Film Studies 7-14: Solo

The Star Wars spin off movies continue with Solo.  It’s the backstory of how Han became a space pirate, how he got his (apparently) infamous blaster, and even how he got his last name.  His first meetings with Lando and Chewbacca also occur in this heist-style epic.  Sean and Mark go in-depth about how this movie adds to the Star Wars mythos.

Or Is It? – Theodore Rex

Whoopi Goldberg is a tough street cop hunting down the biggest criminal mastermind threatening global safety.  To help her is Theodore Rex, a recently cloned and brought back to life dinosaur of a generic description.  Can you tell this movie came out both in the 90s and AFTER Jurassic Park?  Oh, the 90s….

Or Is It? – Pokemon: The First Movie

Gotta catch’em all.  Well, I doubt we’ll catch all of these movies but we took a look at the first one.  Ash and friends have to battle a powerful Pokemon and that’s the most I can say about it without downloading Pokemon Go.  Ready to be force fed a message against violence while watching the lowest tier of Japanese animation?  We weren’t!

Or Is It? – True Lies

We don’t need just bad movies to do an Or Is It? with.  We can use movies that we like and love from our past.  Just like True Lies!  This 90’s Arnie classic provides many WTF moments and brings in what will surely be a future favourite reference – the fed up oboe player with “fuck you money”.  Yeah, that happened.

Or Is It? – Picks from the White House – Captain America II: Death Too Soon

Scott White returns and we’ve set up his own segment of Or Is It? for him.  That’s right, it’s Picks from the White House!  This time, Scott brings the 1979 television movie event that was Captain America II: Death Too Soon.  It’s certainly the one movie Marvel is most proud of.  Well, proud that most people don’t remember anyway.  Now, I’m worried that by releasing this podcast, Disney will come after us.  Listen to the show while you still can!

Or Is It? – Bye Bye Man ***HORROR-IBLE MONTH***

This was considered one of the worst movies of 2017 so it was perfect to bring to Horror-ible Month here on Or Is It?  It’s the same cliched storyline you’ve seen hundreds of times before.  Young people, paranormal evil, one-by-one killings, and the black guy dies.  But it’s really more awful than you expect.  And we’ll tell you why.
