AIPT Movies

It’s May, which means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Mayhem” series! Where we cover movies that kick ass in the literal sense! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss 2009’s chaotic jolt of adrenaline in movie form, Crank: High Voltage!

Over the top action and visuals! A surprise kaiju battle! Disgusting sound effects! Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite! Cameos for fans of the Spice Girls, Linkin Park, Tool, and Nine Inch Nails! Jason Statham fully committing to complete lunacy! Amy Smart giving a fearless performance and delivering one of the most satisfying short fight scenes in movie history! A movie that takes (often insane and offensive) chances, coming off like a movie adaptation of a video game released by Troma! For better or worse, there’s no other movie quite like it!

In addition, Tim and Matt share their spoiler-free thoughts on Late Night with the Devil, while Alex talks about Abigail, 2019’s Charlie’s Angels, 1993’s The Fugitive, and Kurt Russell’s 1997 nailbiter, Breakdown!

It’s April, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “No EscApril” series, where we celebrate the wonder of thrillers! Not quite horror, not quite action, that sweet spot in the middle where danger is afoot, and lives are still on the line! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss Alfred Hitchock’s mistaken-identity mystery thriller, North by Northwest!

Possibly the most iconic gray suit in movie history! Classic filmmaking techniques and visual effects! A cornucopia of fantastic mid-century design and fashion, featuring the work of legendary artist Saul Bass! Cary Grant being surprisingly charming while running away from an airplane! Eva Marie Saint as an early archetype for the modern femme fatale! A fun, punchy script full of twists and suspense! A movie that not only created the template for the James Bond series, but also influenced countless other movies, such as Catch Me If You Can and Total Recall (we think)!

In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Civil War and Law Abiding Citizen!

Not quite horror, not quite action, that sweet spot in the middle where danger is afoot, and lives are still on the line! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss Daniel Craig’s first appearance as James Bond, the gritty spy action-thriller, Casino Royale!

Breathtaking stunt work that includes an incredible Parkour chase sequence! Countless exotic locations! That creepy Body Worlds exhibit! A now-classic Bond theme from the late and great Chris Cornell! Disturbing torture methods! Surprisingly tense gambling scenes thanks to veteran director Martin Campbell! A solid cast that includes Mads Mikkelsen weeping blood, Eva Green, Jeffrey Wright, an irreplaceable Judi Dench, and Daniel Craig seamlessly owning the iconic role of James Bond! A movie that adds depth and complexity to a well-established character, showing that reboots/prequels CAN work if done correctly!

In addition, Tim recommends the 2009 anime, Redline, while Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Ricky Stanicky and his beloved Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire!

It’s March, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Get Your Ass to March” series! Where we cover movies that relate to the planet Mars and/or the 1990 sci-fi classic, Total Recall! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt kick off the series by discussing another film set on that mysterious and alluring red planet, John Carpenter’s 2001 space-action-horror flick Ghosts of Mars!

Shocking deaths and beheadings! A deeply misguided attempt to impress a girl with one’s can-opening skills! A flashback within a flashback within a flashback! Creepy Mars vibes and visuals that evoke the fear of a nightmare on a dead planet! Hot Topic space-zombies with muppet voices! A possibly-miscast Natasha Henstridge! Pam Grier! Young Jason Statham with some degree of hair! Ice Cube having a lot of fun at least! A somewhat misunderstood attempt at a crowd-pleasing blockbuster from legendary director John Carpenter, that continues his impressive and distinctive work as a composer, even if it’s occasionally a little too metal for its own good!

In addition, Tim and Alex share their spoiler-free thoughts on Dune 2, while Alex talks about another late-career John Carpenter joint, Escape from L.A.!

In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt kick off the series by discussing a movie that satisfies BOTH qualifiers, Paul Verhoeven’s 1990 sci-fi classic, Total Recall!

Hologram gags! Explosive decompression! Disturbingly inhuman, cab-driving robots! A classic musical score from Jerry Goldsmith! Bone-crunching sound FX! The psychic space mutant, Kuato! The quickest divorce you’ve ever seen! Possibly the greatest human-shield in movie history! Incredible, kinda-gross-looking practical FX from the reclusive and legendary Rob Bottin! A wonderful cast that includes an unrecognizable Hank from Breaking Bad, Michael Ironside’s weird run, Ronny Cox playing his character from RoboCop, Sharon Stone and Rachel Ticotin in a rough & tumble girl fight, and Arnold Schwarzenegger delivering some of the greatest one-liners of his career! The satirical carnage of Paul Verhoeven meets the larger-than-life theatrics of an Arnold movie in this exploration of class, capitalism, and the hidden desires of the human psyche! The planet Mars never looked so good!

