Top 5 Best Movie Trilogies Of All Time

In episode 3 of the movie podcast, I talk about the best movie trilogies of all time. Of course, this is a subjective take and there are plenty of other great movie trilogies that I could have maybe put on the list. The Dark Knight being one of them or Indiana Jones. I think The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, Guardians of the Galaxy, Star Wars and Back to the Future though are some of the most consistent, easily re-watchable movies around!

Broken Franchises - The Top 5 movies That Brought Down Iconic Trilogies

Today on the show I cover 5 movie trilogies that could have been truly great. Unfortunately, they didn't stick the landing with the 3rd movie. Studio interference, director departures and cast shake-ups all contributed to these terrible movies getting made. Terminator, Alien, X-Men, Spider-Man and Blade are the trilogies being talked about today but plenty of others have fallen victim to the cursed 3rd movie.

The Death Of Disney 2D Animation

On this episode of the movie podcast, I go over my love/hate relationship with Disney. They used to be pioneers in the industry, making some of the most beloved animated films to-date. Now, they seem like a corporate conveyor belt. Pushing out remake after remake with no real love or care put into them anymore. I go through the history of Disney 2D animated movies and explain why Disney has lost their way with these soulless, live-action cash-grabs.

Getting Nostalgic For Movie Rental Stores in the Age of Streaming

Listen, movie rental stores weren't perfect. Not by a long shot. There was, however, a sense of community there. It also felt like you were getting out and doing something. Streaming services are far more convenient and keep you home but it comes at a cost. Movies have become less special since they are always at your fingertips. The thrill of getting the last copy of a movie is gone. I miss movie rental stores and I break it all down in this weeks episode.

Movies Don't Hit The Same Anymore

In an era of rapid technological advancements and shifting viewing habits, the experience of watching movies has undergone a profound transformation. Gone are the days of eagerly waiting in line at the theater, savoring the anticipation as the lights dimmed and the screen came alive. The shared communal experience of being surrounded by fellow film enthusiasts, collectively absorbed in the storytelling unfolding before them, has gradually given way to the convenience and solitude of streaming services, personalized screens, and on-demand content.

The allure of the silver screen, once a gateway to captivating adventures and immersive storytelling, now competes with an overwhelming abundance of choices, fragmented attention spans, and the distractions of our hyperconnected digital lives. The magic of watching movies, once an event to cherish, has become a casual pastime, often relegated to fleeting moments squeezed between other commitments.

This shift in the movie-watching landscape has sparked a sense of nostalgia and longing for the bygone days when cinema held a special place in our hearts. While new technologies and platforms have democratized access to an unprecedented array of films, they have also eroded the sense of occasion and the communal bonds forged through shared movie experiences. The aroma of freshly popped popcorn, the collective gasps, laughter, and tears that echoed through the theater—these tangible elements that once defined the movie-watching ritual have become increasingly scarce.

Yet, amidst the evolving landscape, there remains an enduring love for cinema. A passionate community of film enthusiasts still seeks out the immersive power of the big screen, the transformative journeys that transport us beyond our everyday lives. As we navigate this new cinematic era, we must grapple with the question: Can the movie-watching experience recapture its former glory, or is it forever changed?

People Take Movie Criticism Way Too Personally

In this episode of the podcast, I talk about a new trend I've seen lately, where people can't help but get offended over even the smallest of movie criticism. They act as if they have a personal stake in the film or if by pointing out a flaw, I've unlocked some toxic trait that needs to be suppressed.
