We are joined by Ryan Wall for our discussion of Mike Newell's controversial 4th chapter of the Harry Potter series.
While it is a favorite to some, its not a movie any of us particularly enjoy.

With the Terminator series behind us, we head back to a galaxy far, far away to catch up on the second season of The Mandalorian.
In this episode we talk about the first four Chapters of Season 2.
Another excellent season of Star Wars television that might even improve on the first one.
This week we wrap up our exploration of the Terminator series with Tim Miller's Dark Fate. While its the best film in the series since Judgement Day, does that mean its actually a great addition, or is it damning with faint praise?
Gabe and James try and make sense of Alan Taylor's to reboot the series. Genesys is a messy and bland film that fails to capture what's great about the series at nearly every point.
We head into the future war to talk about McG's addition to the series. While Salvation brings impressive visuals and excellent action, it suffers in the substance department.
Gabe and James discuss about the third Terminator film. A definite step down for the series, despite a few stand-out elements.
Gabe and James take a quick break from the Terminator series to talk about the films of 2020. A rather disappointing year for movies. But there are still some wonderful gems that are well worth celebrating.
Gabe and James talk about one of the greatest action films of all time. Quite possibly James Cameron's magnum opus, Judgement Day is every bit as entertaining and mind-blowing today as the day it was released.
We start a new franchise with James Cameron's ground-breaking Sci-Fi action thriller, The Terminator. While its sequel tends to dominate the conversation, this tight, brutal low-budget actioner still delivers on every level today.
We wrap up our journey through the Bourne series with the highly anticipated and equally disappointing return of Matt Damon and Paul Greengrass to the franchise.
Gabe and James record in person to discuss the ill-fated attempt to spin off the Bourne series with Jeremy Renner.
A film that is not without its qualities, The Bourne Legacy nonetheless fails to capture what made previous entries so unique and exciting.
Gabe and James get together in person to talk about one of the greatest horror films of all time. And as usual for our show, the October horror reviews are going up in November!
This week we talk about the original finale for the Bourne Trilogy. The Bourne Ultimatum is an exhilarating action film that takes everything we love about the series and brings it to the next level.
In this episode we are again joined by our friend Sam Dodson to talk about Paul Greengrass' introduction to mainstream audiences with the 2nd chapter of the Bourne saga. The Bourne Supremacy is a focused and relentless thriller that has kept its edge over the years, despite constant bad imitations of its signature style.
This week we begin exploring one of the most influential action franchise of the 2000s. Doug Liman's The Bourne Identity is a fantastic thriller that added a whole new level of realism and intensity to the genre.
With James back, we finally finish playing catch up with franchise installments released while we were in the MCU with the already forgotten Men in Black: International.
A film who's troubled production is far more interesting than anything that happens in it. Which is a tragedy considering its two fantastic lead actors.
This week we wrap up The Hire series with Neill Blomkamp's installment, The Escape. Its not the best of them, but its a lot of fun, featuring a very scary Jon Bernthal.
You can watch The Escape on YouTube... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcbfH_bBJzo
Here we talk about Tony Scott's absolutely wild installment featuring James Brown and a wonderful Gary Oldman as The Devil. It's nuts.
You can watch Beat The Devil on YouTube...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2Bv5hzuwvU
This week James makes his triumphant return to the show! We discuss Joe Carnahan's excellent installment, Ticker. And James gives us his thoughts on all the previous shorts.

