    Episode 54 Cocaine Bear (2023)

    Episode 54 Cocaine Bear (2023)

    Director/Producer Elizabeth Banks takes us back to a simpler time in American history when there were no cell phones, cocaine was delivered by plane and bears ruled with an iron fist. Based on a true story, Cocaine Bear (2023)  posits that if there is anything worse than  encountering a bear in the wild, it's encountering a cocaine bear in the wild. An impressive cast, a great concept, but do we get the gore and over-the-top  comedy we are hoping for? Co-hosts Robert Lendrum and Jamie Roberts go nose deep into a creature feature that tries to find the balance between laughs and lacerations. Plus, Jamie tells a few bear stories of his own.

    Laughing in the Face of Terror: Comedy in Horror Movies Like Doom Asylum

    Get your “Netflix and Chill” back https://bit.ly/EddieBW20 and use BINGE20 for 20% off!

    We'll review, discover, and recommend the best in horror, and we can't wait to share our thoughts on films like the new Five Nights at Freddy movie and Beanie Bubble, starring Zach Galifianakis and Elizabeth Banks.

    Join us for a hilarious discussion on Doom Asylum, a perfect blend of horror and comedy. We dive into the movie's production, trivia, and our favorite moments, including the Netflix and chill commercial and the bikini-clad swim scene with no water in sight. Plus, we ponder why guys don't need $100 to get naked in movies.

    Lastly, we explore the sacrifices actors make for their art and the challenges they face in and out of the horror movie industry. From Venmo requests to mud scenes, we discuss the life of a working actor and their commitment to their roles. We also draw comparisons between horror movies and country songs, and the inevitable fate of their characters. To cap it all off, we talk about the classic "water of the Rocky Mountains" line from a Rocky Mountain beer. Tune in for a fun and sometimes strange dive into the world of acting and horror movies!

    The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - Bigger in Scope

    The Hunger Games: Catching Fire - Bigger in Scope

    PARTY PLEASER: 

    Melanie and Melvin continue their summarization of The Hunger Games franchise following their previous party pleaser on The Hunger Games! This time, Katniss and the Hunger-Games-Gang is pulled into another Hunger Games! Who could have expected that? Melanie and Melvin are ready to pick-apart the political intrigue of Panam and question whether Katniss and Peta will ever stand a chance against President Snow! 

    Topics: 

    • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 23-minutes discussing different ways to engage movies (phone, tv, theater) and hilarious-or-terrible movie theater experiences. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 
    • The Hunger Games: Catching Fire succeeds in being a sequel that increases the scope of the world, characters, and everything in between. 
    • Despite some of the improvements, parts of Catching Fire essentially re-do the material of The Hunger Games which got a little tiresome for Melvin who wanted to see some new experiences in the Hunger Games universe. 
    • During the transition between outside life and the beginning of the Hunger Games the aspect ratio becomes much fuller. This likely helped engross audience members into the passive disorientation of going from clinical science-fiction décor to the outside survivalist environment.
    • It's a Young-Adult trope to have the protagonist vie between two romantic partners, but in the world of the Hunger Games it always feels like it's a matter of whether or not Katniss will end up with Peta, not whether Katniss will end up with Peta or Gale.

    163 - Cocaine Bear (2023) Review

    163 - Cocaine Bear (2023) Review

    After cocaine is dropped out of an airplane into a Georgia forest, criminals swarm the forest to retrieve it and cops track the criminals trying to intercept them. Little do they know there's a black bear who ingested the cocaine and is going on a murderous rampage, while a mother is searching for her missing daughter amidst the chaos.

    Elizabeth Banks directs Cocaine Bear, which is a wild ride and whether the viewer thinks it's good or not, there's something extremely entertaining about watching a bear doused in cocaine, mutilating anyone who comes in its path. Watch the movie and catch our review.

