Okay, gang, at long last, there's a major family-friendly title coming out in theaters this weekend as we're finally seeing the release of Universal's Kung Fu Panda 4! The film is forecasting an opening somewhere between $44 and $54 million, which makes sense considering it's been an Arrakis-esque desert out there for family programming at the movies for quite some time now.
So, the big question on my mind today is, will
“We open on this Eyes Wide Shut party…” - Steve
On this month’s patrons-only and patron-selected We ❤️ Movies episode, we’re finally sitting down to talk about one of the absolute best to ever hit the screen, The Fugitive! How incredible is Harrison Ford’s performance in this? Has Chicago ever looked cooler in a movie that’s not The Blues Brothers 2024-03-08 11:00:07 +0000 UTC View Post
“We’re playing pool with Captain Heart Attack here…” - Eric on this movie’s police captain
On this week’s episode, we’re kicking off the 2024 Listener Request Month with a dirty-ass 1970’s-feeling cop movie that came out in 1989, Night Game! Why is Roy Scheider’s character making such a big deal out of this gifted television set? Can that future mother-in-law just take it down a notch or two? Why is that police chief ...

On this month's journey into the Nexus, we're chatting about two really solid episodes of Trek!
First up on TOS, as we wind down the series we're chatting about the no-way-it-didn't-influence-George-Lucas episode, "The Cloud Minders." Debuting back on February 28, 1969, this episode has Spock getting super-psyched to visit a cloud city, a guy throwing himself off a cloud city balcony, Kirk getting salty a...

We're once again time traveling back to sunny, sexy, 1990's Los Angeles on MELR0210!
First up on Beverly Hills, 90210, it's the obnoxious Brenda-centric episode, "The Back Story"! Originally airing back on September 16, 1992, this episode has Steve Sanders possibly getting tricked into a three-way for accepting the school's skeleton key, Brandon being a complete asshole to poor, nice Nikki, and B...

On this month's Animation Damnation, we just may have reached the nadir of filmed animation as we try to discuss the absolutely abysmal television special, Cathy's Valentine!
Originally airing back on February 10, 1989, this is, without question, one of the worst things we've ever watched for this show in AD's entire 10-year run! Is Kathy narcoleptic or is there a gas leak in her house? Why does Irving think re-w...

On this edition of Once In A Lifetime, we're chatting about the fun, outrageous domestic thriller, The Walls Are Watching (a.k.a. Foreclosure)!
