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: 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!

AotD presents Blockbasterds: 09/21/18

Welcome to the first episode of Aisle of the Damned Presents Blockbasterds, where Bryan and Kent talk news, trailers, new home video releases and what they’ve been watching outside the theater, all from the comfort of their virtual video store. (Did we mention they both used to work in one of them at some point? Unremarkable, but true!) This week, there’s some big rumors coming out of Warner Bros., but far from anything concrete. The new Predator movie had a scene get chop-pahed. (Sorry.) Oh, and we continue our luddite ways in arguing about why we prefer physical media. Join us! Or don’t, but it’s your loss.

Aisle of the Damned: 05/18/18- Adequacy is Its Own Brand of Disappointment

The Damned Boys have had a busy couple of weeks and they’ve got a couple of theatrical reviews and a couple reviews of direct-to-video flicks: the crowd-funded cult comedy sequel Super Troopers 2, David Tennant going full ham as a serial killer in Bad Samaritan, Japan getting hold of Batman for the completely bizarre Batman: Ninja and Tremors: A Cold Day in Hell making it an even half-dozen for the franchise. Are any of them worth your time?

We also have some bones to pick with Best Buy and Amazon screwing up our orders for blu rays. Are they purposely trying to hasten the death knell of physical media?

All this, plus news and comment on Aisle of the Damned!

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: 05/26/17- I Got 99 Problems and They’re All Audio Related

Alien VI: This Time It's Repetative

Apology ahead of time, folks. We have some weird audio troubles this time so after a very ironic introductory statement, Kent is very quiet through a lot of this episode. (Some of you may be pleased by that, of course.) We’ve done what we can to fix it.

If you can hang with us, we have more crazy Sony news, we talk about Zack Snyder’s sudden departure from Justice League, Kent recommends some British comedy and we lay the smack down on Alien: Covenant, the sixth or eighth film in the venerable series, depending on how you count. (And arguably the fourth or sixth film too many.)
