At The Movies...10 Years Later

"You wouldn't last a day, out in The Scorch!" Hey there Tenders, J9's first draft pick is up and we are all set to revisit The Maze and check in with the Runners and all the other kids that have literal names for what they do outside the maze. Listen as we go on wild tangents about snacks, Maze jobs, the movie "Predators", The Scorch, weekly correspondance, STAKES, dystopias, sweet scale models, fake outs and YA movie adaptations. All that plus FUN FACTS and Tenzie Awards!

"You are not gonna run into problems if you just burn things. Haunted pen? Burn it!" Happy Halloween, Tenders!

Listen as we discuss our history with Ouija boards, the Parental Advisory of The Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack (on cassette tape), creepy old ladies, ghosts watching over us eat badly, the rules of Ouija, 35 year old high school seniors, the music of Roxette, how we'd act in horror movies and a real time realization of the comparisons of Ouija to The Ring (which it TOTALLY ripped off).

"It's not a draft pick. It's a correct answer" Greetings! We are trying a different approach to the 2014 movie season, and for the first time ever have decided to do a 5 movie (each) draft to determine which episodes we are guaranteed to revisit and review on this 10th anniversary year of the 10th anniversary movie podcast. So what gets picked? Does Jordan go 5 for 5 superhero movies? How much Disney can Janine draft? And will a holiday episode tradition throw a wooden wrench in the plans!  Join us and find out!

Showtime, A-holes! We're back! After an extended siesta, J-Bow and J-9 have gotten the team back together (it's just us) to celebrate 10 years of "At The Movies, 10 Years Later" and shake things up a bit for 2014's crop of Box Office Champions.  Up first is the game-changing, star-making and foot tapping space epic that took the MCU intergalactic. Listen as we talk about the killer soundtrack, goo, an abundance of blue villains, blackberry picking, Werther's Original vs. Play Doh, how this movie changed Suicide Squad, proper team building, Chris Pratt's weight loss, Dave Bautista's previous life as a WWE legend and his second life as a respected Hollywood actor and James Gunn's new gig.

Warp speed, y'all! We are going back through a time rift and revisiting the alternate universe Star Trek sequel, which should have been called: Star Trek: Wrath of John Harrison.

We're back to kick off our 2013 season with one of Chadwick Boseman's more underrated performances as Jackie Robinson.

"Bane is funny. He's got jokes" After 8 years of being a recluse, hidden away from the world, Bruce Wayne dons the Batman cowl and the Dark Knight returns.

"I'm glad to know someone who shares my belief that booby traps are sometimes entirely necessary" Happy Halloween Tenders! We've got a lot on the go right now but there was no way we would skip over a chance to experience some frights and return to the found footage franchise that is a license to print money: Paranormal Activity. Listen as we discuss some of our fears, adult trick or treating, buffet cantaloupe, our last tricks and treats, Mr. Tumnus if he as an asshole, socks and sandals and booby traps!
