81: Deep Dive - Delicious Garbage Movies

What makes a movie garbage? What makes it delicious? What makes it delicious garbage? If you've wondered that at any point before or since reading this episode's title then this episode is for you! We will be debating definitions for the delicious garbage category, reviewing the Party Test, and most importantly, listing movies that fall into and out of this category. This is an unhinged episode and if you want to come on this ride, join us in The Steam Room Film Podcast!

80: Instant React - Solo A Star Wars Story

"We just recorded the podcast about the Kessel Run in 2 hours!" *Wookiee noise* "Not if you round down!" Happy Mandalorian And Grogu release day everyone! To celebrate the release of the first Star Wars movie in seven years we're reviewing the only Star Wars movie we haven't already covered, the controversial yet forgotten Solo A Star Wars Story. Since it's the finale of our Star Wars review series we are also doing a full ranking of the Star Wars movies and ranking our top ten best and worst Star Wars scenes.

79: Keep Up - The Animated Barbie Movies

In 2001 a toy company decided to turn Barbie into a movie star, and from there they made not one, not two, not three, but THIRTY SEVEN animated Barbie movies. In today's episode we at the Steam Room Film podcast take a look at this series of movies and along the way find magic, fun, and maybe even some healing. As a bonus, if you stay until the end of the episode you'll get a brief discussion of the upcoming Hunger Games movie! So get your nutcracker and your love for ballet and join us today in The Steam Room Film Podcast!

78: Watchalong - Allegiant

Normally in the description we would put a quote from the movie a la Blank Check, but this movie is so forgettable that no quotes could be found. In lieu of that we'll quote Wikipedia:  "It was set to be the first of two cinematic parts based on the 2013 novel Allegiant of the Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth (the second cinematic part was to be named Ascendant)...It received generally negative reviews from critics, who criticized the lack of originality, character development, and the decision to split the film into two parts...Following budget cuts, a theatrical release for Ascendant was dropped in favor of reconfiguring the project as a television film for Starz...Both projects were later canceled, effectively ending the franchise." And...yeah watching the movie, it's quite obvious why it killed the franchise. We could not bear to watch this movie and then record a full episode on it, so instead, this is a watchalong in which we share our live thoughts as we watch the movie! So you can enjoy this as a commentary track as you watch your own copy of the movie, or just listen as we describe the movie and complain along the way. May the odds be ever in your favor in this episode of The Steam Room Film Podcast!

77: It Takes Two - Pocahontas and Avatar

Is this the most obvious It Takes Two we've ever done? Maybe, but just as Jake Sully had to make a choice between the humans and the Navi, so did we have to choose between this episode or the Barbie Princess movies (which we will release this year, in case you're wondering). So, in today's episode we review Disney's 1995 animated film Pocahontas alongside its 2009 reimagining Avatar. Did James Cameron do a better job than Pocahontas' 27 credited writers? Did Pepsi adapt the finale of Pocahontas for one of their ads? And most importantly, how does Avatar rank alongside the Star Wars movies? We discuss these questions and more today, so connect your hair with a flying beast and join us today in The Steam Room Film Podcast!
