Story Screen Presents

Mike and Diana jump back into the Marvel hot tub of dreams to get to the bottom of one of the most misunderstood major entries of the MCU, AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON, and all the whacky (and genre-bending) Phase 2 installments that led up to it, including IRON MAN 3, THOR: THE DARK WORLD, CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER AND GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.

Mike drinks some delicious HULK SMASH cocktails with Story Screen's resident scientist, Jack Kolodziejski, while they discuss the forgotten (and sometimes straight up banished) 2nd film in the then twinkle-in-the-eye MCU, THE INCREDIBLE HULK. They go through just what works and doesn't work with this failed attempt at capturing the magic of comic books on screen, while also diving into the things that are actually quite fantastic about this adaptation. They also talk about the grimly misunderstood (yet still quite messy) 2003 film by Ang Lee, HULK.

Mike sits down with good ol' buddy, Tim Kelly, to talk about one of their favorite "sports" movies of all time, and how it may not be the happy story most remember it as. There is also a dive into the game of Texas Hold 'Em Poker, the genius of John Malkovich, and just a few tangents encouraged by sharing an entire bottle of whiskey.

Mike is joined by Diana DiMuro to not only get excited about next months, AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR, but to also look back on the Big Guy that started it all. Ride through IRON MAN, THE INCREDIBLE HULK, IRON MAN 2, THOR, CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE FIRST AVENGER, and THE AVENGERS, as these two discuss their love for Mark Ruffalo, the beauty of Chris Evans' posterior, all those different Iron Man suits and everybody's favorite overlooked cool bro, Hawkeye.

Jack and Robby are joined by Mike Burdge and !!!!!!!SUPER DUPER SPECIAL GUEST TIM IRWIN!!!!!!! to talk about the latest adrenaline pumping, heart stopping, anxiety inducing action flick to grace the silver screen, THE HURRICANE HEIST.

Robby and Jack dive into the cavern of schlock to check out the latest attempt by big budget Hollywood at capturing that mythological beast: The Half-Way Decent Video-Game Adaptation. So, how'd we do this time?

Jack and Robby have themselves a look-see at Alex "Ex Machina" Garland's latest sci-fi tale. Is this thing really worthy of the now dreaded Netflix Dump? Or have we gotten one of the first big surprises of 2018?

That's right, you bastards! Burdge. Stamper. Reeves. Bullock. Tequila. White wine. Join these two lovely fools as they journey into the two films featuring two actors with some of the most EXTREME and sweet on-screen chemistry Hollywood has ever offered, whether they're driving things really fast or just simply breaking the space-time continuum.

Bernadette, Robby, Diana, Jack and Mike get together for the biggest podcast yet, going over every category and nomination for the upcoming 90th Oscars ceremony AKA The Academy Awards. Films discussed include Get Out, The Shape of Water, Blade Runner 2049, Baby Driver, Lady Bird, Mudbound, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Dunkirk and much, much, much more! We also talk about how much we all love and appreciate Denis Villeneuve. Because he deserves it.

Bernadette gets together with Jack and Robby to talk about the new Netflix comedy, THE END OF THE F***ING WORLD, which has got everybody talking, just, like, not with microphones in front of their faces. Well, honestly, some probably do, but we really liked this show and wanted to do it, too! So, like, listen to it, yeah?

Jack and Robby check out the latest (and, slightly overdue) Marvel joint, BLACK PANTHER. Does the film hold up to the excitable hype, and just how damn good is that Kendrick Lamar album with context? Let's find out, shall we....?

Spoiler alert: It ain't good. But this episode sure is...

Story Screen's book club, REEL PAGE TURNER, continues its Alan Moore series with the author's acclaimed graphic novel, WATCHMEN, and the 2009 flick adaption of the same name! Jack and Robby discuss the differences, both positive and negative, between the two iterations, as well as possibly fall more in and out of love with certain aspects of each. How exciting!!

Mike, Bernadette, Jack and Robby get down with that sweet movie talk, recapping an incredible year in film as they go over some of their personal favorites, including LOGAN, LADY BIRD, GET OUT, BLADE RUNNER 2049, A GHOST STORY, CALL ME BY YOUR NAME, MOTHER!, STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI and much more!! Passions inflame over divisive benchmarks of yesteryear, wine is drank, and our lovely Family celebrates their one year anniversary of talking about movies with a microphone in the room and then uploading it to the internet for you to listen to. CELEBRATION TIME!!

Jack and Robby are joined by Diana DiMuro to discuss the surprise sequel to the 90's classic that has the chick that played Gamora in it! Also, Duane Johnson.

Jack and Robby venture back to a time before time: the late 80s and early 90s. There they encounter a world entranced by figure skating, beholden to the fashionability of the celebrity, Fleetwood Mac, infomercials and a young woman named Tonya Harding who got caught up in the middle of it all.

Mike is joined by Reeya Banerjee to discuss all things James Bond - from Sean Connery to lasers to fast cars to shooty guns to inherent misogyny - while taking a very close look at one film in particular, considered by many to be the ultimate Bond film: the 2006 reboot, "Casino Royale." They also drink WAY too many Vesper martinis and start talking about "Shakespeare in Love," Hugh Grant, drink coasters and sexual relationships with attractive women as a job perk.

Robby is joined by guest Mike Burdge to discuss the classic Alan Moore graphic novel, "V for Vendetta," as well as its 2006 film adaptation brought to us by the Wachowskis! Join them as they compare these two heavily different think pieces on the state of the world, society and politics, all while attempting to make as many V puns as possible, naturally.

The Batboi's get together for one last adventure with the Caped Crusader, traveling all the way back to 1966 for Adam West and Burt Ward's masterfully executed, "Batman The Movie." While discussing this highly enjoyable flick, the three also look back on the "Batarang" series as a whole, and what they learned about the Dark Knight, his villians, his sex-life and, most importantly, the use of ice puns.

Jack, Robby, Bernadette and Jeremy snuck out to see the dramatization of the inner workings behind the notoriously bad movie, "The Room." How did Franco(s) and crew handle bringing this whacky fairy tale to life? Let's find out...
