The Balance Movie Podcast

A week after Dexter: New Blood aired its final episode, the Balance Podcast gets back together to discuss this long awaited sequel series. 

The Balance: Resurrections. It's been about 4 months since the Balance put out their last episode as a group. Today, Kris and Micah discuss the 4th installment in the Matrix franchise, "The Matrix Revolutions." Enjoy!

Today Micah talks about Dexter: New Blood episodes 1-5. How could he not?

Today we are Off-Balance. Micah gives us a quick take on James Wan's newest film Malignant. Thank you for tuning in. 

The government sends the most dangerous supervillains in the world -- Bloodsport, Peacemaker, King Shark, Harley Quinn and others -- to the remote, enemy-infused island of Corto Maltese. Armed with high-tech weapons, they trek through the dangerous jungle on a search-and-destroy mission, with only Col. Rick Flag on the ground to make them behave.

Nothing says “summer blockbuster” like a slow-burning A24 film based on a poem based on an Arthurian legend. That’s why we’ve decided to tackle David Lowery’s “The Green Knight”,  starring Dev Patel, Alicia Vikander, Joel Edgerton and Alicia Vikander (again). Join us as we discuss the five virtues of knighthood, trippy poison mushroom giants, Groot’s dad and as usual, a bunch of other random nonsense! We just may have lost our heads on this one.

Greetings, boils and ghouls! Today we chat about the final installments of Neflix's latest horror trilogy: "Fear Street: 1978" and "Fear Street: 1666". This frightening double-feature takes us on a terrifying trip to a '70's campground with a lurking axe man, then digs up the dirt on the 'basic witch' who's been haunting Shadyside for centuries. Gillian Jacobs, Kiana Madeira and Ashley Zukerman return to complete the tale, along with newcomers Sadie Sink and Emily Rudd. Based on R.L. Stine's classic book series, this trilogy of terror certainly gave us goosebumps! Get it?... Get it?

Come with us on a journey through time and space! Season One of “Loki” has come to an end, leaving us with questions and a gnarly case of brain freeze. Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson and Sophia Di Martino star in the long-awaited series, in which Loki comes face-to-face with many variants of himself, from a badass female Loki to alligator Loki. Which one will he make out with? Find out on The Balance Podcast!

The Balance Podcast interviews author R.L. Stine about the film adaptation of his hit book series Fear Street. With such strong sexual content and gratuitous violence, we had some questions we wanted to ask. The film we discuss to today is 1994, one of three films in a series exclusively on Netflix. 

Movie review: Tomorrow War starring Chris Pratt, Yvonne Strahovski and J.K Simmons. A unique Sci-Fi concept that got some mixed reviews both from critics and your boys at The Balance Podcast. 

Don't be ashamed of who you are! That's the general theme surrounding the new Disney Pixar film Luca now streaming on Disney+. The film follows the story of a teenage sea creature named Luca who is ready to grow up and venture out to "the surface" where the land monsters dwell. We humans are the land monsters if you hadn't guessed.. Unfortunately Shane couldn't make it for this episode. Thank you for tuning in!

Look, we made you some content! Daddy made you your favorite… Open wide! This week, we discuss “Inside”, the latest comedy special from the great Bo Burnham. We laughed, we cried, and then we cried some more. We also thoroughly enjoyed the catchy music and minimalist visual effects! And then we cried some more. God please help us.

Can claiming possession by a demon get you out of a parking ticket? That’s the type of question that had us pondering while watching “The Conjuring 3: The Devil Made Me Do It”. Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return as famed clairvoyant couple the Warrens in this third installment of the horror franchise. Creepy ghost ladies, contorting bodies, and romantic flashbacks ensue. We kick things off with a REAL spooooky EVP!!

What happens when Jim from “The Office” writes and directs a smash hit monster flick? Why, a sequel, of course! John Krasinski returns to helm A Quiet Place II, and things aren't as quiet anymore. In this episode, the guys discuss the badassedness of Emily Blunt, a beardy Cillian Murphy, and how badly getting caught in a bear trap must f*cking hurt. Featuring a very special, terrifying intro. Shhhhh… and enjoy!

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. At least that’s what we hope if there’s ever a zombie outbreak on the Vegas strip! That’s exactly what Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead, starring Dave Bautista’s neck, is all about! We discuss how we wouldn’t survive a zombie apocalypse, a seamlessly edited-in Tig Notaro, and a white tiger with a bad case of ringworm. Sometimes the hand you’re dealt in life… gets bitten. Enjoy!

Have you ever spied on your neighbor? You have, haven't you? Sick freak! In our review of Neflix's psychological thrillerThe Woman in the Window, we discuss an agoraphobic Amy Adams, a mysterious Julianne Moore, a pissed off Gary Oldman and much, much more! Too much, in fact!

“Get over here!!!” (Followed by fluent Chinese banter.) The long-awaited, James Wan-produced Mortal Kombat is finally here! In this episode, we discuss the fallen bromance of Scorpion and Sub Zero, fond memories of the video game, and Shane’s totally normal attraction to demon chicks with sharp teeth. Toasty!!!

Today we are excited to announce that Shane Harris has officially joined The Balance Podcast..or shall I say "The Balance MOVIE Podcast. Just a little twekk but yes, we've changed our name.  Today we discuss the Netflix film "The Mitchells vs the Machines." A brilliant piece of animation brought to you from the same humans who gave us Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse. This film has comedy, heart and a whole lot of technology we have all grown to love and fear. Enjoy the episode!

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is now Captain America and the Winter Soldier and we couldn't be more excited. This show was well executed and has us excited to see what Marvel has in store for us with this new generation of heroes.