In this minisode Gabe continues his solo drive through BMW's The Hire series with Ang Lee's chapter, Chosen.
A graceful, beautifully crafted short, this one might just be the best in the whole series.
With James on a brief hiatus, Gabe goes solo to talk about The Hire series of shorts that BMW produced in the early 2000s.
In this minisode he talks about the first of bunch, Ambush

This week we finally catch up with Star Wars with the final 10 episodes of Resistance Season 2.
After a somewhat rocky first half of the season, the show finds its stride and delivers many of its best episodes yet in its final run.
This week we head back to The Colossus to talk about the 2nd season of Star Wars Resistance. A show that didn't make much of an impact, but is still a very enjoyable addition to a Galaxy Far, Far Away.
This week we take a quick Detour between Star Wars TV shows to talk about Rian Johnson's fabulous 2019 mystery caper, Knives Out.
A perfect film brimming with creativity, wit and wonderful characters. Johnson has once again proven himself to be one of the most exciting filmmakers working today.
This week we explore the epic and long-awaited ending to one of the greatest pieces of Star Wars storytelling ever made. Like the show that came before, not all of the episodes were amazing. But we still got several of the best episodes this show has ever had, and finally a deeply satisfying conclusion to the beloved show.
We're doing something very different from usual this week. Here Gabe and James will each be taking a shot at "fixing" The Rise of Skywalker. We've spent the last couple weeks coming up with story treatments that we hope fix a lot of the issues in the film, as well as make it fit better alongside the previous two films in the Sequel Trilogy.
They're probably both terrible, but it was a lot of fun!
This week we finally dive into the monumental conclusion to the Sequel Trilogy and the Skywalker Saga. A massive, ambitious and baffling film that's equal parts disappointing and thrilling.
In one of our longest episodes on a single film, we explore this film from every angle. Hashing out what didn't work, but also reveling in all the thing it did get right as well.
Its complicated.
This week we talk about the second half of The Mandalorian's first season. Four episodes that are just as good, if not better than the previous ones.
This week we go back to a Galaxy Far, Far Away with the first half of our two-parter on season 1 of The Mandalorian.
The first live-action TV show in the Star Wars universe, Jon Favreau's love letter to the Western genre was somehow able to unite the entire fandom in its praise.
This week we are introducing a new series with Franchise Detours. Wherein in between series we will talk about any film we please. Starting this week with Taika Waititi's beautiful 2019 film, Jojo Rabbit.
This week we wrap up the Toy Story franchise once again with the latest installment, Toy Story 4.
A sequel deemed by many to be unnecessary, it still manages to bring the emotional heft and wit we all expect from the series.
Toy Story of Terror was fun, but this right here is the real deal. This TV Special is a total blast of wacky Toy Story fun from beginning to end.
With the MCU finally behind us, we're taking a few weeks to catch up on some series that have put out chapters over the last 6 months. Starting with the Toy Story series and the TV specials Pixar put out shortly after Toy Story 3.
In this minisode we discuss Toy Story of Terror, Pixar's send-up of the horror genre starring everyone's favorite toys!
This week we complete our epic journey through the films of the MCU with Spider-Man: Far From Home.
With this movie we have yet another fun and charming chapter for the character. It may not fully reach its potential, but its a good time nonetheless.
This week we dive into the epic culmination of the first 10 years of the MCU with Avengers: Endgame!
This week we explore the MCU's first female-led movie with Captain Marvel. A film that inspired massive controversies before its release, that were only matched by its runaway financial success.
Was it worthy of either? Not really.
This week we take yet another short break from the MCU to talk about the films of 2019.
Back to the MCU this week, we move from the grim depression of Infinity War, back to the low-key, delightful quirkiness of the Ant-Man series!
This week we take a quick break from the MCU to dive into the first season of Disney's latest animated Star Wars show, Resistance!
We saw a Star War!
In this minisode James and Gabe come to terms with the final installment of The Skywalker Saga? Is it a worthy ending to The Sequel Trilogy? Or is it a tired rerun that undermines the previous films? A bit of both?
There's so much to discuss.
This week we are joined by our pal Sam Dodson for another mega-length episode exploring the Russo Bros. epic tragedy.
A bold, thrilling, and ultimately heartbreaking chapter of the MCU, that went places we could never have expected or imagined.
This week we travel to Wakanda to discuss Ryan Coogler's Black Panther. And to help us with that we are joined by Emmanuel Noisette from E-Man's Movie Reviews!
We have a long, in-depth discussion on what is one of the MCU's most ambitious films.

