Jackie Chan: Drunken Master (1978)

Leave a comment

We’re back from our hiatus and ready to jump into some serious discussion about a super serious actor who only makes super serious films. Just kidding. It’s Jackie Chan month and we’re kicking off perhaps our most fun month yet talking about the hilarious and wonderfully choreographed Drunken Master. What’s perhaps the most impressive is how on point Chan’s comedic timing is and how much charisma he exudes onscreen. If you haven’t watched it yet stop what you’re doing, watch it, and then join us.

Leave a comment

Hi and welcome to Who What When Where and Why We Do in the Shadows, a podcast about the What We Do in the Shadows franchise. It all started in 2014 with the Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi directed film, and from there expanded into the delightful 2019 FX show. This first episode in our show will break down what was so amazing about the movie and give folks a look at what’s ahead. Joining Bryan in this bloody venture are co-hosts Joel “Blade” DeWitte, Matt “Zombie Dog Spike” Dykes, and Drew “Eric Northman” Stanton. Sorry. Staton. Emoji winky face.

The Snyder Cut: Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021)

Leave a comment

We end our month of “Snyder Cuts” with THE Snyder Cut. That’s right, we’re talking about Zack Snyder’s Justice League, which had the unfortunate task of building an entire league of superheroes in 4 hours and somehow did it better than anyone could have possibly imagined. Naturally, we had to have an extra-long podcast to discuss how this all happened and why this film is proof positive that the world has been wrong about Zack Snyder. And naturally, we had to bring Matt “Zombie Dog” Dykes back to help. Guys, let’s talk about some Justice League!

The Snyder Cut: Batman v Superman DOJ:UE (2016)

Leave a comment

It’s a bird! It’s a plane. No, it’s our deep dive into Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice: Ultimate Edition. BvS is the film that really kicked the anti-Snyder sentiment into high gear, and we try to grapple with why that is while pointing out that the movie in its extended form is actually quite good. The acting is top notch, and the re-inserted scenes with Clark give him a story arc and explain just why things happen the way they happen. Don’t believe the hype on this one…the movie is actually good. Let’s talk about it, shall we?

Special thanks to Matt “Zombie Dog” Dykes for joining us to talk about the film.

The Snyder Cut: LOTG: The Owls of Ga’hoole (2010)

Leave a comment

This week on the show we’re continuing our deep dive into the “Snyder Cuts” by looking at a film that could have really used a longer cut – Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’hoole. As you watch the film you can see why Zack Snyder directed this. Beautiful landscapes, vivid characters, punchy pop songs – it’s all there! The big problem is that it’s an adaptation of a popular children’s book series, and like with most of these things, the problems stem from trying to cram as much stuff in as short a runtime as possible. Still enjoyable? Find out in the episode!

The Snyder Cut: Sucker Punch (2011)

Leave a comment

This week we’re taking a look at perhaps one of the most hated films in the Zack Snyder filmography: Sucker Punch. It’s been dismissed as exploitative, and has been derided for its depiction of women. It also features more special effects, explosions, and those darn slow-mo shots people keep making fun of all the time online. So, what if we told you that the Extended Cut solves most, if not all of those problems, and that maybe some of those problems were but projections of an already biased audience? Let’s get into it, shall we?

When you get a chance you should also check out the following youtube video which shares a lot of similar thoughts and explains what Snyder was going for and why there’s more to it than meets the eye.

Alice in Zombieland: The End

Leave a comment

Welcome to the end…..of our Alice in Zombieland series! It’s been quite a ride, and we’ve learned a lot along the way. Bryan, Joel “I Didn’t Think Of A Nickname For You” DeWitte, and Matt “Zombie Dog” Dykes are joined in spirit by Graham “Maybe a Specter?” Mason to look at the series as a whole and how it has impacted the culture at large. They also preface this finale with a look at the Monster Hunter movie, which can only be described as a continuation of the party that Resident Evil started.
