Cinema Psychos Movie Reviews

This week, we are taking a deep dive into the life and times of one of America's greatest toy salesmen....I mean filmmaker...maybe. We are of course talking about the scion that brought us lightsabers and The Force and may have destroyed Hayden Christiansen's career: George Lucas. A complicated filmmaker who has helped filmmaking through advancements in technology and contributed immensely to our collective pop culture; but has also contributed to the commercial nature of film and the rise of the mega franchise.

This week, we are breaking down our top 5 picks for best comic book movie adaptations! Note that we are not saying SUPERHERO Films, although that may come up. We are looking more closely at movies that derive their source material from the comic book world. We try to tackle the biggest question of them all when dealing with these films, "how close do filmmakers have to stick to the source material."

This week, John and Laine jump off the red carpet to break down the best and worst moments from this year's Academy Awards. Why no Brian? Well, his deep seated hatred for a rigged system of ranking art in an effort to gin up the marketing of a select few films might take away from the analysis of the glitz, glamor, and pageantry. Plus John and Laine really just like the Oscars more than Brian. Either way, sit back and relax as John and Laine give you the play by play of The 92nd Academy Awards.

This week, we are taking a look back at the year that was 2019 in film. A year that gave us some major franchise closure moments with the arrival of Avengers: Endgame and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

This was a big year for film, so join us for Part 1 of our look back at 2019! Our co-host, John Wooliscroft, has a brand new film channel on youtube.

This week, we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of Tim Burton's Batman. A film that had a very real and long lasting impact on both John and Brian as filmmakers. So we will be relishing this review as we break down what works and what doesn't in a film that at the time was controversial. The casting of a "comedian" in Michael Keaton in the titular role of a brooding and dark Bruce Wayne/Batman was met by fan boy fury and even death threats. Couple with the choice for Director in Tim Burton, at the time known for zany and dark films like Beetlejuice and Pee Wee's Big Adventure, and the result is a stylistic film that ushered in the golden age of superhero films and led to the tidal wave of the Marvel MCU.

This week we are back with a two part review and interview of the new indie drama, Luke & Jo. The film explores the existential crisis that occurs when two struggling creative people, seemingly made for each other, meet at the wrong times in their lives and are fundamentally changed. Directed by Joshua Overbay and starring Andie Morgenlander and Erik Odom, the film features haunting cinematography with stand out performances and an unexpected ending that runs counter to films in this genre.

This week we are digging for buried treasure in our cat liter box and taking a look at the dried up turd that was 2004's Catwoman. A movie that is a far cry from the massive world building superhero behemoths that we have today. Just one year before Batman Begins, Catwoman unleashed a hailstorm of terrible acting, terrible CGI, terrible story, and an example of one of the worst edited films ever made. So join us as we break down the "cat-astrophy" known as Catwoman. Use the coupon code "psychosnation" and save 25% on our TeePublic Store!

Happy Mother's Day folks! This week we are heading to sunday brunch with one of Hollywood's most notorious actresses and mothers; Joan Crawford. A woman who optimized Hollwood royalty during the golden age of cinema with such films as Mildred Pierce and Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. But behind the glitz and glamor were allegations of child abuse from her adopted daughter, Christina. And thus leads us to this week's film, Mommie Dearest. A movie that some may view as exploitative and others as a document of one woman's childhood hell. Use the coupon code "psychosnation" and save 25% on our TeePublic Store!

Got a movie you want us to review or feedback on the show? Contact us [email protected] SPOILER ALERT! What do you get when you combine the culmination of 19 years of hype from a director who still believes that he is the second coming of Hitchcock with a story that ultimately wastes the talent of it's cast and the time of it's audience? You get the M.Night Shyamalan opus, "Glass." A movie that showed a lot of promise coming off the heels of the surprisingly good "Split" and finishing the deconstructed superhero trilogy started in 2000 with "Unbreakable".
