Movie Moan - The Week Nothing Happened

Seriously, we have nothing to work with this week.

Joining us for a very boring show this week is Mr Randall Maynard in his long awaited return to the podcast to give us for the correct opinion on 'The Amazing Spider-man 2' poster and trailer, the Wonder Woman casting in 'Batman & Superman Vs. The World', and how 'X-Men: Apocalypse' affects the future of that franchise.

Plus, with the release of Disney's latest animated feature film 'Frozen', it's time to reunite the crew of our podcast from a few months back on the desperate state of American animation. So the delightful Melissa Molina and the mysterious Matt Thompson return to discuss whether the film was as bad as its marketing made out.

Oh, and they're making more Indiana Jones films.

Like I said folks, it's not even worth listening this week. Dull, dull, dull.

Phil's Top 5 Angriest Reviews - A Movie Moan Christmas Special

It's a Movie Moan mission this week to get everyone's spirits uplifted as we move into the most wonderful time of the year.

So join Phil Gee as he takes you back through the Movie Moan archives and looks back fondly on the top five movies that have made him most furious over the seven years he's been podcasting.

Yes, it may be a crummy clips show but it's more than that. For newer listeners to the show, you'll get to hear some reviews you've probably never heard. For veteran listeners, you'll get to hear one particular review that nobody has ever heard. But what will be no.1?

So sit back, relax, and thank your deity that you aren't.......that British guy.  Merry Christmas!

Movie Moan - The Hungrover Part II: Catching Monkeys

We don't need monkeys!

If Phil has one problem with the otherwise fantastic sequel to 'The Hunger Games', it's that all these wonderfully buff folks playing the Tributes have had their months of training thrown down the crapper so they can appear on screen for a few seconds while Katniss battles killer mist and evil baboons.

Otherwise, Phil is joined in his jubilation for 'Catching Fire' by the awesome box office master Mr Shawn Robbins, and countered with slightly less enthusiasm for it by Jamie.

So join us for a meaty 75 minute discussion on a rare franchise movie which, in spite of a terrible 'see you in a year' ending, is genuinely exciting and moving.

Why can't Thor be like this?

Movie Moan - BROUGHT TO YOU BY DELICIOUS CINNABON

This week, in what must be the most exclusive advance review we've ever had on our show, Gabe Toro, film critic for The Playlist and Jump Cut Junkies, give us his thoughts on 'The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty'.  The only way to make the film seem less horrendous than it sounds is to make sure our podcast contains more product placement than the movie itself.

Elsewhere, it's an amazing ensemble of talent this week showing up Phil and Jamie as we are joined once again by Spencer Perry of Superhero Hype, and celebrate the long awaited return of The Weekend Warrior himself Mr Ed Douglas.  Together, we deliver the most in-depth roundtable discussion you can get for 'Thor: The Dark World', belatedly and bravely assert that 'Gravity' is not a film for the ages, just a film for the theatre, some members of the show are chastised for wasting their time on the 'Man Of Steel' live non-event, and find time to cover the sad news over 'Tomorrowland's move to Summer 2015 (yeah, fuck that other Disney movie that was in the news this week).

And back to that Walter Mitty review, that's just the tip of the cinnabon.  Gabe also has some choice words for the 'journalists' who called him a sourpuss that ain't down with the young groove something or other.  Keep listening and it'll all make sense.

I think!

Movie Moan - Bore & The Dark Elves Of Snooglepussy

Phil can promise you that the great supervillain to the right hand side, otherwise known in the Marvel Universe as 'The Clapperboard' would have been a far more effective antagonist in 'Thor: The Dark World' than the black hole of motivation, magnetism and personality standing to the left of him known as Malekith.

Phil begins his mighty rant against Marvel Studios' first BAD film by taking on the Dark Elves and their leader and spreads from there to every other problem with the movie.........as in pretty much everything else as well.  He doesn't want to destroy your excitement for the film.  He just wants to prepare you.  His review will be spoiler free.

Elsewhere, the immortal Gabe Toro, film critic for The Playlist and Jump Cut Junkies, joins us for a follow up review on 'Ender's Game' and even braves Ridley Scott's latest, 'The Councilor', before finishing the show with a recap of Exhumed's 24 hour Horror-Thon Film Festival.

And Spencer Perry from Coming Soon.net, Superherohype, and Shock Till Ya Drop joins us to discuss the trailer for 'X-Men: Days Of Future Past', Chris McQuarrie doing 'Starblazers' and bloody baboons.

It's Movie Moan and it's not going anywhere.
