***J.K. Rowling is a TERF and a disappointingly terrible person, and while we at Collateral Gaming have enjoyed some of the fruits of her imagination during our lives, we do not agree with her transphobic worldview or condone her blatantly hateful expressions toward trans people. While not directly involved in the development of Hogwarts Legacy, we recognize that Rowling does stand to earn royalties from the game. Collateral Gaming also recognizes that trans identities are valid and remains in solidarity with our trans listeners.

We sort of dropped the ball on releasing an At the Movies review while Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was in theaters, and we didn't mention it on the Year in Review episode, but since Collateral Media has covered both of the previous films, we just couldn't not talk about the latest—and possibly greatest—one. So, once again, Collateral Gaming joins Collateral Cinema for a discussion of Jeff Fowler's newest Sonic movie, and this time we can get into full spoilers! With the addition of fan favorite Keanu Reeves to the cast as Shadow the Hedgehog, and the return of Jim Carrey for not just one Robotnik role, but two, it's sure to be a blast! We'll have even more content out very soon, such as our Ghost in the Shell (1995) episode with the Retro Anime Podcast, as well as our analysis of The California Kid.

So, we're finally diving into the 1994 SNES classic: Super Metroid!

John Williams' jazz-infused score adds a unique and unexpected vibe to the film. The movie takes liberties with the real story, but they enhance the narrative. The chemistry between DiCaprio and Hanks makes this one of Spielberg's best character-driven films. Memorable Quotes: “This movie is fantastic. It's extremely watchable and just a blast.” – Frank “Frank Sr. and Carl both admire Frank Jr. but push him in completely different directions.” – Bo “John Williams' score here is like a smoky jazz club—it's intimate, fun, and unpredictable.” – Thomas “Watching this as a kid, I thought this was the life. Watching it now, it feels like anxiety overload!” – Robert Call to Action: Enjoyed the episode? Subscribe, leave a review, and share with your friends!

Title: Back to the Future [Wikipedia] [IMDb] Director: Robert Zemeckis Producers: Bob Gale, Neil Canton Writers: Robert Zemeckis, Bob Gale Stars: Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Crispin Glover Release date: July 3, 1985 PROMO: Anime Talk (@AnimeTalk12) SHOWNOTES: LISTENERS! WE HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE FUTURE! On the latest episode of Collateral Cinema, Robert, Beau, and Ash discuss a perennial 80s classic and a quintessential watch for any movie fan: Back to the Future! That's right, the original 1985 film that spawned Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale's media franchise as well as helped establish an entire branch of science fiction cinema. The trilogy as a whole is a highly regarded piece of our collective childhoods, but the first movie in particular stands out for its phenomenal script, excellent performances, and unforgettable soundtrack. Preserved in the National Film Registry and widely considered one of the best films ever made, Back to the Future is a flick we're genuinely surprised we've taken eight seasons to talk about! If you enjoy our take on it, just wait for our takes on the atrocities of Bad Movie December coming soon: Neil Breen's Pass Thru and Samurai Cop 1 & 2. And if you don't, well, I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet, but your kids are gonna love it!
