One of the most-requested movies we've gotten this year is The Lighthouse.

An exclusive review of The Lighthouse featuring Kent and Brian. (Sorry in advance)

Doctor Sleep

MAM Wide White (8).jpg

It’s been 39 years…so no better time to return to the Overlook Hotel. Ewan McGregor stars as an aging Danny Torrance in the sequel to ‘The Shining,’ ‘Doctor Sleep.’ But trying to make a sequel to a Kubrick film is surely going to equal disaster, right? Brian sits in with Kent and Richard for a RARE horror movie review of DOCTOR SLEEP!

Rants & Raves: 2019 TV Pilots

Mad_About_Movies_Rants_template (1).jpg

It’s a tradition unlike any other around here, where we all 3 spend way too much time watching the new TV pilots so you don’t have to and gather our thoughts in a binge-worthy Rants & Raves edition of MAM. Which pilot from this season do you think has the best chance at long-term success?

El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie

Breaking Bad ended 6 years ago, and with Better Call Saul still on the air, you'd think we'd have all the Breaking Bad content we need, until now. Vince Gilligan brings us a feature-length film focused on Jesse Pinkman's experiences. But is it necessary? Join Kent and Brian for this special bonus review of El Camino.

Zombieland: Double Tap

MAM Wide White (6).jpg

We've seen a trend over the past decade of sequels to comedies we grew up loving coming out, sucking, and ruining our memories of the original. Is this the case for Zombieland: Double Tap or is it a worthy follow-up? Join Kent and Brian for their review and grades.

Throwback! Zombieland (10th Anniversary)

With Zombieland: Double Tap set to open this weekend, it also just so happens to be the 10th anniversary of the original Zombieland.

Joker

MAM Wide White (4).jpg

It was quite a weekend in movie-land with Todd Phillips’ “Joker” dominating the conversation on social media and beyond, for both good and bad reasons. But is the debate surrounding the film justified? Is Joker a complex character study, an artistic masterpiece, or neither? Join us as we welcome Batman Shane back to the show to discuss it all.
