Zack Snyder's Justice League

 

This week on Box Office Battle we cover all four hours of Zack Snyder's Justice League. Is it better than the original? Will it reopen the Snyderverse? Will Batman brandish guns like he's in Boondock Saints? The answers lie within the podcast.

Moon vs Predestination

 

This episode of Box Office Battle centers on films where the main characters are all the same person. First Sam Rockwell is an astronaut who rescues someone and discovers that they're the same person in Moon. Then Sarah Snook/Ethan Hawke play a woman/man who is their own lover, mother, father, child, protagonist and killer in the time travel movie Predestination.

Brick vs Shaft (2019)

 

This week on the podcast the theme is movies where Richard Roundtree has a cameo. First is a detective noir film set in high school with Joseph Gordon Levitt, Brick. In the other corner is the fifth Shaft movie, but the third called Shaft, 2019's Shaft. 

Weird Science vs The Stepford Wives (1975)

This week the theme of the podcast is movies where men create women. First Wyatt and Gary use their computer to create a smoke show that has magical powers and bends to their every whim in Weird Science. Then, tackling misogyny in a very different way, we discuss 1975's The Stepford Wives where Joanna is forced by her husband to move away from her life in New York only to give up her very identity in this classic film.

Miller's Crossing vs Harlem Nights

 

This episode of the podcast has Gabriel Byrne starring in the gangster Coen Brothers Film that doesn't give you the high hat...Miller's Crossing. Then Eddie Murphy's passion project with Richard Pryor and Red Foxx gets a second look in Harlem Nights. We're doing films with underground gambling this week.

Cronos vs The Man From Earth

 

This week on the podcast the them is tales of immortality. First up: Guillermo Del Toro's feature film debut, Cronos. A grandfather comes to posses a device that will allow him to live forever. But as the blood lust builds you're left to wonder if it's worth the price. Then we cover the indie film The Man from Earth. A professor is leaving town, and reluctantly admits to his circle of friends that he has been alive since the days of the cavemen...which goes hand in hand with a shocking revelation.
