Aisle of the Damned: 01/18/19- The Perfunctory Best (and Worst) of 2018 Episode

As the year begins, we see the movie podcast critics begin their ritual driven by ancient instinct and time immemorial; naming the best and worst films of the previous year. Bryan and Kent are on that majestic journey. Let it never be said that if everyone jumped off a bridge, they wouldn’t as well. They discuss the five worst/most disappointing movies of 2018, then their 10 favorites. There are sequels both stinky and sublime. Big movies. Small movies. Movies, movies, movies, up to our ears in movies! We count ’em down! Bryan invents the word “Spielbergery” too! Join us, won’t you?

Aisle of the Damned: 12/07/18- A Rocky Patchwork Quilt

It’s been a few weeks, and the Damned boys are all loaded up for the holidays with new movie reviews. First, Netflix has dropped the new Coen Brothers’ anthology, The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, and the film that dares to ask, what if Kurt Russell was Santa Claus, The Christmas Chronicles. There’s also the underworld-skirting thriller Widows. Finally, there are sequels galore: what’s Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald‘s biggest offense? We’ll tell you. Then Ralph wrecks the internet in Ralph Breaks the Internet. Then we finish up with the eighth film to feature Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa, Creed II. Who could ask for more?

Hear all this and less on Aisle of the Damned!

AotD presents Blockbasterds: 10/05/18

It’s time for another episode of Blockbasterds where Bryan and Kent of Aisle of the Damned talk news, trailers, blu ray releases and more. This week, Bond 25 has yet another director, and this one’s a shocker given the history of the franchise. We also have a metric ton of trailers to take a look at, including Captain Marvel (no, not that one) and Mary Poppins Returns. Plus, Kent finally saw The Lost Boys! Will he now sing about believing while shirtless and wailing on the sax? Only time will tell!

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.

All this and less on Aisle of the Damned!

Aisle of the Damned: 11/17/17- Under the Rainbow

Mjolnir Coppertone

It’s time for the biggest superhero movie of the year. No, not that one. Thor: Ragnarok is ready to hammer its way into your heart. But that’s not all! Bryan and Kent also take a look at the latest version of Murder on the Orient Express and the Netflix release The Babysitter.

But wait! That’s not all! We also talk news about Star Wars, Creed 2, Fox and Disney rumors, and the Sony Spider-Manless-Universe. And we’re not done yet! Vinegar Syndrome’s Orgy of the Dead release tries to do right by Ed Wood!

Aisle of the Damned- 12/23/15: Nazi Rick Astley (“Goddamn it.”)

Space Dandy. He's a Dandy Guy. In Space.

Bryan and Kent both love Star Wars. They also both love Star Wars: The Force Awakens. But such is the power of the force, that their disagreement over it’s light and dark sides brings all sorts of Sturm und Drang. They are more in agreement over the greatness of Creed and the okayness of Spectre. Plus, The Night Before and The Final Girls! All this and less in this episode of Aisle of the Damned. (Spoilers for Spectre around 19:00 or so, Creed around 37:00 and for Star Wars around 57:00.)
