Comic Timing Episode 266 – Night of the Comet: Retro Movie Review

Leave a comment

Forty-one years ago, one of the most 80’s B-movies was released in theaters. To celebrate, the Gold Team crew of Ian, Murd, Chris Eberle and Shane give their honest takes on Night of the Comet, directed by Thom Eberhardt and featuring the likes of Robert Beltran pre-Star Trek Voyager, Catherine Mary Stewart, Kelli Maroney, Geoffrey Lewis, red skies, clothes lying on the ground covered in dust, zombies, half-zombies, a radio station on full Memorex, and the most empty streets you’ll ever see in the LA area. Sit back and relax, bring the movie up on YouTube, Roku or Tubi to watch it either again or full the first time, and join in on the low budget fun. We then finish with some recent reads, Murd’s upcoming Review Corner pick, and more!

And here’s the YouTube video version:

Comic Timing Episode 221: Retro Movie Review – Ghostbusters

Leave a comment

Bustin’ makes me feel good! This episode, Retro Movie Reviews make their way to Comic Timing, and so does the crew of Chris Eberle, Adam Murdough, and Shane Kelly! The foursome is joined by none other than Danielle Corsetto to discuss her favorite movie of all time, Ghostbusters. They go through what makes the movie work so well forty years later, what almost was a movie with John Belushi and Eddie Murphy instead of Bill Murray and Ernie Hudson, Dan Akroyd’s ability to be enthusiastic in every scene while Harold Ramis plays the weirdest straight man possible, the joy that is Annie Potts, Sigourney Weaver’s on-screen chemistry with both Murray and Rick Moranis, the special effects, Staypuff and Slimer and so much more. We also go into some ancillary material such as comic books over the years, The Real Ghostbusters cartoon, and oh so many toys.

And here’s the YouTube video version for you all:
