Pantheon Plus: The Iron Claw

It’s the series finale of Pantheon Plus. Jerome and Brian decide to go back to the well and discuss what brought them together in the first place: pro wrestling.

They discuss a brand new release, a movie that purports to cover the tragedy of the Von Erich family. They also reveal their future plans as they exit The Reel World and venture out on their own.

Pantheon Plus – Creature Features: Shin Godzilla

It’s the grand finale of Creature Feature month and what better way to end than with a Godzilla movie! Jerome is not the biggest Godzilla fan and Brian could probably teach a class on it.

Many people have talked about Shin Godzilla since it came out in 2016 and is very different than the tone of the Monsterverse. The editing is fantastic and the dialogue sounds like an Aaron Sorkin movie. This is really a Godzilla movie!?

Pantheon Plus – Creature Features: Deep Rising

It’s time for a Creature that neither Brian or Jerome had seen. We talked about Stephen Sommers earlier in the year when discussing The Mummy, but before that he directed a lesser known monster movie that has a killer cast.

Shades of Jaws, mixed with Predator with a little hint of Tremors, and you get Deep Rising. Does the 1998 CGI hold up? Well, at least the script does.

Pantheon Plus – Creature Features: Tremors

Brian has seen this movie probably 50 times. Jerome has not. Did Jerome miss out on an underrated cult classic from 1990 or is Brian completely out to lunch and loves a movie that is total trash?

At the time Kevin Bacon regretted taking the role despite the fun he had making it, however the cult status of the film has led him to change his view and now sees it as his favorite movie that he’s made. Will Brian and Jerome agree? This may make or break Creature Feature month.

Pantheon Plus – Creature Features: Alligator

Brian has been trying to get Jerome to watch Creature Feature movies for years now. He almost got a whole month dedicated to Godzilla but they both settled on Creature Feature month instead. However, Brian has picked some movies that somewhat go beyond the B-Movie tone and are a little something more than the usual “monster movie”.

First up is Alligator from 1980 which stars Robert Forster of all people. It plays more like a cop drama and that’s probably why it stands out all these years later. You’ll soon find out why Quintin Tarantino cast Forster in Jackie Brown because of this movie.

Pantheon Plus – Brendan Fraser In the 90s: Gods and Monsters

Jerome and Brian are back with another 90’s Brendan Fraser flick that also features Universal Monsters in a non-Universal film. Funny how that works.

The film is Gods and Monsters from 1998 which had awards acclaim at the time. It’s a fictionalized account of the final days of famous director James Whale. Was it a “whale” of a time? Let’s find out.

Pantheon Plus – Brendan Fraser In the 90s: Airheads

It’s a movie that Brian has watched dozens of times and Jerome has never seen. And not only does it star Brendan Fraser, but Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, Chris Farley, Judd Nelson, Michael Richards and Ernie Hudson, just to name a few.

It’s Airheads from 1994! Does this movie strike a ‘chord’ with Jerome the same way it does with Brian? Let’s find out.
