Talk Hard Movie Pod

Based solely on a single picture of Sean Connery in the worst costume ever, we decided to Force Watch the 1974 Irish-American science fantasy "classic," Zardoz! We had absolutely no idea what we were in for. Come along with us now, through the vortex, on a journey to second level!

You can have your Contagion and Outbreak podcasts, but who else is breaking down 1988's The Carrier?? That's right; only your boys. CATS, a hundred people wrapped in plastic, The Black Thing, bipolar townspeople... This beauty is free to watch on Netflix, so check it out first (if you have the time) and then join in on the fun.

USA versus Korea for all the karate tournament marbles and lives hang in the balance! On this Force Watch episode, let's turn the acting up to 11 and figure out who is... Best of the Best!

In honor of St. Valentine's Day, we let our significant others pick the movies we would be forced to watch this week. We start with Richard Gere and Pretty Woman (1:20) -- then When Harry Met Sally (17:27) -- and finally, three hours and twenty solid minutes of Anne of Green Gables! (32:58)50

Talk Hard dives into the Lovecraft deep-end with 1985's Re-Animator. A horn-dog reanimated head with hypnotism powers is only the tip of the iceberg in this one.

The guys discuss the movies they've been watching lately, including Hostiles. Allen walks us through movies you can look forward to in 2018. We announce something fun for Valentine's Day and Todd gives us seven solid minutes of talk about his underwear.

It's a Force Watch Episode and we're diving into 90s caveman comedy with Encino Man. The guys break down the launching pad of Pauly Shore and Brendan Fraser and try to figure out what happened to them. But most of all, we're going to teach you how to weez.

You expect the best from us on Halloween and this year we bring you three horror movies from three different eras of Hollywood... The Birds (1963), Fright Night (1985), and The Strangers (2008). Also, a notice to all sneezers: Allen doesn't want to bless you anymore.

It's a Force Watch episode! Todd offers up the cult classic Halloween III and we analyze it like never before. Bugs, snakes, androids, Stonehenge, a surprising lack of witches... This thing keeps you guessing, but we'll guide you to safety.

45 mins of misery and Kathy Bates is not involved. We're sad and we're going to let it all out.

BUT, James Gunn cheers us up with some good news on Thor: Ragnarok.

A good old fashioned round of Force Watch. And finally, a disturbing snack that could be the breakout cereal of the future.

The guys start by catching up with big news and more fun facts. Results on whose smokin' hot sports opinion was most controversial. Then, Allen gives us his review of Logan which leads to a discussion on R-rated superhero films.

As Jack Nicholson steps away from life in the public eye, the guys name their favorite Nicholson roles and share some true hollywood stories about a Tinseltown legend.

The guys have done their homework and turn in a detailed examination of the 90's classic, The Professional. But first, is M. Night back?? Allen saw Shyamalan's Split and fills us in. Plus, a ton of superhero movie news and rumors including Hellboy 3, Logan, Suicide Squad and more.

The guys remember 2016 (not so fondly) and get you ready for 2017 in this New Year's episode. Who will we miss the most, the best/worst movies of the year, what we're working on in 2017, what films are we looking forward to the most/least, Lemon Coke, and more!

After seeing Rolling Stones' heinous list of the Top 100 TV shows of all time, the guys give their own Top 10s.

Allen opens the show with a fantastic Burt Reynolds story. Then, the guys discuss the virtues of taking big risks as an aspiring artist, Walt Disney had some big ones, a marathon edit session on the newest WSF short film, and then they wrap it all up with a preview of the Fall television season and some thoughts on Stranger Things.

Tough Love for the superhero bunch! It's been a long time coming for DC, but Marvel isn't getting off scot-free. What complaints could we possibly have about Marvel?

It was a long, hard summer we won't soon remember. The boys are taking one for the team by recounting all the dreck that Hollywood served up this year. A year of remakes, reboots, and ill-advised sequels and we're taking them to task.

In our first interview, we talk to John Gibson filmmaker and lecturer in electronic media at NKU. Topics include: How did he end up here? - John's extremely ambitious feature film Revelation Trail - Advice for anyone who might make a feature - What's the right path for a young person who wants to work in film - And a rousing round of rapid fire including, of course, good lookin' dudes

(35:45) - Underrated Directors (52:30) - What Bryan Singer does better than anyone else.

We've listened to each other's bands, the verdicts are in and things got heated! Are three sisters the best rock band on the planet? Is Crowded House the greatest band of all time?? Only our expert musical acumen can say for sure.

Are there any actors you'd pay to see no matter what? How about directors? Are there actors/directors you avoid at all costs? That's what the boys are talking about this time and Brendan Fraser better run for cover.

The fellas have their chisels and are ready to immortalize four icons of comedy. Who will make it to the mountain? Some you'll guess, some you won't. Did we miss anyone? Who are your four?

Then, the fellas determine who should be represented for all time on the Mt. Rushmore of Bad A$$es in film (29:11). And, in a few bonus minutes of after-show, Scott says Dwayne Johnson is the exact opposite of Bad A (1:16:59).

Allen introduces Full Disclosure, a new segment wherein everyone has to come clean on the movies they've watched since our last show, no matter how bad, and admit whether or not they were a fan. And which horrible movie recommendation from Scott inspired the segment? Highlights include: - Online hate for the new Ghostbusters - Scott makes an on-air marriage proposal! - Looking back at Iron Man 3 - Dolph Lundgren's illustrious career - What happened to Owen Wilson? - Visiting the Goonies house

Celebrate! It's the debut episode of Talk Hard. This week, Civil War gets the microscopic treatment and the discussion nearly lasts longer than the movie. (Spoiler warning is level RED, folks.)
