"The Chicago Way" (The Untouchables)

"Fear is the Mind Killer" (Dune)

This episode we discuss Denis Villeneuve's Dune. The film is the third adaptation of the 1965 epic science fiction novel by author Frank Herbert. Does the star-studded lineup including Timothée Chalame [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timoth%C3%A9e_Chalamet]t, Rebecca Ferguson [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Ferguson], Oscar Isaac [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_Isaac], Josh Brolin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Brolin], Stellan Skarsgård [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellan_Skarsg%C3%A5rd], Dave Bautista [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Bautista], Zendaya [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zendaya], Jason Momoa [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Momoa], and Javier Bardem [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Javier_Bardem], do the film justice? Can a Syfy film with source material almost 60 years old appeal to modern audiences? WE break it down and put it through the Littness Test.

"Just a Man. Here to kill a scorpion." (Harder they Fall)

This episode the crew reviews the Notorious 9, BKA the revisionist western film The Harder They Fall. The all-black cast was a refreshing sight to see in the western genre but how does the film stand on its own besides the star power? Does the plethora of A and B list actors help or hurt the film? With nods to spaghetti westerns, blaxploitation, action and comedy, where does it land?

"Your Move, Creep" (RoboCop)

The discussion this week centers around the man of steel, no, not THAT one. RoboCop. Does the 1987  film starring  Peter Weller do what its programmed to do? With a somewhat recent remake (2014), how high did the original set the bar? Also, Kurtwood Smith b.k.a Red Forman's dark past.

"The Chicago Way" (The Untouchables)

In episode 6,  we review Brian De Palmas star-studded crime drama, The Untouchables. Released in 1987, we revisit prohibition-era Chicago and give our thoughts on Sean Connerys oscar-winning performance and answer the question, was Kevin Costner's Elliot Ness the hero or villain?

G. Smith and King Dave revisit Ghotham City in Tim Burtons 1989 Batman. How does the classic film hold up against diffrent versions weve seen recently? Was Michael Keaton'sGotham dramitic portrayol of bruce Wayne too drab portrayal too dramatic? Is this a Batman film or a Joker film WITH Batman? We discuss.
