Throwback! Point Break (30th Anniversary)

It seems like 1991 was a big summer for action movies because we not only got T2 from James Cameron, but his woman Kathryn Bigelow was shredding the gnar with Keanu and Patrick Swayze in POINT BREAK. But how does it hold up? As good as T2? Better?? Kent and Richard dig into it on your behalf.

Black Widow

After what feels like years of waiting, (oh wait, it was years) Marvel Studios is back on the big screen with BLACK WIDOW. Why did it take so long to make a Black Widow movie? What is next for this character given the fact that we know what we know? We're diving into all things MCU this week for our Movie of the Week + a big hefty batch of Weekly Recommends. Enjoy yourselves.

Disney-Pixar are at it again with another animated movie to make us emotional wrecks. But does this one fall more on the CARS/NEMO side than the UP/SOUL side? We're discussing all things LUCA this week, plus some Weekly Recommends!

We've talked about 1979's ALIEN. Then James Cameron added an 'S' and changed everything. We've got 35 years of ALIENS to discuss in a special Throwback edition of MAM. Is it better than ALIEN?

Throwback! Hook (30th Anniversary)

Your MAM hosts are of the prime age to have enjoyed Steven Speilberg's HOOK in all its original 1991 glory. But how has it held up after 3 decades? And what's the deal with the youths of today not giving a rip about it? We're throwing it back to all things HOOK in our weekly exclusive VIP Throwback!
