Starting with the only Fantastic Four Kevin had actually seen, we talk about the infamous low-budget production to figure out what works in spite of the difficulties, and what was dead on arrival. Plus some discussion of the ‘Doomed!’ documentary.

Ranking the Francis Ford Coppola Films

Still Need to Watch: Finian’s Rainbow, Gardens of Stone 

Not Gonna Lie, Probably Will Never Watch, Life is Too Short: Jack

Francis Ford Coppola is such an icon and is one of those figures that you sometimes forget to actually look at the word he has produced when you assess his abilities and contributions to the world of cinema. He has made some of the best, biggest and most important movies ever made. He has made some financial disasters. He has made some real intimate and personal movies. And more importantly his work suggests he has rarely ever stopped exploring through art what it means to be alive in a very messed up world.

Ranking the Star Wars Television Seasons

I have a sickness. I really deeply love the idea of Star Wars. I also love the original three films of course, but the idea of Star Wars is something I find intoxicating, and I have spent an ordinate amount of time reading novels and comics and watching movies and shows that almost entirely prove…that the idea of Star Wars should have died in 1983.