This week we are joined by Quentin Irey from Common Candor to talk about Thor: Ragnarok. A film that took the flagging Thor series in a wild, fun new direction.
While the film's entertainment value is beyond doubt, does this new direction undermine the character's dramatic core?

This week we are joined by Drew Dodgen of the Celcast to talk about Spider-Man's first solo film in the MCU. A delightful, John Hughes inspired romp, Homecoming gives us yet another excellent cinematic take on the classic character.
This week we are joined by Josh Mesker to explore about this divisive sequel to the 2014 smash hit. While Vol. 2 boast some of the most emotionally effective bits in the MCU, does the rest of it quite live up to its predecessor?
After taking a long break from the MCU during the month of October, we are back with Scott Derrickson's Doctor Strange!
A thoughtful and emotional character piece that introduces us into the fantastical world of The Master of the Mystic Arts.
This week we wrap up the tour latest series with Wes Craven's final film, Scream 4.
A return to form for the franchise after the disappointing Scream 3. While it might not quite reach the heights of the first film, this one still has plenty of the charm, scares and clever commentary that made us love the series in the first place.
This week we talk about the first sequel to Wes Craven's classic spin on the slasher genre. Scream 2 is a worthy sequel that has the same fun, scariness and great characters that made the first one so great.
For the month of October we will be taking a break from the MCU to explore Wes Craven's Scream series!
Scream burst onto the scene in 1996 and gave new life to the then-stagnated horror genre. Does it still provide the same level of fresh commentary on the genre and genuine scares as it did at the time? We certainly think so!
This week we have an epic-lengthed discussion on the 3rd Captain America film.
A layered film, packed to the brim character development and themes alongside some of the best action in the MCU.
An all around fantastic chapter.
This week we are joined by our friend Byron Lafayette to discuss Peyton Reed's delightful heist comedy, Antman.
After the enormity of Age of Ultron, Antman's low stakes and breezy tone was a breath of fresh air for the MCU. Despite a very difficult production, Marvel managed to squeeze out yet another win.

