Missing Real with Mike D'Arrigo
Great movies take their place in history, but what about all the "turkeys" and disastrous flops littering the vast cinematic cesspool? If you really love movies, then what does it matter if a particular film won eight Oscars or eight Razzies? Sometimes over-the-top hammy acting, laughably choreographed fight sequences and rubber monster FX outdo even the most lavish productions in the Academy Awards echelon. So, whether it's an unsurpassed masterpiece or a piece of something else, every movie I talk about in this podcast is near and dear to my heart. Some you will know well, some you'd be well...

These Hobbit adventures were almost as awesome at the previous Lord of the Rings movies, and some of our old familiar characters show up here, but it's all top-notch action and CGI beasts done properly.

Let me guide you (and save you about 8 hours of your time) through all the fun and treasures of the H...
Season 11 Episode 9: Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The title of this classic sci-fi thriller might be a bit misleading. It's not about kidnappers or grave robbers. Get this: strange plants from space land on Earth and begin copy-pasting humans! That means there are two YOUs! Only the original you doesn't get to survive! The duplicate you isn't really "you", it's an alien intelligence with a secret agenda to take over our society. And they get you when you sleep! This is years before Freddy Krueger got everyone downing coffee like their lives depended on it. Sounds terrifying, don't it?
