It’s time for our December 2022’s Flickchart Re-Ranking. We RoShamBo. We reminisce on old series. And we shake the Flickchart tree.
The members have spoken! For our next three member bonus episodes, they wanted to hear us talk through all the Jaws sequels. So we kick things off this month with Jeannot Szwarc’s 1978 film Jaws 2. It doesn’t hold a candle to the original, but is it bad? Does it work? Can we find things to enjoy in it? Tune in to find out!
This series is over. We’ve covered The Raid and The Raid 2. So what did we think of the pair of Gareth Evans’ action films? How’s the level of violence? What about the story? And have we picked up any silat yet? Tune in!
We return to the world of Gizmo and the Mogwai with our October 2022 member bonus episode discussing Joe Dante’s wacky 1990 movie, Gremlins 2: The New Batch. It’s a crazy sequel. Does that make it better or worse? Certainly a lot to discuss!
This series is over. We’ve covered Before Sunrise, Before Sunset and Before Midnight. So what did we think of Richard Linklater’s trilogy and what they brought to the table?
It’s time for our member bonus episode for October 2022’s Flickchart Re-Ranking. We do some horror re-ranking before jumping into the regular stuff.
This series is over. We’ve covered all three of the Pitch Perfect films. So what did we think of them and what they brought to the table? How are the songs? What about the comedy? The characters? The direction? Why is there such a shift from the first to the last two? And did we really need to meet Amy’s Dad? Tune in!
We wrap up our Cloververse franchise conversations with this member bonus episode, in which we discuss Julius Onah’s 2018 film “The Cloverfield Paradox.” Would it have been better without the Cloververse connections? Tune in!
Our Back to the Future series is over. We’ve covered all three parts of the franchise. So what did we think of them? Why does the first hold up so much better than the other two? How would we rank them? Tune in!
It’s time for our member bonus episode for September 2022’s Flickchart Re-Ranking. Let’s see how things shake up. What films go head-to-head today?
