Hollywood Week

Ladies & Gentlemen, it's a group of broken down losers teaming up to defeat corrupt bureaucracy...no, we're not talking about MSNBC...we're talking about the latest and greatest from the MCU..."Thunderbolts*"!Why is there an asterisk in the title?? Why did they bring back Ghost from "Ant-Man and the Wasp"?? Why is Florence Pugh the most charismatic and pitch perfect talent the MCU has ever put in front of us??Many people are saying that Marvel is back...there's only one way to find out...let's enter the void and see what we find.    

Ladies & Gentlemen, the last time we delivered an episode of the Hollywood Week podcast, I was a young and vibrant, energetic 38 year old boy...but now I write this as a seasoned and grizzled 39 year old man. It has been a long time, but the promise of the summer movie season has brought us out of retirement to talk about our hopes and dreams for what lies ahead...Florence Pugh thunderbolting, Tom Cruise going on one last mission, and James Gunn trying to make Superman relevant...so much to discuss!Let's lock in, shake off the cobwebs, and see if we still have what it takes to deliver the goods

Ladies & Gentlemen, if you are in the mood for crude and vulgar insults, bloody assassination attempts, and maniacal cackling that can only be brought on by strong (strong) prescription meds...then good news...it's ELECTION SEASON!...But if you're looking for a healthy and light hearted distraction, then Marvel is COOKING with their latest offering, "Deadpool & Wolverine"! The movie is a box office juggernaut and a cultural phenomenon, but more importantly it's a much needed WIN for the struggling MCU. We obviously enjoyed the movie...but how much?? LET'S DISCUSSBUT WAIT...there's more! We also got some very eventful and very uneventful news coming out of Comic Con and D23...Robert Downey Jr. is back????? Harrison Ford is a red Hulk??? "Thunderbolts" is a....movie...that is coming out?? Let's break it down like that Australian lady at the Olympics

Ladies & Gentlemen, the summer movie season has officially kicked off and the box office is looking more dire than my Chipotle decimated beach body. We are definitely discussing the troubles that movie theaters are facing, but more importantly we're diving into the month of May and talking about fall guys, apes, lasagna loving felines, and post-apocolyptic hellscapes (not Oakland).  We're also pulling out a couple GEMS from the month of April since it's been so long since our last warm embrace. Fire up the grill and put on the classic 2000 N'Sync album "No Strings Attached", because it's gonna be...MAY...recap...

Ladies & Gentlemen...DUNE: PART 2THE REVIEWthat is all"POWER OVER SPICE IS POWER OVER ALL"

Ladies & Gentlemen, many of you doubted this day would come…many of you doubted that we had the sheer WILL POWER and DETERMINATION to record this ~3 hour~year end~spectacular…but many of you were wrong This is it! Despite the delay, it's time to reflect on 2023 and not only count down our TOP TEN FILMS of the year, but also hand out the often imitated but never duplicated HOLLYWOOD WEEK AWARDS!Along with falling off of my roof while hanging Christmas lights and saying politically incorrect things at Thanksgiving, this is my favorite annual tradition.CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES! COME ON!

"Alright stop...ANTICIPATE AND LISTEN"--Vanilla Ice, 1990That's right ladies and gentlemen, it's time for everyone's favorite annual tradition! Let's bury the past and look to the future as we discuss some of the biggest movies of 2024. Does Marvel have anything left for us to get hyped on? Does "Dune Pt. 2" win by default? Is Kasen going to try and bring up some goofy nerd sh*t?!ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAIN

The Roman Empire...The McDonald's .99 Double Cheeseburger...my ability to adequately host a podcast...all great things will come to an end, and this includes the once untouchable "Marvel Cinematic Universe".It was the best of times, and it's currently the worst of times for Kevin Feige and the MCU.  Disney + content is diluting the brand with mediocre series, the movies have been wildly inconsistent and convoluted, and "The Marvels" just made slightly less money than my elementary school's D.A.R.E. fundraiser in 1994, and it was also terrible and immediately forgotten.  Dark times, but it's always darkest before the dawn...right?? Right everyone? Please God tell me dawn is coming!We are gathered here for this very special episode to discuss "The Marvels", discuss how to save the MCU, and discuss the future projects and what they need to accomplish to steer this sinking ship back to respectability.  Just like my father said to me when I turned 13...it's time for a tough conversation. LET'S SAVE THE MCU

