For all you proper film enthusiasts who would like to peruse the films of TruStory FM’s entertainment podcasts by release decade. Get ready for a firehose of film history in these here stacks.
What do we think about how Marvel dealt with the darkness of the Red Room and Natasha Romanov’s backstory? How great are Scarlett Johannson, Florence Pugh, David Harbour, and Rachel Weisz as our Russian family? And what do we think about the changes made to Taskmaster? Check out the latest entry into the MCU then tune in!
The Mandys can’t hear movies anymore. Whether it’s because of main cast mumbling or not being able to turn off the voice overs, movies appear to be ruined forever. It’s possible that this is Steven Soderbergh’s fault.
The Mandys take on the oft recommended HBOMax series ‘Hacks’ this week. Jean Smart leads a divine cast, but how does this comedy about two women in comedy hit these two women in comedy? Don’t worry. You’ll know. Give it three minutes and you’ll know. And
Justin Lin’s back in the driver’s seat of The Fast Saga with ‘F9’. How does he do with his return? How are the action sequences? How many times is ‘family’ mentioned? And are we getting sick of any of it yet? That’s doubtful! Check out what we have to say on this week’s The Film Board podcast!
It’s Father’s Day around these parts and the Mandys have decided to celebrate by watching the latest Kevin Hart laugh-fest, ‘Fatherhood.’ Wait… what is this? Why?? Why are there SO MANY TEARS, KEVIN HART‽ Why have you made your Kevin Hart comedy so SAD?
Does this movie say anything new about being a dad or does it just rehash old ideas? Kevin Hart and the rest of the cast are great, but can they get past the script? Why is there a seven year jump in the middle of this film? It’s a frustrating one but worth the conversation in the board room. Tune in!
The Mandys head to New York to hang with Usnavi and the crew at the bodega. How well do they get along with Lin Manuel’s latest cinematic adventure? Let’s put it this way: Chu is a fantastic filmmaker. For the rest, you’ll have to listen to the show!
Is it Lin-Manuel Miranda’s original show or Jon M. Chu’s direction that makes this film come to life in such a magical way? Is it enough to get past a fairly basic story? How great is Anthony Ramos as our lead with the rest of the fantastic New York cast? And what was our favorite song? There are a lot. Tune in to The Film Board because we’ve got a lot to say about this one.
The Mandys are decidedly not trippin this week in a thorough exploration of the Netflix Original, ‘Trippin with the Kandasamys’. And speaking of thorough explorations, Mandy finds a new podcast that takes her to new, special places, while Mandy finally discovers the sweet, sweet miracle that is gin.
Does the decision to move out of haunted houses and instead focus on a possessed person help or hurt this film? Does Michael Chaves ably take over from James Wan? And just how much do we love Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as Ed and Lorraine Warren? Join us in the boardroom to get in on the conversation!
