Coyote vs. Acme: Better Late Than Never (Episode 679)
from Movie Madness · host Erik Childress
Erik Childress and Steve Prokopy have seven new reviews for this week, including an early one that is a call to arms. Steve goes solo this week on a documentary about tornado chasers (Never Stop Chasing), a bizarre sci-fi film featuring Noomi Rapace (Hot Spot) and the sixth film in a still very profitable horror franchise (Insidious: Out of the Further). The duo also look at Willem Dafoe as a former poet whose work is rediscovered (Late Fame). Enid Plyton’s WWII-era children’s book gets a modern telling (The Magic Faraway Tree). Jason Statham is back to avenge his boss and bust up some human traffickers (Mutiny). Finally, they are getting the word out on next week’s release of the rescued film that Warner Bros. and David Zaslav had no intention of releasing and why you should see it (Coyote vs. Acme). 3:27 - Review Catch Up 7:07 - Never Stop Chasing 20:12 - Late Fame 30:13 - Ad Break (00:28:43.70) 32:13 - Hot Spot 41:49 - The Magic Faraway Tree 57:50 - Insidious: Out of the Further 1:08:03 - Ad Break (01:04:33.02) 1:10:03 - Mutiny 1:22:54 - Coyote vs. Acme CLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNG Be sure to check out Erik’s Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten Tomatoes Critics’ Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, IL Chicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streaming Physical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.
