Silver Linings: Recent Episodes
TruStory FM
Welcome to Silver Linings with Ray DeLancey and Ocean Murff. Have you ever liked — maybe even loved — a movie that everyone else seems to hate? You're not alone! We look at movies that are often panned by critics and audiences alike to see if their hate is warranted. Sure, we'll talk about what might be broken, but more important: we talk about what really works in these films with the hope that we change some minds along the way... maybe even yours. So sit back, relax, and let's take the guilt out of guilty pleasures.
Batffleck may be riding the wave of popularity now, but almost 20 years ago Ben Affleck had such a bad response to a superhero role he swore he’d never don tights again. That’s right, for this episode Ray and Ocean are joined by Kyle Olsen of Marvel Movie Minute to discuss the red-headed stepchild of the Fox/Marvel movie-verse: Daredevil! Does the Director’s Cut make much of a difference? Should we demand #TheOceanCut? Can there possibly be anything redeeming about this movie? For answers to these questions and more, tune in!

Can classic monsters be resurrected? Is this movie more spectacle than substance? Are horror remakes always doomed to fail?

Breaking the traditional monster movie formula? Check. Why YOU should consider/re-consider watching this movie? Double check! Load up your silver bullets, or bring your favorite silver-handled cane as we take a look at Joe Johnston’s misunderstood 2010 remake The Wolfman.

Ahhh ‘Brightburn’ ... who would have thought that a film penned by the Gunn brothers would end up a film worthy of the Silver Linings treatment? This was supposed to be an absolute slam dunk of a super-horror-fest! Our experience with ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ set us up right proper for the initial run of this movie. Reviews were deeply mixed, but many of them said the premise was full of potential that ultimately didn’t deliver. It’s time to find some silver linings.
