On this episode we give the people what they want, a PAN spectacular, as we discuss a film that has probably already been exiled from theaters, YET ANOTHER reimagining of the Peter Pan story, one that has been toyed with before as we see with HOOK where Peter Pan grows up, and in FINDING NEVERLAND where J.M. Barrie starts hanging out at the park with kids for inspiration. And yes,  we  realize how illicit that sounds. Thankfully Natasha from Kentucky Geek Girl joins us to keep things above board, but before that, Brendan from the InSession Film podcast paid his debt for many guest appearances on his show… by talking PAN.

Peter and Phoenix are joined by Sarah of Project Fandom to discuss the 1999 Tim Burton retelling of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving.

On this episode we take a trip to Boston with David from That Moment In on a mission to uncover some rats. Martin Scorsese's Best Picture winning THE DEPARTED has Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio as a compromised cop and an undercover agent who are looking to reveal the other in a deadly game of cat and mouse. And in THE FRIENDS OF EDDIE COYLE we have movie god Robert Mitchum trades criminal contacts like baseball cards in an attempt to save himself, unaware of others playing the same game with his fate. These two cinematic crime classics do battle after new release BLACK MASS attempts to join their ranks.

Crazy, kooky and ferociously goofy, Johnny Depp’s latest is a send-up to the 70’s caper movies and the genre that parodied them. Striking a similar if distant cord to “The Pink Panther”, “Mortdecai” features a bungling lead character whose charm lies in being larger than life. The situations are over the top, the characters zany to the hilt and the laughs more frequent than anticipated. A titled art dealer living beyond his means, Lord Charlie Mortdecai (Depp) is recruited to track down a stolen painting for MI5. His money troubles at the forefront of his travails, he simultaneously juggles his disgruntled wife Johanna (Gwyneth Paltrow) and the Inspector in charge of the investigation who was Mortdecai’s college schoolmate and a romantic rival for Johanna’s affections. The storyline feels a bit dated and for viewers who haven’t watched a steady diet of the aforementioned movies, the jokes can be too insular to achieve their desired effect. There are some running gags that ...

On this episode we look at the comical life of vampires on film, a genre that doesn't get much play in Hollywood, and many would say rightfully so. However no one can deny that it is a place for notorious overacts such as Nicolas Cage and Johnny Depp to let their freak flags fly in VAMPIRE'S KISS and DARK SHADOWS. This battle of fanged actors over who can ham it up the most is inspired by the new video release of WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS.
