This week, we're throwing it back to another of our favorite battles. They are easily two of the best sci-fi films of the past 20 years, so this was far from easy.    Time to fight it out once again! We're tackling two of Tom Cruise's best - Minority Report and Edge of Tomorrow (AKA Live, Die, Repeat). As always, this versus episode gets bloody, and it's all for your amusement. Enjoy!   Make sure to check us out at Get2theMovies.com and follow @get2themovies on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!

We're throwing it back to 2018 for our James Bond vs Mission Impossible epic throwdown. Enjoy!   In honor of the release of Mission: Impossible - Fallout, we're pitting Ethan Hunt and team up against that other kinda famous spy franchise. That's right, we're talking about Bond...James Bond. This is IMF vs MI6. It's MI6 vs M:I6. Tom Cruise vs...a bunch of guys.  Neal is dead certain 007 is the obvious winner, citing iconic portrayals by Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. But Thiago and Nick aren't having any of that. Each has valid points but it just depends on who can shout their's the loudest. If there's one thing we can agree on, it's that both franchises have delivered up some of the best action cinema of the past 50 years.   Make sure to check us out at Get2theMovies.com and follow @get2themovies on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!

The Wyld Stallyns are finally getting back together after nearly 30 years. Bill & Ted Face the Music has officially started filming for a 2020 release date. We talk what the movie is going to be about and what we hope to see in it. And as always we go off on some wild tangents. Make sure to follow @Get2theMovies on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to stay updated on all new episodes.

Now that Avengers: Endgame is back in theaters with an additional 6 minutes added to the Marvel movie, we thought it was as good a time as any to revisit the topic. With Thiago having finally seen the movie, we were able to talk about the film in depth without worrying about spoilers. Though the most surprising spoiler was that Neal and Thiago both set aside their hate for Marvel and fell in love with this movie.

We're calling it right now, IT Chapter 2 is going to be the best horror movie of 2019. Pennywise and the Losers Club return this September with Jessica Chastain, Will McAvoy, Bill Hader and others stepping in as the adult versions of the characters played to perfection in the first film. The newest trailer is just a glimpse into the unsettling visual approach to Stephen King's classic tale of an evil clown that wreaks havoc on a small New England town. In this episode, we discuss our reactions to the trailer and what we expect when the movie hits theaters just before Halloween. Make sure to follow @Get2theMovies on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to stay updated on all new episodes.

In this episode, we interview director of photography and filmmaker extraordinaire William d'Anthony. With a career that spans three decades in every facet of filmmaking, working with people like Martin Lawrence, John Singleton (RIP) and Louis Gossett Jr., William has no shortage of fascinating stories and wisdom to impart.

There's a long history of comedians turning to dramatic movie roles and totally killing it. We wanted to examine this trend and see why it works. What makes a comedian such a damn good actor?  From Whoopi Goldberg winning an Oscar to Steve Carell knocking it out of the park in everything he does, there seems to be some significant overlap between comedy and drama. Let's talk about it.   Make sure to check out @Get2theMovies on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. You can also talk to us on our website - Get2theMovies.com.

When there's somethin' strange in your neighborhood, who you gonna call? Jason Reitman! The son of original Ghostbusters' director, Ivan Reitman, announced last week that he's going to be directing an all-new installment in the beloved series of movies, set in the same universe as the 1984 and 1989 films. Naturally, this made our inner nerd do double backflips. For the most part, this news was well received by the internet at large, with a few voicing their dissent. We address it all in this episode, as well as some theories on what we will see in the movie set to be released in summer 2020. With Jason Reitman (who was 6 years old, roaming the set of the original and is the OG Ghostbusters fan) at the helm, they'll be fine. As long as they don't cross the streams.

Long before their iconic roles of The Terminator and Aquaman two muscle men played barbarians. That’s right we watched the classic Arnold movie, Conan The Barbarian and the 2011 remake starring Jason Momoa.

