We post a little early to welcome you a our version of a Merry Christmas, a Michael Caine Musical!

I want to thank you all for making 2018 the best year yet! After iTunes deleted over half my reviews, more of you stood up to be counted and I appreciate that! People came to say 'hi' at Cineprov, which is award winni...

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we watched Alex Jones' favorite Muppet movie, Muppets in Space. Filled with government conspiracy, Dr Teeth (but no singing), and Miss Piggy as a conspiracy TV show host role, this movie is a mess, but still Muppets-ish. Please continue to rate and review us!

When I realized that this month had one too many Thursdays, I thought what is a crap movie that I have seen which is vaguely Indiana Jones-ish. I remembered this, the last Disney film that I saw in theaters for about a decade. Turned out it wants to be Stargate more than Indiana Jones. Please continue to rate and review us!

We leave the prequel and end up with the final entry into the saga, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Well, the last one for 19 years.

When last we left Indy, he had defeated the Nazis, saved the girl, and lost the Ark of the Covenant to bureaucratic red tape. However, this week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we find out where he was before that movie in the one that everyone used to think was the worst!

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we watch a movie that is not sure what it is. Deep Rising is part Alien, part Poseidon Adventure, part heist film, part inside man movie, all mess and bad CGI! A treat(?), but with appropriate scares to wrap up this monster month.

This week on Myopia: Defend Your Childhood, we visit Bill Pullman after that whole President thing and hear some of the worst dialog put to celluloid. We watched Lake Placid, people really need to stop ripping off Steven Spielberg, ok? And no, your pitch of what if Betty White were the bad guy in a Jurassic Park meets Jaws crossover starring a giant alligator does not sweeten the pot. Well, I am lying, that sounds amazing; too bad this was not. Note: There is some mild static on this episode, I ...

Welcome to the monster movie month Matthew maintained! This year for October we crack out a few spooky movies and have a little fun with them; well, as much as can be had with some of this crap. We start with the baffling big budget monster film Godzilla (1998). Fresh off the crushing success of Independence Day, Roland Emmerich has made some upgrades! Replacing sexy and charismatic Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum with Matthew Broderick and Hank Azaria. Replacing sexy love interest Vivica A Fox wit...

Welcome to the next month in our season 5 line-up, Cool In College. Curated by Daniel, these movies were the posters on every wall sold in the quads from under a cheap canopy. These were the movies you thought were profound when you were in your late teens and early twenties, do they hold up or are they cheap messages and indie film money from the 90's. We will find out together! Our first pick is the box office poison that was Boondock Saints. According to Box Office Mojo, the widest release it...

Has there ever been a joke that people around you like, but you just don't find funny? Maybe it has been stripped down from a better joke, or told so many times that it is no longer funny. With that image in your head, we watch the Little Rascals, from the director of Wayne's World. You heard me. This is the last precocious kid movie of the month and boy is it as doozy with a surprise cameo you won't expect; I was gobsmacked. As it stands, though, thanks for sharing the previous episodes and hel...

As precoucious kid month rolls on, we watch a Matthew classic! While this was not a movie I had not seen before, it lurks on in the pantheon of weird 80s movies. It has all the classic elements, nerd girl who is actually gorgeous but hideous because she has glasses, jocks and nerds, washed out hippies, and Eisenhower ordering the destruction of alien technology. Also, boring pacing! Fun! First thanks for sharing the last episode, it did great and hopefully the season will continue so well! Secon...

Welcome to Season 5 of Myopia: Defend Your Childhood ! We continue the precociousness with a blast from the cartoon past, which is the only reason I can imagine that Father Guido Sarducci, Dan Ackroyd, Clint Eastwood, Rodney Dangerfield, and Mel Gibson did cameos. Further, this helps cement Christina Ricci in the 1990s, why Brad Garrett is CGI animated in all of Pixar's movies, and is between starring in While You Were Sleeping and Independence Day for Bill Pullman. We watched the CGI-tastic Cas...

What can you expect in the new season? So much! First, once a month, we will have a bonus episode! (We even released one last month, if you did not tune in). Second, new theme song! Third, rather than seemingly random movies, we will pick a theme and a group of regulars will select their movie choices. This mo...

So, I was reminded that half the world is upside-down, which is a polite way of saying wrong, of course. So, in honor of our hundreds of listeners in Australia and New Zealand and the four people in Argentina, two in Chile, ten in South Africa, and twenty-four listeners in Brazil, we would like to share Thomas' choice, a winter film; Batman Returns. And what's not to like? Thomas' first podcast ever ( and now look at him!) Danny Devito as the Penguin, Christopher Walken as a prick, Michael Keato...

In honor of the big summer blockbuster Mission: Impossible - Fallout , starring Tom Cruise, Henry Cavill, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Angela Bassett, and Alec Baldwin , we remind you of a time where Jean Reno and Emilio Estevez could open a movie with Tom Cruise, let alone a movie. We are watching Mission Impossible! This surprise remake of an old TV property with the twists and turns that on Brian de Palma could deliever, led to other remakes like The A-Team, The Avengers (with U...

Hello there! I hope that summer is treating you with sunny days and frosty air conditioning! I am from Atlanta, as many here know, and it is too hot to think...or be funny, hence reruns! We return this we with a Sci-Fi blast from the past and you know what that means... this is Matthew's choice! The Last Starfighter, which at this point more people know from Robot Chicken than the original movie! As an aside, the premise of the movie is great, though I think the sequel would be along the lines o...

Hello friends and thanks for tuning in during this summer break! I hope you are staying refreshed and cool. This week we rerun a classic: Road House. Why is it a classic, you may ask. Well, I'll tell you! Daniel picked this one for many reasons. First, it was one of the most requested movies we had done to date. Second, it was a lot of fun to record, funny to listen to, and memorable overall. Third, panelist Zack wanders off for roughly twenty minutes in the middle. This movie gets to the meat o...
