Malone, Shorts co-writer Jen Maffessanti, and Shorts video editor Paul Nelson as they dig a little deeper into the intersection of popular culture and big ideas, as well as some of the things that didn’t quite make the cut for the videos.

We watched Top Gun: Maverick and were blown away by one of the best sequels of all time. Tom Cruise delivers with a thrilling plot and amazing practical effects. But do movies like this help to glorify war? We ask this question as well as: What will be the future of drone warfare? Who is the movie’s unnamed “enemy”? What made this sequel so great, …

What’s the worst Star Wars movie of all time? The best? How did Lucas shove an excessive amount of politics into the prequels and still manage to deliver a thin story of the rise of space Hitler? We discuss all this and more on our Star Wars special episode of Out of Frame: Behind the Scenes. Also: we have an announcement. Because Sean is leaving F…

Has Marvel entered a dark age? We’re starting to think so after getting back from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. In this latest episode, we discuss whether Marvel has jumped the shark and why this movie in particular failed. The reasons include: They ruined the character of Dr. Strange by having him make stupid decisions, the plot is …

We found the most “Nicolas Cage” movie of all time, and it’s amazing. In The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Nic Cage plays himself, gets into an adventure with the CIA, and it’s about as crazy as you might think. On this episode, we talk about why this movie failed at the box office despite its crazy premise and exceptional execution. We also…

Everything Everywhere All At Once, the latest A24 release, is live-action Rick and Morty, but better and less nihilistic. That’s about the best way to describe this insane movie. It involves metaphysical bagels, suggestive IRS trophies, and a warmhearted family drama at the center of it all. In this episode, we talk about how this film shows that m…

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore is proof that the Harry Potter movies have jumped the shark. The latest spinoff has a meandering, confused plot, and its screenplay gives its cast nothing to work with. Although we regret having to watch this movie, it gave us a lot to talk about, including the strange politics of the Wizarding World, the…

Sean and Jen ventured to the dystopian nightmare-world of Los Angeles to watch “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” and despite their less-than-ideal experience, the movie itself was amazing. In this episode, they talk with Paul about why this movie succeeds because it actually cares about what its fans want. It also features a positive, heroic main character w…

WHAT YEAR IS IT!? When we woke up this morning, we thought it was either the 80s or 00s. Why? Because “The Lost City” is the best rom-com we’ve seen since those eras. Starring Sandra Bullock, Channing Tatum, Brad Pitt, and Daniel Radcliffe, The Lost City is a story of lost love, vine-swinging adventure, and reclamation. The humor was non-woke and n…

If the intent of Pixar’s new release “Turning Red” was to do exactly that to its audience, then mission accomplished. We did turn red — with anger and frustration over a muddled movie. Don’t get us wrong, it was beautiful and had some touching themes, but the execution made the movie feel like they copied Encanto and made it worse. Specifically, th…

On this episode of Out of Frame: Behind the Scenes, our very own Daphne Posadas joins us as a special guest to discuss The Adam Project. Daphne is a Project Manager and Brand Ambassador for FEE en Español, and co-host of Económetro. If you haven’t had enough of Ryan Reynolds yet, you’re in luck. In Netflix’s new film, The Adam Project, there’s two …

Skinny emo guys are having their moment. As if culture has come full circle since the eyeliner-laden, tear-soaked 2000s, it makes perfect sense for Robert Pattinson of sensitive vampire fame to star as Batman. But don’t let the past fool you. The sufficiently-jacked Pattinson puts on a strong, stellar performance in this noir-inspired, mysterious m…

The recent blockbuster “Uncharted,” starring Tom Holland and Mark Wahlberg, is disappointingly mediocre. Perhaps that’s not surprising for a video game movie, but it is surprising that it failed at adapting such a classic game series, yet somehow became one of the biggest movies of 2022 so far. Is “Uncharted” trying to be the discount version of In…

