Movie Bonerz

John Wick holds such a special place in our hearts, that it's incredible to look back and realize it came so close to never happening so many times. This episode we thank Keanu Reeves for his dedication and for saving and transforming action movies not once, but TWICE! We dive deep into spoilers of all four movies, and try to emphasize the lore and meanings of each character in this high-fantasy world with gritty, real world vi...

After enjoying our first ever Fog Day celebration last year, as April 21st approached again we wanted to take things to the next level. It sounded like a good idea to try the next generation with the remake. That was before we realized it has a 3.7 out of 10 on IMDb. We try our best to make sense of things and see the bright side, but still come away with a ton of questions and so many issues. It's a really fun time though, analyzi...

For the last couple months, we've been struggling to narrow down our top 10 movie directors of all time. Well we think we've done as good as we can do, so join us as we present which ones we feel the most impacted by, and are the most consistently amazing directors working today, and with a long backlog of history defining films. Before that, review three very confusing but very real April Fool's Day movie news. Dustin gives his sp...

Three months in, we finally hold the 2025 Movie Draft, where we try to select (what we hope will be) thirty of the biggest and best movies of the year to our teams. We'll track progress and major matchups throughout the 2025 season, and talk a whole lot of trash. We also recap what went right and what went very wrong for both of us in 2024 and crown a champion who gets to take home the belt! Before that though, Dustin gives spoiler...

At long last, awards season can come to a close! The Movie Bonerz Awards is meant to be the final word on all the madness, and clear up several controversies and snubs the more "household name" shows missed out on. There's a lot they got wrong, and there's a lot we need to set right, so that 2024 can be remembered accurately as the year it was. We put the nominations and votes to you the fans to help decide the wi...

It's good to be back! We've missed you terribly. A lot has happened in the past nearly 5 months, and we've watched a lot of new movies in that time as well. We knock the dust off by sharing spoiler-free thoughts on all the things we've been watching, while teasing some controversial opinions leading up to the 2024 Movie Bonerz Awards next episode. You can also join us during the awards LIVE on YouTube, Friday March 7th at 7:15pm MT...

2024 is a big year for LOST fans! The show had a major impact on us individually (possibly more than any other), and also is a huge factor that contributed to us becoming friends in the first place. We tackle the huge challenge of discussing the most amount of content and characters we've ever taken on in an episode. Even though we can't cover everything, we do go through all the high and low points of the vast cast of char...

It's the largest movie industry in the world with the most new movies produced every year, and yet, neither of us have ever taken the time to sit and watch one. It was a glaring gap in our ⁠Top 10: Foreign Films⁠ episode, and we knew we had to make amends. So we found 10 highly-recommended movies spanning different genres, regions, and time periods in Indian cinema history. We were prepared for some foreign language movies but ...

Our second guest co-host, Alien-lover, and prestigious podcaster: Martin from the Film vs. Film Podcast. We're getting more and more excited for Fede Alvarez to return the Alien franchise to its horror roots, complete with some amazing practical effects. To prepare, we thought we should return to the three movies that come before Romulus in the timeline: Prometheus, Alien: Covenant, and Alien. We try to give you everything you need...

We've got an extremely vengeful episode in store for you! A few people have asked for this over the last year or so, which made us keep bumping it up our backlog of ideas. So glad it's finally here. We bring a ton of movies with a surprising variety of styles and reasons for justifiable vendettas. Some are serious, some are very fun, and a couple can only be described as "insane" in the best way possible.

For the first time ever, we have a special guest host join us! We know Liz is a great movie fact researcher and loves conspiracy theories, so she was really the only choice for this topic. Fan theories are so exciting because they're another way to share our communal love of these movies, and explore new ways to enjoy them. The three of us take turns sharing and analyzing the most plausible and most divisive fan theories the in...

This episode we're celebrating all the great movies that critics just don't appreciate. There are TONS of fan favorites that have a "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes. We decide to pick the best of the so-called worst to point out how flawed the system is. After listening, we'll be asking you to vote and select a winner, so find us on Instagram and let us know!

We also give you more details on the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT teased last episod...

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY TO US! June 13th marks the anniversary of our first ever episode, where we boldly chose to make our Top 10: Action/Adventure lists. Now we're a little bit older, and a little bit wiser, so we decide to redo that topic for a few reasons: 1. the sound quality of that first episode sucked donkey dongs, 2. including adventure films really limited our action entries, and 3. we left off some movies we really should...

We are really excited about this upcoming feature film, and it was so fun getting to talk to the writer, director, editor, and overall creator: CJ Goodwyn. We talk about what goes into researching and writing a compelling mystery featuring the world's greatest detective. We also discuss balancing characters fans know and love with bringing in new, original villains. It was a very cool conversation, and you have the opportunity...

This topic has been on the list since the beginning, but we can't believe it took so long to get around to. There are SO many great movies made around the world, but they are almost never shown in American theaters, so they really rely on word-of-mouth to get noticed in the states. Well we're happy to be those mouths! Here are our favorite movies from a foreign country which (mostly) are also in a foreign language. We also ...

We were offered a fantastic opportunity to sit down with Jonathan Salemi, and pick his brain about writing, directing, and producing his film The Last Deal (out now). We talk about why he wanted to write this story, based on a real person and real events, as California ended its prohibition on marijuana. He enlightens us about what it takes to make such a great looking movie, filmed entirely without permits, in the middle of Los An...

Possibly the best remake ever attempted, we break down why the Apes trilogy works so well. One of us grew up loving the original movies, and the other didn't, but we both are so profoundly moved by the new series. We get deep into the decisions made by the filmmakers, and the powerful visuals and messages throughout Caesar's arc. We're definitely looking forward Kingdom, and are hopeful that it continues this incredible...
