#010: Mandy
Mandy is gory, beautiful, compelling, fun, and utterly bananas. It's clear that Cosmatos had a specific vision when he set out to make this flick, and his determination to create what he wanted is obvious in just about e…
Real Quick? A Film Podcast
Ever find yourself scrolling through streaming menus, wondering if that new movie is worth your time and rental fee? Real Quick? A Film Podcast is here to cut through the noise with a decisively unfiltered take. Hosted by Dean from LSG Media, this weekly podcast delivers sharp, solo reviews of recently available films in brisk half-hour episodes. There’s no fluff or filler here-just one person’s passionate, often profane, analysis of what works and what absolutely doesn’t. Each episode dives deep into spoiler-filled territory, so it’s best enjoyed after you’ve seen the film or if you simply don’t mind having the twists laid bare. The tone is firmly in the realm of comedy and improv, feeling more like a candid conversation with a well-informed, opinionated friend than a formal review. Geared toward mature audiences who love film, this podcast offers a quick hit of entertainment criticism that’s as straightforward as it is engaging. You’ll get honest rants and raves that help you decide what to watch next, all packed into a digestible format that respects your time while thoroughly dissecting the latest releases.
Episodes
#009: Black Mirror "USS Callister"
I was pumped to dive back into this episode of television, because nothing is more exciting than science fiction technology run amok. Today I talk about the bar of television being raised to the point of where some thing…
#008: Beirut
I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with covering Beirut, and ended up spending most of my time discussing the outrage that surrounded the trailer (and the film itself) which I had no idea existed until I actually watched…
#007: The Neon Demon
There is a moment in this flick where Ruby (Jena Malone) climbs on top of a corpse and makes out with it while masturbating. There is another scene where a mountain lion breaks into Jesse's (Elle Fanning) motel room whic…
#006: Hereditary
The ending of Hereditary is a crucible not just for Annie and her family, but also for the audience in that it will separate the lovers of Hereditary from those who thought it was just "okay" or those who say it was "gre…
#005: Upgrade
Upgrade was a pleasant surprise and although the trailer shows a bit of levity in the film (Grey joking around with Stem) the movie has a very serious and heavy tone. If you're into lean science fiction that isn't too 'o…
#004: First Reformed
Reverend Toller (Hawke) is experiencing a crisis of faith and has been since the death of his son in Iraq. The narrative flirts with balancing destructive and creative forces, and it also gets into hypocrisy and our inab…
#003: Red Sparrow
I went into Red Sparrow with all the normal expectations: Jennifer Lawrence running around naked, neck snaps, the whole Russian aesthetic thing, and of course cloak and dagger spy-craft. I was aware of the baggage (from…
#002: Ready Player One
I just got done watching Ready Player One, and it has my head swimming with all kinds of crazy ideas. Are skills transferable from the real world into the OASIS? Like if you're a martial arts expert can you fight more ef…
#001: Justice League
I finally get off my butt to watch a superhero movie, because I know how much you guys all love them. I decided to kick things off with Justice Leauge, and boy there is some Zack Snyder things going on in this one. There…
