Friday, August 30, 2024 • Duration 47:45

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, the HO team is on sabbatical, so Aaron takes the mic solo to discuss crazy movie and TV news like Ted Lasso and Yellowstone continuing on, Megalopolis has a huge trailer controversy, and Jurassic World: Rebirth finally has a plot description.

Then, it's time to discuss several late Summer entries: Strange Darling, Alien: Romulus, The Crow (and original director Alex Proyas' trashing of it), Only Murders in the Building Season 4, and Netflix's Wyatt Earp and the Cowboy War. Listen to our Tombstone episode of Inspired By A True Story here!

When To End A Franchise, What It Means To Be A Film Critic, 80s Family Movie Battle Royale

Wednesday, August 21, 2024 • Duration 02:05:42

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we have three distinct topics to dive into as we revisit fun or interesting topics from the past: When To End A Franchise, What It Means To Be A Film Critic, and our 80s Family Movie Battle Royale.

First, we take a look at more of these tired franchises that keep popping back up. Sure, Saw X was well-received while Expendables 4 wasn't, but did we even need to get to this point? When IS a good time to end a franchise? Also, are we – the fans – truly the problem?

Next, there has much ado lately about film critics: how genuine are the reviews, should outside influences interfere with a review, how much studios interfere, etc. Well, this week, due to a recent onslaught of activity over an Amber Heard review for In the Fire, we are taking this topic head-on.

Finally, we're determining which '80s family movie is the best, why we love them, and defending them with our last dying breath. Okay, maybe not that serious, but we are taking them into battle. Joined by our special Patreon guest who bought her way onto the show (yes, that is indeed a perk), Kristina Flores, the four of us each have two movies we bring to the ring and knock 'em down until we land on just one. Titles like Back to the Future, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Goonies, and E.T. – you don't want to miss out on who takes home the title AND which one landed in the listener top 10 but just wasn't good enough for us.

- (0:00 – 29:17) When To End A Franchise
- (29:18 – 1:11:50) What It Means To Be A Film Critic

Nitpicks and Cliches in Film or TV, Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Hit Man, Bad Behavior

Wednesday, June 12, 2024 • Duration 01:32:51

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we decided to dive into those little annoyances that take us out of a movie or TV series. Things like an open flame in space, or horror movies where no one does the most logical thing, or romances that are spawned from affairs. What are your most annoying nitpicks or cliches?

Furthermore, we discuss big entertainment news like Man on Fire getting the TV treatment, Practical Magic gets a sequel with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman both returning, and reviews of Bad Behavior, Bad Boys: Ride or Die and Hit Man.

House of the Dragon Season 1 Spoilercast

Tuesday, October 25, 2022 • Duration 01:35:35

As Game of Thrones show runners breathe fire into their first spin-off in House of the Dragon, we're here to discuss all of the comings and goings in the realm during this first season. On this special episode, we take the major happenings over the 20 year period from the show, and discuss what we loved or loathed about our favorite heroes and villains in the Seven Kingdoms.

Unlike many podcasts, we will not be breaking things down chronologically. Instead, we take on each primary character and the main plot points as the war for the Iron Throne reigns on.

Targaryens, Valeryons, and Hightowers - oh my! The gang is all here, and we're ready to tackle this season in the most cutthroat way possible. Take a listen to our House of the Dragon Reactions Podcast!

Discussed on this episode

Expectations vs reality, how House of the Dragon compares to Game of Thrones
This season, we go through a series of time jumps. What did you think of this progressive shift in not just story but also actors being recast?
More than anything, House of the Dragon is a show about multi-generational trauma and dismantling the patriarchy. Are these concepts becoming exhausting for you personally, or are you still satisfied?
Each character's overall arc recapped and discussed
Best and least favorite moments and characters
Wants, needs, and predictions for House of the Dragon season 2

Black Adam Spoiler Review and The Flash Trailer

Tuesday, October 25, 2022 • Duration 45:07

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider, it's time to smell what The Rock is cooking up in the DCEU as Black Adam finally hit theaters, and critics and audiences are split down the middle on The Rock's interpretation of the fabled DC Universe villain. We discuss every aspect of the film, including that magnificent cameo.

Also, Zack Parkerson of The Gaming Outsider stops by to discuss The Flash trailer, as he was part of a focus group on the trailer and has enormous insight into what we might see in DC's next franchise wannabe starter starring Ezra Miller.

The Perfect Antihero and Halloween Ends

Wednesday, October 19, 2022 • Duration 01:43:54

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we're talking about the perfect antihero, what makes one our favorite, and whether we have too many or too little of these characters in entertainment. Antiheroes seem to be the fan-favorites, so what is it about them that we love or connect to so much?

Also this week, we discuss Harrison Ford's entrance into the MCU, Amazon bringing NFL to their streaming platform and their Lord of the Rings hit, and good ole' Martin Scorsese complains again. And if you've seen Halloween Ends, Aaron and Amanda share their SPOILER thoughts on the trilogy's conclusion.
