Ep 43 - The Never Ending Story 2 - The Next Chapter (1990)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The story continues… but does the magic? In this episode of R Rating, we dive into The NeverEnding Story II: The Next Chapter, the sequel that brings us back to Fantasia—but with a very different feel from the original classic.

Bastian returns to the world of Fantasia, once again tasked with saving it from destruction—this time from a new threat known as “The Empty.” As the stakes rise, the film explores themes of confidence, identity, and the power of wishes—but does it capture the same emotional impact and wonder as the first film?

In this review, we break down what changed, what works, and where the sequel struggles compared to the beloved original.

Ep 41 - Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 06 Apr 2026 21:06:58 +0000

Dinosaurs are back… and this time, it’s a whole new era. In this episode of R Rating, we react to the official trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth and break down everything from the new cast and story direction to the insane action and terrifying new dinosaurs.

Set after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, this film takes the franchise in a bold new direction, introducing a fresh group of characters on a dangerous mission to extract dinosaur DNA that could change humanity forever. () But as the trailer shows, things go VERY wrong—leading to intense survival horror vibes, massive set pieces, and some seriously wild new creatures.

Is this the return to form fans have been waiting for? Or just more chaos in the Jurassic franchise?

Ep 40 - 28 Years Later (2025)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The rage virus returns… decades later. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into 28 Years Later, the long-awaited continuation of the groundbreaking infection saga that began with 28 Days Later. With the world changed forever, what does survival even look like nearly three decades after the outbreak?

In this video, we break down everything we know so far—from early details and expectations to how this film could evolve the franchise. Will it return to the raw, grounded horror of the original, or lean into the large-scale chaos introduced in 28 Weeks Later?

With the creative team returning and the story moving forward in a massive way, 28 Years Later has the potential to redefine the modern horror landscape all over again.

Ep 39 - Predator - Killer of Killers (2025)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The ultimate hunter faces the ultimate challenge. In this episode of R Rating, we dive into Predator: Killer of Killers, a brutal and action-packed entry in the Predator franchise that pushes the iconic alien hunter to new limits.

Known for taking on the deadliest warriors across galaxies, the Predator now faces opponents unlike ever before—killers who are just as ruthless, strategic, and dangerous. But when the hunter becomes the hunted, who truly sits at the top of the food chain?

In this review, we break down the action, story, lore, and how this film expands the Predator universe. Does it capture the intensity and suspense of the original, or does it rely too heavily on franchise nostalgia?

Ep 38 - 28 Weeks Later (2007)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The infection didn’t end… it evolved. In this episode of R Rating, we take a deep dive into 28 Weeks Later, the intense and brutal follow-up to 28 Days Later that raises the stakes and expands the scope of the outbreak.

Set months after the initial rage virus devastated the UK, 28 Weeks Later explores the attempted rebuilding of society under military control—until everything goes horribly wrong. What starts as hope quickly turns back into chaos, delivering one of the most shocking and relentless openings in horror movie history.

With bigger action, a wider scale, and a darker tone, this sequel shifts from intimate survival horror to full-blown apocalyptic disaster. But does it live up to the original, or does it lose what made 28 Days Later so special?

Ep 37 - 28 Day Later (2002)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

What if the end of the world didn’t come from the dead… but from the infected? In this episode of R Rating, we break down 28 Days Later, the groundbreaking horror film that redefined the zombie genre and introduced a faster, more terrifying kind of outbreak.

Directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland, 28 Days Later follows a man who wakes up from a coma to find London completely deserted—only to discover that a deadly virus has turned society into chaos. What unfolds is a tense, emotional, and brutally realistic survival story that changed horror movies forever.

With its gritty digital cinematography, haunting atmosphere, and relentless pacing, this film helped revive the zombie genre for a modern audience and paved the way for countless infection-based horror stories that followed.

Ep 36 - Home Alone 3-6

Dan Tyler — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 13:52:58 +0000

What happened to Home Alone after the iconic первых two movies? In this episode of R Rating, we dive into the forgotten (and controversial) sequels — Home Alone 3, Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House, Home Alone: The Holiday Heist, and Home Sweet Home Alone — to find out where things went wrong… or if there are any hidden gems worth watching.

