  • BOOMCAST #31 - REMAKES AND REBOOTS #2 - THE FOG
    Jul 25 2025

    In 1980 Director John Carpenter released one of the finest ghost stories in cinema. 25 years later the film was remade, following the same blueprint for the most part while introducing new elements. Ben Lewandowski and I attempt to examine both films and offer our insights. Was the newer version up to snuff? Is the original a true classic? A must listen for Carpenter fans. Lots of discussion. Lots of fun. Let's go!

  • BOOMCAST #29 - THE CINEMA SAVIORS - MOVIE VAULT PROJECT #4
    May 26 2025

    Yes, it has been awhile. Apologies. I've been busy with other creative endeavours but I'll always circle back to the BOOMCAST!

    This is the 4th MOVIE VAULT PROJECT episode, where I'm joined once again with the other Cinema Saviours CLINT CHAFFER and CHAD WEEKS. If you are not aware, the U.S. Government has commissioned us to save 50% of all the major films ever made due to the unfortunate fact that an asteroid is approaching and the chances of society being wiped out is roughly 50/50. Due to storage space issues, I guess, the other half will be condemned to be forgotten. Will we pick the right films? Weigh in on our decisions!

    This episodes films are: THE FIFTH ELEMENT, SUPER 8, HOUSE OF 1000 CORPSES, 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN, ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13, HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN TEN DAYS, GONE IN 60 SECONDS, 300, DISTRICT 9, OCEANS 11, 3000 MILES TO GRACELAND, 2012, 1408, 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, 13 GHOSTS, 12 ANGRY MEN, 8MM, THREE KINGS, 16 CANDLES and THREE MEN AND A BABY.