Now that 2018 is in our rearview mirror, we're looking ahead at the next 365 days and all that is in store for us in the way of cinema. 2019 is shaping up to be an amazing year for movies, and as film fanatics we couldn't be happier. We're covering the ones that have us the most excited, from blockbusters to indies and everything in between.

Happy New Year!!! We hope you all had a great time ringing in 2019! We figured this was as good a time as any to recount the best movies of 2018. There were a lot of great movies to choose from including those in the horror, comedy and superhero genre. Alas, we could not cover all the good ones but we think we did a good job of selecting the cream of the crop of a banner year. Of course, it’s all subjective so think of it as a list of our favorites from the past year. Look out for next week’s episode where we cover the movies we’re most excited for in 2019.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! As this episode drops on December 25th, we decided we'd dedicate the entire episode to the last holiday of the year. We discuss our favorite Christmas memories and how movies have woven themselves into many of those special memories. We cap off our celebration with some choice readings of our favorite Christmas movie quotes. We hope you all have a meaningful holiday and a fulfilling New Year. See you in 2019!!

In a tale as old as time , well as old as 1954, a small town hires heroes to defend the town from a dark force! That’s right With special guest Nick Gambino, from Get 2 The Movies, we discuss one of the greatest movies of all time, Seven Samurai! This movie has influenced countless movies, including Star Wars, and was remade twice as an America western. We also watched the 1960 version staring, Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen, and the 2016 version, starring Chris Pratt and Denzel Washington..

In this episode, we're going to attempt to settle the age-old argument of whether the classic action film Die Hard is or is not a Christmas movie. More specifically we answer the question, "Is the movie that launched Bruce Willis to A-list status a Christmas movie in the most traditional sense?" The short answer is yes. The long answer is...well, that's what we address in this episode. We lay out all of the stone-cold evidence as to why it belongs up there with holiday films like Miracle on 34th Street, It's a Wonderful Life and Home Alone. We make such astute observations as "John McCLane and Kevin McCallister are basically the same person." We also cover the allegorical aspects of the film (McLane and the movie itself embody the truest meaning of Christmas). If you're part of the 25% who believe this timeless classic is a Christmas movie, then allow us to add some more ammo to your arsenal. If you're one of the non-believers but are willing to hear us out, then listen in and try to have an open mind. "Listen to our podcast, we'll get together, have a few laughs."

There are specific movies that are required viewing during the holiday season. You know the ones - Christmas Vacation, Scrooged, Home Alone, Elf, etc. But what about movies prior to the 80s? What about movies from the black and white era? In this episode we're giving you a guide to some of our favorite black and white Christmas movies starring iconic actors like Jimmy Stewart, Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. Of course, there's It's a Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street, and we do cover those, but if you want to dig deeper and discover Christmas classics you may have never seen, then listen in.

Creed 2 is yet another smash hit for the over 40-year old Rocky franchise. When they rebooted the series in 2015 with Creed, the Italian Stallion was repositioned as a supporting actor, which earned Sylvester Stallone his first acting Oscar nomination since the first Rocky film in 1976. Creed 2 once again sees the iconic Philly boxer as a supporting character, while continuing to dig deeper into the layers that make up the former boxing champ. Without giving up any spoilers, there are some signs in Creed 2 that suggest Sly might be calling it a day on his most famous role. Many are questioning whether or not these particular scenes spell the end, and if we'll see a Rocky-less Creed 3. There's plenty here to discuss and as we tend to do, argue. Listen in on while we break it down for you. Make sure to check us out at Get2theMovies.com and follow @get2themovies on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!

The holidays are never complete without endless traveling to see family and friends. Whether you're packing the family in the old family truckster for a cross-country road trip or flying coach on a plane flight from hell, there's plenty of room for drama. Nobody understands this better than the people who make movies, which is why there's no shortage of excellent films about the agony of travel. In this episode, we're covering some of our favorites and analyzing what makes them so good. Some are gut-busting and others are gut-wrenching, but they all perfectly capture the thrill and misery of travel.

