Alright folks, it's time to dust off your flannel, feather your mullet and bust out the VCR again because it's time for another Simplistic Reviews Movie Commentary. We return to 1989 with another classic; "Lethal Weapon 2." The sequel to another classic,"Lethal Weapon," "Weapon 2" pretty much ups the ante over it's predecessor and exceeds and it some ways. This time around Riggs and Murtaugh are on the trail of a group of South Africans who are into some shady dealings, including a guy who might be David Warner.
Whereas "Weapon 1" was a pretty dark film, "Weapon 2" is a the perfect balance of humor, bombastic action, and gritty cop drama. With that said, sit back, strap yourself in (if you're into that type of thing) and get ready to yuck it up with three guys who make Jones, Mahoney, and Hooks look like legit cops with "Lethal Weapon 2."
The end of June brings another edition of the Simplistic Reviews Podcast. This month the boys discuss Batman's out of control property damage, play a game of Word Association, berate Chelsea Handler, swoon rather uncomfortably over Fargo, Godzilla's tail and Eva Green, then promote the Patrick Dempsey 80s classic Loverboy. Yes, we are using "classic" loosely. All that and more on a dog days of Summer edition of the Simplistic Review Podcast.
It's June and it's Podcast time! But this one is special. Today we celebrate the 25th Anniversary of 1989's classic, Batman. So we decided to try something new, join us today as we give you a SR Movie Commentary! Our first commentary and very possibly not our last commentary ;)
So queue up those VCR's...hmmm wait sorry....DVD's, Blu-rays and this Podcast and have a blast to the past with us. You can watch our YouTube video, listen to the Podcast or stream the commentary with the full film on dropbox!
It's May, and wouldn't you know it, we're on time this time! The Simplistic Reviews Podcast is once again....ON TIME!
This month we recap all that was the month of May, with a special guest
appearance from America's OTHER favorite black guy, the DC Fanboy
himself, Neal DaSouza. The quartet discuss the hidden beauty behind
Grace Jones in "View to a Kill", where Marvel is finally showing the
chinks in their armor, and all take part in a rather "arousing"
rendition of "Kill, F*ck, or Marry." We also get a little literary,
literally, when the guys talk about which graphic novel, book, or comic
book arc should be adapted for the big or small screen in this month's
"Simply the Best."
All that and so much more in their May Edition of The Simplistic Reviews Podcast.
Note:
I realize that I switched between speaking in the first and third
person, but that's just one of the benefits of being a little, how you
say.......insane.
In honor of The Dark Knight's 75th Anniversary, the Simplistic Reviews Podcast got the whole gang together to talk about the legacy of Batman. Now you're probably wondering...what makes that different from any other show? Ummmm...not much. Although, the boys do hold an NFL style Draft of Batman villains who they think could kill the Caped Crusader. Afterwards the draft grades are given out by a very special guest arbiter brought in to class up and beautify the proceedings...Matthew's very own lovely wife Nicole Stewart. No, she does not show any favoritism. Yes, their marriage nearly comes apart at the seams. No, Justin, DJ, and Neal don't try to help matters. The boys discuss Batfleck's new Batsuit and also pick out their own favorite versions of Batman and Joker on a very special Simply The Best segment.
Grab your cape, your cowl, your shark repellant, and your Bat credit card and enjoy the show!
On
this late edition of The Simplistic Reviews Podcast, Matt, DJ, and
Justin try to catch up on the month that was April. They take their
turn ridiculing soon to be former LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling then
debut a new game called Simply Lying. The losers of this game will
have to watch and review the 2004 film Torque. Yeah, they'd have been
better off fighting to the death. We do get a pretty decent Terrence
Howard impersonation from Matthew out of it and learn some of the lesser
known criminal activities of Samuel L. Jackson. That, reactions to
Star Wars casting, Julie's descent into HYDRA and much much more on this
episode of the Simplistic Reviews Podcast. Show Notes: DJ's Hidden Princess Bride Reference X-Men Days Of Future Past Donald Sterling Hail Hydra Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome Torque
