The above discription was taken from the IMDB of this movie. Normally I wouldn't copy and paste such a thing but I feel like this movie already has some questionable copyright standing.

In addition to having a Stan Lee style alliteration, Billy Batson is an orphan trying to find his mother who meets a wizard who gives him super powers. In this superhero version of Big, we witness a hilarious buddy comedy that you wouldn't even believe is set in the DC movie universe.

Based thematically on the Old Man Logan series, Logan follows an elderly Logan who meets Laura, a young mutant who seems to have a similar past to his own.

A group of explorers, including an archaeologist alchemist, go into the catacombs of Paris. David explains how this found footage thriller is a parallel to Dante's Inferno. We also go over some of the real life lore behind the catacombs.

Video games movies almost always suck. Silent Hill may be an exception to that rule, while it's not the best horror movie ever it does stand on it's own as good movie. As far as video game franchise movies go Silent Hill deffenitly delivers on the look and feel of the source material.

David and I watch the gangster classic Reservoir Dogs. A diamond heist movie with no diamonds and no heist.

David and I watch the 2009 JJ Abrams reboot of Star Trek.

The movie that set the rules for all slashers that follow. David is a huge fan of the 1978 horror classic and the crew discusses the movie and the franchise of Michael Myers.

I went into this film flam feeling a little 'meh' about the cult classic but found that Scream may be a predacessor to movies like Cabin In The Woods. As often happens my impression of the movie was raised during the process of film flams.

Silhouettê d’Amour joins us in this awesome display of Laura Linny’s contortion ability.

This was my favorite movie as a child and I assumed that watching 20+ years later would lead me to cringe. I was pleasantly surprised as this movie really holds up in a big way. Goonies, who?

This week we’re joined by Silhouette d’amour who picked the movie The Craft. What I remember about this movies is; SNAKES! SNAKES! FU@#ING SNAKES!! But in addition to that it’s a movie about teenage self identity and finding yourself as a teenager moving into adulthood (all characters played by adults) and sometimes you must be careful what you wish for. @silhouettedamour

An awesome movie that spans horror, sci-fi, and political satire. This movie may be 20 years ahead of it's time. Listen to David, Bo and special guest Kyle discuss the amazing back story and iconic scenes of 1988's They Live.

If you don't normally listen to the film flam episodes, I really think you should consider this one.  Fury Road is a bit of a sleeper great movie, while critically acclaimed it wasn't as profitable as you may think.  Personally I originally saw the movie thinking it was going to be a dumb action flick (which are still great for different reasons) turns out it's perfectly balanced movie that never lulls.