Amazon Prime’s “Reacher” series is pretty darn good. It’s a faithful replication of “The Killing Floor” by Lee Child, a novel in the Jack Reacher series. Is there anything particularly special about the story, cinematography, or characters? Not really. But the mere fact that the show avoids tired woke tropes and focuses on producing a quality piece…

With the shining success of Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian, we had similar hopes and expectations for the new Book of Boba Fett series. Yet after a few episodes, that hope turned to disappointment. Full of missed opportunities and poorly-thought-through world-building, The Book of Boba Fett flopped harder than a hunk of wet spam dropped from a skysc…

In celebration of the 50th year of one of the best films ever made, Sean, Paul, and Jen sat down to discuss “The Godfather” and how it holds up in this modern age. Although the length, prolonged discussions, and low tech stick out as a few issues, the greatness of the movie remains without a question. The Crew also discussed how mob violence – and …

On this episode of Out of Frame: Behind the Scenes, Sean, Paul, and Jen sit down and discuss HBO’s new superhero series: “Peacemaker”. Peacemaker is an offshoot of John Cena’s character in Suicide Squad – a bit of an antagonist – but the show does a good job of making him likeable and understandable. Overall, for superhero stuff, it was pretty funn…

On this episode of Out of Frame: Behind the Scenes, Sean and Jen discuss a new Netflix animated series, “Arcane”. For those familiar, Arcane is a TV show spin-off of the popular video game, “League of Legends”. Is this series proof that engaging, beloved video game stories can transfer to killer shows and movies? Maybe so! Sean and Jen also discuss…

Jennifer Lawrence, Leonardo DiCaprio, Ariana Grande, Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill… At this point, you can probably guess that all these actors were in the recent Netflix original, “Don’t Look Up” – a political “satire” directed by Adam McKay. In the movie, humanity is faced with a dire threat: an extinction-grade meteor headed straight toward earth. Tw…

Another year, another half-baked Marvel spin-off. While we really enjoyed the recent release of “Spiderman: No Way Home”, “Hawkeye” had us yawning and wondering when Marvel went off the tracks. Does this series prove they’re starting to get careless about their releases? Sean, Paul, and Jen discuss this series and the fate of Marvel on this week’s …

Do you like Spiderman memes? If so, you’ll definitely like “Spiderman: No Way Home”. The newest Marvel movie has been abuzz with Zendaya, Tom Holland, and an incredible box office opening. But does the movie actually meet the hype? Definitely yes, but also no. It’s hilarious and entertaining, but there’s a few details that might complicate the MCU …

We gave out awards for; Best Actor, Best Actress, Scene Stealer, Unexpected Gem, Biggest Disappointment, Worst TV Show, Best TV Show, Worst Movie, and Best Movie.

On this snowy, special edition of Out of Frame: Behind the Scenes, Sean, Paul, and Jen got a chance to sit down with Eshom and Ian Nelms, the directors of Fatman. If you missed last year’s podcast (https://youtu.be/Y70HpY_ru7Q), Fatman is a dark comedy about Chris Cringle (Mel Gibson) contracting with the US military and evading an assassin hired b…

Despite Disney’s poor track record on acknowledging human rights abuses, their beloved animated movies help carry the company’s high esteem. The latest movie to do so is “Encanto”, a charming story about a magical family living in the mountains of Colombia. Although the movie isn’t necessarily groundbreaking, it’s warm plot and colorful animation m…

On this episode of Out of Frame: Behind the Scenes, Sean and Jen sit down and discuss the newest Ghostbusters iteration, “Ghostbusters: Afterlife”. As they hoped, it wasn’t nearly as bad a trainwreck as the 2016 all-female flick. That said, there were still some issues with it, but not enough to throw it out the window. LINKS: Out of Frame series: …

If you asked us, “What’s the best movie you’ve seen in the past few years?” we’d be hard-pressed to come up with some quick examples. A lot of recent entertainment just blends together in a monochrome sludge. But when we sat down and watched “Last Night in Soho” we were quickly blown away. Where have movies like this been?!? Figure out why it break…