This week we dive deep into Joss Whedon's ambitious and flawed magnum opus. A film that reveals new layers and depth with every rewatch despite its loudly discussed imperfections.
It may not have been the film everyone wanted as a follow-up to the first Avengers film, but what we got is still a fascinating piece of filmmaking and storytelling with much to explore and discuss.
This week we rave about James Gunn's surprise smash-hit, Guardians of the Galaxy. Taking unknown characters and applying his unique style and charm, Gunn created one of the MCU's most popular and entertaining properties.
This week we explore the Russo Bros. homage to the classic conspiracy thrillers of the 70s with the absolutely fantastic Captain America: The Winter Soldier. This installment abandons the nostalgia of the First Avenger and gives us a tense, gritty tale that challenges everything Cap believes.
This week we take a look at the series of delightful One-Shot shorts that Marvel used to put out with every film.
We also discuss the tsunami of MCU news that came out of this year's San Diego Comic Con.
This week we dive into the much-maligned 2nd chapter in the Thor series. Is there some hidden quality, or does this film deserve its mediocre reputation?
This week we tackle Shane Blacks controversial entry into the MCU.
A 90s conspiracy thriller to the core, Iron Man 3 pulses with Black's fun, darkly comic energy and deep understanding of the title character.
This week we complete Phase 1 of the MCU with Joss Whedon's game-changing smash hit, The Avengers.
A perfect blockbuster that combined incredible spectacle with wonderful human characters and drama.
This week we travel back to the 1940s with our introduction to the MCU's first and greatest hero!
Joe Johnston made a fun and extremely charming film that perfectly captures the noble spirit of its title character.
This week we take a quick break from the MCU to have a minisode discussion on the 1988 horror classic, Child's Play with Victims and Villains Podcast host Josh Burkey!
This is part of a special crossover with his show, so if you wanna hear us talking about the 2019 remake, you can listen to it over on the at the Victims and Villains Podcast feed https://www.victimsandvillains.net/
This week we explore the MCU's first foray into cosmic storytelling with Kenneth Branagh's delightful Shakespearean drama, Thor.
A bright, imaginative and open-hearted space fantasy that always kept its grand ambitions firmly grounded in the wonderful characters and powerful emotional arcs.
One of the MCU's most under-appreciated gems.
This week we tackle the deeply flawed, yet still highly entertaining third installment of the then fledgling MCU.
James couldn't make it this week. So Gabe is joined again by Ryan Wall to discuss this highly unique film in the MCU.
More akin to the action and chase films of the 90s than the modern Superhero genre, The Incredible Hulk doesn't quite fit in with this series.
And in our opinion, this slick, stylish action romp is all the better for it.
This we begin our exploration of the most successful film series of all time with Jon Favreau's 2008 hit, Iron Man.
A bold, intelligent and highly entertaining film that sparked a series that changed the film industry.
We take a break between franchises to talk about the a film that one of the hosts considers to be be highly Underrated. The Greatest Showman beat the odds in 2017, becoming something of a phenomenon among audiences despite a less than stellar reception from critics.
Much like the critical and audience divide, there is a large difference of opinion on the qualities of this film between the hosts.
But there is one thing we can agree on, Hugh Jackman is the best!
In this episode we wrap up M. Night Shyamalan's comic-book trilogy with the highly controversial final installment, Glass. A far more flawed film than the previous two, there is still much to love in this ambitious and idiosyncratic tale.
This week we dive into 2016's surprise sequel to Unbreakable, Split.
A tight, engaging thriller with a surprising emotional heft and one of the most satisfying final reveals we've ever seen.
Our episode on Split has been delayed, so Gabe and James had a quick impromptu discussion on the cinematic event of the decade, Avengers: Endgame.
This week we begin a new series with M. Night Shyamalan's celebrated proto-superhero film, Unbreakable. The first chapter in an unexpected trilogy.
The definition of "Ahead of Its Time", Unbreakable is Comic Book Movie that mastered the genre before it had even truly found its shape.
A beautiful movie.
This week we discuss the unlikely sequel, Blade Runner 2049 with the help of guest Quentin Irey.
A film that takes the themes, ideas and visuals of the original to new heights.
You can follow Quentin at...

