Andy and Pete are back for more Flickchart Re-Ranking. This is our September 2021 member bonus re-ranking battle. Enjoy the rock-paper-scissors of it all!
We’re tackling James Wan’s wack-a-doo ‘horror’ movie ‘Malignant’ as our September Member Bonus episode on The Film Board. It’s a wild ride, but did we like it? Tune in to find out!
For our August 2021 member bonus episode, we add another film to our current ‘80s Comedy with Coolidge & Heckerling’ series. We talk about Amy Heckerling’s sequel to the original hit. Why does it feel subpar though? And is it Heckerling’s fault?
This series is over. We’ve covered Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Valley Girl, Johnny Dangerously, Real Genius, Look Who’s Talking, and National Lampoon’s European Vacation. So what did we think of Amy Heckerling and Martha Coolidge and what they brought to the table?
We’re taking July off as usual but wanted to give the people what they want – more Flickchart re-ranking! Here’s another round, and let’s just say Andy ends up faring better than Pete.
After 25 years, how well does Independence Day hold up? How much do we love the epic cast headed up by Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum, and Bill Pullman? Do the effects work after all this time? And how about that sequel? Tune in to our July hiatus episode celebrating American Independence Day – the 4th of July – to hear answers to these questions and more.
We love David Cronenberg, but can we fully figure out what’s happening in this film? How great is Peter Weller as the William S. Burroughs counterpart? What do we think of the fantastic effects? It’s a mindbender of a film that we’re talking about on the show as a new entry into our David Cronenberg series, but it’s for members only so make sure you sign up to get your membership so you can gain access!
Andy and Pete duke it out with the ol’ tried-and-true method of RoShamBo as we re-rank some of our movies on Flickchart. This is another June Member Bonus Episode.
How great are Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe, Cillian Murphy, Djimon Hounsou and John Krasinski in the film? Why does Krasinski seem to be playing it safe with his storytelling here? How amazing is that opening sequence? And those creatures? And the sound design? What do we think about the impending Part III? Tune in to this episode of The Film Board to join the conversation!
