Thinking Outside The Long Box

Not too many bigger celebrities, especially ones that have struck it big on the big screen, would take the risk on the smaller screen. Not only that, but take the risk on a TV show that happens to fall on the more silly side of the road. That doesn't mean that FUBAR is bad, at all, because silly, especially in this show, is good! Arnold attempted to take a fun swing, and it was definitely not a miss! "Premise. Luke Brunner and his daughter Emma have lied to each other for years, with neither of them knowing that the other is a CIA operative. Once they both learn the truth, they realize that they do not actually know anything about each other." The addition of Gabriel Luna sent this series even more over the top than with only Arnold and his crew. He makes a really good bad guy, to Arnold's good guy! If you like an action comedy, this is definitely a series that you should be taking on! SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts | Android |  Spotify | Pandora | RSS Tell us what you think!

All the way from sunny California, our San Diego Comic Con adventure begins with an awesome interview about a pretty unique graphic novel. We were able to snag some time from writer and creator, Nicholas Tana, about his graphic novel, EJUNKY! "Hector Holmes, a bored, thrill-seeking Experience Junky (eJunky for short), takes a dose of a new alternative reality drug known as Torch which causes him to experience the memory of a train wreck that took place hundreds of years ago from the perspective of a long-deceased passenger. The dosage lands him in the hospital where he is approached by a special task force of the World Corporation Organization (W.C.O.) to investigate The Guardians of Pain, the cult behind the new drug who may also be responsible for Hector’s brother’s untimely death." What initially intrigued us about this book, was the time travel aspect. And not just time travel, even though we're huge fans of that genre, this takes a very unique approach to the timeless subject. Being able to time travel

Not too many shows that we watch catch me off guard with how well they're done, compared to what my expectations were. When we started watching this show that was suggested by Doyle, I had no idea how good I was going to think it was. It does not disappoint at all in season 2, and we are of course talking about the MGM show, From! "FROM unravels the mystery of a nightmarish town that traps all those who enter. As the unwilling residents search for a way out, they must also survive the threats of the forest including the terrifying creatures that come out at night." I thought this was going to be a straight vampire show, and it turned into so much more!! Coming from the creators of the show Lost, you know that there is going to be so many twists and turns. The ending of season 2, is exactly that. A turn that we should have probably seen coming, but happened in a way that seemed completely out of nowhere. If you haven't seen this, man you need to make sure you go take a look, and binge it! SUBSCRIBE: Apple P

Every once in a while we have to slow the show down, in order to try something new, and something that we think would be fun. This is one of those shows!! Don't get me wrong, slow for us, doesn't mean boring, it just means something different. I recently signed up for the CLZ comic book app, and we wouldn't to go through some of my Spider-Man comic books! "The Amazing Spider-Man is an ongoing American superhero comic book series featuring the Marvel Comics superhero Spider-Man as its title character and main protagonist. Being in the mainstream continuity of the franchise, it was the character's first title, launching seven months after his introduction in the final issue of Amazing Fantasy. The series began publication with a March 1963 cover date and has been published nearly continuously to date over six volumes with only one significant interruption. Issues of the title currently feature an issue number within its sixth volume, as well as a "legacy" number reflecting the issue's overall number across all

Did you know that there was a Trailer Park Boys comic book? We for sure didn't until Fan Expo Denver!! We had the chance to sit down and speak with creator extraordinaire Travis Hymel! "Travis Hymel is an artist and illustrator living in Colorado. He has worked for clients such as Devil's Due comics, Action Lab Entertainment, Boom Studios, Full Moon Comix, and UNICEF." Travis was such a chill dude, and his art is super cool!! His Trailer Park Boys work is damn near life like, which lends itself to those goofy stories! I think if the art was just like the stories it might take away from the book itself, but man is the art really freaking good!! We also were able to take home a version that was an homage to older horror books!! Travis is a local creator, and you definitely need not skip out on his work!!

While we were at Fan Expo 2023 we had the chance to speak to many awesome creators!! One of those creators is Dave Dwonch! You can find his work at Hellbrain! "Dave Dwonch has been a comics writer and artist producing indie titles for over a decade. In 2010 he founded Action Lab Entertainment and as Creative Director for Action Lab helped produce several of their titles including the Eisner nominated series Princeless. He has penned several titles, most notably Vamplets (with Gayle "My Little Pony" Middleton), Cyrus Perkins and the Haunted Taxi Cab, CBR's Top 100 series Double Jumpers, and the hit series, Infinite Seven." Dave is a totally down to earth dude, and his work looks awesome!! It was definitely our pleasure to get to speak to him, and he happens to be local to us!