From the absence of Kevin McCallister to made-for-TV chaos and modern Disney reboots, the Home Alone franchise took some wild turns over the years. We break down each sequel, compare them to the originals, and discuss whether any of these films capture the magic, humor, and heart that made the first two movies timeless Christmas classics.

Ep 35 - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (1966)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Is The Good, the Bad and the Ugly really the greatest Western ever made? In this video, I take a deep dive into this legendary classic and break down what makes it one of the most iconic films of all time.

Directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood, this spaghetti western redefined the genre with its unforgettable characters, epic storytelling, and one of the most famous film scores ever created. But does it still hold up today for modern audiences?

If you’re a fan of movie reviews, classic films, Westerns, and cinematic history, this is a must-watch.

Ep 34 - For Few Dollars More (1965)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 20 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

The Man with No Name rides again! In this episode of R Rating, we dive into For a Few Dollars More, the explosive follow-up to A Fistful of Dollars that expands the world, raises the stakes, and delivers one of the greatest western showdowns of all time.

Directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood alongside Lee Van Cleef, this sequel follows two rival bounty hunters who reluctantly team up to track down a ruthless outlaw. What unfolds is a gripping story of revenge, greed, and justice set against Leone’s signature stylized direction and tension-filled pacing.

With unforgettable duels, a deeper emotional core, and an iconic musical score by Ennio Morricone, For a Few Dollars More is widely considered one of the greatest Spaghetti Westerns ever made—and a major step up from its predecessor.

Ep33 - A Fistful of Dollars (1964)

Dan Tyler — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Step into the dusty streets of the Wild West as we revisit A Fistful of Dollars, the film that helped redefine the western genre and launched the legendary “Man with No Name.” In this episode of R Rating, we break down what makes this classic so iconic, from its gritty tone and unforgettable characters to its influence on modern cinema.

Directed by Sergio Leone and starring Clint Eastwood, A Fistful of Dollars tells the story of a mysterious gunslinger who plays two rival families against each other in a small border town. With minimal dialogue, intense standoffs, and a focus on style and atmosphere, this film introduced audiences to the Spaghetti Western and changed the game forever.

Ep32 - Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Dinosaurs now live among us! In this episode of R Rating, we take a deep dive into Jurassic World Dominion, the epic conclusion to the Jurassic saga. In this review, we break down the story, action, returning legacy characters, and whether this massive blockbuster truly delivers the finale that fans of the franchise have been waiting for.

Jurassic World Dominion brings together the stars of the modern trilogy alongside the original heroes from the 1993 classic. With dinosaurs roaming the globe and humanity forced to coexist with prehistoric predators, the film raises the stakes for the entire franchise. But does it capture the magic, suspense, and wonder that made the original film legendary?

In this review we discuss the biggest moments, standout performances, the action sequences, the visual effects, and whether the film succeeds as the grand finale of the Jurassic era.

Ep31 - Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom takes the franchise in a darker direction, turning the dinosaur spectacle into something closer to a gothic monster movie. With Isla Nublar collapsing and dinosaurs facing extinction once again, the film raises bigger questions about science, ethics, and the consequences of bringing prehistoric creatures back to life.

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom with an honest look at its tonal shift, action sequences, and controversial story decisions. We’ll talk about Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard returning as Owen and Claire, the volcanic destruction of Isla Nublar, the introduction of the Indoraptor, and how the film sets up a completely new direction for the franchise.

Is Fallen Kingdom an underrated experiment that tries something different—or the moment the Jurassic series goes completely off the rails?

If you’re a fan of Jurassic Park movies, dinosaur action films, or honest movie reviews that dig into blockbuster storytelling, this one’s for you.

Ep30 - Jurassic World (2015)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

More than 20 years after Jurassic Park, the franchise roared back to life with Jurassic World. A fully operational dinosaur theme park finally becomes reality—but as history has proven, playing with prehistoric predators never goes according to plan.