Just in time for your Thanksgiving holiday, we've got a great list of dysfunctional family movies to set the mood. These are the cream of the crop of twisted and mentally unstable families that probably (hopefully) make your family look like the Brady Bunch. We cover films like Step Brothers, Meet the Parents, The Ref, Kramer vs Kramer, Death at a Funeral, World's Greatest Dad and Mrs. Doubtfire. So after your filling of turkey and sides, crack open a beer, kick back and enjoy cinema's demented take on family.

"When you grow up, your heart dies." Ally Sheedy's character in The Breakfast Club may have been onto something when she uttered those famous cynical words. We decided to get into a deep discussion of this concept as it relates to movies. We asked each other questions like, "Do you stay loyal to movies when you grow up?" or "Do you hate movies you once loved as a kid?" We didn't know any of the answers when we started this episode, but by the end, we had a better understanding of our relationship to movies as we age. Maybe you can relate?

Hollywood has been in the business of making movies for over a century. The wild and thrilling stories told through the medium of film are endless, but some of the wildest and craziest stories didn't occur on film at all. We're diving into some of the craziest behind the scenes stories from the set of your favorite movies. Did you know that an angry cook slipped PCP into lobster chowder on the set of one of James Cameron's movies? Did you know that the set built for Waterworld simply floated away? There are so many stories we had trouble packing them all into one episode, but don't worry, we covered some of the really good ones. And ever the seekers of truth, we spent a little time debunking some popular myths. Ready for some wild stories?

Happy Halloween!! Continuing our month-long series of ghoulish and terror-inducing episodes, we decided to lighten the mood a little bit. Horror movies are generally intended to frighten audiences stupid, but there is a sub-genre that exists that is aimed more directly at the funny bone. Horror comedies, going all the way back to the Abbot and Costello Universal monster crossovers, have existed to both frighten and give you a good laugh while they're doing it. We examine a large selection of this popular movie sub-genre and offer a guide of sorts to movies you can watch on Halloween that aren't all doom and gloom. Are you ready to roll the dice and either piss your pants from laughter or s#!@ your pants from fright?

Horror franchises are seeing a spike in quality in recent years. The Horror genre has a notorious reputation for making endless sequels and spin-offs of their films. Halloween, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw, The Conjuring - they all do it. Some of these movie franchises have got over 20 titles. The problem is, after the first movie, they often devolve into total B-movie shlock. While they make for great Mystery Science Theater 3000, they are often not very good. In the past few years, certain filmmakers have seemingly cracked the code and created some honest-to-God good sequels. It seems other genres have also figured out how to avoid the curse of the sequel, turning out quality films that stand on their own. We're looking at what made these new franchises stand apart from those in the past. What does it take to make a great Horror franchise?

In honor of Halloween, our month of Horror continues. In this episode we're discussing what the hell happened to monsters. Once upon a time monsters ruled the movies - monsters like Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolfman, Mr. Hyde and even big beasts that swallowed whole towns like King Kong and Godzilla. But somewhere along the way they became played out. At least that's how it seems. It's not enough to just have some big scary thing show up in a movie and expect everyone to gasp or let out a collective "Whoa!!" It requires more than a CGI monster to bust through a desensitized audience. Sure, it takes real practical innovation and a twist on the old to keep us guessing, but there has to be more. We're digging into it all and getting to the bottom of what's missing and what should be done to make monsters cool again. We're ready to be scared again. Are you? Make sure to check us out at Get2theMovies.com and follow @get2themovies on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!

It's time to continue Halloween month with horror movies that ruined us! When a movie is made right it has a visceral impact on the viewer resulting in some sort of emotional response. A comedy elicits laughter, a drama might elicit tears and a horror makes you vow to never ever in your life approach that subject ever again. By way of example, Jaws made us afraid to go in the water and IT made us swear off clowns. In fact, those movies negatively affected hundreds of thousands if not millions of people. They did their job well. There are a number of films which were able to hold this kind of power over us, and we're covering them in this episode. We're laying our souls bare and opening up to you, so please be kind. These are our fears and the things we vowed never to share a room with again. Maybe you can relate.

