Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 8: Interview with James Karen, Reviews of Up, Percy Jackson and The Olympians, and The Wolfman

Up. Maybe we’re just a bunch of Johnny-come-latelies who missed the bandwagon, but even so, nothing is going to stop us from putting in our two cents about Up. It’s great! So there.

The Islander is where guests are interviewed by Nancy and asked to pick the ten films they would take with them to a desert island. Nancy’s guest this week is character actor James Karen. Among his many TV appearances are roles on Seinfeld and The Larry Sanders Show, and on the big screen he has appeared in Poltergeist, The Return of the Living Dead, Frankenstein Meets the Spacemonster, and many other films.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. What’s the point of being an Olympian if your kid can call you on the carpet for being busy with God stuff instead of being a good parent? The only thing that could possibly be lamer is taking an elevator to Olympus.

The new Wolfman movie is an uneasy mix of yesterday and today. Is it an effort doomed to leave gorehounds disappointed and fans of the original film frustrated?

Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 7: Oscar Predictions, Edge of Darkness, Legion, and Trailers! (plus bonus audio clip)

Trailers. The Misfits take a look at some coming attractions that just keep on coming and coming and… 6 ‘n 90. Da man reviews six films in ninety seconds! Bonus audio clip. Early last summer, in another incarnation, the Misfits attempted to predict which 10 films would be nominated for Best Picture. Do the hits outnumber the misses? Listen and find out. Edge of Darkness. Mel’s back–but for how long? Would a better pick for his return to the screen have been a buddy movie–maybe with a beaver as his buddy? Legion. Angels without wings. The human race without a future. Dennis Quaid without career options. Without the benefit of a crystal ball or tea leaves, the Misfits do their best to predict the Academy Award winners.

Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 5: Interview With John Wilson (Creator of the Razzies ), The Golden Globe Awards, and Reviews of The Giant Claw and Duel in the Sun

6 ‘n 90. Da Man reviews six films in ninety seconds. And this time, it’s a festival of “outs”!

The Giant Claw. It’s a blur! It’s a bird! It’s a puppet!

The Islander. Guests are interviewed by Nancy and asked to pick the ten films they would take with them to a desert island. Nancy’s guest this week is John Wilson, creator of the Razzies, an award that celebrates the worst Hollywood has to offer. Will a Pia Zadora film be among the movies he would take with him?

Horror has many faces. For Lou, it’s the face of Sam Mendes. Daybreakers. Is a spoiler warning really necessary? A film so bad, it’s not possible to spoil it.

The Golden Globe Awards. Let’s hear it for the winners! And if you don’t feel like clapping for them, don’t worry. They’re more than ready to give themselves a round of applause and a standing O. Hey, they deserve it.

Duel in the Sun. Lionel Barrymore rides a horse! What else do you need to know?

Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 4: Sherlock Holmes, Nine, and It’s Complicated

Robert Downey Jr. as Sherlock Holmes. Is his performance too edgy, or is it the perfect modern interpretation of a classic character?

Nine. A musical featuring a film director that’s about everything…except making movies!

January and February: a black hole for film releases, swallowing dozens of poorly tested, written-off movies every year. If you’re a major director or movie star, you do not want your film opening in one of these two months.

It’s Complicated. Alec Baldwin: ‘Nuff said.

Marmaduke: The Movie. Promise or threat? Either way, it’s headed to a theater near you in 2010.

The Golden Globe nominations. Predictors of The Academy Awards? Or just another tedious awards show?

The Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 2: Ann Rutherford Interview (part 2), Yogi Bear, Ma and Pa Kettle, 6 ‘n 90

The Islander Part 2. Nancy concludes her interview with the wonderful Ann Rutherford, who shares her final five picks to take with her on a desert island. Ann also tells the story of how she got the part of Scarlett’s youngest sister in Gone With the Wind.

Hollywood takes on Red Box and bad Twiter movie reviews.

Ma and Pa Kettle, reconsidered. Although to be honest, we’re not sure these movies have ever been seriously considered. If not, it’s about time they were, and The Cinema Misfits are up to the challenge.

The Cinema Misfits Podcast, Episode 0: Munsters/Adams Family Debate, Reviews, Patrick Swazey Remembered, and more!

At last, a podcast with the courage to ask the question, “Who would you rather go to Happy Hour with? The Munsters or The Adams Family? And before you ask, no, Spot can’t come along. Only seeing eye dragons alowed.

Da Man reviews 6 films in 90 seconds.

Even when the Academy gets something right, they still manage to get it wrong. How can honoring Lauren Bacall, Gordon Willis, and Roger Corman not be the right thing to do? When it’s done the wrong way.

Reviews of Inglorious Basterds and 9. Warning! Spoilers Galore!

Patrick Swayze remembered.
