On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we're talking about the perfect antihero, what makes one our favorite, and whether we have too many or too little of these characters in entertainment. Antiheroes seem to be the fan-favorites, so what is it about them that we love or connect to so much?

Also this week, we discuss Harrison Ford's entrance into the MCU, Amazon bringing NFL to their streaming platform and their Lord of the Rings hit, and good ole' Martin Scorsese complains again. And if you've seen Halloween Ends, Aaron and Amanda share their SPOILER thoughts on the trilogy's conclusion.

"Remake This Movie RIGHT!" is a bi-weekly podcast where we take a classic film that is actively being remade by Hollywood studio execs, and craft our own version of how a modern retelling should go. Does the story need updating? Should characters or motives be tweaked? Do we need more muppets? We take all factors into account, concoct our film, and then offer a Final Pitch to you in movie trailer form. By the end of each episode, we will Remake This Movie RIGHT!

Then be sure to stick around as we jump into Colin Trevorrow’s attempt to rejuvenate the Jurassic Park franchise with Jurassic World. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard star as two park staff fighting to fend off an attack on Isla Nublar by the newly modified Indominus Rex. Does the movie work?

 Why do movie trailers lie to us?

We recently discussed marketing in today’s films. As that was a very wide-ranging conversation, one of our listeners – John - asked us to elaborate on movie trailers themselves. Specifically, those trailers that painted an awful film as brilliance or made a great film look like hot, sticky garbage. As we discuss movie trailers and the lies they tell, we also focus on those trailers that duped us personally. Join in on the discussion and listen to the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider.

What is better storytelling in telvision: Procedurals or Serialized?

Television has continued to evolve, as we as a culture have. Where we once sat together every night as a complete family unit, only watching whatever safe TV show was on one of our 3 channels, we now have THOUSANDS of options every night on hundreds of network, cable, and streaming channels. As television has evolved, so has how it is told. One of our listeners, Rex, recently asked us to discuss the differences between procedural and serialized television. Specifically, what are the positives and negatives to both? As we dive into it, we also discuss our favorites in both and what makes them so exceptional in this regard. Join in on the discussion and listen to this very topic on the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider.

“Tomorrowland” follows Casey (Britt Robertson), a teen prodigy with a NASA engineer dad and an abundance of curiosity. After a random encounter with a mysterious pin that seems to transport her to a magical world, Casey sets off to find a former boy-genius inventor Frank (George Clooney), who could possibly help her solve this elusive enigma. They set off on a journey of dire circumstances, yet also one of hope.

For this special episode of The Hollywood Outsider, Aaron is joined by Troy Heinritz (The Blacklist ExposedUnder the Dome Radio) to discuss the film in detail. From their initial, spoiler-free, thoughts to their more detailed reactions to director Brad Bird's bold new world.

Will families enjoy this? Did the minimal exposure to the actual film through marketing ultimately help or hurt the film? What did we think of Robertson, Clooney, and Hugh Laurie? Does the world electrify us in the way that Walt Disney and his films have so often managed to pull off? Most importantly - What are the critics missing on this one?

All this, and much more, is discussed on this special episode. Tomorrowland is an explosion of imagination that reminds us of early Spielberg. Whether you enjoyed the film, disliked it, or maybe even are still debating seeing it - this discussion is for you!

Mad Max: Fury Road is director George Miller's return to the world he created in 1979 when Mel Gibson first burst onto the scene. This time, Tom Hardy steps into Max's boots in a tale of an estranged cult follower (Charlize Theron) attempting to break the concubines of Immortan Joe (Hugh Keyes-Byrne) free. What follows is the very definition of a non-stop action opus! 

For this special episode of The Hollywood Outsider Podcast, Aaron and Scott discuss their reactions to what many are calling the masterpiece of the summer. Does it live up to the hype? Are people once again blind to the truth? Or could this be the bombastic thrill we've been waiting for? Take a listen and find out!

For this special interview, Aaron sat down to talk to the director of the new documentary, “Misery Loves Comedy“, Kevin Pollak. Yes, THAT Kevin Pollak. You know the famous actor and comedian from classics such as “A Few Good Men” and “The Usual Suspects”, as well as his numerous other film and television credits, or possibly you know him from his own “Chat Show”, where Kevin speaks with other famous, creative talents.

For our conversation, Kevin is here to discuss his new film, “Misery Loves Comedy”. What is his “Misery” about? Here is the official synopsis:

Jimmy Fallon, Tom Hanks, Amy Schumer, Jim Gaffigan, Judd Apatow, Lisa Kudrow, Larry David, and Jon Favreau are among over 60 famous funny people featured in this hilarious twist on the age-old truth: misery loves company. In-depth, candid interviews with some of the most revered comedy greats who each share their unique path and a life devoted to making strangers laugh.