If you've been listening to the show for any amount of time, you know that we are pretty big fans of anything that has to do with exorcism! It generally makes for a good time, even in low budget projects! With that in mind, when we first saw the trailer for The Pope's Exorcist, featuring Russell Crowe as the lead, we were generally very excited!! "Father Gabriele Amorth, chief exorcist for the Vatican, battles Satan and innocent-possessing demons. A detailed portrait of a priest who performed more than 100,000 exorcisms in his lifetime." If there was any fear that Russell Crowe might not treat this genre with respect, they were quelled pretty quickly. Not only does he treat the genre with the utmost respect, he absolutely nails this performance! This is worth every bit of time time spent on the movie, not just if you're into the horror genre, but definitely especially if you're into the horror genre!

It's the end of an era, but possibly the start of something new. When Marvel Studios began making super hero films, nobody would have ever guessed that this band of heroes would have been the team up with their own movies. Arguably, very few people had even heard of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Yet, here we are, talking about Volume 3, and what is supposed to be the end of the team as we've known them so far. "Still reeling from the loss of Gamora, Peter Quill must rally his team to defend the universe and protect one of their own. If the mission is not completely successful, it could possibly lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them." I guess, like Agent Smith would say, everything with a beginning, has an end. That doesn't necessarily mean that we won't see this team in the future. I mean there are still many multi-universe stories to be told. It just means that, unless Marvel is lying, this will be the last rendition of GOTG to feature this main team. SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts | Android |  Spoti

I'm sure that millions of people around the world play dungeons and dragons. The game is enjoyed by many a nerd. Well, the time came for there to be a live action movie, as seems to be the case for many things that we never thought would be movies. Now you get to decide whether it was worth the wait, or if it should have ever been made. Today we're talking about the film, Dungeons & Dragons: No Honor Among Thieves. "No Honor Among Thieves is a competitive/cooperative game for three to six players, in which each player assembles a crew of thieves and sets out to see who can steal the most from the rich and powerful of the kingdom." It tells the story about a band of people that come together in order to steal things. One of those items, is a magical talisman that has the magic ability to bring someone back from the dead. Of course, in a tale like this, nothing goes as planned! SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts | Android |  Spotify | Pandora | RSS Tell us what you think! Leave us a voicemail at 970-573-6148 Send us

We have covered every iteration of a comic con in Denver, pretty much since our inception as a team. From Denver Comic Con, all the way to Fan Expo Denver. The crew and the show has gone through many changes, and has risen to the heights of one of the most popular show in the country! It's been great to be able to watch it grow, as we've grown!! But, today marks the beginning of Fan Expo 2023!! A weekend long event full of all of the nerdy stuff that you could ever ask for! To celebrate the starting of the show, we had the opportunity to speak with Andrew Moyes!

It's season finale time everyone!! We have two awesome interviews from the cast of From, on MGM+!! Did today's episode tie it up for you as you might have been expecting? Did it create more questions than answers!! In this episode we're talking about one of the biggest enigmas of the show!! We're speaking to Scott McCord who plays Victor! "Scott McCord as Victor, a peculiar Colony House resident who has been trapped in the town since he was young. Eli Arsenault portrays Victor as a child." Scott was an absolutely pleasure to speak to! You can tell that he absolutely has all of the love for From, and for his character Victor. Scott feels like someone who you could ask one question, and he could go on for hours! That's how much passion he's filled with about this amazing show!! The season finale is already out, so make sure you check out the show, and then come listen to Scott speak about it!!

Sometimes you have to go backward, in order to go forward! I think that was the though behind reaching back into the archives in order to try the world of Super Mario Bros one more time! It's been done, a LONG time ago, but it's 2023 and it's time to see if Chris Pratt can bring this world back to life!! "With help from Princess Peach, Mario gets ready to square off against the all-powerful Bowser to stop his plans from conquering the world." In all reality this movie was probably made for children, and not for adults, because the storyline itself isn't really the best part of the movie. It's all of the easter eggs, from the Super Mario Bros world, that really are the stars of the movie. You get a little bit of the normal stuff, plus Haunted Mansion, Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, and much more!! If you like an easter egg filled hunt, this is definitely the movie for you!

