FlickRadio: Honest Movie Talk / KRMS Radio Archive

Spider-Man: Brand New Day remains unstoppable. Guy T. Wehman, Allison Rose, and Stephen Leibowitz open this week's FlickRadio with Spider-Man holding the number-one spot for an incredible sixth consecutive week and closing in on $2.5 billion worldwide. The summer's other major hits aren't disappearing either. The Odyssey moves back into second place with approximately $1.6 billion worldwide, while Coyote vs. Acme drops to third but continues benefiting from strong word of mouth and nostalgia. The team also discusses Buddy, which accomplished the unusual feat of making more money during its second weekend than its opening weekend, another example of how horror can build an audience through positive buzz. The big question is whether Spider-Man can survive another weekend at number one. Allison and Stephen disagree on the answer as Practical Magic 2 arrives in theaters. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return, and Allison finds that their chemistry and camaraderie still provide the sequel with plenty of magic. She doesn't think it matches the original, but fans who know and love the first film should enjoy returning to this world. Stephen goes further and predicts the witches will finally knock Spider-Man from the top spot. Stephen and Allison also review The Fix, an action thriller starring Zachary Levi and Liam Neeson. The story begins during the 2021 Afghanistan withdrawal before sending its characters on another dangerous mission. Stephen praises several tense and grounded action sequences but finds the nearly two-and-a-half-hour runtime excessive and thinks inconsistent music choices weaken otherwise effective scenes. Allison agrees that the movie runs long and finds many of its twists predictable, although both consider it a decent action thriller overall. Stephen previews The Uprising, a darker Robin Hood-inspired film starring Andrew Garfield. He wasn't able to see the film before the broadcast, so rather than judging it unseen, he's waiting to hear how audiences respond. Allison then reviews Runner, starring Alan Ritchson. After Reacher and Motor City, she wonders whether Ritchson is becoming increasingly typecast as an action star. Runner mixes action, comedy, and thriller elements and delivers a decent experience, although Allison says audiences could comfortably wait for streaming. The episode closes with Classic Picks before the conversation turns more serious for September 11. Stephen chooses the 1976 King Kong, Allison picks the comedy classic Airplane!, and Guy follows this week's Robin Hood theme with Robin Hood: Men in Tights. Guy, Allison, and Stephen then reflect personally on September 11, 2001. Stephen remembers living and working in New York when the attacks occurred, while Allison recalls the terrifying hours when she didn't know whether her father, who worked at the World Trade Center, was safe. The conversation honors those who were lost, the first responders and rescuers who answered the call, and the lasting impact of experiencing history rather than simply reading about it.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day refuses to give up the top spot. Guy T. Wehman, Allison Rose, and Stephen Leibowitz open this Labor Day weekend edition of FlickRadio with Spider-Man sitting at number one for the fifth consecutive week, while Coyote vs. Acme finally reaches theaters and lands an impressive number-two debut. The team looks at why word of mouth could give Coyote vs. Acme staying power, especially after the film spent years in limbo before Ketchup Entertainment brought it to audiences. Stephen and Allison discuss the movie’s nostalgic appeal, its $15.9 million domestic opening, and why audiences who grew up with Wile E. Coyote and the Acme Corporation are turning out for it. The news is much worse for The Dog Stars. Despite a reported $70 million budget and a wide release, the film struggles to connect with audiences. Allison again praises its visuals but calls the story disappointing, while the group compares its performance with the much smaller horror release Buddy, which is already profitable thanks to a budget under $3 million. The box-office conversation also covers PAW Patrol, Mutiny, the continuing strength of horror throughout the year, and why per-theater averages can sometimes tell a more interesting story than weekend grosses alone. The discussion then turns to Ketchup Entertainment, the independent distributor that rescued Coyote vs. Acme from Warner Bros. after also releasing another shelved animated project. Stephen makes the case for smaller distributors willing to take chances on movies larger studios leave behind. For this weekend’s new releases, Allison and Stephen both tackle Onslaught. Allison finds the movie tonally confused, unable to decide whether it wants to be action, horror, parody, or something more experimental. Stephen compares it to Universal Soldier crossed with Die Hard, but says its grim tone and extreme gore keep it from becoming the kind of mindless fun ride it seems to want to be. Stephen also reviews Fall 2: Dead Point, the sequel to 2022’s Fall. This time, another group becomes stranded thousands of feet above the ground, but Stephen finds the sequel far less effective at building suspense and criticizes several filmmaking choices that undermine moments that should have been shocking. Allison has better things to say about By Any Means, starring Mark Wahlberg and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Loosely inspired by a true story, the film follows an FBI agent working with a Mafia hitman while investigating the murders of civil rights leaders in 1966 Mississippi. Allison praises its pacing and thriller elements and calls it the best choice among this weekend’s new releases. The episode closes with Classic Picks of the Week. Stephen honors the late screenwriter Victor Miller with the original 1980 Friday the 13th. Allison goes back to 1983 for Michael Keaton in Mr. Mom, while Guy celebrates Labor Day weekend with another 1983 favorite, National Lampoon’s Vacation.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues its extraordinary box office run, reaching approximately $2.2 billion worldwide after four weeks in theaters. Guy T. Wehman, Allison Rose, and Stephen Leibowitz discuss the film becoming one of the highest-grossing movies of all time, its staying power at number one, and whether its theatrical and home entertainment run could eventually push it toward $3 billion. The team also reflects on a difficult week for entertainment following the deaths of Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and Peter Cullen. They remember Parton's extraordinary career across music, television, and movies, Curry's unforgettable performances in films including The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Clue, and Cullen's iconic work as the voice of Optimus Prime. At the box office, The Odyssey continues its successful theatrical run alongside other summer hits, while the discussion turns to how strongly the season recovered after a slower start to the year. Allison reviews The Dog Stars, a post-apocalyptic drama starring Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin, Guy Pearce, and Margaret Qualley. While the film itself doesn't completely win her over, its striking aerial photography and landscapes make the cinematography a major standout. Stephen and Allison then discuss Coyote vs. Acme, the long-delayed live-action and animation hybrid starring Will Forte and John Cena. After nearly disappearing as a tax write-off, the film finally reaches audiences with a story built around Wile E. Coyote taking the Acme Corporation to court. Both praise its nostalgic humor, animated cameos, and ability to capture the spirit of classic cartoons. Stephen also reviews Buddy, a bizarre horror movie built around a seemingly friendly orange unicorn from a children's television show who becomes terrifying when things don't go his way. The unusual premise delivers gore, kills, and a much darker spin on children's programming than Stephen expected. Allison takes on Idiots, starring Dave Franco, O'Shea Jackson Jr., and Mason Thames. The comedy follows two down-on-their-luck men transporting a wealthy teenager to rehab before everything goes spectacularly wrong. There are some laughs, but Allison finds the movie overly broad and recommends Coyote vs. Acme for audiences looking for a stronger comedy. The episode closes with Classic Picks honoring the performers lost this week. Stephen makes a double selection with Dolly Parton's 9 to 5 and Tim Curry's The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Allison honors Parton with Steel Magnolias, while Guy chooses Tim Curry's 1985 ensemble comedy Clue.