This week we start a new series with the seminal Sci-Fi classic, Blade Runner.
A film's who's legacy and influence on Cinema is almost impossible to quantify. Yet despite its legendary status, it has received a somewhat mixed reception with audiences both at the time of its release and to this day.
There is even a bit a disagreement between Gabe and James on this episode about just how successful it is in telling its story and executing its enormous ambitions.
This week we discuss the much-delayed final chapter in the Maze Runner Trilogy .
The most ambitious film in the series, and in some ways the most flawed, The Death Cure still manages to deliver a thrilling and emotionally satisfying finale for this above-average YA franchise.
This week we have a brief discussion on the 2nd film in the Maze Runner Trilogy, The Scorch Trials.
A much more ambitious film than The Maze Runner, this chapter continues to impress with its great cast and fantastic direction from Wes Ball.
Our full Underrated episode on The Scorch Trials...
https://underratedpodcast.com/2017/05/01/episode-33-the-maze-runner-the-scorch-trials-review/
Before we finish up the Maze Runner Trilogy with The Death Cure next week, we go back to the film that started it all back in 2014.
In this minisode we revisit the Maze Runner and have a quick discussion on this well-made and highly entertaining YA offering.
Our Underrated Episode on this film...
https://underratedpodcast.com/2017/04/10/episode-30-the-maze-runner-review/
This week we finish up our journey into Narnia with a massive disappointment. A desperate bid to regain the whimsy, magic, and most importantly, the massive box office revenue of The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, Voyage of the Dawn Treader feels like a cobbled together mess.
Not a terrible movie, but one without much of an identity.
This week we are joined by Brian Carnell(AKA Glumpuddle) from Narniaweb and The Talking Beasts Podcast to discuss the 2nd chapter in the Narnia series.
A darker, more ambitious chapter, Prince Caspian provides much fodder for discussion on adaptation, storytelling and filmmaking.
www.narniaweb.com
https://www.narniaweb.com/cat/podcast/
This week we are swept up in a fantastical adventure in the magical world of Narnia!
The Lion, The Witch, and Wardrobe is a childhood favorite for both hosts, so nostalgia abounds in our discussion of this excellent family film.
This week we complete our exploration of the Mission Impossible series with the 6th film, Fallout.
And to help us with our discussion of Christopher McQuarrie's 2nd chapter in the series, we are joined by our friend DJ Nichols.
Fallout is an incredible movie filled with some of the greatest action sequences ever filmed. But it also has a great story and some of the best character drama in the entire franchise.
Another great installment.
This week we praise Christopher McQuarrie's first entry into the Mission Impossible series.
McQuarrie took all the best elements from previous chapters and combined them into a film that exemplifies everything great about this franchise.
This week we are joined on this mission by our friend Keifer Wynn to discuss Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol!
This movie blew critics and audiences away back in 2011. But does Brad Bird's live-action debut still offer the same fun and thrills these years later? And how does it hold up against the previous installments in the series?
This week we spend nearly two hours raving about J.J. Abrams' directorial debut, Mission Impossible III.
What this film brings to the series is a narrative coherence and raw emotional heft that the previous two films never quite managed.
This week we are back into the Mission Impossible series with the highly controversial 2nd chapter from Hong Kong director John Woo.
There is some disagreements between the hosts as to how well Woo's over-the-top style works in this film and the overall series.
Whether you love or hate the film, there's a very interesting conversation to be had about it!
We take a quick break from the Mission Impossible series to talk about the films of 2018.
We run through several fun topics including Most Underrated and Biggest Surprises before going through our top ten films of last year.
This week we start a new series with Mission Impossible. Tom Cruise's signature franchise has defied the odds and become one of the most respected blockbuster series today, with each successive installment gaining more and more acclaim.
In this episode we explore the first film from Brian De Palma. A paranoid spy-thriller that keeps the twists coming while delivering several standout action and heist sequences.
This week we take a break from franchises to celebrate Kenneth Branagh's delightful and heartbreaking adaptation of Agatha Christie's seminal mystery classic, Murder on the Orient Express!
This week we finish up the Evil Dead series with a discussion on Fede Alvarez's 2013 remake of Sam Raimi's 1981 cult classic.
This week we complete Sam Raimi's Evil Dead Trilogy with the delightful Army of Darkness!
This week we take a break from the Evil Dead Trilogy to talk about the latest film from J. K. Rowling's Wizarding World, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
This week we discuss Sam Raimi's cult classic horror film that started his legendary career, The Evil Dead.

This week we finally wrap up our journey through the Star Wars Saga with the second part of our discussion on The Last Jedi.
This week we discuss the controversial 8th episode in the Star Wars saga by entirely avoiding the entire controversy and just exploring the film itself in all its powerful and flawed beauty.
This week we begin our discussion of the New Trilogy with the first Star Wars film under Disney, The Force Awakens!
We are back to movies this week! We discuss the first Star Wars spin-off film with Rogue One.

In which Gabriel yet again announces the wrong episode number. This week, in honor of the release of Cars 3, we examine the prequel to the much beloved Monster's Inc. How does Monster's University measure up to its predecessor? And how does it stand on its own as a film? We both agree, that while not as good Monster's Inc.(obviously), it is a very well made film that not only enrichs the first film, but also takes genre tropes and turns them into something very special and unique.
