We've Got Mail #179 | Can the Halloween Franchise Be Saved?
04/18/2025

Is it better for a filmmaker to make a million movies or just a handful of great ones? Whatever happens to festival movies that don't get distribution? Is JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS is officially a classic yet? And how we can possibly fix the HALLOWEEN the franchise?

The Iron List #63 | The Best Knockoff Movies Ever!
03/27/2025

Because our patrons demanded it, Bibbs and Witney present their picks for the best films that flagrantly knocked off a pre-existing work!


You can probably think of plenty of so-called "mockbusters" but movie history is littered with great films, many of them classics in their own right, that wouldn't have been made - at least at the same time, in the same way - if it weren't for the success or notoriety of another release.


UPDATE: There were some phantom sound effects in the last few minutes of the...

03/24/2025

Also on WE'VE GOT MAIL, Bibbs and Witney talk about movies famous for one shot or cinematic technique, why they've been too hard on Bones in the original STAR TREK, who should direct and star in one of the most exciting sci-fi movie ideas of all time, the difference (if there is one) between fiction and fan fiction, great Jesus and stoner movies, and a controversial element of CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD they forgot to mention in their review!

02/17/2025

The dubba-dubba-WB won a bidding war for a cartoon sitcom about a mutated family who live in the landfill of an affluent suburb. Then they canceled it after only eight episodes!


Will Ferrell and Jean Smart co-star in THE OBLONGS, a relic of early 2000s boundary-pushing comedies that didn't always age well. Was this the big exception?