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Jurassic World with an honest look at its spectacle, nostalgia callbacks, new characters, and the introduction of the terrifying Indominus Rex. We’ll talk about Chris Pratt’s role as Owen Grady, the film’s commentary on modern blockbuster culture, the mix of practical effects and CGI, and whether Jurassic World successfully revived the franchise—or relied too heavily on nostalgia.

Does Jurassic World capture the magic and wonder of the original Jurassic Park, or is it simply a bigger, louder reboot for a new generation?

If you’re a fan of Jurassic Park movies, dinosaur action films, or honest movie reviews that dig into blockbuster filmmaking, this one’s for you.

Ep29 - Venom The Last Dance (2024)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Venom: The Last Dance brings Eddie Brock and his chaotic symbiote partner back for what promises to be the final chapter of Sony’s Venom trilogy. With bigger stakes, more symbiote madness, and the looming question of how this story ends, does the trilogy stick the landing?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Venom: The Last Dance with an honest look at Tom Hardy’s performance, the evolution of the Eddie Brock–Venom relationship, the action, the humor, and how this film attempts to wrap up the trilogy. We’ll talk about the film’s place in Sony’s Spider-Man Universe, whether the story delivers a satisfying finale, and if the franchise ultimately fulfilled its potential.

Is Venom: The Last Dance the send-off fans wanted—or another messy entry in Sony’s expanding Marvel universe?

If you’re a fan of Venom, Marvel movies, Spider-Man villains, or comic book movie reviews that don’t pull punches, this one’s for you.

Ep28 - Venom Let there be Carnage (2021)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Venom: Let There Be Carnage doubles down on the chaos, leaning harder into the odd-couple comedy between Eddie Brock and his symbiote—while introducing one of Spider-Man’s most violent villains. But does Carnage live up to the hype?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Venom: Let There Be Carnage with an honest look at Tom Hardy’s unhinged performance, Woody Harrelson’s take on Cletus Kasady, the film’s shorter runtime, action sequences, and the ongoing debate about the PG-13 rating. We’ll talk about whether the sequel improves on the original, wastes its villain, or simply embraces its own ridiculous energy.

Is Let There Be Carnage a fun comic book sequel—or another missed opportunity for something darker and more intense?

If you’re a fan of Marvel movies, Spider-Man villains, or brutally honest comic book movie reviews, this one’s for you.

Ep27 - Venom (2018)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Sony’s Venom brought one of Marvel’s most popular anti-heroes to the big screen—without Spider-Man. Dark, chaotic, and surprisingly comedic, the film leans heavily on Tom Hardy’s wild performance. But does Venom work as a standalone comic book movie?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Venom (2018) with an honest look at its tone, action, CGI, and the strange buddy-comedy dynamic between Eddie Brock and the symbiote. We’ll talk about the PG-13 rating debate, how the film compares to comic book lore, the villain problem, and whether Venom is dumb fun or just plain messy.

Is Venom an underrated comic book movie… or a missed opportunity for something darker and more brutal?

If you’re a fan of Marvel movies, Spider-Man villains, or comic book film breakdowns that don’t pull punches, this one’s for you.

Ep26 - Anchorman 2 The Legend Continues (2013)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Nearly a decade after the original, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues brought Ron Burgundy and the Channel 4 News Team back for an even bigger, louder, and more chaotic sequel. But does more absurdity equal more laughs?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Anchorman 2 with an honest look at Will Ferrell’s return as Ron Burgundy, the escalation of the news satire, the over-the-top cameos, and whether the sequel understands what made the first film work. We’ll talk about Adam McKay’s direction, the commentary on 24-hour news culture, the expanded fight scene insanity, and whether this follow-up builds on the original—or stretches the joke too thin.

Is Anchorman 2 an underrated comedy sequel… or proof that lightning doesn’t strike twice?

If you’re a fan of Will Ferrell comedies, 2000s and 2010s humor, or movie reviews that revisit sequels with fresh eyes, this one’s for you.

