Only three animated films have ever been nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, and none have ever won. Let's dive into Pixar's newest film, SOUL, and my thoughts on why it more than deserves to be nominated for Best Picture.

Regardless of whatever you think of the DCEU, Zack Snyder, or superhero movies in general, #ReleaseTheSnyderCut has been nearly impossible to ignore - let's dive into the fan movement that spent years campaigning for its release, and look at similar fan movements like it.

In the year 2000, a fan edit of Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace appeared on the web -- an edit which reportedly cut Jar Jar Binks completely out of the movie, and it's just one of an increasing number of fan edits of popular movies that've been released ever since. Fair warning… they get weird.

In November of 1979, Sam Raimi led a small cast and crew into the middle of the Tennessee woods to an abandoned cabin that had no electricity or running water for six weeks to shoot a simple little horror movie. Madness ensued.

Why did The Rocketeer - one of the most beloved superhero movies from the 1990s - flop at the box office and fail to initially attract an audience? That and more in this half-hour special on one of the most underrated films of the genre!

Like a lot of you, I'm sure, I'm fascinated by the stories that emerge from nightmarish film productions - something that the great Joe Dante is hardly a stranger to. Let's dive into three of his films that help tell the story of Dante's long struggle for creative control against the mindless Hollywood system.

It's hard to believe that it's already been a decade since the Steven Spielberg-Peter Jackson team-up THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN was released in theaters. Let's take a look at it and other motion-capture cartoons like it to see just how well it holds up ten years later!

Let's take a look at everybody's favorite All-American Everyman and the darker roles he played throughout his career, starting with his memorable villainous turn in AFTER THE THIN MAN.
