Film Class Zeros

Hey there, Daywalkers! In this episode, the Film Class Zeros sink their teeth into Blade, the 1998 techno-tastic vampire-slaying Wesley Snipes action flick. Get your shades, slap on your 9,000 SPF sunscreen and join us as we talk about uphill ice-skating, CGI's shelf life, and how this movie spawned the MCU.

What'cha gonna do when the Film Class Zeros come for you? You watch Bad Boys, Michael Bay's spectacular directorial debut with Will Smith and Martin Lawrence! We talk about Bay establishing his Bay-ness right from the start, the 90s trope of dance club action scenes, and how all of this could've been avoided if everyone in the movie just communicated better. More like, Bad Listeners, amirite? Not you, though, you're great cuz you're listening to this episode!

If there's something strange in your podcast feed, Who you gonna call? The Film Class Zeros! We're exploring this spooky comedy classic this week, talking about Ivan Reitman's achievements, the film's legacy, getting bilked by used car salesmen and destruction by giant cheeseburger. Grab a twinkie, power up your podcast packs and give it a listen!

What is best in life?! It's talking about Conan The Barbarian with your best buds, the Film Class Zeros! For our milestone 10th episode, we revisit the sword and sorcery classic that was Arnold Schwartzenegger's breakout role. It's a big episode where we talk about all the goofy things in this flick while trying to solve the riddle of steel. Strap in for a wild one!

Bang! Zoom! To the Moon (well, almost)! In this episode, the Zeros revisit Ron Howard's take on the fateful events that became NASA's “successful failure.” We talk about the recent trend in space tourism, why mission control looks like a ska band, and if Ed Harris would've been the perfect Captain America. Strap into your “vomit comet” and join us for the ride!

On this episode, the merry men of this podcast take aim at Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights! The Zeros get deep into the woods with this one, comparing this movie to the Kevin Costner blockbuster “Prince of Thieves” as well as exploring other iterations of the legendary outlaw. Does this movie still hold up? Pump up your LA Gear sneakers and jump in to find out!

The Film Class Zeros are wandering into town with a guitar case filled with… Movies? This episode's subject is Desperado, the 1995 action hit by Robert Rodriguez. It's a flick with lots going on: Big, bombastic shoot-outs, Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek trying to out sexy each other, and Danny Trejo being the baddest dude in a whole town of bad dudes.

Take a dive with us into this episode where we talk about this underappreciated Wes Anderson classic about a past-his-prime adventurer on a mission of revenge. Beware, for beneath the sea lies many mysteries, as well as terrible celebrity impressions. Bring your dynamite and wool cap along for this one, it's going to be a wild ride!

We revisit this trope-tastic mid-eighties Stallone-powered shoot-em-up and try to decide if it's an earnest attempt at a serious crime drama or an action film parody. Either way, we get Shao Kahn and Sledgehammer in the same movie! Melons get wrecked, matches get chewed, and Sgt. Gonzalez isn't real.

Boogie-woogie! We take a look at the 1992 Whoopi Goldberg comedy about a Reno lounge singer placed in witness protection amongst a convent of nuns who can't sing. Together, they use the power of music to clean up the town and defeat Harvey Keitel. It's a flick that gets by on charm and toe-tappin' nun jams. Slip into a hand-me-down purple mink robe and join us!

We take a flying leap into Jackie Chan's action-packed flick about a typical day in the Bronx: diamond heists, beer bottle baseball and hovercraft chases. We talk about skewed New York City movie geography, the value of practical stunt work, and get BMX bikes confused with motocross motorcycles. Rich gets a 25 year old bee out of his bonnet. See you in the Bronx!

Creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky, but enough about Alex and Rich, let's talk about The Addams Family! In this episode, we chat about how the magnificently macabre family of oddballs made us feel right at home. Come for the laughs, stay for the Mamushka!

Film Class Zeros shadow-kicks things off with Mortal Kombat, the first film adaptation of the legendary arcade fighting game. What it lacks in cartoon-y dismemberment, it makes up for in memorable lines, particularly by Long Island's own Christopher Lambert (look it up). Get over here… and listen to this episode!