Ep25 - Anchorman (2004)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy is one of the most quotable comedies of the 2000s, launching endless memes, iconic one-liners, and the legend of Ron Burgundy himself. But beyond the absurdity and improv chaos… does it still hold up?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Anchorman with an honest look at Will Ferrell’s performance, Adam McKay’s loose, improvisational style, the stacked supporting cast, and how the film balances ridiculous humor with sharp satire about media and masculinity. We’ll talk about the news team dynamic, the absurd fight scene, Christina Applegate’s role, and whether the comedy lands as hard today as it did in 2004.

Is Anchorman a modern comedy classic—or a product of its time?

If you’re a fan of 2000s comedies, Will Ferrell movies, or movie reviews that dig into why a comedy works (or doesn’t), this one’s for you.

Ep24 - Jurassic Park 3 (2001)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 12:59:00 +0000

Jurassic Park III ditches the epic scope and philosophical weight of the first two films for a lean, fast-paced survival thriller. No theme park. No corporate conspiracy. Just humans stuck on an island with dinosaurs again. But does stripping it down make it better—or expose how thin the formula really is?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Jurassic Park III with an honest look at its shorter runtime, relentless pacing, the introduction of the Spinosaurus, and Sam Neill’s return as Dr. Alan Grant. We’ll talk about the tonal shift, practical effects vs CGI, the infamous “talking raptor” moment, and whether this sequel deserves its mixed reputation.

Is Jurassic Park III an underrated creature feature… or the moment the franchise officially ran out of ideas?

If you’re a fan of Jurassic Park movies, early 2000s blockbusters, or movie reviews that separate nostalgia from reality, this one’s for you.

Dan Tyler — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Steven Spielberg returned to Isla Sorna with The Lost World: Jurassic Park, a darker, meaner sequel that trades wonder for chaos. Bigger dinosaurs, bigger set pieces, and a much grimmer tone—but does it capture the magic of the original Jurassic Park?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down The Lost World with an honest look at its story, characters, pacing, and unforgettable action sequences. We’ll talk about Jeff Goldblum stepping into the lead role, Spielberg’s shift toward survival horror, the controversial third act in San Diego, and whether this sequel expands the franchise—or exposes its limits.

Is The Lost World an underrated follow-up with bold ideas… or the moment the Jurassic series lost its balance?

Ep22 - Jurassic Park (1993)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park remains one of the most influential blockbusters ever made, blending groundbreaking visual effects with suspense, wonder, and unforgettable moments. Decades later, the question isn’t just how it looks—but why it still works.

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Jurassic Park (1993) with an honest look at its storytelling, pacing, practical effects, and use of CGI that still puts modern films to shame. We’ll talk about Spielberg’s direction, John Williams’ iconic score, the film’s themes of control versus chaos, and how Jurassic Park balances awe and terror better than almost any blockbuster.

Is Jurassic Park the perfect summer movie? And why has no sequel ever truly matched its magic?

If you’re a fan of classic movies, sci-fi adventure, or thoughtful movie reviews that go deeper than nostalgia, this one’s for you.

Ep21 - Mad Max Furiosa (2024)

Dan Tyler — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 13:00:00 +0000

George Miller returns to the wasteland with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, a brutal, kinetic prequel that tells the origin of one of modern cinema’s most iconic characters. Trading Max for Furiosa, this film dives deep into survival, power, and vengeance—but does it live up to the insanity of Mad Max: Fury Road?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Furiosa with an honest look at its storytelling, action design, world-building, and performances. We’ll talk about Anya Taylor-Joy stepping into the role of Furiosa, Chris Hemsworth’s villainous turn, George Miller’s visual language, and how this film expands the Mad Max universe while standing on its own.

Is Furiosa a worthy companion piece to Fury Road—or an unnecessary deep dive into backstory? Let’s talk about it.

If you’re a fan of Mad Max movies, post-apocalyptic action, or director-driven blockbuster filmmaking, this one’s for you.

