Matt's Movie Lodgecast

Shane Black kept the Predator movies coming with The Predator in 2018. We see it and we discuss the various actors in it including Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Jacob Tremblay, Keegan-Michael Key, Olivia Munn, Thomas Jane, Alfie Allen, and Sterling K. Brown. We found the movie lacking a lot but what it lacked most was Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Get sprayed with fresh Peppermint as Jennifer Garner goes on a relentless killing spree in this ultra-violent revenge flick. We didn't know what to expect from this movie and we were laughing all the way to Skid Row. With a special call-in guest from the Lodgemaster's father. One of our top episodes!

From the desktop computer to the silver screen, John Cho wows audiences in the revolutionary new film Searching. He searches for his daughter via her laptop computer after she disappears. Will he find her? We'll let you know and so much more.

The Happytime Murders unites the creative forces of Henson Alternative (Ha!) with the comedic powerhouse Melissa McCarthy. Unfortunately the results are not so hysterical according to this Lodge crew which didn't laugh once. But we've got some words for these puppets in this Lodgecast review.

Dive deeper and deeper into The Meg as we dive into the wetness of the 4DX theater at Regal Cinemas L.A. LIVE. On a hot summer's day we get drenched for this shark movie starring Jason Statham, Li Bingbing, Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose, Winston Chao, and Cliff Curtis.

Five Lodgers spend a summer morning watching Spike Lee's Joint BlacKkKlansman. Hear about Spike Lee's vision of Ron Stallworth's story starring John David Washington, Adam Driver, Laura Harrier, and Topher Grace. Power to the people!

Three Lodge members endure Dinesh D'Souza's Death of a Nation. Dinesh follows up 2016: Obama's America and Hillary's America with another documentary that may or may not be right up your alley. Is Donald Trump the next Abraham Lincoln? We are joined by some Russians at the Universal Cinema AMC at CityWalk Hollywood for a screening of this unique motion picture.

Mission: Impossible - Fallout kills MoviePass but lives on as Tom Cruise wows us with his stunts. Is Tom getting too old for this? We discuss. Written, produced, and directed by Christopher McQuarrie and starring Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Sean Harris, Michelle Monaghan, Alec Baldwin, Henry Cavill, Vanessa Kirby, and Angela Bassett. Go Ethan Hunt!

Boots Riley's anti-capitalist, pro-socialist, anti-corporate, pro-labor union, politically charged, dark comedy Sorry to Bother You is what is on the menu in this Lodgecast. We hit up the Glendale Americana and see this movie on the big screen. Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Jermaine Fowler, Omari Hardwick, Terry Crews, Danny Glover, Steven Yeun, and Armie Hammer star with some voiceover work from Patton Oswalt and David Cross. It's a strange one with a Salad Dragon that'll knock your socks off!

The Lodge held a festival of love and light as we reflected upon our experiences in Eighth Grade before seeing a movie about kids now in Eighth Grade. This movie is written and directed Bo Burnham and stars Elsie Fisher. Gucci!

Buckle your safety belts and we twist and turn into the strange world of Distorted. If you have heard it's a direct-to-video movie starring Christina Ricci and John Cusack. And there is a virtual reality component which we also partake in. Minds Eye Entertainment takes us on a weird ride and we are here to hold your hand.

Listen to our Yelp Review of the Hotel Artemis starring Jodie Foster, Sterling K. Brown, Sofia Boutella, Jeff Goldblum, Charlie Day, Brian Tyree Henry, Jenny Slate, Dave Bautista, and Zachary Quinto. It was a long stay at the Hotel Artemis and writer/director Drew Pearce couldn't save the day, but Jeff Goldblum certainly did!

In many ways Gotti is the movie of the year in 2018. After eating Sbarro's Pizza we take in John Travolta as the Teflon Don John Gotti. Directed by Kevin Connolly, the movie has it all including a main theme song by Pitbull and also the 80s hit "West End Girls" by British pop duo Pet Shop Boys. You're gonna wanna listen to this episode! Got eeemm!!

Listen and learn about Hereditary in this comprehensive movie review of the film directed by Ari Aster and starring Toni Collette, Alex Wolff, Milly Shapiro and Gabriel Byrne. We talk about one of the most talked about horror movies is quite some time.

Lodgecast Boyzzz get upgraded at the Highland Park 3 Theatre as they consume writer/director Leigh Whannell's Upgrade starring Logan Marshall-Green, Betty Gabriel, and Harrison Gilbertson. Things get heated in the Prius as one hot-headed Lodger downgrades the movie with a harsh bone count.

Probably don't see this movie, but maybe listen to this podcast. We wearily endure Action Point from those Jackass bros like Johnny Knoxville and Chris Pontius. It's not a wild ride. It sucks.

Time to reconcile with Solo: A Star Wars Story. Here are all the hot scoops about Ron Howard/Phil Lord/Christopher Miller/Kathleen Kennedy's mondo $275 million Star Wars flop featuring Han Solo. Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Thandie Newton, and Paul Bettany star. Thandie Newton gets killed off quick! I've got a bad feeling about this one!

We became a Prius divided after experiencing Paul Schrader's First Reformed starring Ethan Hawke, Amanda Seyfried, and Cedric the Entertainer. Has Schrader made a late career gem or has he lost his touch forever? Listen to our heated debate as we fog up the windows of the Toyota Prius.

Wanna hear a review about a French rape and revenge action horror film? Look no further. Lodgecast Boyzzz hit the AMC Sunset 5 for a delightful Mother's Day screening of Revenge. It's a bloody ordeal and if you can't stomach watching it, then listen to us tell you all about it. Matilda Lutz stars in a film directed by Coralie Fargeat.

Strictly for the Jim Carrey Completest, we dive into the darker side of America's funny man in this detective drama that eventually got its U.S. VOD release in 2018. While it is certainly dark and dreary, we can promise that we will describe to you the Jim Carrey Orgasmic Experience! Jim hooks up with Charlotte Gainsbourg in one of the most memorable Salad Dragon scenes of the year!
