  • Does How to Train Your Dragon Hold Up To Its Original + Does James Gunn Talk Too Much Online- EP 166
    Jun 20 2025

    Does the How to Train your Dragon live-action remake hit the heights of the original, or does it fail and join the ranks of some many remakes before it?

    Dragons is our feature discussion this week, but things get fiery elsewhere as we get into honorary Oscars (congrats, Tom Cruise), and the latest bit of casting news for the DCU’s CLAYFACE along with the current state of news vs. rumors in the film world.

    We catch up on the latest SUMMER MOVIE WAGER update and make some lil bets for next week’s box office outcome. Can Pixar’s Elio reign supreme, or will 28 Years Later give us a surprise?!

    Plus we catch up on the latest trailers for The Naked Gun and Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere!

    And, of course, we catch up on what we’re into, from Predator: Killer of Killers to Wes Anderson’s The Phoenician Scheme!

    It's a hearty discussion with strong opinions, and as always, we want to hear yours on the subjects. So be sure to tune or check us out on youtube, like and subscribe, and let us know your thoughts!