Spider-Man: Brand New Day has officially crossed $2 billion worldwide, becoming the highest-grossing Spider-Man film and one of the biggest movies of all time. Guy T. Wehman, Allison Rose, and Stephen Leibowitz discuss how far the blockbuster can climb, whether $3 billion is possible, and why its July 31 release date may have given Marvel the perfect runway through the rest of summer. The team also looks at Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which continues holding strong at the box office and dominating IMAX screens. They discuss release-date strategy, the lack of major competition heading into fall, PAW Patrol's family audience, and why films such as The End of Oak Street and One Night Only have struggled to compete with the summer's biggest theatrical events. Allison reviews The Rivals of Amziah King, Andrew Patterson's sophomore feature starring Matthew McConaughey. She praises Patterson as a filmmaker to watch, highlighting a story that shifts from joyful, bluegrass-infused drama into something much more serious during its second half. Stephen takes on It Ends, a low-budget thriller about four friends trapped on a seemingly endless road. The single-location concept keeps the production contained, but Stephen finds the philosophical conversations and repetitive setup unable to sustain the film's 90-minute runtime. Allison then discusses Tony, the Anthony Bourdain biographical drama starring Dominic Sessa and Antonio Banderas. The film focuses on one pivotal summer in Bourdain's life and offers plenty for food lovers, though Allison wonders how much of its appeal depends on audiences already being interested in the famous chef. Next up is Insidious: Out of the Further, the sixth entry in the horror franchise. Allison finds it suspenseful, creepy, and packed with effective jump scares while introducing a new wrinkle to The Further. It may not be the franchise's best installment, but its low-budget, high-return formula shows why the series keeps coming back. Finally, Allison gets her Jason Statham moment with Mutiny, which she describes as essentially Die Hard on a ship. The episode wraps with Classic Picks of the Week. Stephen chooses Pixar's 1998 animated favorite A Bug's Life, Allison goes with Richard Gere in 1980's American Gigolo, and Guy heads back to 1953 for Vincent Price in House of Wax.

