1:35:28

It's been a long time coming, but another horror franchise was looming large in my to do bin for episode content. I've tackled some of the modern classics, and with The Conjuring franchise in the rearview mirror, it dawns upon me to take on the other Patrick Wilson spooky multi-movie series. So Insidious o'clock, here we are. If you like hauntings …

Thanksgiving...With A Side Of...Murder!!! (Something, Something, Leftovers) 45:58

2y ago45:58

45:58

2023 and the holiday season may be coming to a close, those things are true and time is relative. But before that all takes place, I want to look back at the latest and potentially greatest season horror movie to come out. Thanksgiving is not a very movie-laden holiday outside of Spider-Man, Black Friday, and not this spooky slasher named aptly for…

The DCEU: It Came, It Went, It Flashed Before Our Eyes (How Does The Flash Take Things To The Finish Line?) 51:11

2y ago51:11

51:11

It may not be a stellar entry for the DCEU. But somehow it encapsulate the ups and downs and the best and worst of the not so long-standing franchise. If nothing else, the Flash movie exists. This is a movie that has been long expected and gone through multiple ideas and revisions as the future looked bright-ish for this latest cinematic universe a…

Scream 6, Slicing And Dicing In The Big Apple (What Jason Takes Manhattan Wishes It Was) 52:11

2+ y ago52:11

52:11

The Scream franchise has a special place in my heart. It may not be the scariest franchise out there, in fact, I can almost guarantee it is not, but it does something nothing else has really come close to. It takes a genre in slashers that people love and it plays with that notion of film lovers, it puts them in the movie. It has fun with the trope…

3y ago29:10

29:10

There is a lot of change afoot for DC Comics in regards to their live-action presence. First the DCEU now just the DC Universe. That "The World Needs Heroes" trailer that had one independent project and 3 DCEU projects was quickly short-changed to just the well-received The Batman movie and only this one movie, Black Adam, came out in this year.

Another scary movie, and you know what that means? Yes, I had to talk about it, especially with the Jordan Peele name on it, that is like the seal of approval for the genre these days. And with it comes the movie trip to see the latest of these, Nope, with a few friends on the show as fellow Nopers to give not only their Letterboxd ratings, but als…

1:01:31

Welcome to another episode of Nick Nack Goes To The Movies. With nothing crazy coming out that I was dying to dedicate to a whole episode. I wanted to tackle a longstanding horror franchise that had been on my desk for ages, in the early inception of this podcast.

This episode of Nick Nack Goes to the Movies takes one the newest entries in some late 80's and early 90's classics. The 6th and potentially final movie end-capping the second dynamic dinosaur trilogy, Jurassic World: Dominion, and the sequel that nobody anticipated ever coming, Top Gun: Maverick.

It is time for another magical episode about a film franchise, albeit not as long standing or even particular sturdy one.

Does Morbius Suck Or Is It Flying High? 15:59

3+ y ago15:59

15:59

On the latest episode of this movie review podcast, I am not gonna recommend this one. I like super hero things, and I like horror things. Hypothetically this sounds like it would be a power blend of both genres with the latest Marvel adaptation, Morbius. That being said, this movie was not it. And honestly, kind of what you expected from the trail…

It's time for another super hero movie, and you know I had to get my The Batman fix on ASAP! Is it the best of the caped crusader's live-action representations? If not, it sure has one of the most intriguing casts for one of these with the likes of Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Andy Serkis, and Colin Farrell to name a few. This gri…

It has been a few years in the making, but I am finally making that episode all about the live action Scooby-Doo movies.
