Recap Cinema

We are slowly getting back to movies in the theaters and the Oscars have snuck up on us. Orrin and Jonathan go through whats going on at the Oscars - were there even enough movies to have enough nominees? We also talk shop on Mortal Kombat and the Legend of Shang Chi and other randomess.

After almost 5 years of waiting, the 4 hour version of the Justice League has been released on HBO max and we break down our thoughts and feelings on the long-awaited version. 

It has been a long time coming, but we are finally getting the Snyder Cut from the Justice League. After a botched initial take by many reshoots and rewrites by Joss Wheedon, Snyder finally gets to release his 4 hour version of the film! We get a lot more of, pretty much everything and it will be awesome! We go through the story, how we got here and what to expect for this possible epic!

As we still await theaters to open, we are starting to get a little bit of movement on the trailer front. This past week they released the new Mortal Kombat trailer as well as the Snyder cut Justice League trailer. There is a lot to unravel with both of those but Orrin and Jonathan give it a shot. Lastly, we muse on Marvel and how they could possibly attack the roll out of Black Widow and the movies that follow.

In the latest of the HBOMax releases, we bring the precap of Judas and the Black Messiah. This sort-of historical biopic focus on the fast rise of Black Panther Chairman Fred Hampton, the FBI and an informant who infiltrates the notorious group. See how initial thoughts on the movie before it his streaming this Friday, Feb. 12.

This past week HBO Max released its latest in the string of WB straight to streaming movies with The Little Things. Starring Denzel Washington, Rami Malek and Jerred Leto, this 90s criminal suspense thriller had us on different sides of the fence on this one.

HBO sure is getting a benefit from COVID, after releasing HBO Max, Warner Bros has decided to release its entire 2021 lineup on the streaming service. With movies featuring some of the biggest names in Hollywood, here is the ultimate list of movies to look forward to on HBO Max.

In a nearly impossible task, Orrin and Jonathan try to put together a top 10 all time for sports movies. It's impossible to actually solidify a top 10 for this topic, but we give it a shot and have a surprising entry at the same spot on both of our lists! See what it is and what comes in at our number ones in this weeks episode!

As there still aren't movies hitting the theaters, we continue our podcast fun by going through a list of actors who turned down roles that ended up being iconic. Would they have been a good replacement? Orrin and Jon go through this and more in this week's episode.

Welcome to the future! Life is good! But it can be better. You know what else can be better? Wonder Woman 1984!!!

We are finally back to the core of what we want to do in our podcast - Precaps for new movies coming out! And this week we have a big one coming out on Christmas day. The long awaiting, and often pushed back Wonder Woman 1984. We get into everything we know (without spoilers) about the much-hyped psuedo-sequel!

Orrin and Jonathan run through some of the big news coming down over the last couple weeks. We talk through the long list of MCU announcements, WB releasing all their movies in 2021 on HBOMax and our thoughts on where streaming new releases might end up. Lots going on here!

How did so many people miss The Nice Guys?! This 1970s detective movie hilariously couples Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling as private detectives who get caught up in a world of murder, betrayal, government coverup and the porn industry. In one of the more fun movies in recent memories that people missed, its time to jump in and see why The Nice Guys is a go back and watch.

Santa's naughty and nice list is notorious this time of year, so we thought it would be fun to go through our person naughty (Orrin's) and nice (Jonathan's) list. Orrin took this one about 80% serious which is a big win for Jonathan. Give it a listen and see if there are any surprises on there!

In our most heated episode yet, Jonathan and Orrin list their top 10 favorite Christmas movies. One of us took it seriously, the other one clearly did not. The the grinchness proceed with another top-10. What are your favorite Christmas movies?

How could so many people miss a movie with a line up of Jeff Bridges, Jon Hamm, Chris Hemsworth, Cynthia Erivo, Dakota Johnson, Lewis Pullman and small cameo by Nick Offerman? This shifting perspective storyline is really great ride that most people missed. Now its time to catch up!

Not without controversy, at least from Orrin's side, we test his quote skills once again! He is calling shenanigans but Jonathan thinks he is being a poor loser. What do you think?

You won't believe who is number 3 on our list, it will blow your mind! Just kidding, it won't blow your mind. But Jon and Orrin go through their most under rated actors - ones we feel should get more love for their acting abilities. Who is on your list?

Orrin and Jon take a stab at who we think the most over rated actors are today. We had a few differing opinions but the one on who we agree with might shock you. Any guesses on who it is?

Jon and Orrin talk about some of their favorite under the radar or oft-forgot horror movies that they have enjoyed in the past. With Halloween coming up this weekend, there some recommendations if you want to go deeper than our previous top 10s.

In the recap we go through the many years later sequel to Stephen King's The Shining, this one being Dr Sleep. Starring Ewen McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson and Kyleigh Curran. McGregor plays a now-adult Dan Torrance and gives insight into an expanded world involving The Shine.

Orrin and Jonathan have heard vastly different opinions on Jordan Peele's move Us. We talk through some of the supposed plot holes an whether or not we think they are valid.

One of our favorite games to play is "what movie is this from?" So naturally, we have to test Orrin's knowledge on Horror films as Jonathan throws difficulty ranging question with goal to stump Orrin. Does he do it?

Jonathan and Orrin tackle the challenge of coming up with our own top 10 lists for horror movies. This ended up being much more challenging than we thought it would be. Whats yours?

Yes, it's an Indonesian film. Yes, it's subtitled. But you are in for one hell of an action packed martial arts-fueled masterpiece with this film. See why we love it some much in this edition of ICYMI!

Description says it all. This was brought to out attention and we discuss weather or not Beetlejuice can or should be considered a Halloween movie.

This 1940's manchurian "kimchi" western is a big jumble of Japan, Chinese and Korean groups led by a bandit, a bounty hunter and an outlaw. It tastefully shows of amazing Korean filmmaking with entertaining characters, story and cinematography.

In this oft-missed star studded movie, we see Colin Ferrel, Sam Rockwell, Christopher Walker and Woody Harrelson lead this crazy intersection of fact and fiction all starting because Christopher Walken stol Woody Harrelson's Shih Tzu.

They announced who they new 007 will be and Jonathan and Orrin talk about who it will be, who was rumors, and some other tidbits around the world of James Bond.

From the ICYMI series at Recap Cinema we bring you Logan Lucky. This hillbilly heist movie featuring Channing Tatum, Adam Driver and Daniel Craig is one that many missed out on. Check out our thoughts and why we think you should check it out!

Big weekend out of the virtual event DC hosted, stealing the news headlines with a slew of exciting news, trailers and more from the DCEU!

Being described as the Nolan of all Christopher Nolan movies, we dive into the world of time bending, mind-altering cinema with the latest movie from one of the most well known directors and producers of our time!

In this "spiritual sequel" to the 1992 classic, we rehash the tales of this urban legend and how it is redeeming itself from an oft-shunned original. Coming from the mind of Jordan Peele, this is potentially the horror film of 2020.

Quick thought from Orrin and Jonathan on the untimely and unfortunate passing of the king, Chadwick Boseman.

With a strange and ever changing history, The New Mutants is setting itself up as a horror like x-men film without any of the typical faces we see in the X-Men world. This was one of the films that got hit by the Disney/Fox transfer, but one that has been working to be released for year.

In the third installment of the wonder world of Bill and Ted and their goal to "be excellent" to each other, we once again are getting hit with the original OGs of the series, Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter. Check out everything we know so far about the third film in this classic series!
