The Editing Bay

It's May the 4th (aka Star Wars Day), so over on our sister podcast, the 16-bit Gladiators, we're firing up the hyperdrive to talk about some of our favorite (or notorious) video games based in that galaxy far, far away.

With the release of a new film 25 years after the original, it's time to revisit the franchise that brought "fatality" into the gaming lexicon. This week on our sister podcast, the 16-bit Gladiators, we talk about the games and review the latest entry in the MKCU.

Don't call it a comeback!! Seriously, don't...because it's not. But long ago we made a promise to guest host Luke Hawkins that we would review Justice League when Zack Snyder's fabled cut made it's way to screens. Check out our "epilogue" episode of The Editing Bay as we compare and contrast this bloated mess with the Joss Whedon theatrical cut.

Been missing us? Check out our latest episode from our sister podcast, the 16-bit Gladiators, where we dabble in a bit of movie talk this week with a look at films based on popular video games.

It's our 7th annual end-of-year awards show, where we recognize great achievements in film and podcasting from our 2020 season. Find out who “won” in a dozen categories like Best Recast, Best Impersonation and Worst Film.

We'll be back next week with our 7th annual Eddy Awards special, but for now enjoy our latest episode from our sister podcast, the 16-Bit Gladiators, where we discuss our favorite video games that we played in 2020.

As we close the year and prepare for our 7th annual Eddy Awards, let's take a look back at some of our favorite recast segments from the 2020 season. And after you listen, head on over to http://editingbay.com (editingbay.com) to cast your votes for Best Recast Male, Female, Duo and Ensemble.

Special guest Laurel from the CRANEiacs podcast joins in the merry as we speed-review a variety of Christmas movies. From hokey Hallmark flicks to classic Santas, no snowball is left unturned in this holiday-extravaganza.

Here's a mini episode comprised of some cutting-room-floor clips, where we discuss new film releases debuting on streaming services, our favorite superheroes, and our thoughts so far on season two of Mando.

In honor of the passing of Sir Sean Connery, we sample a bit of everything from his filmography as we bid him farewell in this special episode.

We'll be back next week with our Sean Connery memorial, but for now enjoy our latest episode from the 16-Bit Gladiators podcast, where we discuss our favorite video game consoles of all time.

This week it's a special crossover episode with our newly-revived sister podcast, the 16-Bit Gladiators! In keeping with the video game theme, we're reaching all the way back to February when Sega kicked off their own cinematic universe with the Blue Blur's debut film. 

We've got a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT on this week's episode, so if you're a fan of video games, tune in for the first few minutes. Then stick around as we follow the yellow brick road to this prequel from director Sam Raimi. Apropos of nothing, the theme on this election week's podcast is “con-men."

Rounding out our Halloween picks for 2020, we dig up this stoner-slasher comedy about a slacker who loses control of his right hand to a serial killer. It's funnier than it sounds.

A cast of up-and-comers (and a few fan favorites) try their best to resurrect this script and conjure some laughs in this indie-horror-comedy from 2018.

With a remake/sequel in the works, and Halloween right around the corner, what better time to revisit this wicked 90s classic about a high school coven of witches casting spells and summoning demons. Move over, Sabrina!

It's Superbad, with 12 year-olds! That must've been the pitch Seth Rogen gave for this instant classic about 3 foul-mouthed sixth graders discovering love, friendship, and Molly.

Netflix took some heat for the bungled promotion of this French coming-of-age film, but is the criticism justified? We sift through the disinformation and discuss cancel-culture as a whole in this timely episode.

With a third installment in the TRON trilogy in the works, we're going back to the Grid to analyze this big-budget sequel to the cult classic that started it all.

Imagine an Adam Sandler movie, but without Adam Sandler. That's the gist of this low-brow comedy about a stoner video-game tester who is forced to live with his grandmother and her friends.

Love him or hate him, Baz Luhrmann has style. Whether his style is well suited to a modern retelling of one of The Bard's most well known tragedies, well that's up for debate.

We are all so shocked and saddened by the tragic passing of Chadwick Boseman that we've decided to break our scheduled programming for an episode dedicated to the king. This week we examine his non-Marvel works including 42, 21 Bridges, and Da 5 Bloods.

Kid 'n Play kick off this franchise with an all-star cast in a film that's one part musical, one part “day in the life,” and all 1990s.

Once upon a time, Vanilla Ice starred in his own movie. Let that sink in. Guest host Devin Pike joins the crew to roast this abomination and close the chapter on this dark age of rap.

Looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer for Christopher Nolan's Tenet, so in the meantime we're revisiting what is essentially the same movie, but with 100% more kickboxing!

If Jim Carrey's schtick doesn't wear you out, how about twice the Carrey? Watch him and Oscar-award winner Rene Zellweger try to make multiple personality disorder funny in this Farrelly bros. comedy from 2000.

