“They always have to act like they’ve been through a civil rights march for nudity” - Chris on creepy movie guys On this week’s episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza goes to Comic Book Town as we welcome back our good bud, New York Times columnist, Jamelle Bouie to chat about a real landmark motion picture, 2000’s X-Men! How fantastic is it that the movie creates this entire world of mutants and what the state of things are and still runs under two hours? Has there been a better cast pairing than Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen? Why did they need to include D-level mutant, Toad? Is Xavier charging these students for all that school merch? What’s up with the X-Men refusing to install railings in the Cerebro chamber? And isn't it wild how great can these movies be when the creators have respect for the intelligence of the audience?

“This is the goopiest movie of all time!” - Steve On this episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza heads to space as we chat about the better-than-Andrew-remembered sci-fi sequel, Alien: Resurrection! How fantastic is Sigourney in this one? Shouldn’t Brad Dourif’s evil scientist have tried to train just one Xenomorph at a time instead of a Baker’s Dozen from the jump? Shouldn’t we have seen the initial pirate heist of these hyper-sleep people? Why couldn’t Christie have just shaken that dead alien off his boot? How great is that basketball shot? And how fabulous are all these gloopy, soupy, alien puppets?! PLUS: The guys come up with another great sci-fi horror pitch for the new film, Werewolf Astronaut!  Alien: Resurrection stars Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder, Dominique Pinon, Ron Perlman, Gary Dourdan, Michael Wincott, Kim Flowers, J.E.

“I feel bad for these Minions, man, they’re forced to help out with all these party shenanigans” - Andrew  On this week’s episode, the guys welcome back dear buds, Bob Mackey & Henry Gilbert (Talking Simpsons) to join the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza and chat about the dreadful animated sequel, Despicable Me 2! Does Pixar have a suit over the design of that youngest daughter character? Does Gru have papers for these kids? How much of the script is Gru being humiliated in public? Why is this film so obsessed with Gru getting married? How funny are all the Weekend at Bernie’s-esque gags throughout this movie? And when will these Minions finally complete their takeover of this planet?

“Get your boners ready!” - Steve, on Xavier and Wolverine looking like their cartoon counterparts in recent MCU films On this month’s patrons-only We ❤️ Movies episode, we’re chatting about a truly fantastic comic book motion picture, James Mangold’s Logan! Could Marvel go back to the comic book panel flip intro instead of using images from their films? It’s correct in saying that Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine is the best comic character performance of all time, right? Is Logan working for some kind of limousines-only Uber service?

“Asshole is the right word…” - Steve, on Paul Blart’s attitude toward hotel staff On this week’s SBE episode, we welcome back our good friend, Ben Worcester of Hooked on TJ Hooker to chat about the absolutely abysmal comedy sequel, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2! Why did they insist on making this guy so cripplingly pathetic? Why can’t we do better by Neal McDonough in Hollywood? Were people holding their breath over whether the Sandman would cameo? And what in the WORLD were they thinking with that ice cream gag? PLUS: Eric invents a new Kevin James-starring revenge series based inside the world of John Wick: John Fork!

“You don’t need to ask for directions anymore, you’re no longer a fish out of water!” - Andrew on Axel’s third time in Los Angeles  On this week’s episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza tackles an action comedy sequel that didn’t need to exist at all, and no one wanted to make in the first place, Beverly Hills Cop III! What in the hell tone were they shooting for with this movie? How is Axel not blamed for Inspector Todd’s death at the hands of Ellis De Wald? Why did they replace Taggart with Hector Elizondo playing a guy who’s just Taggart with different facial hair? How is Wonder World still open for business after all the carnage Axel and company carry out on park grounds? And how hilarious and great is this George Lucas cameo?

Beverly Hills Cop III stars Eddie Murphy, Timothy Carhart, Stephen McHattie, Judge Reinhold, Hector Elizondo, John Saxon, Theresa Randle, Alan Young, Bronson Pinchot, and George Lucas as Disappointed Man; d

“Bruce Greenwood, who’s surprisingly not crooked in this movie? That blew my hair back!” - Steve On this week’s episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza rolls into Will Smith City with a conversation all about the absolutely dreadful I, Robot! And to help dive into this dull-ass flick, the gang welcomes back to the show, friend and film critic, Angelica Jade Bastién! Why did they want to make this movie so damn serious and not let any comedy on the screen? Is Will Smith’s character listening to “Superstition” on loop every morning? Why couldn’t they pump a few more bucks into these digital effects? Was Bridget Moynihan’s direction just to play the character as if she was a secret robot? And why in the world weren’t Shia LaBeouf’s scenes cut for time? PLUS: Was the most expensive visual effect in this movie really digitally removing Will’s johnson from the shower scene?  I, Robot stars Will Smith, Bridget Moynihan, Bruce Greenwood, James Cromwell, Chi McBride, Adrian Ricard, Fiona Hogan, and Alan Tudyk

