Welcome to 00Film Strip. Jay, along with a guest host, reviews a single entry from each era of the James Bond film franchise. We will talk about the key elements of each Bond movie, what makes this iteration of Bond special, and dissect how well this still plays today.

We start with the film many consider the movie that launched the franchise into the stratosphere - 1964's Goldfinger featuring Sean Connery as James Bond.

Jay is joined by Phil Walsh from Phil at the Movies and Carmelita Valdez-McKoy to talk about favorite rewatches, the resurgence of horror movies, and what makes the movie viewing experience truly magical.

Jay, Lindsey, Ron, and Brian talk about things they think are missing from modern mainstream action movies, what stars below the age of 40 they think could carry an action movie, and discuss 2025 releases they are excited about, and more!

Reviled when it was released, Michael Powell’s bawdy thriller has enjoyed a reappraisal in recent years. Recognized for the killer’s POV camera work, putting the audience in the same view of the killer, and the deeply disturbing psychological underpinnings, modern audiences are finally seeing the root of slashers may not completely reside with 1960’s Psycho, but also in this film.

The fine line between homage and fan fiction is filled with bioengineered goo. Jay and Nick return to review Alien:Romulus (2024). #AlienRomulus #podcast #alien

The podcast with a face that definitely has character. Lindsey, Ron, and Jay rock n roll with Cry-Baby (1990). 

Desperate to shed his teen-heartthrob image, Johnny Depp went looking for a different project and he found one in John Waters’ send up of 1950s rebellious kid culture. On the heels of his major success Hairspray, Waters’ next film brought about a bidding war from studios. However, when it released, the audience response was mixed at best. However, this movie became a cult classic. What gives it such status? Find out in our latest episode! 

Christmas in July never felt more Canadian. Jay, Lindsey, and Ron unwrap Black Christmas (2006).

We don’t need to wait for the translation to talk about this movie! Jay and Nate review Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (1991).

Aiming to send the original crew out with a high note, Paramount turned to people who had delivered some of the biggest and best so far. With a dense plot, a limited budget, and a focused crew, the final adventure of the Enterprise heroes had a lot riding on the premise. How well does it deliver? Find out in our latest review!

Row, row, row your starship. Jay and Nate review Star Trek V: The Final Frontier. 

Inspired by a late-night viewing of televangelists and wanting to boldly go in a different direction, William Shatner’s concept for the fifth Star Trek movie was ambitious - too ambitious for the studio and faced budget cuts, outsourced effects, and a general sense of apathy from those involved. However, the cast all talk about what a good time they had making this entry. So is it worthy of re-evaluation after missing audiences in release? Or is this a frontier best left unexplored. Find out in our latest episode of the Star Trek Retrospective Series. 

Catch us now and later! Jay and Lindsey review Blue Thunder (1983). 

1980s cinema became a fertile ground for the Cold War techno-thilller and Director John Badham had two in 1983 with WarGames and Blue Thunder. Star Roy Scheider and Badham both felt strongly that the dangers of the constant surveillance state as well as military-grade armament of the police were not to be taken lightly. Does this movie make it’s point or flutter into the dust? Find out as Jay and Lindsey review Blue Thunder (1983). 

The legacy sequel we didn't know we needed. Jay and guests Matt from Film Feast, Andy from Imperial Scum, and Carmelita Valdez McCoy track through the jungles of Rambo (2008).

It was 20 years since Rambo had any presence on the big screen. Stallone had a career resurgence with Rocky Balboa. He returned to his other franchise in attempt to Mary the psychological aspects of First Blood with the fun action tropes of parts 2 and 3. How well did it work? Listen as Jay welcome guests Matt Bledsoe, Andy Gorham, and Carmelita Valdez-McKoy for this review.

We will try to make the best guess we can. Jay and Nate review Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986). Part of the ongoing Star Trek Retrospective Series. 

After the successes of parts 2 and 3, another entry was inevitable. But the creators - and many of the cast members - felt like they needed to lean more into comedy after the stark action and drama of the series so far. Did the gamble to combine chuckles with a time-travel, fish-out-of-water story work? Find out on the latest installment in our Star Trek retrospective series. 

A horror sequel via Coast to Coast AM sensibilities. Jay and Nick continue their journey through this series with Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1995).

Matthew McConaughey and Renee Zellweger were not yet household names when this fourth entry was filmed. By the time it found release, the studio was trying to cash in on their stardom by hiding what has to be one of the boldest turns in an horror series. Did the conspiracy-theory chills work? Or is this a mere cash-grab desperately trying to find a new audience? Tune in as Jay and Nick continue their journey through the TCM series.

On this episode of Change My Movie Mind, Anthony and Jay welcome Phil from Phil At the Movies to preside over our debate topic: This Movie Can Never Be Remade. Anthony and Jay will each present a movie they will argue can never be remade. We will hear a rebuttal from the opposite side,  have an open Q&A section, and then present final arguments. After each round, Phil decides who needs to Change My Movie Mind.

We’ve been calling our shot for 14 years. Step up to the plate as Lindsey, Ron, and Brian review Major League (1989). 

In 1989, Director David S. Ward blended the tried and true sports drama with a good dose of comedy to sell and underdog story about a group of lovable losers chasing baseball glory in the warm fires of the Cuyahoga River. Can Tom Berenger pull off being a sex symbol? Can Charlie Sheen be funny? Can anyone believe the MLB Cleveland team could ever be good? Find out as we celebrate 14 years of Film Strip with this review!

Bust your brackets as Nick Nolte busts blood vessels. Jay and Ron review Blue Chips (1994).

The MPAA did more cutting than the killers in this movie. Jay and Nick kick of March Madness with Leatherface: Texas Chainsaw Massacre III (1990).

For a well-read guy, Khan really doesn't understand how Moby Dick ends for Ahab. Jay and Nate continue the series with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982).
