Three Cylinder Stardrive

After a three year run, we have decided to finally power down the stardrive.  We are sad to do so, but life has changed drastically for both of us and we don't have the time to devote to it anymore.  We've enjoyed making you laugh, watching weird and horrible movies together, looking at pilot episodes for ancient lame shows, and reviewing some new films here and there. It's been a blast.  Richard and I will still see movies together and watch awful ones, too.  We just won't be podcasting about it. We will leave the catalogue of all of our shows on Anchor for you to listen to and to download.  We hope you can go back in time and enjoy them.

This episode is dedicated to director and creator Matt Reeves, who just released Warner Brothers new film "The Batman".  We offer a spoiler-free review as well as look back at Reeves's first directorial debut, where he directed a segment in the anthology film "Future Shock".  

A little late, but we review the new Liam Neeson flick "Blacklight" and also Kenneth Branaugh's "Death on the Nile".  Our movie of the week is one that is out this weekend.  Rock out to the insanity that is "Studio 666".

In this episode we review the new "Uncharted" movie based on the popular Playstation video game series.  Does it hold up to the awesomeness that is the saga of Nathan Drake?  Also, we review the movie of the week: "Werewolves Within", another film based on a popular video game series.  Which one was better?  Tune in to find out!

Not much hit theaters this week, so we didn't really review any motion picture, but we did watch Amazon Prime's "Reacher".  We give our review from the perspective of someone who has read several of the Lee Child novels (Roger) and someone who hasn't (Richard).  Our movie of the week is "I Am Lisa", a werewolf movie with hairless werewolves, Lee Press-On Nails, and lots of bad acting.  

We were able to see an early showing of Roland Emmerich's new film "Moonfall" and, well, it's a movie about the moon.  Also, we review the movie of the week "Star Force".

We give a run down on each of our favorite five movies and movies we thought were the worst of 2021.  We also have one movie reserved for the special category: "Most Disappointing".

We went to see the new "Scream" movie and give a solid, spoiler-free review.  We also review the final episode of "The Expanse" as well as our movie of the week, which you HAVE to see... "Max Cloud".  

This week we review the Jessica Chastain vehicle "The 355" and discuss a movie we've been wanting to get to for some time: "VFW".  A mob of drug-crazed punks lay siege to a local VFW where a bunch of crusty old Vietnam vets hang out.  What could go wrong?

We provide (as always) a spoiler-free review of "The Matrix: Resurrections", "The King's Man" and our movie of the week (which we spoil), "Ghosts of the Wasteland" with Nicholas Cage.

On this episode we review "Spider-Man No Way Home" (NO SPOILERS!) and we also watched that new "Home Alone" movie on Disney+.  The moral?  They should stop making Home Alone movies.

In this episode we provide our review of Disney's "Encanto" and also share with you our experience viewing a new film for the holidays.  Yeah, that's right, "Santa Jaws". It's basically just Jaws with a Santa hat on his fin.  

We found a very weird horror movie worth a look called "Deep Red".  It's an Italian feast for the eyes and has some of the weirdest murders we've ever witnessed.  More importantly, we provide a spoiler filled discussion about the new Jason Reitman film: "Ghostbusters: Afterlife".  It's been a long time coming, but we were so glad to finally see it... and see it 4 times, we did.

On this episode we review Kenneth Branagh's "Belfast" and then the newest Resident Evil film "Welcome to Raccoon City".  We also discuss a lovely holiday zombie film: "Black Friday" starring Bruce Campbell

This week we watched an intentionally funny little movie on Showtime called "Bennie Loves You". You should watch this one, as it is genuinely funny in a really dark way.  (Trigger warning for dog lovers, though).  Also, we review "Eternals", "Last Night in Soho" and "Antlers". 

Over on Showtime there is a sequel to the movie "Agent" which is called "Agent Revelation".  No, it's not a sequel to the "Left Behind" series of films with Kirk Cameron.  It's a little unintentionally funny action adventure written, directed and starring Derek Tang.  He thinks a lot of himself, as the cast continue to fawn over his character constantly, but the acting is pretty bad... and the rest is pretty bad... But then we review "Halloween Kills" and Denis Villeneuve's "Dune".  That cleanses the palate.  

We found a lovely black and white send-up of schlocky 60's horror which is also strangely in the style of a Sam Raimi Evil Dead movie: "Here Comes Hell".  You can find it on Shudder.  We also review a couple of movies that are out right now in theaters.  

This week we review a movie that's been out for a bit, a movie by James Wan called "Malignant".  Yeah.  It's pretty bad, but it's also unintentionally funny and that's what we're about.  We also saw "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" and review that.  Next week?  Bond!

This week we are back with a really weird little movie called "Slaxx" which is a heavy-handed satire about cheap, overseas labor.  It was actually really funny, and we give a breakdown of the film for you in case you want to watch it on Tubi.  We also review Clint Eastwood's new film "Cry Macho" and a new '70's styled cop action film called "Copshop" starring Gerard Butler.

Once in a while we come across a film that could be a cult classic, and this one takes the cake.  "Psycho Goreman" is about the greatest evil in the universe under the control of a bratty little girl.  The film is nearly all practical effects and is basically "Wishmaster", a Gwar concert and the most graphic kids movie (if it IS a kids movie) we've ever seen.  We are both going to add this one to our blu ray collection, and you should, too.