Ep20 - Gremlins 1 & 2

Dan Tyler — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Gremlins and Gremlins 2: The New Batch are two wildly different takes on the same idea—one a dark Christmas horror-comedy, the other a full-blown cartoon satire. Together, they form one of the strangest and most fascinating duologies in movie history.

In this R Rating movie review, I break down Gremlins (1984) and Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990), comparing tone, humor, chaos, and intent. We’ll talk about Joe Dante’s direction, the blend of horror and comedy, practical creature effects, studio satire, and how Gremlins 2 deliberately dismantles everything the first film built.

Is Gremlins still a perfect subversive Christmas classic? And is Gremlins 2 a misunderstood masterpiece—or complete insanity?

If you’re a fan of 80s movies, horror comedies, or movie reviews that celebrate weird, ambitious filmmaking, this one’s for you.

Ep19 - Home Alone 1 & 2

Dan Tyler — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York are Christmas classics that defined a generation. From Kevin McCallister’s legendary traps to the Wet Bandits’ cartoon-level pain, these films became holiday staples—but do they still hold up as movies, not just nostalgia?

In this R Rating movie review, I break down both Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2 (1992), comparing their stories, comedy, emotional beats, and escalating chaos. We’ll talk about Macaulay Culkin’s iconic performance, John Hughes’ heartfelt storytelling, the evolution of the traps, and whether the sequel improves on the original or simply repeats it on a bigger scale.

Is Home Alone still the ultimate Christmas movie? And does Home Alone 2 justify its existence—or is it just a remix with a bigger budget?

If you love Christmas movies, 90s films, or honest movie reviews that separate nostalgia from quality, this one’s for you.

Dan Tyler — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 13:00:00 +0000

The Alien franchise returns with Alien: Romulus, a film that blends old-school sci-fi horror with modern survival thrills. But does it truly recapture the terror and atmosphere that made Alien and Aliens legendary—or is it just another legacy sequel riding nostalgia?

In this R Rating podcast, we dive deep into Alien: Romulus, breaking down its story, characters, horror elements, visual style, and connection to the larger Alien universe. We discuss whether the film successfully balances horror and action, how it compares to previous entries in the franchise, and what it means for the future of Alien.

From practical effects and creature design to thematic callbacks and fresh ideas, this episode explores everything that makes Alien: Romulus one of the most talked-about sci-fi horror films in recent years.

If you’re a fan of Alien movies, sci-fi horror, movie podcasts, or in-depth film discussions, this episode is for you.

Ep17 - Alien Covenant (2017)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we descend into the nightmare of Ridley Scott’s Alien: Covenant (2017) — a brutal, unsettling sequel that bridges Prometheus and the original Alien, while pushing the franchise into darker philosophical territory.

We break down the film’s savage return to horror, the evolution of David as one of the most disturbing androids in sci-fi history, and how Covenant doubles down on themes of creation, control, and extinction. Is this the missing link the Alien saga needed, or a step too far away from what made the franchise iconic?

From the terrifying Neomorphs to the controversial lore decisions, we unpack what Alien: Covenant gets right, what divided fans, and how it reframes the entire Alien timeline.

Dan Tyler — Mon, 19 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we dive headfirst into Ridley Scott’s Prometheus (2012) — the bold, divisive prequel to the Alien franchise that asks some massive questions about creation, humanity, and our place in the universe.

We break down the film’s themes, the mysterious Engineers, Michael Fassbender’s unforgettable performance as David, and why Prometheus continues to spark heated debates among sci-fi and horror fans years later. Is it an underrated sci-fi masterpiece, or a frustrating misfire that asks better questions than it answers?

From jaw-dropping visuals to baffling character decisions, we explore what Prometheus gets right, where it stumbles, and how it reshaped the future of the Alien universe.

Dan Tyler — Mon, 08 Dec 2025 13:00:00 +0000

In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into Alien Resurrection — the fourth film in the legendary Alien franchise, and easily the weirdest, wildest, and most divisive entry of them all.

