A little over two years ago, the boys reviewed three Salems Lot adaptations thinking they were leading up to a new version of it produced by James Wan. Well, they did get it, they just had to wait over two years. Welcome to the review over two years in the making. With Garrett the huge fan of the novel and, to a lesser extent, the two miniseries, was he looking forward to this new

Prometheus was released in Summer of 2012 and sparked both box office revenue and feverous debate. What once was thought to be a single Alien prequel was then on the track to being a "trilogy" of installments. It took five years and almost as many screenwriters before we would return to the world established in 1979. Ridley Scott was back in the director's chair for Alien: Covenan

After taking a detour into Beetlejuice land, The Three Men And A Retrospective Podcast returns to the Alien franchise discussing a film that, well, needs to be discussed. Director Ridley Scott had always wanted to return to the franchise that put him on the map. But after Fox decided to move forward with the Alien vs Predator films, it would seem he was permanently soured on it.

After 36 years of rumors and abandoned scripts about going to Hawaii, Tim Burton and company have returned with Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the sequel fans have been clamoring for. Or is it? Join the original three of the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as they dissect the brand new entry in the Beetlejuice series. What were their expectations going on? How were their theatrica

Before moving on with the Alien franchise, the boys decided to take a little detour into a world that not only beautifully sets the Halloween table, but also miraculously has a new film 35 years after the original! That’s right, it’s time for the Three Men and a Retrospective Beetlejuice retrospective! Before getting to the new one, we have to talk about the Tim Burton 1988 or

After the hellacious shoot that was Alien 3, not to mention disappointing box office returns, it would seem that Brandywine and 20th Century Fox were done with the Alien franchise, and were willing to call it dead in space. But by 1997, Fox still thought it could get more acid blood from the Alien stone. And in order to help with this feat, they would pull from the one region where

Making a 3rd Alien film seemed to be an inevitability. Following the success of Hames Cameron’s Aliens, 20th Century Fox knew it had a flat out franchise on their hands, and wanted to capitalize on that fact quicker than before. But, seeming as the previous film had a seven year ago gap, you’d think it’d be an easy feat to accomplish. You would be wrong. As not only was Alie

After Alien came out and was a certified success for 20th Century Fox in 2979, Fox executives immediately looked to do with that movie like they’d already done with their other film that took place in space, Star Wars. That is to make a sequel and franchise it. But it would take SEVEN years, and a hell of a lot of wrangling from both Fox executives and their newly minted from Th

Even though Garrett had previously covered this franchise, which happens to be an all-time favorite of his, at the old place, who's to say we can't redo it? Adam and Matt have never been involved outside of being dragged into reviewing the AVP spinoff flicks. Perhaps this is their reward for being good sports or it's just because Alien: Romulus is upon us. Before we get there thou

Before jumping into Alien, Matt and Garrett get some M Night Shyamalan out of the way as they bring Mike Guarnieri on to discuss the auteur’s new film, Trap. Listen to the boys discuss the film as only they can. And in true Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast fashion, things get testy. Though it’s not the two you’d expect. Is this really the catastrophe some critics are