As All Hallow's Eve steadily creeps towards us, we thought it fitting to pit three of cinema's ultimate baddies against each other. Let's get to know these charming killers, shall we? After making a deal with the devil, Freddy Krueger haunts your nightmares wielding his signature razor-clad glove. There's no escaping this pizza-faced bad guy, not even Johnny Depp is safe. Jason Voorhies, star of the Friday the 13th films, has a bit of a murky backstory, but one thing's for sure, he loves killing any horny teenager who even thinks of enjoying a summer by his lake. Finally, there's Michael Myers. This silent killer is the embodiment of pure evil and is the kind of guy that never knows when to quit. Myers can even make a William Shatner Halloween mask look scary. Who will win in this take-no-prisoners blood fest? From the camp to the gory, the seemingly endless titles in these 3 franchises offers up plenty to debate.

Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's yet another actor playing Superman! Strong rumors suggest Henry Cavill is stepping away from the DCEU and will no longer play Superman. While it hasn't been officially confirmed, it hasn't been denied either. Instead the studio simply stated they hadn't made any decisions yet. What we do know is that they're not actively developing another Superman film starring the British actor. The studio however is full steam ahead on the production of other DCEU properties like Wonder Woman 1984, Aquaman and possibly Flash and Supergirl movies, but no Man of Steel or Justice League. So we're taking this opportunity to look at who should play the only son of Krypton in what will inevitably be yet another reboot. There are a few actors on the shortlist that have got us excited and probably a bit emotional. This episode/argument gets passionate, so hold onto your butts!

It's often said that sound and music make up 50% of a movie's effectiveness. When you drop out sound, and especially music, you lose most, if not all, of the emotional impact. In this episode we're looking at some of our favorite movie soundtracks and why we love them. Some of these movies contain original songs while others, like Tarantino's films, are perfectly curated for the movie and the scenes in which they appear. So listen to us discuss movie soundtracks like The Blues Brothers, Top Gun, Mannequin, Beverly Hills Cop, The Bodyguard, Aladdin, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and so many more. And if you're a big fan of off-key singing, not unlike the sounds of dying alley cats, then this is the episode for you!

1, 2, The Predator is coming for you. Well, more like it's coming to a theater near you. We're breaking down how we got here in the long-running franchise and what you can expect from the newest outing. Hint: lots of violence and running, definitely running. It's been 8 years since we've had a new Predator movie and it's been 28 years since we've had a great one. After a couple of mediocre turns in the Alien vs Predator series and a step back in the right direction with Predators, the trophy-seeking baddie is back on the big screen with something that feels closer to the original classic. Hawkins himself, Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Iron Man 3) teams up with Fred Dekker for the first time since The Monster Squad, and we couldn't be more excited. The director is, in our humble and correct opinion, best suited to helm, what he's calling, a direct sequel to the original 2 films. The all-star cast includes Boyd Holbrook, Olivia Munn, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key, Jacob Tremblay, Sterling K. Brown, Jake Busey and Thomas Jane. So what are you waiting for? GOOOOO! GET 2 THE PODCAST!!! Make sure to check us out at Get2theMovies.com and follow @get2themovies on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!

It seems the new 007 film is hitting some rough waters before it's even started shooting. So naturally we're going to talk about it and offer some solutions that will most likely be completely ignored. With the recent news that director Danny Boyle will no longer helm Bond 25, the whole franchise is now up in the air. The 25th installment in the popular British spy series was scheduled to start shooting in the next few months in an effort to make a November 8th 2019 release date. After losing its director, producers were forced to push the release date, which is now rumored to fall some time in summer 2020. All of this potentially jeopardizes Daniel Craig's involvement. A Bond veteran for the last 12 years, Craig has made it pretty clear that he no longer wants to play the titular role. So they need to hire a new director and potentially a new James Bond. Here we go! Make sure to check us out at Get2theMovies.com and follow @get2themovies on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!

