However, the addition of two more sequels (four in total), and the development of new technology required to film performance capture scenes underwater, a feat never accomplished before, led to significant delays to allow the crew mor

This episode features a streaming-era Christmas triple feature examining how modern holiday films handle conflict, resentment, and emotional labor: Oh. What. Fun., A Merry Little Ex-Mas, and Jingle Bell Heist.Oh. What. Fun. was released by Prime Video in 2024 as a holiday comedy aimed at adult audiences, with a cast led by established, middle-aged performers and a narrative centered on maternal burnout and invisible labor.

Critics largely noted its heavy reliance on therapy-speak and safe conflict resolution, resulting in lukewarm aggregate scores.Jingle Bell Heist, also released by Netflix in 2024, leans into the holiday caper genre,

Scrooged (1988) is an American Christmas fantasy black comedy directed by Richard Donner and written by Mitch Glazer and Michael O’Donoghue. Inspired by Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, it offers a metafictional modern retelling starring Bill Murray as Frank Cross, a cynical TV executive preparing a live broadcast of A Christmas Carol who is visited by ghosts on Christmas Eve.

Pollard, and Alfre Woodard.Produced on a $32 million budget and filmed in New York City and Hollywood from December 1987 to March 1988, the film marked Murray’s return after a four-year hiatus following Ghostbusters.

The film stars Oscar Isaac as Victor Frankenstein and Jacob Elordi as the Creature, with Mia Goth and Christoph Waltz in supporting roles. The story follows the life of Frankenstein, an egotistical scientist whose experiment in creating new life results in dangerous consequences.Del Toro had long imagined a faithful Frankenstein film as a "dream project".

Tonight’s triple feature embraces the exact kind of weird that makes cinema fun. We open with Christmas Chaos! — a meta-documentary about the fictional StabaClaus franchise, built from chaotic behind-the-scenes lore and cast interviews. We’re doing it at Kathleen Benton’s request since she appears in the film, and if someone you know is in a piece of indie Christmas madness, you screen it.From there, we dive straight into Troma: Tromeo and Juliet and Frankenhooker. These aren’t just cult films — they’re punk cinema at full blast. Gleeful, grotesque, DIY to the bone, and totally uninterested in prestige respectability.Together, the three films form an accidental masterclass in joyful trash: fake slasher mythology, Shakespeare rewritten by lunatics, and a man who builds the perfect woman out of spare parts. A perfect Troma Christmas.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 is a 2025 American supernatural horror film based on the video game series Five Nights at Freddy's created by Scott Cawthon and the sequel to the 2023 film adaptation. The film was directed by Emma Tammi and written by Cawthon. Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Theodus Crane, and Matthew Lillard reprise their roles from the previous film, with Freddy Carter, Skeet Ulrich, Wayne Knight, Mckenna Grace, and Teo Briones joining the cast. Set a year after the previous film, it follows Abby Schmidt (Rubio) as she reconnects with her animatronic friends, leading to events that reveal the origins of Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.Cawthon stated in August 2018 that there could be a second Five Nights at Freddy's film, based on the events of the series' second video game, if the first film were successful.

In this episode of Comic Stripped, we dive into one of the wildest comic-to-film gaps ever: Victor Santos’ silent, minimalist noir Polar: It Came From the Cold and Netflix’s loud, neon-soaked action flick Polar starring Mads Mikkelsen. The comic is all style and silence—sharp lines, stark colors, and a cold assassin drifting through a dying world. The movie throws that out for explosive violence, cartoon villains, and a full John Wick makeover. We break down how the same character becomes two completely different stories, why the adaptation swings so hard away from the source, and what this says about Hollywood’s obsession with recreating Wick-style hits without understanding what makes them work.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the

Biohazard came out of late-’80s Brooklyn fusing NYHC, metal, and hip-hop before anyone had a name for it. Urban Discipline and Judgment Night made them global, turning street-level anxiety into breakout crossover without losing grit. After decades of lineup chaos and dormancy, the original four reunited, hit the road, and recorded Divided We Fall—a deliberate return to their core sound: short songs, big gang-vocal hooks, and lyrics about a fractured world that finally caught up to what they were yelling in the ’90s. Critics mostly agree it lands: some call it their best since State of the World Address, others hear a strong, no-frills comeback that proves Biohazard still matters. It isn’t reinvention; it’s reclamation—four men older, angrier, and right on time.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Raduli

Tonight’s Triple Feature—Showgirls, Striptease, Hustlers—tracks 30 years of America wrestling with sex, money, and power. Showgirls (1995) is Verhoeven’s neon nuclear satire, the American Dream as a Vegas buzzsaw. Striptease (1996) shifts to Florida grime, looking and feeling like Road House with a pole—sweaty bars, corrupt politics, and Demi Moore surviving a world rigged against single moms. By 2019, Hustlers flips the script: Ramona and her crew turn the strip club into a recession-era hustle, treating sex work as labor and revenge on Wall Street. Different decades, different aesthetics, same spine: women navigating systems built by men and reshaped by money.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76a

Jonathan Lynn isn’t a household name, but his precision reshaped film comedy. A Cambridge satirist before Hollywood, he built jokes like arguments—logic first, chaos second. “Clue” (1985) was a $15M ensemble farce with three valid endings, a box-office flop that became a cult classic and a film-school staple. “My Cousin Vinny” (1992) turned courtroom procedure into character comedy; its $11M budget became a $64M hit, earning Marisa Tomei an Oscar and a permanent place in law-school curricula. “Trial and Error” (1997), a $25M legal farce with Jeff Daniels, Michael Richards, and early Charlize Theron, underperformed but became a cable favorite. Together, these films show Lynn’s gift: ordinary people stumbling through rigid systems, revealing the absurdity underneath. In 2025, when studio comedy leans on improv and noise, Lynn’s structured, intelligent approach feels like a lost art—proof that smart comedy still matters.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that so