With arresting anecdotes and insights from the comedy underbelly that reveal a performer’s deep desire to connect with audiences, Kevin Pollak’s MISERY LOVES COMEDY is the definitive master class on the art of humor that details a comedian’s rare ability to help us understand life as only they can.

That is the official description. What we will tell you is that this is the closest we have ever been to truly understanding what makes a comic, a comic. Why would anyone want to spend every day of their lives trying to make someone else laugh? Were they always a comedian, or were they simply masking their pain? Finally, does a person have to be miserable, to be truly funny? This film answers all of those questions.

Kevin and Aaron discuss “Misery Loves Comedy” in detail. From why Kevin wanted to make a film on such a personal topic, to some of the creative directions he chose for the film, and even how he managed to snag every high-profile comedian for the film! The film itself is a wonderfully insightful exploration into the psyche of a comedian. Of many comedians, in fact.weI highly recommend checking the film out, which is available now on iTunes and On Demand, and is releasing to theaters beginning April 24th.

A charming guy and a brilliant talent, it was a pleasure to talk to Kevin about “Misery Loves Comedy”, and we hope you guys enjoy the interview as much as we did.

Sometimes a film is more than a film. Other times a movie is simply something meant to cause you and your friends to laugh and scream. And then there are those films that make no sense, that somehow think they are smarter than everyone else, and some yahoo slaps the tag of 'Art' on them. We discuss these 'art' films this week, those movies people consistently remind you that you, in fact, 'do not get it'.

Discussed on this episode of The Hollywood Outsider Movie and TV Podcast:

  • Our topic this week: Movies that are so confounding they are labeled as 'Art'
  • Upcoming releases including Child 44, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2, Unfriended, and Monkey Kingdom
  • Spoiler-free reviews of Unfriended and Daredevil
  • The latest in Movie and TV News including:  Need for Speed gets a sequel, The Haunted Mansion gets a reboot, Rocky Horror Picture Show gets a new coat of lipstick, and much more

With Paul Walker's passing triggering a necessary change in the Fast and Furious franchise, we decided to take a look at the phenomenon of a TV or film series having to decide on recasting a character. Sometimes it is due to loss, but many other times it is due to an actor's ego or selfish needs. So when an actor departs, how do you know when it should be recast versus just letting the character go?

Last year around Valentine’s Day, we talked a bit about love and what warms the cockles of our hearts. We are doing that again this year, but a little different.

So, you’re watching a movie about a relationship. A comedy, drama, action spectacle, whatever it is. And then something happens that takes you aback, or maybe makes you realize these two should be with anyone else on the planet other than each other. This week, we’re talking about movies where the couples just don’t work. Sometimes the stars have no chemistry, and other times the writing is just awful. This is when romance goes wrong.

We have all see those films where someone new moves in, or comes knocking at the door, or starts babysitting, or we have a torrid affair with…and they seem awfully normal. Then, as the movie unfolds, we realize they are as crazy as the day is long and need to be put down with a quickness. On this episode of The HO, we are discussing these seemingly normal psychos; what terrifies them about us and what would tip us off if we lived in the film. Also, who is our favorite movie psychopath?

The Walking Dead Season 4 is the focus of this special episode of The Hollywood Outsider Podcast! Join us as we take a look back at all of Season 4, from life at the prison to traversing the tracks en route to Terminus. Is Rick a leader now? Are we finally ok with Carl?

All of this and much more as we recap the entire fourth season of AMC's The Walking Dead for you to catch you up just in time for Season 5!

Michonne is on the hunt for the elusive Governor, Carl is growing consistently frustrated with his dad, and Carol is becoming much less tolerant for things that could lead the groups demise. We discuss the varying themes this season including disease in an apocalypse, what IS Terminus, and especially: What would you really do with a screaming baby in a land of zombies?

Director Don Thacker is an independent filmmaker on the move. His first film, Motivational Growth, has garnered the attention of many critics and fans alike through its existential look at absurdity. The film's main character, Ian, is a man living in self-imposed isolation. One day, through a curious set of events, Ian begains receiving live lessons from The Mold (voiced by genre legend Jeffrey Combs).

Don stops by The Hollywood Outsider to discuss his film, the films he loves, and most importantly - Why he loves movies! This is a very fun and engaging interview and one that every fan of film, and especially independent filmmaking, will love. Enjoy our conversation with writer / director Don Thacker.

Jumping the shark is a popular term these days for when a TV show or film series makes a ridiculous plot point that forever dooms it to mockery, named after an infamous Happy Days episode where Fonzie literally jumps a shark.

For this episode of The Hollywood Outsider, we are discussing Actors who have figuratively 'jumped the shark' in their careers. They were one respected, the best of the best! Then, maybe they chose a few clunkers or mouthed off to law enforcement, and now their careers are in shambles. How does this happen to such talented actors and especially, who are the prime examples? These questions and more are answered on this week's show!

