(pod)cast of critics by podcastofcritics
In the last of our '90s Disaster series, a new critic joins the cast! Mitchell - Garrett's brother and Michael Bay aficionado - joins us to talk 1998's Armageddon. It's the end of the world - and this series - as we know it, going out with a literal bang as Bruce Willis and the boys blast off to drill an asteroid before time runs out. Guns in space, animal crackers, Aerosmith - trust us, you don't want to miss a thing in this episode.
We're just ERUPTING with lava-hot takes as we continue our journey through our '90s Disaster series with a ~heated~ look at 1997's Dante's Peak. Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton star as a very competent scientist and a very incompetent mayor - whose stirring and not-at-all forced romance is interrupted by that gosh darn volcano right down the street - and it would have gotten away with it too! If it weren't for that meddling Pierce knowing how to solve every problem ever- and looking way too good doing it.
Don't let the title of the episode fool you - the tornados may suck but this movie sure doesn't! Join the cast on a wild ride across Oklahoma as we kick off a new series featuring '90s Disaster Movies, starting with a conveniently (and not at all intentionally) timed pick that has a sequel coming out this week: the 1996 classic - Twister!
In the final episode of our Disney Channel Original Summer series, Garrett and Ashley race to the feminist finish line with the X-TREMELY thrilling Motocrossed from 2001, following "Andi" as she takes on the man's world of motocross - where gender barriers are smashed, engine-repair records are broken, and one poor dude's sexuality gets severely questioned.
In Ashley's pick for our Disney Channel Original Summer series, we watch Wendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior - THE action-packed girl power flick of 2006 that's surprisingly culturally resonant in between all the catfights, cappuccinos, and Kung Fu.
Pick a card? No, pick ME! The cast set the stage for their Disney Channel Original Summer series with Garrett's pick: Now You See It - an obscure Disney Channel gem brimming with true magic, mystery, a plot to decapitate a teenager, and uh...friendship or something?
In the conclusion to the cast's review of the Ocean's trilogy, Ashley & Garrett talk through the satisfying revenge story that is Thirteen, where Clooney and the gang get back to doing what we loved em for in the first place - stealing our hearts.
On the second of the cast's look into the Ocean's series, Ashley & Garrett follow the Eleven to Europe to size up whether the second in the trilogy is as egg-celent as the first, or if Twelve is more concerned with out-foxing the audience than entertaining them...
In the inaugural episode of the (Pod)Cast of Critics, Garrett & Ashley go back to 2001, with the first of Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's trilogy - Ocean's Eleven.
