What we’re Enjoying

Shua found a cool YouTube channel that spotlights innovative 3-D printing featuring some really cool inventions by a guy named Ivan Miranda. A guy with a fun personality and some really brilliant solutions to crazy ideas. Jay has been rewatching the Daredevil series and is remembering why he loved season 1 so much. 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay revisited the sequel to the wildly popular Matrix original, Matrix Reloaded (2003). Despite the now dated innovative special effects, it was a really beautiful movie to watch that expanded the Matrix universe in a very unique way.  Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com, now featuring Daredevil Season 1. Plus, you can tune in to  SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.  

Enjoy Movies! 

In 1984, Michael Douglas was getting into producing and had purchased a script from a waitress he met at Alice’s Restaurant (no, I’m serious!). He tried to get some very popular, handsome, macho actors to play the lead, opposite the up and coming Kathleen Turner. But ultimately he decided he’d just play the hero himself. With Robert Zemeckis at the directing helm, they set out to make a romantic adventure in the jungle. (But not really Columbia, because it was actually too dangerous) It became  a gigantic hit that established Douglas as a strong leading man, put Turner on the road to a string of hits, and gave Zemeckis the ability to create Back to the Future. 

Would you give the kidnappers the map or would you go after the jewel? Would you try to romance Joan Wilder?

Hollywood is continuing with its mission of live-action remakes, and adding another to the list of nostalgic reboots is Pinocchio, a classic childhood favourite by Disney about a marionette’s journey to becoming a real boy. Despite being supported by a star-studded cast, the movie has not been received well, with many saying it is the worst movie of all time, but is it that bad? In this episode, we put the debate to rest and explain why the critics are right about Pinocchio as we unpack the movie from beginning to end, from the boring dialogue and childish jokes to the underwhelming cinematography. We discuss why the live-action version does not work, why it feels like no effort was put into making the movie, and why Michael had to use subtitles to understand Tom Hank’s voice acting. We unpack the characters’ cringy Italian accents, the terrible CGI moments of the movie, how it relied on the nostalgia of other franchises, why the remake does not live up to expectations, whether the animation quality saves it, and more. Tune in to find out why this movie is a perfect cure for insomnia with Martin and Michael! 

In this episode- I think recorded back in the summer of 2021- Kieran and Jev and I discuss the Robert Zemeckis romance-adventure film, 'Romancing the Stone'.

Its 2023! There's nothing that says New Years Day like a film based on looking into the past. Currently, this movie has moved up to #30 on the IMDB Top 250 since we froze the list back in 2016, which speaks to how well this movie holds up over time. Back to the Future (1985), directed by Robert Zemeckis.