In space no one can hear you scream, which is good because these teenagers are doing a lot of it. But then again, I would too if a NASA-engineered murder-bot was responsible for launching me into the atmosphere along with a group of non-astronaut high schoolers.

This week we tune in to see Jim Carrey perform one of his first dramatic roles as the unwitting star of a reality TV show.

On a very special episode of The Editing Bay, we tackle our first documentary and the timely topic of race relations with this Netflix original from director Ava Duvernay.

This week we mark the passing of director Joel Schumacher by revisiting this star-studded ode to being 20-something in the 80s.

Master-of-disaster Roland Emmerich has made a career out of destroying cities and national landmarks in his movies. But this time it's Mother Nature doing the damage, and there's nothing dreamy Dennis Quaid or derpy Jake Gyllenhaal can do about it.

We return to our post-apocalyptic motif for 2020 with this Mad Max-esque flick with a twist ending. We usually don't issue spoiler-alerts, but if you ever intend to see this movie (which 2 out of 3 of us recommend), consider yourself warned.

The 90's were lousy with crime movies featuring colorful characters speaking in their own vernacular, but this hidden gem is no Tarantino-clone. Don't sleep on this sleeper-hit or you might get Buckwheats.

Who doesn't like a good dystopian-future story, especially when told through a young-adult lens and starring a bunch of pretty 20-somethings? This week we pay tribute to the one that started it all, but are the odds in its favor?

Wikipedia tags this film as an “absurdist dystopian black comedy film.” Yup, that about sums'er up. Colin Farrell is here to talk about death and make you feel sad and stuff in this downer from 2015.

We get a dose of estrogen this week as Joe's wife Sara joins the show to chat about this Disney classic that put Anne Hathaway on the map.

With Wes Anderson releasing a new film later this year, and with the sudden passing of actor Irrfan Khan, the time is right to revisit this poorly-reviewed flick about 3 brothers on an Indian train.

Wesley Snipse does his best John McCain in this early 90s action flick about a terrorist hijacker who takes over a passenger plane. But this criminal mastermind forgot to "always bet on black!”

Move over, Russell Crowe…THIS Gladiator came out in 1992! But in every other measurable way, it is eclipsed by the Oscar-winning Ridley Scott film, save for the bonkers performance by the late Brain Dennehy.

You know your film trilogy is in trouble when the titular star of the first two movies refuses to work on the 3rd one. And yet, Steve James reprises his role as Curtis Jackson and almost saves this straight-to-DVD threequel.

It's a whole new-ish world, as Disney continues its trend of recycling their best animated features from the 90s into watered-down live action adaptations with this remake from 2019, in which the late, great Robin Williams is replaced with a grotesque CGI Will Smith.

Rounding out our trilogy of apocalypse movies these past few weeks is the shot-on-digital zombie flick from director Danny Boyle. If you thought the undead were scary when they could barely stumble your way, wait till a horde of them chases your ass down in a full sprint!

After a measles-on-steroids virus wipes out most of humanity, the Fresh Prince is left to hunt deer in his Mustang, hit on mannequins, and try not to get his trusty dog killed by ravenous zombie-vampire-people.

There's a potentially deadly virus going around that is highly contagious, and the government would rather let folks die than listen to the experts.

Before Guy Ritchie was directing warmed-over Disney remakes from the 90s, he was putting his spin on Tarantino in this ensemble heist movie. Turn the subtitles on for this one, folks.

Tigers and eagles and ferrets, oh my! This 80s fantasy epic has it all, including a ponderous appearance by the late, great Rip Torn. Did it deserve to be re-run ad nauseam on TBS in the 80s, or is it exposed as a Conan the Barbarian knock-off with animals?

It's a tale as old as time; Boy meets girl. Boy stalks girl. Girl gives herself over to said Boy with psychopathic tendencies and a penchant for leather whips. It's a 21st century love story in this first film of a trilogy based on Twilight fan-fiction.

After teaming up in 2010's The Other Guys, Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg try their luck at comedy again, this time as rival father-figures. Also, Kobe Bryant makes his first and final appearance in this film, so we take the opportunity to honor him here.

In this week's crossover episode, we are joined by Ryan and Laurel of the CRANEiacs podcast - a show dedicated to the long-running sitcom “Frasier” - to discuss the much-maligned three-quel in the X-Men saga.

With Bad Boys For Life cleaning up at the box office, we travel back to the early 2000s with this 2nd installment in an attempt to determine exactly when Michael Bay became a self-parody. Whatchyou gonna do when we come for you?

We're late to the game here, but figured we'd throw our two cents in on the final film of the Skywalker Saga. This mini-ep was recorded prior to our year-end Eddy Awards, so apologies for the brevity and lack of focus.
