Memoriam Development — Tue, 03 Sep 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Nick had never seen a seemingly classic 1980’s movie in Heathers. The group discuss this strange revenge(?) film full of irredeemable characters. Did they find the movie to be Big Fun?

Memoriam Development — Mon, 13 May 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Do you want a love triangle between Frank-N-Furter, Maverick, and Sloane Peterson that takes place in an enchanted forest full of glitter, ogres, strange clocks and not a lot of character development? Then you want Legend! Nick and Dave once again get to visit Amanda’s childhood in watching Ridley Scott’s 1985 foray into fantasy and pie making. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089469/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3_tt_8_nm_0_q_legend https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1012164-legend

Memoriam Development — Wed, 24 Apr 2024 07:00:00 +0000

Amanda had never watched Robert Zemeckis’ live action-animation hybrid, Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

Throw together Jeff Daniels, Melanie Griffith, Ray Liotta, Jonathan Demme, and the 80’s and you are going to get Something Wild.

Memoriam Development — Wed, 17 Jan 2024 08:00:00 +0000

Films Like The First Time 002- Se7en

Memoriam Development — Wed, 03 Jan 2024 08:00:00 +0000

What’s in the pod!? What’s in the pod!? Somehow, Nick had never watched David Fincher’s very wet 1995 serial killer film, Se7en. This marks the first time we review a film that is in someone’s top five of all time. I’m sure there were no hurt feelings. And I’m sure we all loved Brad Pitt’s acting. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114369/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/seven