Also discussed this week on The Hollywood Outsider Movie and TV Podcast:

This week The Hollywood Outsider presents a special episode in which Justin has a spoiler free conversation with James Ward Byrkit, writer/director of the science fiction film COHERENCE. On the night of an astronomical anomaly, eight friends at a dinner party experience a troubling chain of reality bending events. Part cerebral sci-fi and part relationship drama, COHERENCE is a tightly focused, intimately shot film that quickly ratchets up with tension and mystery. James Byrkit was a delight to talk to, incredibly informative, and we hope to see more from this talented filmmaker in the future.

Our topic this week: Movie and TV Teams. With Guardians of the Galaxy hitting theaters, we decided to take a look at what makes for a great film or television team, what makes for a bad one, and even who our favorites are. Does yours make the list? Listen to our latest show and find out!

Speaking of Guardians of the Galaxy, we discuss the impending release of James Gunn's take on the intergalactic Marvel comic. Will this be the next Star Wars, or John Carter? That isn't the only film we're discussing this week, though, as the James Brown biopic Get On Up is also hitting theaters. Can James Brown hold strong with a Marvel property? Listen in to hear what we think.

Reviews this week are limited to two films. The first is The Purge Anarchy. This sequel to last year's horror flick takes a much different route. Instead of confining our victims indoors, Frank Grillo and his merry band roam the streets of the city during the country's annual 12 purge. We also review Sex Tape, the new Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz comedy. It is striving to be raunchy, does it live up to it?

Another chance at What's This Movie awaits, as well as the latest in Movie and TV news. Finally, at the end of this week's show, we discuss what it feels like to hit our 3 year anniversary with this episode! Don't miss the latest Hollywood Outsider!

Tremors and Short Circuit Screenwriter S.S. Wilson joins Aaron and Justin to discuss his Hollywood career in this special episode of The Hollywood Outsider! Following our long-standing debate from way back on Episode 103 of The HO over whether or not Tremors is science-fiction, Steve...the creator of Tremors himself...agreed to come on and squash this debate once and for all.

During his engaging interview, Steve discusses working in Hollywood, from where he received his start in filmmaking all the way through to the current climate of remakes and sequels. He discusses his novels (Fraidy Cats and Tucker's Monster) as well as several of the films he has worked on: Tremors, Short Circuit, Batteries Not Included, Heart and Souls, and even Wild Wild West. He shares stories of working with Steven Spielberg, director Ron Underwood, the Tremors phenomenon, and even offers some intriguing behind-the-scenes info into Kevin Bacon's take on his infamous Tremors role.

An insighful interview with such an infectiously genuine guy, you will have a great time listening to Steve as he recounts his own storied career. Listen and enjoy our exclusive interview with screenwriter, author, producer and director S.S. Wilson!

Be sure to check out S.S. WIlson's novels and films through his production company 'Stampede Entertainment' - http://www.stampede-entertainment.com/home.html

Our topic this week: Action Heroines. The culture has changed so much over the last decade, getting closer and closer to action equality. We thought, why not take a serious look as some of these ultimate ass-kickers and see how far we've come! We also offer up our favorite Film or TV action heroines...does yours make the list? Listen in to find out.

We look ahead to upcoming releases: In Hercules, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson seeks to hammer his name into yet another franchise as the titular character in Brett Ratner's take on the mythical hero. Lucy brings director Luc Besson together with Scarlett Johansson and Morgan Freeman in an action thriller about a woman who has had her mind opened to its full capacity, with devastating results.

For reviews this week, we have movie and television aplenty! Dawn of the Planet of the Apes gets a proper run through, while Scott and Aaron think you should invest some time in Video Games: The Movie, a documentary on a topic you could probably guess. Guillermo del Toro's The Strain has finally hit FX screens, and we have a bit to say on this new gore-fest. Halle Berry returns to TV in Extant, an attempt to break through to the Sci-Fi audience on CBS...does it work? We'll let you know. We also offer a few parting thoughts on 24 Live Another Day.

All of this and still a little bit more! Brian's Trailer Park offers up Big Hero 6 and Unbroken, two completely different films that might be worth your time when they are released later this year. Another great episode of The Hollywood Outsider is now in the books! Please share the episode with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ or social media outlet you crazy kids are using these days.

This special episode of The Hollywood Outsider is all about director Michael Bay. No other director in Hollywood is as savagely attacked by critics and ticket buyers alike as Michael Bay. From the Transformers series, to Bad Boys, and even to Pearl Harbor: We take a look at the man's work and examine why it is that people loathe him so much...as well as do his films truly deserve such attacks? For our latest special episode in the HOs After Dark series, Michael Bay himself is on trial...and you can judge for yourself.