We're talking M. Night's Shyamalan's rebooted career and his biggest twist yet. Admit it, you never saw it coming! Starting in the late 90s with The Sixth Sense, M. Night Shyamalan became synonymous with twist endings that were nearly impossible to figure out until they were already upon you. Like, Spielberg, his name alone could draw a large crowd on opening weekend. But after a string of hits like Unbreakable, Signs and The Village, something happened. The magic seemed to wear off. Movies like, The Happening, The Last Airbender and After Earth were universally panned, and suddenly the once lauded storyteller was looking at a legacy in jeopardy. He was counted out but it's at times like these that winners truly win. Seemingly out of nowhere he wrote and directed one of his best movie's to date - Split. Scary, fascinating and brilliant, the horror movie put M. Night Shyamalan back on the poster. Like his previous films, Split had twists you never saw coming, but none more satisfying than the very end. That end scene gave way to his newest movie, Glass - a sequel of sorts to Unbreakable and Split. The creation of a uniquely original extended universe outside of the Marvel or DC system, was his biggest twist of all.

In this episode we're discussing the recently green-lit sequel to Rambo and what we would like to see that might bring the series back to its original glory. With 1982's First Blood, Rambo became the second character portrayed by Sylvester Stallone to become a household name. The other, of course, being a certain punch-drunk boxer by the name of Rocky. After 3 sequels, the last one hitting theaters a decade ago, it seemed John Rambo was ready to hang up his bandana and hunting knife for good. That was, until Sly decided to dust him off for one more violence-filled adventure in Rambo 5. The fifth installment sees the Vietnam war vet facing off against a Mexican drug cartel as he busts up a sex trafficking ring. You know, usual Rambo stuff. With a script written by the Italian Stallion himself and director Adrian Grunberg (Get the Gringo) attached, it's shaping up to be another wild ride.

Blockbusters, tentpole movies, indie films - we hear these terms thrown around but what do they actually mean? In this episode we're talking where the movie industry is headed and why studios seem obsessed with primarily pushing franchises. Sometimes it's hard to maintain artistic vision when appealing to the lowest common denominator seems to bring in the dollars. Plus, we look at how Netflix is changing the model and making a safe place for indie films and true artists.

This week we continue with the next installment in our Tom Cruise, the Legend episodes. Mission: Impossible - Fallout proves that the man doesn't know how to lose. With a stunning career spanning 4 decades, he's showing no sign of slowing down, and we've got no problem with that! We're taking a look back at all of his films with in-depth discussions on each, including trivia you might not know. This episode covers TC’s movies from 1994 – 2018. You'll hear about Interview with the Vampire, Jerry Maguire, Minority Report, The Last Samurai, Tropic Thunder, Edge of Tomorrow and more. So, RUN, don’t walk, to Get 2 the Podcast.

With the undisputed success of Mission: Impossible – Fallout as well as his 56th birthday, July has turned into Tom Cruise month. Keeping in line with that theme we decided to take a look at his unparalleled and hyper impressive career. Cruise’s filmography reads like a list of the best of the best in cinema from the past 35 years. Infinitely quotable lines like “I feel the need, the need for speed!” and “I want the TRUTH!” are rampant throughout his career; as are equally iconic scenes like dancing in his underwear to “Old Time Rock and Roll” and acrobatically descending in silence to steal the NOC list in Mission Impossible. We’re covering all of his hits and rare misses including Risky Business, Top Gun, Cocktail, Rain Man, Far and Away and A Few Good Men in Part 1 of 2 of Tom Cruise, The Legend. This episode covers TC’s movies from 1981 – 1993. So, RUN, don’t walk, to Get 2 the Podcast.

In honor of the release of Mission: Impossible - Fallout, we're pitting Ethan Hunt and team up against that other kinda famous spy franchise. That's right, we're talking about Bond...James Bond. This is Spy vs Spy. It's IMF vs MI6. MI6 vs M:I6. Tom Cruise vs...a bunch of guys. Neal is dead certain 007 is going to be the obvious winner, citing iconic portrayals by Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig. But Thiago and Nick aren't having any of that. While the Bond films might have that brilliant lineup of British thespians, the Mission Impossible films have an amazing team that sees an update every movie. In addition to Tom Cruise, they've got actors like Ving Rhames, Rebecca Ferguson, Simon Pegg and now even Superman himself, Henry Cavill. Each has valid points but it just depends on who can shout their's the loudest. If there's one thing we can agree on, it's that both franchises have delivered up some of the best action cinema of the past 50 years. And the 6th installment of the Mission Impossible series is no exception.   Make sure to check us out at Get2theMovies.com and follow @get2themovies on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!

