Friday Nights at Blockbuster

Ciaran Vallely•anchor.fm

Blockbuster had a huge influence on my sister and I growing up. Heading down on a Friday night to grab a movie or two to get us through the weekend became a weekly ritual. We saw a lot of great things, but the occasional dud would slip in here and there. But, not with a few years behind us, and many many more movies watched, we are going back for another look at the movies that helped shape the 2000s. All episodes released on Wednesdays.

Episodes

Bring It On // Booksmart

A deep dissection on the cultural significance, political awareness, and ethical sustainability of the intelligent teen movie, both past and present. Digressions include the music of Cardi B, time management in the age of reality television, and the shadowy expansion of the Bring It On franchise. Host: Ciaran Vallely Guest: Lisa La Rocca

The Matrix // eXistenZ

Is this all real, or is it a simulation? Either way I need to learn how to turn down the difficulty. The Matrix is one of the most influential, and acclaimed movies of the last 25 years, but what about a smaller, similarly themed movie that got lost in its wake? An oddly patriotic episode considering the subject of both movies. Host: Ciaran Vallely Guest: Mark Krizanc

Harry Potter // His Dark Materials

Are you allowed to break format on the first episode? Well we did! The first guest on New Favourite Movie couldn't possibly choose a favourite movie from the Harry Potter franchise, so we talked about them all. And in return, I recommended to them one of my favourite book series...now a television show. Host: Ciaran Vallely Guest: Kate Vallely