“When we put out our coffee table book of Disgusting Shit Boys, he’s the cover…” - Steve on “The Kid” On this week’s episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza continues with a hilarious convo all about one of the more ambitious comic adaptations of all time, Dick Tracy! Should Beatty really have starred as the titular Dick while also directing this thing? How incredible are all the matte paintings, Sondheim songs, and loud-AF costumes? Is there something in the drinking water in this town or what, what is with all the freaks? And how much chili does Tracy consume in this movie?

“Why are you trying to do the Hitchcock stuff when your contemporary, Brian De Palma, is doing it much better? - Eric  On this week’s WHM, we’re kicking off the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza with a chat about the Robert Zemeckis ghost house domestic thriller, What Lies Beneath! Was this one of the last major Hollywood films to have middle-aged people being this horny? Would the movie have been better if they didn’t confirm the existence of a ghost in the world of the story? Isn’t it great seeing James Remar play an academic non-scumbag? How unsettling is it to see Harrison Ford wear a Rolling Stones t-shirt? And how many Hitchcock “riffs” can you cram into one movie before someone has a suit on their hands? PLUS: We take a count of how many Harrison Ford characters go… downtown!  What Lies Beneath stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Harrison Ford, James Remar, Miranda Otto, Diana Scarwid, Ray Baker, Wendy Crewson, Amber Valletta, Micole Mercurio, and the great Joe Morton as Dr. Drayton; directed by Robert Zemeckis.

“I think he’s in both Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11!” - Chris, on Heston’s sequel policy On this week’s episode, we’re going back to, well, Earth, to chat about the fun-as-hell sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes! How silly was it to make James Franciscus look exactly like Charlton Heston, instead of just having him play Taylor? How much of a total jerk is Dr. Zaius? Are these under-dwellers wearing those masks for outsiders only or what? How great are Zira and Cornelius as characters? And how fantastic is it to watch a big, Hollywood, sci-fi sequel and the movie’s totally unconcerned with setting up the next one? PLUS: Never agree to follow Taylor in traffic, because he’s gonna blow down the road and leave you in the dust! Beneath the Planet of the Apes stars James Franciscus, Kim Hunter, Maurice Evans, Linda Harrison, James Gregory, David Watson, Don Pedro Colley, Natalie Trundy, Thomas Gomez, Jeff Corey, Victor Bruno, Paul Richards, and Charlton Heston as Colonel George Taylor; directed b

“You pay your mortgage for the year and you just show up and do nothing.” - Chris, on major celebrities voice acting On this week’s episode, we’re chatting about the barely-feature-length sequel, Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties! How in the world did Jon Arbuckle not sense two live animals in his luggage? Is Billy Connolly good in this movie? Shouldn’t it have been against the law to play this much Black Eyed Peas on a film soundtrack? How eerie is it for Jon to secretly follow/stalk Liz to England? And how do you have all these adorable barnyard animals and they’re not the U.S. Acres friends? Missed opportunity! PLUS: Chris weighs in on the all-new The Garfield Movie starring everyone’s favorite Mario, Chris Pratt! Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties stars Breckin Meyer, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Billy Connolly, Ian Abercrombie, Roger Rees, Lucy Davies, and the voices of Bill Murray, Bob Hoskins, Sharon Osbourne, Joe Pasquale, Jane Leeves, Roscoe Lee Browne, Richard E. Grant, Vinnie Jones, Rhys Ifans, Jim Piddock,

“I’ll say it: Chris Kattan? Best part of this movie!” - Steve On this week’s episode, we’re finally chatting about the “bad-ass” horror remake, House on Haunted Hill! Did any of those numerous deleted scenes maybe have more character details by any chance? Why couldn’t Jeffrey Combs have played a larger role in this movie? How does Geoffrey Rush look so much like Vincent Price in this and they refused to come out and say it— the guy’s named Price to boot, so c’mon! And did anybody else have the Mandela Effect bad memory that Kattan’s character got it in the first fifteen minutes? PLUS: Haunted houses need companionship too!  House on Haunted Hill stars Geoffrey Rush, Famke Janssen, Taye Diggs, Peter Gallagher, Chris Kattan, Ali Larter, Bridgette Wilson-Sampras, Max Perlich, Lisa Loeb, James Marsters, Peter Graves, and Jeffrey Combs as Dr. Vannacutt; directed by William Malone.
