After Erik came up with Gremlins 2 as his underrated pick, we decided to watch as much as director Joe Dante's filmography as possible and thought that he was underrated enough to warrant a bonus episode discussion. An integral part of the 80s Blockbuster movement along with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Robert Zemeckis, we believe that he doesn't get as much credit as some of the other big names from the era. Therefore, we wanted to give this Looney Tunes and 50s B-movies-inspired...

In this new episode of Over/Under Movies, a podcast where we review one overrated and one underrated film, Erik, Ryan, and Oktay catches sequel fever and dig into two blockbuster sequels from the very late 80s (One of them technically counts as being from the very early 90s, but whatevs). The movie picks for this episode comes courtesy of Erik. First we discuss whether or not Back to the Future Part II is a good film or even a good sequel on its own, regardless of how fun and crazy it might...

For this new episode, Erik, Ryan, and Oktay head into the unforgiving American frontier as they discuss three Westerns told from a female perspective. First off, instead of one overrated pick, our critics offer two films for the price of one. They delve into both the 1969 and the 2010 versions of Charles Portis' classic Western revenge novel, True Grit. They try to answer the question, "If a remake is better than the original in every possible way, can it still be overrated?" Then, it's...

"The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door." - Fredrick Brown It's time for Oktay, Erik, and Ryan to wallow in their manly loneliness in a post apocalyptic hellscape as they drive around Manhattan in a corvette, hunting dear, and talking to mannequins. Then, they try their best to make sense out of a New Zealand where every other living thing disappeared without a trace. Maybe they forgot that the Return of the King premiere was taking place in Wellington at...

We're changing things up a bit at Over/Under Movies this time around so instead of talking about one overrated and one underrated movie as usual, we're focusing on the early work of a lesser-known but talented director that at least one of our co-hosts thinks is underrated. That director is Ben Wheatley, who uses his low budget but impressively beautiful mumblecore-style digital cinematography skills to create equally hilarious and disturbing stories about British working class folks going...

In this new episode of Over/Under Movies, where we pick apart one overrated and one underrated film, we dive into the criminal underbelly of 70s Harlem. And who better to do that than three film critics from the Pacific Northwest? First off, we talk about 1972's Across 110th Street, which grittily depicts the investigation of a robbery during a 24-hour period. Is it a simple Blaxploitation film the way its reputation suggests, or is there something deep underneath? Then, we find ourselves...

It's Spielberg vs Spielberg in this episode of Over/Under Movies, as the gang dig deep into two Spielberg sci-fi efforts in hopes of finding either a tripod that can disintegrate them into dust or a robot boy who's been frozen for a couple of millennia. First, we talk about Spielberg's misguided HG Wells adaptation War of the Worlds, which was a big hit when it came out in 2005 and got forgotten down the line, perhaps for some good reasons? Are one of those reasons the fact that Tom Cruise...

It gets hot and steamy in the podcast room as Erik, Ryan, and Oktay discuss two erotic thrillers from the 90s. First, we buy an icepick from K-Mart and crack into Basic Instinct, the 1992 mega hit that kickstarted the erotic thriller craze, which dominated a good chunk of that decade. Did Paul Verhoeven's tongue-in-cheek direction come close to saving Joe Eszterhas' terrible screenplay? Next, we move onto more level-headed and less juvenile territory as we dig into Crash, David Cronenberg's...