This past week has been an exciting one for movie news so we couldn't not do an episode on the biggest announcements. In the same week we received word that Zombieland 2 and the Joker film, starring Joaquin Phoenix, have been officially greenlit by their respective studios. Zombieland still stands as the funniest zombie comedy of all time (next to Shaun of the Dead). After a failed attempt at an Amazon TV show, it only makes sense that they would give us the sequel we've been waiting for since 2009. The original cast is returning including Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson and Abigail Breslin. You probably shouldn't hold your breath for the ill-fated Bill Murray. The funny walking dead flick is slated for an October 2019 release, just in time for Halloween. Meanwhile in comic land, DC and Warner Bros have been trying to crack a solo Joker film for a while and now it seems they're confident enough to green light the project with Joaquin Phoenix in the lead role, Todd Philips (The Hangover and War Dogs) directing and Martin Scorsese producing. The comic book movie will step outside of the cinematic Justice League movies that are already in full swing. Instead they've opted for a one-off that will tell the origin story of the psychotic killer in clown makeup. It's been described as a dark crime drama set in 1980s New York and drawing from the popular Batman: The Killing Joke comic. There's no release date yet but they start filming in September which is just 2 months away.

40 years after the original Halloween, Michael Meyers is back to kill, maim and scare the s--- out of anybody who crosses his path and those crazy enough to buy a ticket. Negating the existence of the sequels and reboots that came later, this Halloween sees Michael once again breaking out of a mental institution and coming face to face with Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis). They’ve ditched the brother/sister storyline and damsel in distress/scream queen persona. This time Laurie wants Michael to come for her - so she can kill him. The new Halloween trailer looks like they’ve nailed the tone of the original without feeling like a repeat. Shotgun pumping and knife-wielding Laurie is a refreshing update to the franchise’s main hero. In this episode we’re breaking down the trailer and discussing all of the highs and lows of each of the installments from the past 40 years. Whether you’re a fan of horror or film in general, you’ll enjoy listening to us geek out. Written by Danny McBride (yes that Danny McBride) and blessed by John Carpenter (who’s returning to score the flick), our money is on this being a modern horror classic.

When you need a debate between Ghostbusters and Ghostbusters 2, who you gonna call? Not Nick, Neal and Thiago, that’s for sure. In this episode we descend into the final stages of absolute madness as we battle it out over which is better, Ghostbusters or Ghostbusters 2. While the popular consensus usually points to the original as the superior film, Neal and Thiago have something to say about that. From the scene-stealing Lord Viggo and Janosz to a walking Statue of Liberty and Bobby Brown tunes, they fight tooth and claw to crown the sequel the winner. Of course, Nick in his relentless mission to prove them wrong, doesn’t take his punches laying down. In what should have been a no-brainer, he has to scream to make sure his points are heard. He pulls out all stops with movie quotes, plot logic and examples of #2’s cartoonish antics. At the end of the day, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis and Rick Moranis have rarely been in better shape as comedians. The funny exists in both movies, a lot of which was improvised on the spot. Whether you like the first or the second (if you like the reboot more than both of these, you can honestly just go eff yourself), you can probably agree that both are infinitely quotable and have only gotten better with age. We hope you enjoy our battle royale. We certainly had fun screaming at each other for nearly an hour, all for your entertainment. We came, we saw, we kicked each other’s ass!