We break down everything from Ripley’s controversial clone storyline, to the bio-engineered Xenomorphs, to the film’s tonal shift under director Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Whether you love this movie, hate it, or just enjoy watching the franchise get progressively weirder, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes details, story analysis, and all the chaotic sci-fi energy Alien Resurrection is known for.

Ep14 - Alien 3 (1992)

Dan Tyler — Fri, 07 Nov 2025 13:04:00 +0000

In this episode of R Rating, we’re descending into the dark, grim world of Alien³ (1992), the most divisive and misunderstood entry in the Alien franchise. Directed by a young David Fincher in his feature debut, Alien 3 took bold risks that split fans and critics alike — and we’re here to unpack every one of them.

We’ll explore how Alien³ followed up the action-packed Aliens with a return to bleak horror and isolation, what went wrong behind the scenes, and how Fincher’s vision was reshaped by studio interference. From Sigourney Weaver’s raw performance as Ripley to the haunting prison planet setting and nihilistic tone, we dig deep into why this film deserves a second look.

Is Alien³ an underrated masterpiece, or a frustrating misfire? Let’s find out.

Join R Rating for a deep dive into one of the most fascinatingly flawed films in sci-fi horror history — and why it’s more important to the franchise than most fans realize.

Ep13 - Aliens (1986)

Dan Tyler — Wed, 05 Nov 2025 13:00:00 +0000

In this episode of R Rating, we dive into James Cameron’s legendary sci-fi action horror sequel — Aliens (1986).

Ep11 - Evil Dead Rise (2023)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 12:00:00 +0000

In this episode of R Rating, we dive into the blood-soaked madness of Evil Dead Rise (2023) — the latest entry in Sam Raimi’s iconic horror franchise. Directed by Lee Cronin, this brutal, claustrophobic take on the Evil Dead mythos trades the cabin for a Los Angeles high-rise but keeps all the gore, chaos, and demonic terror fans expect.

We talk about Alyssa Sutherland’s terrifying performance as a possessed mother, the film’s shocking practical effects, and how it stacks up against the classics — Evil Dead, Evil Dead II, Army of Darkness, and the 2013 remake. Expect plenty of laughs, deep horror analysis, and unfiltered opinions as we discuss one of the most talked-about horror films of the year.

Whether you’re a lifelong horror fan or just love a good scare, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.

Dan Tyler — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 13:00:00 +0000

Grab your boomstick — it’s time to talk Army of Darkness! In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into Sam Raimi’s over-the-top, action-packed horror comedy that turned Ash Williams into a pop culture legend.

We’ll break down the wild tone shift from Evil Dead 2, the genius (and madness) behind Bruce Campbell’s performance, and how Army of Darkness became one of the most quotable cult films of the ’90s. From the practical effects and stop-motion skeletons to Raimi’s signature camera chaos, this movie is pure genre gold — and we’re here to unpack every hilarious, gory, and groovy moment.

Dan Tyler — Fri, 10 Oct 2025 13:00:00 +0000

️ R Rating Podcast – Evil Dead & Evil Dead II Review & Discussion

In this episode of R Rating, we’re heading deep into the woods with Evil Dead (1981) and Evil Dead II (1987) — two cult horror classics that redefined the genre and launched the legendary career of Bruce Campbell and director Sam Raimi. What started as a low-budget cabin-in-the-woods nightmare became one of the most iconic horror franchises of all time, filled with gore, slapstick insanity, and unforgettable one-liners.

We’ll break down how Evil Dead turned simple scares into raw terror through practical effects and atmosphere — and how Evil Dead II flipped the formula with over-the-top comedy, insane camera work, and Raimi’s signature chaotic energy. Is Evil Dead II a remake, a sequel, or something in between? And how do these two movies hold up today compared to modern horror?

If you love practical effects, cult horror, and ‘80s filmmaking, this episode is a must-listen. Expect a full discussion on Ash Williams’ evolution, the Necronomicon, and the creative genius that made Sam Raimi a household name — plus our honest verdict on which Evil Dead reigns supreme.

