PODCAST! Marvel Watch: Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018)
Watched: 07/15/2018
Format: Alamo Slaughter Lane
Viewing: First
Decade: 2010's
It's a PODCAST! Starring our own Jamie! As the Ant-Man partners up with The Wasp, so we team up with our better half to talk big about getting small. This one is a bit shorter than other podcasts at a trim 35 minutes, so jump right in to hear the good, the bad and the tiny of Ant-Man and The Wasp (2018).

90's Watch: The Brady Bunch Movie (1995)
Watched: 06/23/2018
Format: Amazon Prime
Viewing: I dunno. 4th?
Decade: 1990's
Huh. So, the original Brady Bunch ran from 1969 - 1974 and then endlessly in reruns.
Here's the math:
- End of show to release of the movie - 21 years
- Release of the movie to now - 23 years
Yeah, Gen-X'ers, I know.

PODCAST: Jamie and I Talk "Justice League" (2017)!!!
Jamie humored me - and we watched Justice League (2017) and then she agreed to do a podcast.
Ryan welcomes a very special guest - Jamie, the light of his life - as they talk DC Entertainment's "Justice League", and Jamie works through her feelings about the movie. And Ryan maybe goes on a Kirby tangent.

Marvel Watch: Thor | Ragnarok (2017)
Watched: 06/13/2018
Format: BluRay (purchased)
Viewing: Third
Decade: 2010's
I've already seen (twice) and talked about (once) Thor: Rangarok (2017), so the rest of this post is just me reflecting on what an excellent idea it was to cast Cate Blanchett as Hela.

Horror Watch: The Fog (1980)
Watched: 06/09/2018
Format: Amazon Streaming
Viewing: First
Decade: 1980's
Lately I've been having an ongoing conversation with Stuart about the tendency of critics to use the phrases "it's not really a horror film" or "but it's good" in discussing the horror genre when they want to get folks to at least consider viewing something made as a horror movie. This thinking and talk offends the horror purists, but as someone who tends to think of the endless line of cheapo slasher flicks that lined the walls of video stores during his formative years - I kinda get it. I understand the coded message: this is horror, but it's not going to just make you queasy and wonder why this is supposed to be a good way to spend 90 - 120 minutes of your life.
I'm of the firm belief that horror is a pretty good indicator that nobody goes to the movies for the same reasons (I usually get very little from horror, but I will have to be carried into a Katherine Heigl RomCom on one of those Silence of the Lambs dolleys). Still, this does make me think a bit about how I talk about horror films - what I like and don't.
During the course of the chat, Stuart was stunned to learn somehow I'd never seen The Fog (1980), and I had no real reason I hadn't seen it and one convincing Adrienne Barbeau to suggest I absolutely *should* see The Fog. It's not like I don't dig John Carpenter's other films I've watched - so I broke it up over a couple of nights as I was winding down in Bozeman.

Musical Watch: An American in Paris (1951)
Watched: 03/26/2018
Viewing: First
Format: TCM on DVR
Decade: 1950's
I just found this in my drafts. Yeah, so back in March I watched An American in Paris (1951). Never wrote it up, just started the post.
So I'm not writing one now. But there's plenty out there on this movie, so... there you go.

Noir Watch: Crime Wave (1953)
Watched: 05/28/2018
Format: Noir Alley on TCM - DVR
Viewing: First
Decade 1950's
Sometimes casting can save the day for a fairly standard plot in a movie - it can be a real pleasure to see your favorite actors, character or otherwise, play out the parts in your boilerplate movie. Other times that same old jazz standard gets a new look, a new interpretations and the execution is enough to make you stand up and applaud.