    From the mind that has brought you Guardians of the Galaxy volume 1,2 and 3, and the hit HBO show Peacemaker! We slide into James Gunn's horror flick "Slither", having never seen this or knowing what to expect, I was pleased to see James Gunn has always had his own style of story telling. So join me as I break this sucker down and bring you the simple things that makes this movie what it is.

    Episode 24: Bad Telephone
    During this episode of A Gay & His Enby, Eamon & Merlin talk Real Housewives of New Jersey as they finish their Ireland vacation, the newest episode of Survivor 44 that sees our first live tribal of the season, & Vanderpump Rules as a day at Hermosa Beach turns chaotic & Scandoval begins to rise to the surface. PLUS: quick spoiler free reviews of Cocaine Bear and Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Once & Always. We are Eamon and Merlin, a queer married couple from Texas living in Pittsburgh, PA. We love reality television, wrestling, drag queens, and pretty much anything that can be called even kinda gay. A Gay & His Enby is a podcast where we talk about everything we love in terms of media and pop culture; everything thats gay and gay adjacent; basically all the conversations we have in our living room we are now putting in front of a microphone and on the internet for you. Every week, we have the pleasure and privilege of recording from Sorgatron Media Studios in Pittsburgh. Our theme song is Pulsar by Shane Ivers which you can find at https://www.silvermansound.com All of our social media can be found at our linktree: https://linktr.ee/agayandhisenby In recent years, states have pushed forward a record number of bills that attack LGBTQ rights, especially transgender youth. The current obession with Drag Queens is no exception. This is a thinly veiled attempt to outlaw gender expressions that do not fall within the cisheteronormative guidelines.

    Brightburn (2019)

    Episode two finds the guys discussing the 2019 horror film Brightburn, which presents a dark take on the Superman origin story. They delve into the film's themes of nature versus nurture, puzzling choices by the characters, and the apparent complete and total lack of forensics in the Brightburn universe. Looks like we've got a cold-blooded killer on our hands, and he's not even old enough to drive...YEAAAAAAH!

    PATREON PARTY PLEASER: 

    This movie was selected by our Patreon Supporters over at the Cinematic Doctrine Patreon. Support as little as $3 a month and have your voice heard!  

    Melanie and Melvin go through the entirety of The Hunger Games, starting from its opening text all the way to its closing credits! Relive the experience of your first Hunger Games and listen to our various commentary on the films interesting metaphors and frustrating editing!

    Topics: 

    • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 23-minutes discussing the YA genre of film, attempting to define it, describing different franchises, and what we like and don't like about it (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 
    • Melvin's never seen a Hunger Game. Melanie learns him a lesson. 
    • Melvin on the film's editing, "It was never, uhh, not a problem."
    • The Hunger Games has a good, consistent sense of tone.
    • Despite what some may think, The Hunger Games is technically a mid-to-low budget film costing an estimated 78-million to produce. This may account for the dated CGI work which, even for the early 2010s, does not hold up. 
    • The way the Hunger Games are used to cultivate a performative social experience was fairly engaging. Often times it is unclear whether a conversation or event takes place out of a genuine heart or a performative requirement for survival.
    • Before the actual Hunger Games begin, Melvin and Melanie discuss the first half of The Hunger Games, what they enjoy about the setup, and why it helps prepare the audience for the Games themselves.
    • Once the games begin, the two agree: there may have been significant benefits to the film being Rated R.
    • For Melvin, some emotional sequences weren't effective due to the poor editing.
    • The combination of hope and hopelessness throughout The Hunger Games is really evocative and engaging, and this is present even to the end of the game.

    Cocaine Bear

    Special guest Mike Overhulse from the Mad Men Men podcast joins the show while Jon is on vacation and thank goodness. Jon can't handle Cocaine Bear. He's not cool enough to hang at that Cocaine Bear party. Elizabeth Banks, director of Cocaine Bear, went out of her way to leave Jon off the invite list for Cocaine Bear. Fortunately, Will and Mike are here to talk about Cocaine Bear.
