Hack The Movies

I found another lost episode featuring Pedro! This is our missing Meteor Man review from all the way back in 2022! Meteor Man tried to do a lot and featured a bunch of talented Black actors and musicians. For whatever reason it didn't stick the landing back in the day but looking back it was actually ahead of its time. Watch and find out why!

Adam from  @AdamDoesMovies  joins me to talk about the late Chuck Russell's Eraser starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. It is sometimes a dark tense thriller full of mystery and betrayal and sometimes it's a wacky action movie with xray guns that shoot CGI rods. It is also considered the end of the Arnold's golden era and his last good movie in the '90s.

Doug from GoodTimesGreatMovies returns to the show for BOYS MONTH and to also talk about Commando! It has guns, explosions, and constant quips. It is probably the most "Arnold" of all his films!

I am kicking off Boys' Month 4 with me and Joey C talking about Joy Ride while on a Joy Ride! We set up a camera in our car on our way back from Rochester and talked about a cool thriller from 2001 that stars the late Paul Walker and Steve Zahn and co-written by J.J. Abrams!

Johanna and Ian S. stop by the store to review Seed of Chucky (2004) - the wildest, weirdest, and most divisive movie in the Child's Play franchise! We discuss whether this horror-comedy is actually underrated, a perfect Pride Month watch thanks to its bold themes, or the movie that started the franchise's downward spiral.

Dragonheart (1996) was one of the first films to feature a fully CGI character acting alongside real humans. Voiced by Sean Connery and brought to life by ILM, Draco was a groundbreaking creation. Yet despite this technical achievement and four sequels, the movie is rarely discussed today. Angela joins me to explore what stopped Dragonheart from becoming a true classic 30 years later.
