AotD presents Blockbasterds: 01/25/18

Kent’s carrying a grudge about Kansas City’s loss on Sunday, but that’s not getting in the way of his professionalism (or what was left of it to begin with). The Damned Boys have a lot to talk about after a huge news week that included a possible DCEU trilogy, another Ghostbusters film, and an Aladdin movie from the makers of Atlantic Rim. (Aladdin Rim?)

Plus, Bryan has some big news for blu ray, including the two words everyone wants to hear: Andy Sidaris. All this and less on Blockbasterds!

Aisle of the Damned: 12/21/18- A Marvel-Licensed X-mas

Spidey bells, Goblin smells, Vulture laid an egg...

Now I have a podcast. Ho-ho-ho. 

It’s a Happy Marvelkah here at Aisle of the Damned, and our sack is filled to bursting with reviews, including the web-slinging Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse! We also talk the Deadpool 2 rerelease: Once Upon a Deadpool. Is it worth seeing again without the best bits? Fred Savage says yes! Also in theaters, The Mule is Clint Eastwood’s first on-screen appearance in six years. Was it worth the wait? Anna and the Apocalypse sings in Christmas with a zombie outbreak. Is it as whacky as it sounds? Bohemian Rhapsody takes a fictitious look at Freddie Mercury’s life and times. And we even have a couple of Netflix offerings: the coming of age film Dumplin’ and the big-budget historical epic Outlaw King. It’s everything you could want under your tree and up your chimney!

Join us for all this and less in Aisle of the Damned!

Aisle of the Damned: 10/12/18- Goo Mashing Together

I scream, you scream

Hello, Damned fans. Kent and Bryan are back with another episode, and this time we take a look at a couple of films in theaters right now. First, Bryan got a look at the new horror film Hell Fest. Then they both saw the not-Marvel film from Sony, Venom. (Spoiler: Spider-Man does not appear.)

They also checked out a new Netflix original from the director of Green Room, Hold the Dark. Does it live up to his previous work, or is it another example of “steaming streaming?” Listen and find out!

Aisle of the Damned: 06/29/18- Flying Toasters

It’s a big slam-bang two-fer as Kent and Bryan tackle Incredibles 2 and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. How do they stack up? I guess you’ll just have to listen! Kent also takes a look at Hearts Beat Loud with Nick Offerman, and it has all the makings of an indie delight.

While they’re at it, they discuss the Star Wars implosion and the emergence of MoviePass competitors. Plus, they both do bad Sylvester Stallone impressions.

Aisle of the Damned: 06/01/18- Pew! Pew! Pew!

ET Phone Home

Tag Team, back again! This episode, the Damned crew looks at not one, but two blockbuster franchise entries with the X-Men series’ bad boy in Deadpool 2, and another kinda anti-hero getting the kid gloves treatment in Solo: A Star Wars Story. Surprise! Kent and Bryan actually disagree on these; a lot in some cases.

Meanwhile, we also take a look at yet more Star Wars news and lots of assorted odds and ends. For those interested:
Deadpool spoilers at 49:47
Solo review at 1:13:19

Aisle of the Damned: 05/04/18- Baby Geniuses 3: Infant War

Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness

Bryan and Kent, like most people, apparently,  have just borne witness to the glory of Thanos in Avengers: Infinity War, the culmination (for now) of Marvel’s long game that started with Iron Man and has continued for 18 movies. And that’s about it. Really, it’s just a long, long discussion of the movie because there’s a lot to unpack here for a couple of movie-lovin’ nerds who’ve read their share of funny books.

Aisle of the Damned: 12/22/17- O hai, Luke

 

Yep, it’s the hap-happiest season of all: Star Wars movie release time! Oh, and Chanukkah or something is going on too. Bryan and Kent discuss Star Wars: The Last Jedi and the petulant reaction of a certain section of fanboys.

Not satisfied with that, they also discuss The Disaster Artist, with James Franco taking on the role of Tommy Wiseau, the auteur behind The Room.

We also have a slew of trailers for upcoming 2018 films and a big discussion of the biggest shake-up to hit Hollywood in years: Disney’s buy-out of Fox’s entertainment division! Plus, Quentin Tarantino is beaming into Star Trek, the National Film Registry has picked 25 new entries and some GI Joe news.

Aisle of the Damned: 08/11/17- Because Lionsgate, That’s Why

More like Dork Tower, amIright?

Bryan and Kent saw the big-screen adaptation of Stephen King’s The Dark Tower and both were confused by the experience, though not as much by the film. Kent, meanwhile, has seen the artiest of arthouse fare, A Ghost Story. Does the experience haunt him?

Meanwhile, the boys take advantage of a slow news week to review the Spider-Man that could have been, had Sony not handed him over to Marvel, and he takes a severe turn towards the Herbert West.

Aisle of the Damned: 07/07/17- Boss Baby Driver’s Day Out

Simon and Garfunkel, not KISS

Baby Driver, auteur Edgar Wright’s latest lean, mean, high-octane comedic thriller, is finally here, and boy, does it live up to the promise of the Cornetto trilogy. Let us tell you why.

Plus, we have a look at Despicable Me 3! After suffering overload from the Minions movie, does it still have the same punch?

Meanwhile, we have the usual news and a slew of trailers to look at, including a new Jumanji and, yes, My Little Pony: The Movie.
