That Film Stew Podcast

Directed by Ridley Scott, Alien is the science fiction horror film based on a story by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett. Jason and Rob rewind to 1979 to review the movie that horrifically demonstrated that in space no one can hear you scream and kicked off a media franchise of films, books, video games, and toys. It may even be the film responsible for propelling the acting career of lead actress Sigourney Weaver. In deep space, the crew of the commercial starship Nostromo is awakened from their cryo-sleep capsules halfway through their journey home to investigate a distress call from an alien vessel. The terror begins when the crew encounters a nest of eggs inside the alien ship. An organism from inside an egg leaps out and attaches itself to one of the crew, causing him to fall into a coma.

Written and directed by Jon Watts, Wolfs is the action comedy film starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt. The movie is out now on Apple+. Two rival fixers (Clooney and Pitt) cross paths when they're both called in to help cover up a prominent New York official's misstep. Over one explosive night, they'll have to set aside their petty grievances and their egos to finish the job.

We're still asking what that asterisk means as we check out the first trailer for Marvel's Thunderbolts*, Teen Titans Go's Robin will be pleased as they have finally announced a Robin movie, Matchbox or Hotwheels (choose a side), and "meshaloob blursh", the Sims movie is greenlit. We have our newest (or rather oldest) Green Lantern, Velma continues to haunt us, and Robocop is back to serve the public trust, protect the innocent, and uphold the law.

Directed by S. K. Dale, Subservience is the sci-fi thriller film starring Megan Fox. Alice (Megan Fox) is a lifelike artificially intelligent android who has the ability to take care of any family and home. Looking for help with the housework, a struggling father (Michele Morrone) purchases Alice after his wife becomes sick. Alice suddenly becomes self-aware and wants everything her new family has to offer, starting with the affection of her owner – and she’ll kill to get it.

Primarily directed by Victor Fleming, The Wizard of Oz is the musical fantasy film which adapts L. Frank Baum's 1900 children's fantasy novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Rob and Jason rewind to 1939 to celebrate the magical characters, the iconic songs, and all things Technicolor in this 85 year old MGM classic. When a tornado rips through Kansas, Dorothy (Judy Garland) and her dog, Toto, are whisked away in their house to the magical land of Oz. They follow the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City to meet the Wizard, and en route they meet a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) that needs a brain, a Tin Man (Jack Haley) missing a heart, and a Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) who wants courage. The wizard asks the group to bring him the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) to earn his help.
