2 Middle Aged Geeks on Film

We're BACK!🚨 MASSIVE SPOILER WARNING! 🚨 We are diving deep into full spoiler territory for this one, so if you haven't seen Scream 7 yet, save this video and come back after you've survived Ghostface!Join the 2 Middle Aged Geeks on Film as we slice into the brand new, highly anticipated, and heavily debated slasher sequel, Scream 7! With Neve Campbell returning as Sidney Prescott and original franchise writer Kevin Williamson stepping into the director's chair, we had to see if this back-to-basics approach actually works.Since the spoiler gloves are off, we are breaking down everything. We're talking Sidney’s new life protecting her daughter, the fate of legacy characters like Gale Weathers and Mark Kincaid, and—of course—our raw reaction to the Ghostface reveal(s) and their motive. Does the ending hold up to the classic 90s meta-magic, or does it trip over its own robe?Like and comment below—what did you think of the killer reveal, and where does Scream 7 rank in your franchise tier list?

PJ and I close out PHASE 1 of the MCU.  And good news, we're getting back together shortly to resume operations!  BUT this older one first, it sees us revisiting Joss Whedon's milestone achievement bringing together all the Marvel Heroes and adding more.  #marvel #avengers #mcu #ironman #captainamerica #hulk #robertdowneyjr #chrishemsworth #markruffalo #blackwidow #scarlettjohansson #chrisevans #tomhiddleston #loki 

The great Joe Johnston is one of our (especially PJ's) favorite directors. Making a pulpy, optimistic, and near perfect Captain America, we have fun talking this entry in the MCU #marvel #mcu #captainamerica #steverogers #chrisevans #joejohnston

PJ and PLD continue (in public now) the MCU rewatch.  Recorded about 6-7 months ago we watch the first time we delve into the realm of fantasy in the Marvel Universe.  Kenneth Branagh's Thor!#mcu #thor #chrishemsworth #natalieportman 

The public viewing of our MCU rewatch continues! Recorded about 6-7 months ago, PJ and I delved deep into the third film in the MCU and the second in the Iron Man series. With Doomsday around the corner (okay a long way around the corner), we had a blast going back to the beginning! We also have a few surprising determinations...

PLD & PJ go over The Incredible Hulk which was the forgotten stepchild until Brave New World came out! Recorded 7-8 months ago and made public now as we unveil Phase 1 during my hiatus!

Hey all!  See my recent community posting for the reason we've been so quiet recently.  While the quiet will continue through the rest of the year it made for a good excuse to start doling out the MCU Rewatch**NOTE - THIS WAS RECORDED SIX MONTHS PRIOR!***THE PATREON/MEMBER EXCLUSIVE MCU REWATCH BEGINS!We kind of realized we probably should have had an intro episode first because we talk a lot about the MCU in general but we do get to have a blast talking about the first film in the MCU!

I'm back...kinda!  While I've been navigating some tricky times, I was able to at least get one of the podcasts back in line with thanks to PJ!  Thank you also to everyone else for offering their support and understanding!  Ghostbusters 2016 is a pretty...unloved movie.  We do a deep dive why and see if we can find any positives (Spoilers..we can...). WE also talk about how Disney has lost the plot and we get updates on Doctor Who and Star Wars and how Bob Iger is ruining his legacy.#ghostbusters2016 #ghostbusters #paulfeig #kristenwiig #katemckinnon #melissamccarthy #lesliejones #chrishemsworth #billmurray #danaykroyd #erniehudson 

PLD and PJ wax poetic on what may be the best of the bunch?  Josh Brolin leads the way in this fantastic film which is such an upgrade over 2!  #meninblack #meninblack3 #willsmith #tommyleejones #joshbrolin #emmathompson #aliceeve 

NOD YOUR HEAD!  PJ & I nod our head and talk all about the ups and downs of the popular Men in Black sequel as we continue on our Ghostbusters/Men in Black Season!#meninblack #meninblack2 #willsmith #tommyleejones #laraflynnboyle #johnnyknoxville #riptorn Patreon: https://patreon.com/pldprojects

The FINAL film in the Conjuring franchise!   At least of this era.   They are already talking prequel...and we're getting a HBO Max series after a whopping $194 million global opening weekend!    But what do PJ & I think about Chaves' latest... Well....#theconjuringuniverse #theconjuring4 #theconjuringlastrites #jameswan #michaelchaves #patrickwilson #verafarmiga #miatomlinson #benhardy 

