What if 'Hook' was recast in 1984?

Rewind your clocks and get ready to sprinkle some pixie dust as we reimagine the classic film "Hook" with a twist—it's 1984! Joined by the our friend from across the pon, Ash Hurry, complete with his British perspective and charm, we embark on a nostalgic journey through Neverland, re-casting our favorite characters with the era's brightest stars. 

As we navigate through the cinematic landscape of 1984, we ponder the staying power of films that continue to resonate with us. Why do certain stories, like those of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, capture our hearts time and time again? We investigate the emotional depth and critical reception of family-oriented movies, challenging the notion that whimsy can't walk hand in hand with quality. The episode pays homage to the magic woven by the original "Hook" while exploring how the top films and Oscar winners of 1984 could have influenced its early debut.

From the enigmatic Captain Hook to the effervescent Tinkerbell, we find out who could play these iconic characters in the mid 80s! Hit play to see what we ended up with!

In this episode, we talk a whole lot about depression, mental health, and the importance of taking care of it ALWAYS, "Self Help" gurus and how sometimes their advice might be counter-intuitive to someone facing depression and anxiety, the old-school mentality on going to therapy, Grand theft Auto 5 and the crazy dumb scenarios you can orchestrate when you have too much time on your hands, real-life NPC's. We also touch on the ORIGINAL Mario Bros. movie from the '90s with Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, and Dennis Hopper, Tucker Carlson bringing his show to Twitter, The John Wick films and the insane kill-count, the fantastic Breaking Bad series spin-off "Better Call Saul," brainwashing yourself by listening to music and TV while you're asleep, the 1st Amendment, and how absolutely out of control AI looks to be heading... more on that topic next week!

Put on your overalls and brush that mustache. Itza Movie Retakes!

The Super Sully Brothers power up for Nintendo memories, a review of the Mario Bros. TV, movie, and gaming franchise, pitch our own Mario Bros. retakes, and share our opinion of The Super Mario Bros. Movie from Illumination Entertainment.

This week we discuss the other Bob Hoskins' life and career play, Christmas Day games, a game packed with Hall of Famers, and swamp cabbage. Quote of the week: "It just shows you how un-corporatated this whole NFL business was." 

In the thirty-ninth episode of Season 7 (Fantastical Realities) Kyle is joined by a panel of guests, musician Ben Childs, editor Kristi Shimek, and filmmaker Michael Willer, to discuss the weirdly maligned yet enduring spiritual sequel of Peter Pan in Steven Spielberg's ode to imagination and growing up, Hook (1991).

Nicole catches a break, sitting out the majority of this episode before the A-Z of Horror season comes to consume her! Brother Brian sits in as guest co-host, to talk some video games. Stories from our youth, including some unusual choices for games that scared him, for a number of somewhat irrational reasons. We also try our best to come up with a top five of our favorite horror video games. But this is us, so if you're expecting your favorite title to make the top five, you're probably out of luck.

This is a movie podcast, though! So I couldn't let Brother Brian get away without making him suffer through a really odd video game movie adaptation for the second time in his life. The Mushroom Kingdom from the games already seems like it emerged from a drug-fueled haze. But what the hell were the writers on when they came up with this script? The main characters don't even wear their proper attire from the games until the movie is halfway over! And Goombas are large reptilian humanoids with tiny heads? Huh? And yes, that is the proper response after watching Super Mario Bros. (1993). Huh?

At least the next movie kind of sticks to the basics of the gameplay from the source material. Kicking. Punching. Martial arts action. Robert Patrick is no longer a Terminator, but he's still a villain, and he really wants the two pieces of this shiny golden medallion. Why? I don't know. Brother Brian tries to explain it, so just listen to the episode. Billy (no, not Bimmy) and Jimmy Lee are the brothers in futuristic 2007 New Angeles, who must save not only the medallion, but also local viewers from being subjected to Vanna White and George Hamilton as newscasters! And New Angeles is actually just Cleveland, in Double Dragon (1994).

Before the 2022 Chip and Dale Rescue Ranger movie that combined real life with animation.  There was the 1988 Robert Zemeckis classic "Who Framed Roger Rabbit"!  Fuck the Avengers and Justice League, this film gave us the coming together of all our beloved childhood cartoons.  Although this film is a decent enough family movie for the 80s, it wouldn't be a borderline family movie without some nightmare inducing drama (i.e shoe getting dipped).  We discuss those scenes at length plus so much more!

This week's "During the Break":
-Song parody of the Beatles - "I Want to Hold Your Hand" entitled "I Don't Want That Spam"....too much sodium.

Who Censored Roger Rabbit - Or Turned Down Gary K Wolf?

#RogerRabbit #JessicaRabbit #GaryKWolf #StevenSpielberg #Killerbowl #author #cartoon #Disney

He later attended the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, where he earned a Bachelor's degree in Advertising and a Master's degree in Communications. He served as an Air Force Captain with the 5th Air Commando Squadron in the Vietnam War, where he won a Bronze Star and two Air Medals

On this episode of the podcast, we look bad at the first live action video game adaptation to hit movie screens, Super Mario Bros.  Did this film deserve the bad reputation it received?  Find out here!

Surprise! It's a New Years movie episode. I had never seen Mermaids but heard about the performances by Winona Ryder and the debut of Christina Ricci. Charles suggested it and here we are. 

This is a delight of a film and I can't believe more people don't talk about it. Charles talks his deep connection with the film, we get into how the fashion throughout is actually incredible, and all the funny moments and quotes. 

Off-topic rants include, Charles' Tinder stories, general gossip, and tv show talk

This movie may have been a critical disappointment at the time. But it was huge to those of us that were kids in the 90s. What if Peter Pan grew up? Time to fly, time to fight, time to crow! Mason and Lolly are joined by special guest Cousin A for his first appearance on the pod. @spoilerwarspod

The “Cinephile Cuties” are ready to get stuck in the bureaucracy. That’s because they’re chatting about Terry Gilliam’s Brazil. In this episode, Patrick and Casey admit their love for this movie is dwindling. Plus, the boys put this film through their proprietary Fartsy Test. And Patrick recommends a drink pairing.