Ladies & Gentlemen...it's hot...It's TOO hot for me to attempt anything witty or humorous or thoughtful...but we all know what time it is...HOLLYWOOD WEEKSUMMER 2023 RECAP 

Ladies & Gentlemen, let's all imagine it's 2013 and you're in the board room at Marvel Studios...Kevin Feige sips his espresso while pointing his taser at you and says "PITCH ME...and SELL ME"As you sit there trembling, your brain starts firing off random synapses and your mouth has no choice but to speak the absurdity into existence..."Talking Raccoon!!""Vin Diesel is a Tree!""WWE Superstar Dave Bautista!""Zoe Saldana Green Alien Woman!!""Ummmm...Dumbass Guy From the Hit NBC Comedy "Parks & Rec"!!!!"It's been an amazing journey over the last 9 years, but we have finally arrived at the end..."Guardian of the Galaxy: Vol 3" not only has a lot riding on it because it's the swan song to this story, but it also has a lot riding on it given the current state of the MCU. Does it deliver? Where are we ranking it? Only one way to find out...Grab your zarg nuts and get ready to party...it's THE REVIEW

Ladies & Gentlemen...they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder, and just when you think your beautiful hearts couldn't grow any fonder, we..are..BACK!

Ladies & Gentlemen, there's nothing we appreciate more than constructive criticism...and although we've ignored every single example of this and banned countless listeners for trying to critique the podcast, we're still big big fans. When it comes to FILM criticism, there is one site to rule them all and that's Rotten Tomatoes..."Pearl Harbor" is sitting at 24%??? "Bring It On" at a respectable 64%?? "Ratatouille" coming in HOT at 96%?? Every movie must go through the FRESH or ROTTEN test, and tonight's very special episode has us putting on our prediction hats and looking at 20 of the biggest upcoming movies and their potential Rotten Tomatoes score. As Jigsaw famously said in "Saw 5"...I want to play a game...

Ladies & Gentlemen, We made a New Year's resolution to only put out episodes that Martin Scorsese would stand up and cheer for…and here we are…this is the big one and we hope you're ready…The Top Ten Films of 2022The 4th Annual Hollywood Week AwardsThe MVP of the YearLET'S CELEBRATE!

Ladies & Gentlemen, there's nothing more healthy and productive than ignoring what's right in front of us, not living in the moment, and constantly thinking about a future we have no control over...so with that being said, let's take a look at our MOST ANTICIPATED FILMS OF 2023!Does Marvel still have the same appeal it once did? Does Kasen even know what "Indiana Jones" is? Is "Dune Pt 2" an automatic #1 lock because it features both Timothee Chalamet AND Florence Pugh (HOLY SH*T)!?!?ALL ABOARD THE HYPE TRAINLET'S GO

Ladies & Gentlemen…certain things are forever…diamonds, Batman, my wife's memory of things I've done wrong…but for the purpose of this very special episode of The Review…WAKANDA is FOREVER!That's right…one of the biggest cultural phenomenons of the last decade has a sequel that went through more issues than the Arizona election process…the tragic death of Chadwick Boseman, the Covid pandemic, Leticia Wright not wanting the vaccine and then breaking her leg…is there any hope this can live up to expectations???LET'S FIND OUTWAKANDA FOREVER

Is “Top Gun: Maverick” the single greatest film ever made? Is “Lightyear” indoctrinating our kids? Is “Nope” dope or do we have no hope and will be forced to mope and cope as it slides down the slope of mediocrity?? It's time for myself and the Official Doctor to recap all the highs and lows of the summer movie season! SUMMERTIME SADNESSLET'S GO

Ladies & Gentlemen…there are certain events in life that will fundamentally change you as a human being.  The birth of a child, the death of a loved one, eating Wendy's chili for the first time…But all of these moments pale in comparison to the absolute SPECTACLE that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe at Comic Con!!!

Ladies & Gentlemen, we're living in a very unique time…a time where box office numbers are more inconsistent than the quality of this podcast. Is it the Delta Airlines variant?? Maybe the convenience of HBO Max?? The lack of new John Stamos projects??