We get to our first entry in the Men In Black franchise during our crossover season!   Is the song better than the movie?  The movie's pretty good! #meninblack #willsmith #tommyleejones #barrysonnefeld #riptorn #movies #1990s #moviereview #moviereviews 

After a little scheduling and real life difficulties, PJ and I are back with an...unexpected look at 1989's Ghostbusters II as we continue along the Ghostbusters/Men In Black crossover season!   We do our normal banter about other topics but we save it for the end this time....mentioning Alien Earth, Fargo, Dexter & Peacemaker

PJ and I begin our NEW season! This season we will be doing a crossover series covering the Ghostbusters/Men In Black film franchises! This is going to be a lot of fun! But first we pay tribute to the Prince of Darkness! RIP Ozzy!

The wait is over! PLD & PJ went multiple times this weekend to watch James Gunn's reboot of the DCU and here is our thoughts on the film!#superman #dc #dcstudios #dcstudio #DavidCorenswet #jamesgunn #rachelbrosnahan #nicholashoult #lexluthor #manofsteel #krypto #supergirl #justicegang #guygardner #hawkgirl #mrterrific

We finish up our run on live action Superman(-centric) films to prepare for our review on James Gunn's Superman next week!  PJ & I tackled the original vision by Zack Snyder and have a lot of love and some criticism.   Let us know what you think in the comments!#superman  #batman #justiceleague #wonderwoman  #zacksnyder #zacksnydersjusticeleague #zacksnyderjusticeleague  #dc  #dccomics  #dceu  #henrycavill  #benaffleck #flash #cyborg #steppenwolf #darkseid 

There is so much to love and so much to make you go huh?  PJ and I tackle the Ultimate Edtion of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice!  We are so close to Superman!!!#superman #batmanvsuperman #batmanvsupermandawnofjustice #dc #dccomics #dceu #henrycavill #zacksnyder #benaffleckJoin the Membership for Exclusive Videos!  Or join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/pldprojects

We continue to interrupt our Superman run, but this time it was more planned....Ballerina (or From the World of John Wick: Ballerina) came out this weekend and PJ and I are nothing if not completists so we dive deep into the film and talk the future of the WCU (Wick Cinematic Universe) #ballerina #ballerinamovie #ballerinafilm #johnwick #anadearmas #chadstahelski #lenwiseman #keanureeves Join the channel at https://www.patreon.com/pldprojects

We have officially entered Snyder territory!  Come hear PJ and I discuss the very polarizing film in the Superman franchise and perhaps be surprised by some takes!We also have some interesting discussion on the James Gunn Superman among other fun topics#superman #manofsteel #zacksnyder #dc #dccomics #henrycavill #Christophermeloni #jamesgunn 

A polarizing Superman film that tries to be a Donner entry and works for some and not as well for others!  We have our usual 15-20 minute preamble where we talk Jurassic World, Welcome to Derry and Harry Dresden but then we go all in on the 2006 entry into the Superman franchise!#superman #supermanreturns #dc #dccomics 

A 6th entry in a horror franchise and...it's actually good?    We haven't really seen this since Jason Lives!   Also, the late great Tony Todd delivers a touching goodbye. All this more after our usual 15 minute preamble on Doctor Who, etc.#finaldestinationbloodlines #finaldestination #tonytodd #jonwatts #horror #horrormoviepodcast #horrormovies #2025movies 

The best thing about this film is that we never have to watch it again...We try to be so positive.  This one proved to be insurmountable.....#superman   #supermanIV #christopherreeve   #dc   #dccomics   #comicbookmovies   #comicbookmovie    #genehackman   #margotkidder 

What a great family friendly Richard Pryor comedy from the 80s!  Oh wait...it's a Superman film?  Yikes....We also talk about why we didn't do The Big Blue Box with PJ & PLD this week,#superman  #supermanIII #christopherreeve  #richardlester #dc  #dccomics  #comicbookmovies  #comicbookmovie  #genehackman  #margotkidder  #richardpryor 

The road to James Gunn's Superman continues!  We decided to cut out the original theatrical cut credited to Richard Lester and go to the film that as close as can be is the more direct sequel to Superman: The Movie as done by original director Richard Donner!   As a child THIS was my Superman movie.  How does it hold up?  Let's find out!#superman #supermanII #christopherreeve #richarddonner #dc #dccomics #comicbookmovies #comicbookmovie #genehackman #margotkidder #jamesgunn #terrencestamp

