Sitting Around Talking Movies

My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 - is it big? Is it Greek? Is it funny? Those are just some of the questions Neil Rosen, Bill McCuddy and Bill Bregoli tackle as they review this latest effort from Nia Vardalos. They also look at the dark side of the music business in Kill Your Friends as well as the twenty-something coming of age comedy Get a Job. And they all have different opinions on the Will Farrell - Mark Wahlberg comedy "Daddy's Home." And make sure you hang in there to hear Bill McCuddy's story about My Three Sons - you'll look at the sitcom in a whole new way afterward.

"Star Trek Beyond" generated lots of controversy when its trailer came out recently but we've got inside info. Out special guest Logan Hill just got back from the "Star Trek Beyond" editing suite. He was researching an upcoming article for Wired and tells hosts Neil Rosen, Bill McCuddy and Bill Bregoli about watching this much anticipated movie get put together. Logan, who also writes for Rolling Stone, helps us  review "10 Cloverfield Lane" and the sci-fi thriller "Midnight Special." Oh and there's TV talk too!

Neil Rosen, Bill McCuddy and Bill Bregoli are joined by special guest Justine Browning and recap those crazy Oscars. Were their predictions on the money? How about Chris Rock - was he just right or did he go overboard? And did anyone actually pay for those Girl Scout cookies? We also review "Legend," aka "the other Tom Hardy movie" and "The Danish Girl," both of which are now on demand. Once again we have lots of entertainment but no Thin Mints.

"Eddie the Eagle," about the legendary British Olympian Eddie Edwards, is reviewed by Neil Rosen, Bill McCuddy and Bill Begoli who are joined by the very quotable Perri Nemiroff of Collider. We also take on the new film about Jesse Owens called "Race" and take time out to discuss our favorite sports films. 3 of us even agree on one! Perri, a horror expert in her own right, talks about the new on-demand film "Southbound." And we also boldly make our Oscar predictions. Listen and see just how right we are (or aren't).

Deadpool is a HUGE success! Neil Rosen, Bill McCsuddy, Bill Bregoli and Make Sargent all weigh in on why just how huge it is and what it's done for its star Ryan Reynolds. We also discuss new movies on demand inclduing Black Mass, starring Johny Depp, Trumbo and Second Coming (which apparently is two comings too many).

We also take on the MPAA's proposed new Oscar voting rules and whether Anne Hathaway is nice or not - Neil has some personal insights on that one. And as always, we tend to digress a bit. But it's always fun!

Neil Rosen, Bill McCuddy and Bill Bregoli, joined by special guest critic Caryn James from Indiewire, look at this year's Oscar race. They offer their reasons as to why it's not very diverse, just who got snubbed and who maybe didn't deserve their nomination. And they give their predictions as to who will win. So if you're in a office pool this year it may behoove you to give a listen. Don't bet the farm or anything but we do have a good track record.

Neil Rosen, Bill McCuddy and Bill Bregoli put 2015 to rest and discuss the year's best and worst movies. They also talk about how Star Wars: The Force Awakens may destroy the global box-office as we know it. And they give you the low-down on the Golden Globes: Is it a bona-fide award show and Oscar prognosticator or a glitzy party filled with drunken overpaid stars exposing their cleavage? (Not that it's a bad thing). And just what is the Hollywood Foreign Press Association? Are they legitimate journalists or an international crime syndicate just steps away from Interpol? Perhaps they're a cult...anyway, we look into it and shudder.

We're eager to hear from you.
