Hack the Movies is the "#1 Movie Review Podcast Filmed at an Abandoned Video Store" ...as voted on by Tony (from Hack the Movies.) If you liked Cinemassacre's Rental Reviews, you'll like 'Talking About Tapes'. That's our Monday retro review, pulled from our collection of VHS tapes. On Thursday, expect a review on something new or currently streaming. Join our rotating medley of misfits as they showcase their wasted lifetimes (dedicated to movies) for your entertainment.
The Hack The Movies podcast is a mixed bag of entertainment. While the hosts may not always provide deep insight or thought-provoking analysis, there is something oddly captivating about their mediocre banter. Tonyfromhackthemovies, the charming bully of the group, brings a unique energy and can get away with anything, while Newt serves as the funniest guy on the planet. Their conversations are often hilarious and filled with memorable stories.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is its lighthearted and humorous approach to discussing movies. It doesn't take itself too seriously, making it perfect for those looking to have a good time without being overwhelmed by bombastic celebrity guests or over-the-top analysis. The show typically features a new guest for each episode, adding fresh perspectives and keeping things interesting.
While some may criticize the lack of deep insights in their reviews, there are moments where the hosts genuinely offer interesting opinions and insights that stand out from typical movie reviews. This is not an easy feat to achieve in a saturated market, and it adds value to the overall listening experience. Additionally, Tony shines as a great host, and all the co-hosts bring their own unique charm to the show.
On the downside, there are times when the podcast lacks substance or coherent discussions. Some listeners may find themselves craving more depth or thoughtful analysis when it comes to movie discussions. However, for those seeking light-hearted banter and enjoyable conversations about films, this may not be a significant drawback.
In conclusion, The Hack The Movies podcast is an entertaining show that offers a fun take on movies without taking itself too seriously. While it may not always deliver in terms of deep insights or thought-provoking content, its humor and enjoyable conversations make it worth tuning in every week. Whether you're a masochist like me who can't help but listen or someone looking for an amusing film podcast to brighten your day, I recommend giving Hack The Movies a shot.

Ridley Scott's Legend had its 40th anniversary recently. To celebrate we decided to do a two part review. Joe and Johanna return to talk about the US theatrical cut of the film.

Some of you were confused when you saw that Spawn was Pedro's last episode. Unfortunately, a lot of his episodes were taken down, so some of you newer fans probably weren't aware of him. Here is the first episode I did with Pedro from all the way back in 2021. We got together to talk about Son Of The Mask. It's terrible.
Superman III is when most people think the Superman movies started to get bad. It went all in on comedy, got rid of Lois and Lex, and focused mostly on Richard Pryor.

We are back with Mission: Impossible III. A movie you might remember people liking. You might not remember what happened in it. After the divisive second entry into the series Tom Cruise got J.J.

I chose the mission of reviewing all the Mission: Impossible sequels leading up to Final Reckoning this year. Angela joins me to talk about Mission: Impossible 2 directed by John Wo. It is without a doubt the MANLIEST Mission: Impossible of them all but is it also one of the weakest entries in the film series? Watch and find out!

Kit Osbourne returns to the store and I return to the Saw franchise with Saw II. The first film was a surprise indie hit. Saw II reworked the formula, introduced the idea of Jigsaw apprentices, and upped the gore. It solidified Saw as a genuine horror franchise and made Jigsaw a truly iconic character.
Happy Valentine's Day! This year we're taking a look back at one of my favorite comedies which happens to star one of my favorite musicians of all time! Saving Silverman (or Evil Woman) Is about two friends who need to save their friend from a terrible relationship. We have all either had or even been this friend before. Watch our episode to see why we found this ridiculous comedy to be oddly relatable.

Manny Muskets is back in the store to talk about the most important piece of black cinema ever made, Black Dynamite. This film came out in 2009 and was a hilarious parody of 70s blaxploitation films.