The road to James Gunn's Superman begins here on 2 Middle Aged Geeks on Film! PLD and PJ are going back to the grandpappy of all superhero films. Arguably the greatest superhero film of all time, we are unsurprisingly unabashedly in love with this film. We believe a man flew...#superman #supermanthemovie #christopherreeve #richarddonner #dc #dccomics #comicbookmovies #comicbookmovie #genehackman #margotkidder #nedbeatty #jamesgunn

FORMERLY 2 Mediocre White Dudes on Film, we are NOW 2 Middle Aged Geeks on Film!  Nothing else has changed. The same passion.  The same fire.  The same (mostly) positivity.  The same banter. The same tangents....In fact today we have a doozy of one - as a bonus to today's film, PJ and I take a deep dive into the first episode of Freddy's Nightmares!Our main topic though is Dylan's New Nightmare: https://youtu.be/51JPiePa5dcThis is a fan film by Cecil Laird with help from Womp Stomp Studios (https://www.youtube.com/@UCgxi13lkkleF0xaO684BklQ ) who had put out Never Hike Alone and its sequel which we covered previously!This film is a direct sequel to Wes Craven's New Nightmare and while it is a short piece it is still a fascinating watch!  We hope you enjoy it!

Ooooh boy.  This is a nightmare.  But not in a good way.  We don't like trashing films...but sometimes they deserve it. We do our best to be entertaining..unlike this film.#anightmareonelmstreet #jackieearlehaley #rooneymara #freddykrueger 

PJ and I had SUCH a blast gushing over this one.  We both found so much more in this one than we even remembered on this watch...and we already liked it a lot!  This is the type of episode that makes us happy we do this podcast together!Of course there is the requisite pre-gaming of anything but Nightmare...we talk Brett Goldstein (we really want to be on Films to be Buried With), Scrubs, Shrinking, Harrison Ford and more!#anightmareonelmstreet #wescraven #wescravensnewnightmare #freddykrueger #freddykruger #freddykreuger #robertenglund #heatherlangenkamp #horrormovies #horrormovie #horror 

PJ & I love Rachel Talalay from her work on Doctor Who, Tank Girl and many other projects so we're excited to see her make her debut as a director in a series she worked on throughout! The first Final Nightmare! Tonally inconsistent with the rest of the series thus far, there is a lot to enjoy!

A film we were....surprised by!   Stephen Hopkins films takes some swings and might not always connect, but it is better than its reputation.  #anightmareonelmstreet5 #anightmareonelmstreet #freddykrueger #robertenglund 

Renny Harlin (and others....) manage to direct the hell out of a film that despite everything working against it, so many bad decisions, and a deadline ends up being entertaining!  #anightmareonelmstreet4 #nightmareonelmst  #freddykrueger  #robertenglund 

PEAK Freddy Krueger.  When you think of Nightmare on Elm Street....when you think of Freddy Krueger. THIS is the Krueger/Nightmare  you think of.  So many iconic kills, so many iconic people involved!  PJ & I were so happy to return and talk this sequel.  Top 3 horror sequels of all time!#anightmareonelmstreet3 #nightmareonelmst #freddykrueger #robertenglund #laurencefishburne #wescraven 

What an interesting film.  Sat between two of the more definitive entries to in the franchise, this one takes some wild swings for a Part II. Some work, and some don't, but it's definitely a fun one to talk about!#anightmareonelmstreeet2 #nightmareonelmst #robertenglund #freddykrueger

A soft spot for me, this is the film that brought me into the wonderful world of horror.  A truly iconic film.  PJ & I get to talk all about Robert Englund, Wes Craven, Johnny Depp, John Saxon, Lin Shaye, and Heather Langenkamp!    This is one is a labor of love for me truly!#anightmareonelmstreet #nightmareonelmst #robertenglund #johnnydepp #wescraven #linshaye #johnsaxon #freddykrueger

The conclusion (for now) of the John Wick series. PLD & PJ breakdown the fourth and possibly best movie in the series - Great action, great emotional beats, great lore building, great characters.#johnwick4review #johnwick4 #johnwick #keanureeves #chadstahelski #ianmcshane #lancereddick #laurencefishburne

