Fix A Flick

It’s the Pod’s 4th birthday and we are celebrating with sand (Which is coarse and gets everywhere), spice, and everything nice! Matt Conrad is here from the @giveit5 podcast to help us celebrate. The boys dissect the sci-fi classic Dune- both the 1984 David Lynch film and the classic 1965 novel by Frank Herbert and the amazing documentary Jodorowsky's Dune. Enjoy and happy birthday Fix a Flick!

The last time Nathan came to the pod he warned us about the environment. This time it’s a bit more extra- extraterrestrial. We are picking apart Signs (2002) to try and make some more sense of why these Aliens even came to earth in the first place.

After a brief hiatus the boys are back to get medieval with it! Friend of the pod Joey Simpson is back to give us another history lesson! After his fixes for Troy (Ep. 42) and Dungeons and Dragons (Ep. 62), Joey thought it best to school us in latter day Rome and the legend of Excalibur with The Last Legion (2007).   Be sure to check out his youtube channel at www.youtube.com/poliusplays  

We did not come to fix but to appreciate! Peter and Connor sit down with Frank and Matt for a new series on movie appreciation. Together they are No Flicks Given and today they are looking at the coming of age 80’s Classic, The Goonies! 

The trilogy is complete! Our pandemic series ends with a cry for brains as once and future guest Chandler Wild returns to tear apart George A Romero’s last film, Survival of the Dead (2009). Be sure to check out All the Way Around Productions for more info on Chandler’s Work (https://www.atwaproductions.com/)

The pandemic continues and so does the fixing of latter day Romero as the boys invite back long time friend and first ever guest Stuart Mcniell back to the pod. The goal today is to tackle Romero’s return to indie films by fixing George A. Romero’s Diary of the Dead! Be sure to follow Stu on Instagram @smcniell

Things are spooky in the world right now, so why not lean into it? We are exploring a different kind of pandemic as we kick off a fix of the last three George Romero movies beginning with 2005’s land of the dead and the king of spook himself, Rob Schulte! Come escape into a zombie world as we help make an ok movie become great!

Peter Garafalo (@petergthedp on Insta) is back to see if he can improve on the excellent Animatrix and give a little more depth to the world of the Matrix in general. Go check out Episode 6 from 2016 for Peter’s Oscar worthy fix of the SpongeBob movie as well! Take a look at Peter's website as well. 

The Academy Awards are on the boys mind’s this week as they figure out some of the ways that the Oscars are lagging behind in the 21st century. Like, its 2020- does gender for awards even matter anymore? We explore all that and more plus picks for Best Picture!

The boys are back from their Christmas hiatus to kick off the new year with an old friend! Jim Aubin (@jamesaubin Insta) is here to battle for the grand title of Star Trek nerd supreme as he brings a fix for Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989). Come nerd out with us for a great episode to kick off 2020!

It’s that spooky time of year when Peter is forced to watch some horror movies, and this time it wasn’t that bad! Rob Schulte of the Pumpkin Spice Podcast is back for the 4th year in a row to fix Scream 3 (2000). The boys have a great time getting creepy with Rob, as well as fixing toxic masculinity in the movie business and discussing the best way to kill people in horror movies. All of the "Scream" films are available on Netflix.  GO CHECK OUT PUMPKIN SPICE PODCAST HERE

It's summer time here at the Detective Agency and the boys are off getting some rest and relaxation, so we brought back one of our favorites from the Fix A Flick catalogue - "Armagedon" with Kate and Murda from There Will Be Porn Since they were on the show Kate and Murda went on to found More Banana Productions and Kill Room Studios.  Based in Brooklyn, More Banana was founded in early 2018 as a response to a gap in the podcasting world. This gap was twofold: a noticeable lack of women working in audio and podcast production, and a need for women to not doubt their opinions, interests, and expertise, even in a media that does not highlight them as experts.   More Banana was created to close that gap and elevate the views of women; not just because it is a woman’s perspective, but because it’s a damn good perspective.   We couldn't be more proud of all of their great work and content and you should go listen to all 10 of their shows!    Enjoy this summery walk down memory lane!     

It’s July, which we all know is Roland Emmerich month. The boys have their first podcast apart and welcome to the detective agency Amanda Kusek  (Insta @cheapcourage) of the Show Me Yours podcast to talk about their favorite 20 story lizard- Godzilla.
