Episode 234: Past, Present & Future Wars

It was a long July 4th weekend and that meant a lot of movies. Erik Childress & Steve Prokopy may have whittled it down to an even dozen but that was still plenty for this epic review show. There is true crime (The Phantom), horror (Fear Street: Part 1 – 1984, Vicious Fun) and the fight over a heart (The God Committee). Steve looks in on Heidi Ewing’s tender love story (I Carry You With Me) and Erik determines where the latest from Steven Soderbergh fits in his “retirement” resume (No Sudden Move). There is also Megan Fox handcuffed to a dead body (Till Death), a couple of standout Sundance films from both 2020 & 2021 (Zola, Summer of Soul) as well as variations of the wars in our country from the past (America: The Motion Picture), the present (The Forever Purge) and the future (The Tomorrow War). Strap in and see which are worthy of your time. 0:00 - Intro 2:37 - The Phantom 11:18 – Vicious Fun 19:36 - The God Committee 29:11 – I Carry You With Me 35:13 - No Sudden Move 45:43 – Summer of Soul 56:16 - Till Death 1:08:59 – America: The Motion Picture 1:21:26 – Fear Street: Part 1 – 1994 1:34:51 – Zola 1:48:29 – The Forever Purge 2:02:26 – The Tomorrow War 2:19:50 - Outro This is a public episode.