It's time to go back to 1993 to take a look back at a movie that should probably stay buried at this point in time! It's pop culture classic time, and we're talking about the video game to movie adaptation, Super Mario Bros! Whether you love the movie, or not, and for the most part, it's an astounding "not" this movie did a lot for the VFX medium!! "Brooklyn plumbers Mario and Luigi get the shock of their lives when they discover a parallel world populated by the intelligent descendants of dinosaurs. It seems they weren't destroyed by a meteor millions of years ago but hurled into another dimension and, now, they have plans to rule our world. It's up to our unlikely heroes to battle the evil King Koopa and his Goomba guards, free the beautiful Princess Daisy and save mankind in this adventure of a lifetime." What happens when two every day normal plumbers, have to go to a different dimension, in order to save their own? What happens when you take a beloved video game, and take a stab at turning it into a bl

Rolling on with amazing coverage for a show that both Doyle, and I absolutely love, today! We are coming at you with another awesome interview today, from one of our favorite shows on MGM+, From! If you're not watching the show, From, you are definitely missing out on a very cool vampire/monster/lost TV show!! This has all of the making of what is, and will continue to be a great monster and mystery show!! Today we are talking with one of the breakout actors of this season, A.J. Simmons!! "A.J. Simmons as Randall (season 2), a volatile man who is quick to anger and one of the bus passengers" A.J.'s character Randall is someone who doesn't trust very easily, but does seem to anger very easily. Randall was a passenger on the bus that entered at the very beginning of season 2, and is new to the "From" universe this season. With all that being said, he is definitely one of the more interesting new characters! Check out this awesome interview with A.J., and make sure that you go catch up if you haven't already!!

"Pegah Ghafoori as Fatima Hassan, Ellis' girlfriend and one of the Colony House residents" We snuck a few minutes out of her busy schedule, and were able to speak about From as a whole.

This movie was recommended by Doyle, and pretty much came out of nowhere. It's not something that I had heard of, and I think it was honestly just recommended to him by the algorithm. It's a pretty unique zombie film, with a surprise immunity twist. We're talking about the film, Blood Quantum! "The dead are coming back to life and almost all of Earth's population are decimated due to a zombie virus, except for the isolated Mi'kmaq reserve of Red Crow, whose indigenous inhabitants who are strangely immune to the zombie plague." In a very cool plot twist, it seems as though the population of Natives, specifically the Red Crow, are immune to the zombie virus. They are the ones who saw it coming, and are now trying to create a path forward for humanity. Much like with everything in these films, that is when things start to go sideways. The team starts to implode from the inside, and you can probably guess what happens from there. It's a fun zombie films, with some different stories than you would expect from th

It all started out with the murder of a dog. Of course, it wasn't just a murdered dog, but the dog was a symbol of something much bigger that obviously took us down the road for four different movies. All starring Keanu Reeves, we are of course talking about John Wick: Chapter 4! "With the price on his head ever increasing, legendary hit man John Wick takes his fight against the High Table global as he seeks out the most powerful players in the underworld, from New York to Paris to Japan to Berlin." The addition of Donnie Yen to this franchise was absolutely phenomenal. He was absolutely the right choice for this type of movie, and steals every scene that he's in. If you haven't watched any John Wick up to this point, don't start here, or you'll be completely lost. Make sure you catch up on the universe, in order to watch this part, which might be the last one. I say might, because this is a tricky universe, so who knows what's going on with John, plus there are a couple of spinoffs in the works as well!!

I think that team TOTLB is a big time fan of anything involving aliens. Sometimes even if we know that it might not be the most entertaining project. BUT, today's episode is definitely entertaining. The only problem with this show, and what I personally think might have been it's downfall, is that it's on the History Channel! We're talking about, Project Blue Book! "Project Blue Book was an American historical drama television series that premiered on History on January 8, 2019. The main role of Dr. J. Allen Hynek is played by Aidan Gillen, and the first season consisted of ten episodes. The series is based on the real-life Project Blue Book, a series of studies on unidentified flying objects conducted by the United States Air Force." Right before we recorded, but after we watched, we learned that this show was cancelled. This series was very good for what it was, and deserved more than what the History Channel could offer such a show. If you haven't watched it, you definitely need to give it a try, if you'
