    Sexism in Survival Situation (Movies)

    Sexism in Survival Situation (Movies)

    Disaster and survival movies don't have the best track record when it comes to their treatment of women. From who deserves to die, consumption of female bodies, to ice queens who, gasp, don't want kids, what are these movies saying about who deserves redemption and who deserves to die? We look into two examples - Jurassic World and Deep Blue Sea.

    Don't Look Up & The Wonder Years

    Don't Look Up & The Wonder Years

    If there's one thing Hollywood loves doing it's killing us all and given the current state of our world I think we should let them. The first disaster movie, 1936's SAN FRANCISCO, was about the earthquake which ripped that city apart back in 1908 and that sort of interesting trivia is exactly the kind of thing you won't get any more of as we discuss our Top 5 Disaster movies. What you will get is incredible special effects, Gerard Butler, ham-fisted environmental messages, Roland Emmerich, dubious science, mile high tsunamis repeatedly crashing into the New York skyline and a Michael Bay movie which divides us all.
     
    Adam McKay's movies have a habit of making an impact on us and the recently released DON'T LOOK UP with its five time Oscar winning cast and cinematography by Linus Sandgren (LA LA LAND, NO TIME TO DIE) was one we had to watch. The plot sees mulleted astrophysicist Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence) discover a comet on a direct collision course with earth, which is where we live. You and I. Attempting to alert the world to the imminent and very real danger, Dibiasky and her professor, Dr Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) face challenges greater than merely a President reluctant to do anything about the problem before the mid-terms. This one seems to have polarized critics, let's see what it does to the dads.
     
    "What would you do if I sang out of tune?" yes just the opening bars of The Beatle's classic With A Little Help From My friends as belted out by gravel-throated English rocker Joe Crocker should be enough to conjure up memories of THE WONDER YEARS. We're talking about the new Disney+ reboot which centres around the Williams family in Alabama in 1968, as we experience pivotal moments in the American black civil rights movement through the eyes of 12 year old Dean (Elisha "EJ" Williams) who fell madly in love with a girl he met on the first day of school and desperately wants to avoid being embarrassed during baseball.

    70s Movie Trailers: Airport! Airport 1975!! Airplane!!! - Trailer Reaction

    70s Movie Trailers: Airport! Airport 1975!! Airplane!!! - Trailer Reaction

    70s Movie Trailers: Airport! Airport 1975!! Airplane!!! - Trailer Reaction. Airport ushered in a wave of 70s disaster movies and was a huge hit so they followed with three sequels, including AIRPORT 1975. Ripe for satire, AIRPLANE came along in 1980 and everyone laughed at the silliness of it. We take a look at all three trailers. Fly with us, won't you?

    Episode 86: Oh, the humanity!

    Episode 86: Oh, the humanity!

    As pretty much everyone has stated, 2020 has been a dumpster fire of epic proportions. Danny, Blake, and Nathaniel decided that now is a great time to talk disaster movies. But is that a great a idea when one of them does not even like the genre?

    The show starts with a talk about the WandaVision trailer. Is this the show that will get Nathaniel and Danny back on the Disney+ hype train they once shamelessly rode? Plus, who is launching Tom Cruise into space and why are they not going to be leaving him there?

    On this week's What You Need to Know, the three talk about cinematics in games. From the latest cutscenes to VCR board games they guys talk about their favorite memories. Just this one time.

    The main segment is about disaster movies. Obviously, Airplane! is the greatest disaster movie ever, but there is so much more to talk about. The ones that did the best job, the stupidity of evil storm chasers, and Nathaniel's theory on 9/11 movies are all here. All buildings matter.

    Adventures in Movies! is hosted by Nathaniel Muir, Blake, and Danny. You can find Nathaniel on Instagram at nathaninpoortaste. Danny can be found on Twitter @default_player and on Instagram at default_player.

    Episode Twenty-Five: Natural Disasters and the Kaiju that cause them

    Episode Twenty-Five: Natural Disasters and the Kaiju that cause them

    Natural disasters are well-known for not being especially cinematic, so Hollywood has had to ignore scientific fact in order to create a spectacle. But what if in the world of disaster movies, from Dante's Peak to 2012 and beyond, kaiju were responsible for each and every eruption, tremor and landslide? Is Rodan secretly huffing pyroclastic flow for recreational purposes? Did Godzilla cause the Poseidon Adventure just by swimming under the boat? Is Ghidorah creating tornadoes full of sharks to get an exciting snack? 

    The answer is, as usual, no. But we're going to speculate on it anyway!

    News & Reviews: Geostorm & The Death Of Stalin

    News & Reviews: Geostorm & The Death Of Stalin
    Finally, it is here! The long awaited 'Geostorm' has arrived and smacked audiences in the face with a tornado of explosions. Andy has been to see it, but is it any good? Alex has seen the new Armando Iannucci film 'The Death Of Stalin', a period satire featuring a tremendous ensemble cast. Is it a roaring success or a floundering mess?

    Episode 38: Drive-In Double Features

    Episode 38: Drive-In Double Features
    Despite having its peak in the 50's and 60's, the drive-in movie theatre will be forever ingrained into history. Where else can you spend a summer night watching two movies, stuffing your face full of popcorn and hot dogs, hanging out with buddies, and (hopefully) making out in the backseat of your car?

    In the spirit of this bygone cinema-going experience we've come up with lists of movies we'd love to see paired up and on a giant outdoor screen while the speaker hooked up to our car window gives off the crackly sounds of tinny gunfire and explosions.

    First off we catch you up with what we've been watching as Chris takes a big journey back to the 80's with the likes of the javelin killing slasher flick Fatal Games and Flashdance while Josh continues his path towards depravity with I Spit on Your Grave 2 as well as discovering one of his favourite vampire movies of all-time. Plus much more!

    Thanks for listening! Be sure to head to iTunes to subscribe and drop us a five star rating/review - every little bit helps!
