(Time Travel in Film)

Who wouldn’t love to go back in time?! Feels like every movie you see these days is a time travel movie with so much 80s and 90s Nostalgia trips going on, but no, we’re talking actual time travel; Back to the futures and so on.

Some of the great ones, some of the lame ones. What makes these movies so much fun to watch and why do we love the idea of changing the past so much? If we could go back to the past, where would we go?

(Is the Film Market greedy by nature?)

With ScarJo being in the news complaining about ONLY getting 25 million for the release of Black Widow due to the film being co-released on streaming… We thought it would be good to talk about film from concept to finished product and how greed has corroded the creative side.

We also discuss nudity in films. Wages in film. Streaming rights and services. And more! So Tune in, subscribe, like, share and all that jazz but most of all: Enjoy!

(Are Film ratings helping or hindering?)

As big fans of the R rated blockbusters of the 80s and 90s. The Die Hards, the Terminators, the Unforgivens, etc. We feel its pretty sad that for the most part chasing the almighty profit margin is making more and more movies PG-13 – and we argue that STREAMING SERVICES are the only saving grace to “adult entertainment”

Do ratings really help or are we all just wet blankets now? Are we protecting kids or mollycoddling them? Is censorship helping or hindering? Are movies allowed to exist just as a standalone movie anymore or do they need to be viewed against the cultural landscape of the time they are released?

Let’s explore together and see where we wind up.

(What happens when we no longer buy films?)

As streaming services dominate the marketplace, what happens to us as filmmakers and film fans as we no longer “own” anything anymore. What does the future have in store for us as cinemas continue to decay and we are given more and more curated entertainment at a fractional cost.

What does the future of this look like? How do we feel about it? What can be done about it – and what of PIRACY and the CINEMA? We look bleakly ahead and try to shine light on the hopes we have. Pros and cons on all sides on this one.

(The films of Zack Snyder)

Hot off the presses, like most of you we sat down this weekend to watch the new ARMY OF THE DEAD, #ZackSnyder’s return to “#Zombie” flicks. Use that term loosely…

From #Dawnofthedead to #ArmyoftheDead we discuss the films of Zack Snyder. Our thoughts about the pros and cons of the DC films he has masterminded and a lengthy discussion about the newest flick Army of the dead and its theoretical many sequels Netflix is gearing to shove down our throats.

His best and worst moments as a filmmaker, the traits that make a Zack Snyder film and if any franchise we’d like to see him turn his attention to, what would it be? Do we really need a Snydercut of everything? Does he deserve a Snyder-verse?

Disclaimer: We ain’t massive fans of the guy, so there will be criticism. While there is many positives we lavish on the guy as film fans, don’t expect a love fest.

(Short films)

As Filmmakers we all have to cut our teeth with short films. But what we expect from a short film as an audience or Filmmaker has changed overtime with the rise of YouTube and TikTok and so on.

So we discuss our thoughts about the Festival circuit versus free online viewing, story versus visuals. Impact versus resonance. Why Animation is perfect for short films and what we want to see from them as frustrated filmmakers who have made many short films!

Also we spawn off and get a little dark. How colleagues feel like competitors when you are indie. What even is Indie anymore? Does anyone still care about creativity or is it all just money?

So yeah, dark. But don’t we always? Just remember. Everything goes down easier with Ice Cream!

(Nostalgia as a gimmick in Films)

Filmmakers have often used setting a movie in the past instead of the present day to help sell it to audiences by instilling that element of Nostalgia. Stand by me. Stranger Things. Etc.

We discuss how this has been used well and poorly and what the future holds for Nostalgia in film – how it can be used to enhance a story – or distract from how poor it is. Are remakes cashing in on the nostalgia of the original films?

We also get into history itself, biblical talk and fantasize, when would you have liked to have been if you could go back in time.