Ep7 - Prey (2022)

Dan Tyler — Tue, 07 Oct 2025 13:47:16 +0000

In this episode of R Rating, we’re heading back to the hunt with Prey (2022) — the gripping prequel that redefines the Predator franchise. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg and starring Amber Midthunder as the fierce Comanche warrior Naru, Prey strips the series back to its primal roots, delivering raw survival, intense atmosphere, and some of the best creature tension we’ve seen in years.

We’ll break down the story, characters, cinematography, and the evolution of the Predator itself. How does Prey compare to the 1987 original classic? Does this minimalist, historical setting make the Predator more terrifying than ever? And where does Prey rank among the rest of the franchise?

If you’re a fan of sci-fi, action, or monster movies, this episode is a must-listen. Expect deep analysis of Prey’s direction, visual storytelling, and themes of survival and honor — plus our honest verdict on whether this entry is the franchise’s true return to form.

Dan Tyler — Wed, 01 Oct 2025 12:01:00 +0000

In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving deep into Predator 2 (1990), the explosive sci-fi action sequel that brought the deadly Predator out of the jungle and into the streets of Los Angeles.

Ep3 - Predator (1987)

Dan Tyler — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 14:12:18 +0000

In this episode of R Rating, we go back to the film that started it all: Predator (1987). Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger as Dutch, this sci-fi action classic pits an elite military team against one of cinema’s most iconic alien hunters deep in the jungles of Central America. With its blend of relentless action, suspense, and horror, Predator redefined the genre and gave us one of the most legendary movie monsters of all time.

We’ll break down the story, characters, action sequences, creature effects, and cultural impact of Predator. Is it still the best in the franchise? Does it hold up nearly four decades later? And why has this movie stood the test of time as both an action classic and a sci-fi horror masterpiece?

If you’re a fan of 80s action movies, sci-fi thrillers, monster films, or just love Arnold Schwarzenegger in his prime, this episode is a must-listen. Expect honest insights, fun discussion, and our final verdict on whether Predator (1987) still reigns supreme.

Ep2 - Highlander Franchise

Dan Tyler — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 13:30:42 +0000

In this episode of R Rating, we’re tackling the Highlander franchise — a cult saga that spans movies, TV shows, and even spin-offs. Starting with Highlander (1986), starring Christopher Lambert, Clancy Brown, and the legendary Sean Connery, the franchise gave us the immortal Connor MacLeod and the unforgettable line: “There can be only one.” From there, the series grew into a mix of sequels, a long-running TV show, and a fandom that refuses to let it die.

We’ll break down the original film, Highlander II, Highlander III, Endgame, The Source, and the Highlander TV series, looking at what worked, what didn’t, and why the franchise still has such a dedicated following despite its ups and downs. Is Highlander a cult classic that deserves more recognition, or a series that lost its way after the first film?

If you’re a fan of fantasy, action-adventure, sword fights, immortals, and cult 80s/90s franchises, this is the deep dive for you. Expect honest takes, nostalgia, and plenty of love for the franchise that gave us immortals battling across centuries.

Ep1 - Mad Max Franchise

Dan Tyler — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 23:42:53 +0000

In this episode of R Rating, we’re diving into the Mad Max franchise — one of the most influential post-apocalyptic sagas in movie history. Starting with Mad Max (1979), directed by George Miller and starring a young Mel Gibson, the series exploded into a violent, stylish vision of a collapsing world where survival is everything. From the gritty revenge tale of the first film, to the explosive action of The Road Warrior (1981), the eccentric spectacle of Beyond Thunderdome (1985), and the modern masterpiece Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), we’ll cover it all.

We’ll break down the themes, action sequences, characters, world-building, and legacy of the franchise, looking at how George Miller shaped the entire post-apocalyptic action genre. Which film still stands tall as the best? How did Fury Road bring new life to the series after decades? And why does Mad Max remain one of cinema’s most unique and enduring franchises?

If you’re a fan of action movies, dystopian worlds, car chases, practical effects, and cinematic chaos, this episode is a must-listen. Expect high-octane discussion, sharp insights, and our unfiltered verdicts on every chapter of the saga.