In addition, Alex shamefully admits that he had never seen the Nicolas Cage/John Cusack action-banger, Con-Air, until recently, and shares his spoiler-free thoughts!

It’s February, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Shredruary” series! Where we cover movies that revolve around music or musicians! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss iconic genre director Walter Hill’s 1984 Rock n’ Roll Fable, Streets of Fire!

A scary biker gang led by an unnerving-yet-alluring Willem Dafoe! A terrifying Ed Begley Jr.! Infectious music from Jim Steinman, Ry Cooder, Dan Hartman, Stevie Nicks, The Blasters, and Boston-based new wave band, Face to Face! Diane Lane looking incredible while playing one of the greatest fictional rock stars of all time! A story out of time, transporting you to a world that feels both nostalgic and somewhat futuristic (for the time it was released at least)! A sonic and visual feast, this movie was made for fans of noirs, cars, and motorcycle bars!

In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on the new Aaron Eckhart action movie, The Bricklayer, and the South Korean revenge thriller, Ballerina!

It’s February, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Shredruary” series! Where we cover movies that revolve around music or musicians! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss 2001’s satirical musical comedy, Josie and the Pussycats!

Endless product placement! A classic and catchy soundtrack that features Letters to Cleo’s Kay Hanley and (we think) Matthew Sweet! A consistently funny movie that effortlessly bounces between witty, subversive moments and silly, slapstick comedy! Fun, creative direction from Can’t Hardly Wait’s Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont! A perfect cast that includes Rachael Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson, Tara Reid, Parker Posey, Alan Cumming, Missi Pyle, possibly the greatest boy band of all time, Dujour, and the vocal talents of Mr. Moviefone! A misunderstood, ahead of its time gem - with a sweet message about being true to yourself and not getting caught in the cogs of consumerism - that has found the cult following it deserves despite its disappointing box office!

In addition, Tim shares his spoiler-free thoughts on 1988’s Alien Nation and the Oscar-winning cinematographer of Cool as Ice, while Alex talks about Shin Ultraman, Knight and Day, The Beekeeper, and Sniper G.R.I.T.!

It’s January, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies Podcast’s “Uncannuary” series! Where we cover movies that feature superheroes or vigilantes, either adapted from comics or created specifically for the big screen! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss the 1994 supernatural-action-bummer-noir, The Crow!

An iconic soundtrack! A city so dangerous and depressing it’ll make you want to move to Gotham! Terrifying, heartless villains! Amazing cinematography and production design! Great action and stunts, including what may be the best rooftop-running scenes of all time! Ernie Hudson, Michael Wincott, David Patrick Kelly, Tony Todd, and what would have been a star-making performance from the late Brandon Lee! A borderline miracle in terms of quality (considering the mid-production tragedy), this dark, sad, somewhat funny, and surprisingly sweet story gives you a totally different kind of comic book movie!

In addition, Matt, Tim, and Alex share their favorite movies of 2023!

It’s January, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Uncannuary” series! Where we cover movies based on comic books or original ideas with similarly “superhuman” characters! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss the martial arts/creature FX direct-to-video classic, Guyver: Dark Hero!

Some of the greatest laser-graffiti you’ve ever seen! A pulsating neck wound! Squibs! Theme music that will live in your brain for days after watching! Ancient alien lore that almost makes Ridley Scott’s Prometheus look like a more expensive remake with fewer jump kicks! A borderline miracle of low-budget cinema filled with charm and glorious fight choreography! One of the original “soft reboots,” packed with incredible creature FX - including the stunning Guyver suit - all brought to you by FX legend and director Steve Wang! Are you currently surrounded by people who are secretly giant monsters called Zoanoids? This movie probably won’t help you confirm, but it can’t hurt to try!

In addition, Matt shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Leave the World Behind and Saltburn, while Alex does the same for Ferrari, Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom!

It’s December, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Holidanger” series! Where we cover the best kind of holiday movie: the ones where lives are on the line! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss Tim Burton’s surprisingly dark and adult Christmas-themed sequel, Batman Returns!

Incredible production design that brings the snowy and fantastical Gotham City to life! One of Danny Elfman’s greatest scores! (Mostly) relatable villains the audience and even Batman can sympathize with! Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito, Christopher Walken, and a movie-stealing performance from Michelle Pfeiffer! Finally, a superhero movie with multiple scenes that take place on rooftops! A relic from a time when superhero movies had to appeal to wide audiences without relying on fan service! A misunderstood sequel with horror elements, adult themes, and a mini rom-com hidden within that’s finally getting the appreciation it deserves!

In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on The Holdovers and Godzilla Minus One, while both Alex and Tim talk about John Woo’s return to American action cinema with Silent Night!