Sarah Connor is back!! News of Linda Hamilton returning to the Terminator franchise 28 years after her last outing has had us excited for some time now. But now that we have photos of her on set dressed like the badass Sarah Connor, we're geeking out real hard. Other than the silver mane she's sporting, this looks just like the Sarah we fell in love with back in the 90s. In this episode we discuss and pitch our ideas for the still-as-yet-to-be-announced plot for Terminator 6. All we know so far is that James Cameron is excited to bring the story into the 21st century to tackle subjects like AI and smart technology. With Deadpool director Tim Miller at the helm, James Cameron producing and Arnold Schwarzenegger and Linda Hamilton returning to the roles that made them famous, this is sure to be an excellent piece of cinema. Unfortunately, we don’t have any news yet on whether or not we’ll see mankind’s savior, John Connor, and whether or not Edward Furlong will play him. Considering that Cameron said the next film will be a direct sequel to T2: Judgement Day and treat the other sequels like they were a bad dream or part of an alternate timeline, it’s not unreasonable that Furlong would make an appearance. Terminator fans, join us for our ramblings on all past movies in the series and predictions for the future.

Movie sequels are like your kids. Often your firstborn is your favorite and then it’s just all downhill from there. But sometimes a movie will come along that totally blows us away and trumps the original. (Donnie Wahlberg’s kid brother Mark, anyone?) It’s rare but it’s been known to happen. Classic films like Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back, Spider-Man 2, The Dark Knight and Terminator 2: Judgment Day are all arguably better than their predecessors. This is in spite of the fact that the original in all four of those examples are stellar films in and of themselves. But this unique phenomenon of superior sequels doesn’t only apply to eye-candy, popcorn blockbusters. Before Sunset, Dawn of the Dead and the Godfather Part II are often considered step-ups from their respective franchises. So, in honor of the excellence that is Deadpool 2 (and Incredibles 2 and the return of Jamie Lee Curtis to Halloween), we decided to take a look at our favorite sequels that are better than the original or, at least, just as good.

Another week, another Transformers movie. Paramount just dropped a trailer for the new Transformers prequel (spinoff), Bumblebee. With the last 2 movies doing well at the Box Office but seemingly eliciting franchise fatigue from moviegoers, it begs the question, "Do we really need another Transformers movie?" The answer isn't a simple yes or no. If done right (read: if they listen to our ideas we discuss in this episode) then it could be awesome. And with Hailee Steinfeld taking up the mantel as the human lead in an 80s setting, there's definitely reason to be optimistic (insert Optimistic Prime joke here). Martin Short and John Cena also star and that doesn't suck. Make sure to check us out at Get2theMovies.com and follow @get2themovies on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram!

With the release of Solo: A Star Wars Story, we decided to look back at the movies that started it all. In this podcast episode, we're discussing (arguing) the original Star Wars trilogy and naming a winner once and for all. There are some die hard Episode IV: A New Hope fans as well as those that swear Empire Strikes Back is the greatest movie ever made. And of course there are some that would crown Return of the Jedi despite the appearance of walking talking teddy bears (Ewoks). Apparently sticks and stones can break bones and also kill fully armored soldiers wielding laser guns. Sure, that's plausible. It's all fair game in this unorthodox versus episode.

With the first BlacKkKlansman trailer dropping, we decided to take a look at the esteemed career of Spike Lee. With more hits than misses, the Brooklyn director has carved out his own unique piece of cinema with a style that stands alone in creativity and says, “This is a Spike Lee Joint.” Starting with the feature film She’s Gotta Have It, all the way to BlacKkKlansman’s standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival, we’re diving into his filmography for a look at one of the greatest directors of the past 30 years.

WE MADE IT! EPISODE 50!!! We'd like to thank the Academy...In this episode we're debuting a new remixed intro and sharing the mic with the creator of said remix, Spaceship. Calling in from the Sundance Film Festival, Spaceship helps us tackle a list of movies that people hate but we love. Some of our movies will probably make you cringe but for some twisted masochistic reason we can't get enough of 'em. We want to thank all of our listeners out there who helped us get to the golden 50. We honestly couldn't have done it without you. I mean, we could have, but it would just be three guys playing dress-up and talking into microphones, pretending someone is listening. Like a couple of crazies.