WARNING. For forty minutes we talk about almost anything but John Wick...Rocky, Rambo, Star Wars, Marvel, Hobbit, etc.BUT then we got all in and had a fantastic time discussing the third entry in this beloved action franchise!#johnwick3parabellum #johnwick3 #johnwick #keanureeves #chadstahelski #ianmcshane #lancereddick #asiakatedillon #laurencefishburne #starwars #marvel #rocky #rambo #Searchforgollum

Recorded in the darkest hour, we may have eschewed our usual long pre-game banter, but the meat of the conversation is a plenty!  We talk all about John Wick Chapter 2, it's legacy, where it sits in the saga, and we split our opinion on Common!  Enjoy!#johnwick2 #johnwick #johnwickchapter2 #johnwickmovie #keanureeves #chadstahelski #ianmcshane #lancereddick #johnleguizamo #rubyrose #common 

FINALLY! The 2MWD are back! And for our patron Kelly, we are beginning the John Wick franchise! Buckle up as we take in this ballet of violence!#johnwick #keanureeves #chadstahelski #davidleitch #ianmcshane #lancereddick #johnleguizamo

A very special 2MWD!  PLD & PJ welcome director of Never Hike Alone & Never Hike Alone 2, Vincent DiSanti.  We get to break down his films and get some overall thoughts on the Friday the 13th saga! It's a great cap off to our Friday the 13th run!WOMP STOMP FILMS:https://www.youtube.com/@UCgxi13lkkleF0xaO684BklQ https://twitter.com/wompstompfilms

Buckle up! We close out our Friday the 13th run with Womp Stomp Films' Never Hike Alone 2! A very special episode for us. We also have a few announcements to make...but then we get right into this truly fascinating labor of love that is not only passionate...but truly a great Friday the 13th film! WOMP STOMP FILMS: https://www.youtube.com/@UCgxi13lkkleF0xaO684BklQ NEVER HIKE ALONE 2: https://youtu.be/ck8YlthYIzI?si=-RTzJiuACzZcPecl

PJ & PLD can't get enough of Jason so we decided to cover Womp Stomp Films' Never Hike Alone Series. We start with Never Hike Alone: The Ghost Cut - A Friday the 13th Fan Film Anthology. Now the Ghost Cut was released in 2020, but the first film, Never Hike Alone was released in 2017. The Ghost Cut takes that original film, adds the later prequel (Never Hike in the Snow), as well as the musical, Disappear and turns it into a full anthology film!WOMP STOMP FILMS: https://www.youtube.com/@UCgxi13lkkleF0xaO684BklQ The Ghost Cut - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7cctkoxx-c

The end of the Friday the 13th saga proper (but don't worry - we're gonna keep it going by covering Womp Stomp's Never Hike Alone duology!). PJ and PLD come to the defense of the maligned Michael Bay produced reboot of the franchise.PLD Projects: SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/show/5hlkTdV...

But let's figure out why!To counter we also talk Godzilla Minus One, Timeless Heroes: Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford, and A Disturbance in the Force!#fridaythe13th #JasonVoorhees #horror #movies #reviews #harrisonford #indianajones #lucasfilm

JOIN THE PATREONBack to back bangers! After spending the first 40 minutes talking about Marvel and...of course...Doctor Who (Yes a spinoff podcast is coming!) both PLD and PJ welcome Kane Hodder with open arms as our new favorite Jason! Nostalgia pulls for PLD as this is the first Friday he ever saw! #fridaythe13th #JasonVoorhees #horror #movies #reviews

Going from one of the more disappointing entries into the franchise to perhaps...arguably...the greatest installment. PLD & PJ gush about this one QUITE a bit as it is just a FUN FUN movie. Up top we also go into horror icons, Leatherface vs Chucky, the death of Matthew Perry, the Strikes, Doctor Who (of course - we really just got to bite the bullet and make a Doctor Who podcast), and more!

What do we do now that we killed Jason? The horniest and most drug induced Friday the 13th yet. GO REGGIE! Bring the enchiladas and coke and settle in for a Mediocre rant or two...

The FIRST Final chapter in the series...and the one where it feels that Jason finally arrives? Great characters, Great kills, and a Great conversation between PLD & PJ. Not to mention we have quite a long discussion beforehand involving Horror, Halloween, Saw, and so much more....and THEN as a bonus? Stick around at the end and we talk the new Doctor Who trailer!
