Matt's Movie Lodgecast

We took a trip to the IMAX to see the Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody. This movie sucks! It's probably gonna win Best Picture at the Oscars but it's terrible! Anyway it stars Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury and it also features Mike Myers. Bryan Singer directed until he fled and then Dexter Fletcher took over, but the movie could've been directed by anybody or a biopic robot.

Wonderboy Damien Chazelle wows us into outer space with First Man: A Neil Armstrong Biopic. Ryan Gosling gives it a go as Neil Armstrong and is teamed up with Claire Foy, Jason Clarke, Kyle Chandler, Corey Stoll, Ciarán Hinds, Christopher Abbott, Patrick Fugit, and Lukas Haas. Technically sound, but does the story hold water? We'll let you know.

Venom! Go get em! We all saw Venom separately but came together to discuss it and tear it pieces. Must we keep going to these superhero movies Lodgemaster? Spare us the pain of low-rated Marvel movies please! Tom Hardy does his best but can't save this movie although Eminem provides music over the credits that we loved.

A Star is Born is one of the greatest movies of the year! We love it! Go see it! Then listen to our Hawt Take Movie Review! We love you! We love Lady Gaga! We love Bradley Cooper! We love Andrew Dice Clay, Dave Chappelle, and Sam Elliott! On Oscar night we are rooting for A Star is Born!!

David Gordon Green did a Halloween movie. It's called Halloween. It's got Jamie Lee Curtis in it. We went to see it. We talk about.

Writer/director Dan Fogelman brings his dreams to the screen in Life Itself (2018). Unlike the Roger Ebert movie of the same name, this movie features Oscar Isaac, Olivia Wilde, Mandy Patinkin, Olivia Cooke, Laia Costa, Annette Bening, and Antonio Banderas. And you might even see a little Samuel L. Jackson! This is Life Itself!

We swing wildly to the Left in this politically charged podcast as we take in Michael Moore's documentary Fahrenheit 11/9. Us Lodgers analyze all parts of this film about how we got here as a nation with this President Trump guy.

A gang of Lodgers descend on Santa Monica to see that Mandy movie on the big screen. Recorded in Palisades Park, we discuss Nicolas Cage and the hallucinogenic nightmare he starred in. Director Panos Cosmatos has given us a vision that haunted our dreams and we will never forget.

Shane Black kept the Predator movies coming with The Predator in 2018. We see it and we discuss the various actors in it including Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, and Sterling K. Brown. We found the movie lacking a lot but what it lacked most was Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Get sprayed with fresh Peppermint as Jennifer Garner goes on a relentless killing spree in this ultra-violent revenge flick. We didn't know what to expect from this movie and we were laughing all the way to Skid Row. With a special call-in guest from the Lodgemaster's father. One of our top episodes!

The Happytime Murders unites the creative forces of Henson Alternative (Ha!) with the comedic powerhouse Melissa McCarthy. Unfortunately the results are not so hysterical according to this Lodge crew which didn't laugh once. But we've got some words for these puppets in this Lodgecast review.

Dive deeper and deeper into The Meg as we dive into the wetness of the 4DX theater at Regal Cinemas L.A. LIVE. On a hot summer's day we get drenched for this shark movie starring Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose, Winston Chao, and Cliff Curtis.

Five Lodgers spend a summer morning watching Spike Lee's Joint BlacKkKlansman. Hear about Spike Lee's vision of Ron Stallworth's story starring John David Washington, Adam Driver, Laura Harrier, and Topher Grace. Power to the people!

Three Lodge members endure Dinesh D'Souza's Death of a Nation. Dinesh follows up 2016: Obama's America and Hillary's America with another documentary that may or may not be right up your alley. Is Donald Trump the next Abraham Lincoln? We are joined by some Russians at the Universal Cinema AMC at CityWalk Hollywood for a screening of this unique motion picture.

Boots Riley's anti-capitalist, pro-socialist, anti-corporate, pro-labor union, politically charged, dark comedy Sorry to Bother You is what is on the menu in this Lodgecast. We hit up the Glendale Americana and see this movie on the big screen. Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Jermaine Fowler, Omari Hardwick, Terry Crews, Danny Glover, Steven Yeun, and Armie Hammer star with some voiceover work from Patton Oswalt and David Cross. It's a strange one with a Salad Dragon that'll knock your socks off!

The Lodge held a festival of love and light as we reflected upon our experiences in Eighth Grade before seeing a movie about kids now in Eighth Grade. This movie is written and directed Bo Burnham and stars Elsie Fisher. Gucci!

Buckle your safety belts and we twist and turn into the strange world of Distorted. If you have heard it's a direct-to-video movie starring Christina Ricci and John Cusack.
