but this is one that the guys believe has stood the test of time. The modern blockbuster really could learn a lot from the success of films like the Mummy and late 90’s and early 2000’s mega hits, especially if there is going to be success in the cinema outside of massive superhero franchises.

Cody and Zach decide to share an update on some of the things that they have been watching recently and give their recommendations on whether or not they are worth your time. With Halo being one of Zach’s most anticipated releases of the year, he gives some interesting insight on what he thinks of how the show starts off. This leads to a discussion on the importance of the man behind the mask in storytelling. Is it important to keep the man’s identity secret for a longer period of time, or do we connect with the character more when we are able to see his face?  The guys both have different opinions on what they think about the first three episodes of the show.

Moon Knight is one of the latest heroes to be added into the pantheon of MCU protagonists, and the show starts off by giving us a very interesting premise. Listen in as Zach begins to convince Cody of potentially starting to dive into an MCU show, seeing as Cody hasn’t had much interest in any of the MCU Disney+ projects.

When we sat down and started to review the Book of Boba Fett, one episode at a time, we thought that we were in for a treat. In spite of the fact that the season started off slow, Cody and Zach believed that the show was in good hands with John Favreau at the helm. However, the guys came to the conclusion that the show did not live up to the expectations that they had for it. That doesn't mean that the show was an absolute travesty, but rather that it just wasn't what they were looking for, nor what many Star Wars fans were looking for. In this episode of Parallel Quest, Cody and Zach give their final thoughts on the Book of Boba Fett, hoping that after the release of this show, we will experience something better with Obi-Wan Kenobi now that it is released.

The long awaited sequel to Dr. Strange has been released and the guys at Parallel quest, sit down to give their spoiler-filled review. While this is a highly anticipated summer blockbuster and delivers a lot of fun, it is fair to say that this installment within the MCU is a bit of a mixed bag. There are strong elements that make the movie a joy to watch, but weak elements that take away from the plot and storytelling which is a bit disappointing. Zach as a longtime fan of horror, likes a lot of what  is delivered upon in Multiverse of Madness but offers fair critiques. Cody, who tends to not veer towards this type of film, found himself liking it quite a bit more than he probably would have expected. The guys come together to try to give a fair assessment of the second Dr. Strange film in this latest episode of Parallel Quest, but we would love to know more about what you think about the movie. Did you love it or hate it? Did the superhero/horror crossover work for you? How important will this movie be down the line as we continue on in phase 4 of the MCU?

Dumb and Dumber is one of the best comedies of the slapstick variety. Before it ever hit the screen it was a movie that no production company wanted to back, but after its wild success it goes to show that executives aren’t always right on what people are going to like. While Dumb and Dumber is a film that Cody and Zach think is hilarious now, their first impression of it was not nearly as high as it has become. Listen in to this episode to see what it is about the movie and the guys that changed their perspective after their first viewing of it. Also listen in for facts and stories about how this movie got to the screen and who the original cast members were desired to be. While Dumb and Dumber is crammed with hilarious moments, the guys will share with you their personal favorites and we would love to hear your favorites as well.

The Batman released at the beginning of March to positive reviews from critics and mostly good reception from fans. The success of the film shows that reboots and remakes still are not going to disappear anytime soon in the foreseeable future. While The Batman can definitely be recognized as a success, it is not a flawless movie, in fact it has quite a few of them. Some of the early hype around the film had some people coming out and saying that this is the best Batman ever to release, which Cody and Zach have some thoughts about.  The guys share their initial reviews in a spoiler free manner, followed by an in depth discussion of deeper analysis on the storytelling and character journeys in the latest adventure of the World’s greatest detective.

Book of Boba Fett episode 3 was what the guys were asking for in concept, but the execution of it was not nearly as rewarding as what they hoped for. In this week’s review the guys break down the various different things in the episode that either didn’t work well or just turned out to be underwhelming.

SPOILERS.

Fighting a wookie, bringing in a rancor, and a “speeder chase,” were not enough to make this episode hit the level of entertainment that this show should be able to achieve. In its 38 minute run time, chapter 3 of the Book of Boba Fett is not atrocious but rather just average. However, there are certain intellectual properties that should never settle for average and Star Wars is one such property.
