208. The Brady Bunch Movie (1995) | How A Cheesy '70s Sitcom Was Revived In A Postmodern '90s Comedy Without Really Changing Anything | Behind The Scenes Of The Brady Bunch Movie (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We travel back in time to the perfect year, 1995, when nothing at all was bad about the world. And it was in that year that you would have met a family unstuck from time, the Bradys, who are here to make sure you have nothing but sunshine days. You might remember The Brady Bunch Movie as a movie that sticks it to the cheesy old '70s sitcom, that injects double entendres and crass humor into those squeaky-clean Bradys, but you will be surprised to find that this is basically an update of the show
207. Clue (1985) | How A Beloved Board Game Was Turned Into A Cult Classic With Three Endings | Behind The Scenes Of Clue | Clue Movie Review (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cashing in on well-known intellectual properties is by no means a new thing in Hollywood. Look all the way back to 1985, when Clue opened to disappointing box office with a confusing marketing gimmick of having three different endings. You could go see Clue A , Clue B , or Clue C . This was a bad idea, but today, all three endings are included in the film and follow, one after the other, and it's beautiful. If all IP cash-grabs were as great as the Clue movie, we'd have no problem with them! A l
206. Practical Magic (1998) | Diving Deep Into The Sandra Bullock/Nicole Kidman Cult Classic | Behind The Scenes Of Practical Magic | Film Analysis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Laci and Matt head to Witch Country to hang with the Owens Sisters, Sally (Sandra Bullock) and Gilly (Nicole Kidman). Together they learn about the power of blood magic, sisterhood, and body oil. Practical Magic was a critical and commercial disappointment when it came out in 1998, but it's a beloved classic at this point with a sequel out in movie theaters today ! (What remarkably good timing.) Were the late-'90s critics correct? Does this movie jump awkwardly from family movie to dark horror t
205. Oppenheimer (2023) | Unpacking & Analyzing Christopher Nolan's Crowning Achievement | Behind The Scenes Of Oppenheimer + Film Analysis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Laci and Matt turn in their longest podcast ever to talk about Oppenheimer ... and honestly, it could have been twice as long. There's so much to say about this movie, which, after spending the summer consuming the man's movies, it's pretty easy to call his best film, and one of the best films of the 21st century. In the history segment, we go through the life and legacy of the real J. Robert Oppenheimer and try to parse what drew Nolan to him. In some ways, Nolan's quotes about Oppenheimer the
Dunkirk (2017) | Christopher Nolan Brought His Timey-Wimey Take To World War II | Dunkirk Analysis (Patreon Unlocked) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Matt and Drew go through Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk . The man made a dad movie... but he still put all his wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey Nolan stuff all over it. Does it work? Does he try to turn up the Spielberg schmaltz just a little too much? Or is it his secret masterpiece? We discuss all that and so much more. Follow Drewbie Doobie's Movies!