PODCAST EPISODE TITLE Spider-Man Nears $2 Billion, The End of Oak Street Review & Classic Picks APPLE PODCASTS SUMMARY Spider-Man: Brand New Day nears $2 billion worldwide as Guy T. Wehman, Allison Rose, and Stephen Leibowitz break down the summer box office, review The End of Oak Street, preview PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, and share their Classic Picks. FULL PODBEAN HTML DESCRIPTION Spider-Man: Brand New Day continues its extraordinary box office run, reaching $1.7 billion worldwide and more than $700 million domestically. Guy T. Wehman, Allison Rose, and Stephen Leibowitz discuss the blockbuster's incredible second weekend, the power of repeat viewings and word of mouth, and whether Spider-Man could ultimately cross the $2 billion mark. Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey remains a major theatrical draw, with IMAX screenings still selling out, while Toy Story 5, Minions and Monsters, and Disney's live-action Moana continue competing for family audiences. The conversation turns to Hollywood's growing production budgets, franchise fatigue, original storytelling, and why simply spending $250 million doesn't guarantee audiences will show up. The team also looks at the disappointing performances of Ice Cream Man, One Night Only, and Super Troopers 3, and whether studios need to rethink how they develop and release movies. Stephen and Allison then review The End of Oak Street, David Robert Mitchell's PG-13 dinosaur thriller starring Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor. When a 1980s neighborhood is suddenly transported back to the Jurassic era, the result is a big-screen summer adventure packed with dinosaurs, tension, humor, and the kind of crowd reactions that make seeing a movie in a theater worthwhile. Allison also previews PAW Patrol: The Dino Movie, which arrives as families look for something new after weeks of Toy Story 5, Minions and Monsters, and Moana. The episode wraps with Classic Picks of the Week. Stephen revisits Wes Craven's 1984 horror classic A Nightmare on Elm Street, Allison chooses 1989's Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure ahead of her Popcorn Frights interview with William Sadler, and Guy heads back to 1969 for Easy Rider.

PODCAST EPISODE TITLE Spider-Man: Brand New Day Breaks Records, Ice Cream Man Flops & New Reviews APPLE PODCASTS SUMMARY Spider-Man: Brand New Day makes box office history as Allison Rose and Stephen Leibowitz review Ice Cream Man, One Night Only, and Olmo, plus their Classic Picks of the Week. FULL PODBEAN HTML DESCRIPTION Spider-Man: Brand New Day has delivered a record-breaking opening weekend, and Guy T. Wehman, Allison Rose, and Stephen Leibowitz lead this week's FlickRadio with a look at the blockbuster's extraordinary box office performance. They discuss its rapid climb toward the billion-dollar mark, whether it could ultimately reach $2 billion, and what its success could mean for Avengers: Doomsday. Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey remains strong in second place, while Toy Story 5, Minions and Monsters, and the live-action Moana continue drawing family audiences. The team also looks at the disappointing theatrical performance of Motor City and discusses why some films connect with audiences while others struggle to justify their budgets. Then Stephen digs into Eli Roth's Ice Cream Man, an unrated horror movie in which children who eat the title character's frozen treats become violent killers. There is plenty of gore, but Stephen finds the dialogue, acting, and filmmaking far less appetizing and explains why he understands reports of audiences walking out. Allison has a much better time with One Night Only, describing its unusual setup as what might happen if a romantic comedy and The Purge had a baby. The romance follows a familiar formula, but strong chemistry and genuine laugh-out-loud comedy make it an entertaining alternative for moviegoers looking for something lighter. Stephen also reviews the Brad Pitt-produced independent drama Olmo, centered on a 14-year-old growing up in New Mexico during the late 1970s while helping care for his father, who has multiple sclerosis. While Stephen praises the young lead's performance and some of the film's creative choices, the drama never completely connects with him. The episode wraps with Classic Picks of the Week. Allison chooses Molly Ringwald's 1986 favorite Pretty in Pink, Stephen revisits the 1984 comedy Police Academy, and Guy travels back to 1946 for Robert Montgomery's film noir Lady in the Lake.

Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey continues dominating the global box office, proving that audiences still embrace ambitious theatrical filmmaking. Guy T. Wehman is joined by FlickDirect's Allison Rose and Stephen Leibowitz to discuss the film's impressive second-week performance, Christopher Nolan's meticulous filmmaking, and why premium formats like IMAX continue drawing moviegoers. The conversation also examines the summer box office, including Toy Story 5 surpassing $1 billion worldwide, the continued success of Minions and Monsters, and Disney's live-action Moana struggling to justify its massive budget. Stephen and Allison then review Spider-Man: Brand New Day, starring Tom Holland. The latest Marvel adventure delivers a more emotional Peter Parker story while introducing fresh storytelling, spectacular action, inventive camera work, and one of the summer's biggest box office openings.
