Short Answer: No! Slightly Longer Answer: We started a new show! Joining forces with Connor and Peter from Fix-a-Flick to create the Tuvix of podcasts: No Flicks Given.

"Within these Santa films were bound the strength and will to bring holiday cheer around the world. But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Santa film was made..." We enjoyed (is that the right word?) our holiday-themed commentary for One Magic Christmas (you know...the one were the dad gets shot. in. the. face.) so much we decided to do another one! 2020 was a weird year, and it produced an even weirder Santa Claus movie: Fatman, Starring Mel Gibson as Santa (you read that...

One Shall Stand. Three Shall Fall. It's the thrilling conclusion to our Chris Kringle King of the Ring! To recap, all four of us are going head-to-head-to-head-to-head, each having chosen what we each deem to be the ultimate Santa Claus film depiction. This week we cover our final two challengers and determine the ultimate Claus. Miracle on 34th Street (1994) - Peter York Elf (2003) - Connor Lynch Subscribe and rate us wherever you found us!

Four Santas enter. Only one leaves. Ho Ho H'oh no!  Happy Holidays everyone. The boys at Fix-a-Flick are once again back on to talk about what the Christmas season is all about: competition. All four of us are going head-to-head-to-head-to-head in a sleigh bell smackdown, each having chosen what we each deem to be the ultimate Santa Claus film depiction. Because of the size of this yule tidal wave, this episode is only going to focus on the first two contenders: The Santa Clause (1994) -...

"Do you expect me to talk?" Spooky Season is over, pumpkin spice has completely permeated the air, and the Holidays are just around the corner. You know what that means; it's time to give thanks to our favorite British spy. The name's Bond. James Bond. This year we each highlighted a personal favorite that might not be well remembered. Frank went dove deep to nominate Thunderball while Tomorrow Never Dies left Matt black, white, and read all over. We also give our first impressions on No...

FULL. SCREAM. AHEAD. The crescendo of this year's Halloween mini-series - Deep Rising, where a crew of mercenaries planning to hijack a cruise ship shows up to realize something got to the ship first: a gargantuan tentacled...thing? Idk, it's not a squid and it's not an octopus. Whatever, it drinks people and that's all you need to know. Hop aboard to watch store-brand Harrison Ford and a crew of murderers consisting entirely of "Oh That Guy"'s tangle with a vicious killing machine. We're...

" What heads we were able to salvage from the Santos Morales were pretty decomposed, but they all were missing their hypothalamus... es." Let's talk about the kathoga in the room. For the first half of our NO FLICKS GIVEN series with Fix-a-Flick hosts Connor & Peter, Frank decided to punish us. Is it a murder mystery? A monster slasher? If 78% of the frame weren't too dark to see, we might have been able to answer that question. As to it's quality...well, maybe just tune in. Subscribe...

The one night a year where we can pretend to be the scariest thing we think of. "Winds in the east... there's a mist comin' in... like somethin' is brewin'... and 'bout to begin..." This week, we take a look at an oft-forgotten, direct-to-video release that might've become a modern classic if it debuted in the streaming era. We won't bury the lede here, Trick 'r Treat should be in your Halloween film rotation ASAP. Wanna know why? Turn off the lights, spike your hot cider, and tune in as we...

No guest for this one (there's no one we can think of that we hate enough to make them watch this trash movie). Welcome to what is hopefully the last conversation ANYONE will have on the 2001 film Evolution, a bargain bin Ghostbusters rip-off that doesn't check a single box to be worth a revisit. Sorry this is sounding harsher than I mean it - you gotta understand, we just watched this film, recording a full hour talking about it, then had to spend time editing that conversation, so we've...

A midwestern American in the 1300s does medieval battle against the slimiest of bearded slimeballs and his horrifying mom/witch. This week we revisit a forgotten blockbuster, the 2nd biggest movie of 1991 after Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Kevin Costner stars as the fabled Robin of Locksley, in this dark retelling a veteran of the Crusades returned home to find Alan Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham poised to claim the throne of England. With one of the greatest movie themes and one of the...

Things sure turned out different. In what way? Different. Our summer hours continue as we tackle one of its dog-day classics. For 40 years we've lived with the idea that it could be the best in the genre. Friend of the pod, baseball fan, (and member of the Matt CClub) Matt Cowan joins us to revisit this pastoral classic.  Is it a 5-tool film? Did it need to spend more time in AAA Scranton? Will you ever get the theme song out of your head? Only one way to find out.  Subscribe and rate us...

Manners. Maketh. Man. Just a little lax on our release schedule as things open up and weather gets warmer, but we're back with an...old? New. New classic. In a renaissance of comic book movies, this one did well, but didn't seem to percolate like the MCU. Sure, it got a sequel (which we talk about) and is getting a soft reboot (which we're cautiously optimistic about), but what endeared us to the concept in the first place? Maybe tune us in while you sit down with a martini. Gin, of course....

Kirk Douglas, Farrah Fawcett, and Harvey Keitel walk into a space station. I forget the rest of the joke, but the punchline involves a robot and cake. Ever heard of this one? Even Matt hadn't, and that's saying something. Our hosts have a lot of questions, but thankfully returning guest Mike Simses (2010: The Year We Make Contact) has the answers. We spend this feature-length episode dissecting the anatomy of a movie that should have been a hit in theory, but serves as a fascinating...

Antonio Banderas accompanies some Norsemen to stop the attacks by a hellish pack of bloodthirsty invaders. Who lives? Who dies? Who tells their story? Probably Seamus Heaney at some point. We're back after our brief excursion to Starfleet to talk about The 13th Warrior, an often forgotten film, so much so that most people don't even realize it's meant to be a retelling of the epic story of Beowulf. Joining Matt and Frank for this #deepdive is Andrew Radespiel, part-time lawyer and full-time...

Kirk, Spock, Doctor McCoy, and Ensign Ricky must broker peace between the Western Democracy Metaphor and the Eastern Bloc Soviet Metaphor. Hilarity ensues. Also murder.

We bring you our hot take on the 1997 forgotten mess "Shazam", starring Sinbad and Martin Short. Joining us once again is the one-and-only Patrick H. Willems (previously on our episode on The Shadow), who brought us a movie that certainly no one is...

Adventurer Rick O'Connell (and his family) race an immortal Egyptian mummy to be the one to destroy the Scorpion King, an insectoid WWE wrestler with Barbie Doll-textured skin.

We're not your classic heroes, we're the other guys.

Houston, we have a problem.

We're trying something new for this holiday season. Your No Flicks Given heroes are coming face-to-face with one of the worst,  my depressing Christmas movies in recent memory: One Magic Christmas. And this isn't a journey we can all take alone, so...

Another No Flicks Given to make your holiday cheer soar! This time Fix-a-Flick's Connor comes to us with an impossible problem to solve: how do you make Die Hard 2 (Die Harder) good? Can it be done? Is it just a matter of more naked Tai Chi? The No...

Julia Roberts fakes her death and hides in Iowa to escape a psychopathic mustache and the man attached to it.You can all blame Amanda for this one - a 90s marital thriller centered around Julia Roberts hot off the success of Pretty Woman. A movie so...

The president's got a girlfriend...We're back to help everybody get through this election day, I mean week, I mean month. Today we revisit Aaron Sorkin's The American President, the basis of what would become the West Wing and also a fantastic Rob...

Three kids chase the ghost of their friend through the history of Halloween...with some sort of soul-collector guide?
