Beneath the Screen of the Ultra-Critics The Fandomentals

The gang's all here. Back from a hiatus and ready to talk about all the ways not to watch movies. Because, believe it or not, some people are doing it wrong.

This month we hand the reigns over to Kara as we look at two of her picks: Nightbreed (Director's Cut) and Return to Oz.

Kara, Thad, and Jeremiah take a look at two Nick Hornby adaptations: "High Fidelity" and "Juliet, Naked", and look at how they portray fandom and toxic masculinity.

The trio discusses two films by creature designer and director Keita Amemiya: Zeiram (1991) and Mechanical Violator Hakaider (1995).

Y'all really thought January 1 was going to be your clean slate to hear no more about "Christmas movies". HAH. Jeremiah, Thad, and Kara kick off 2023 by arguing about Batman Returns and The Long Kiss Goodnight.

Thad, Kara, and Jeremiah sit down and look at two similar movies with drastically different tones. This week we look at Shane Black's 2016 THE NICE GUYS and Steven Soderbergh's 2021 NO SUDDEN MOVE.
