This week Scott and A discuss the RESIDENT EVIL franchise. We talk about all five movies currently available for at-home viewing, and our experience marathoning them this month. It’s been a wild ride, and we’re excited to go see Resident Evil: The Final Chapter this weekend!

Even if you’re not into these games or these movies, the success of these films can’t be ignored. And, honestly, they’re better than you might think at first.

Yes, 2016 generated an all-time high in box office revenue, but when you adjust for inflation how successful was it, really? Is Hollywood heading for a major crash, a-la the music business of the 90s and the publishing biz of the oughts?

We cover that in this episode, as well as:

• What were the Top-10 highest-grossing films of 2016?
• The influence of Chinese investors and the Chinese government on Hollywood.
• What year set the record for attendance, not for revenue?
• Why it’s better to root for the Dark Side.
• The evil that is Herbie the Love Bug.

It’s Friday the 13th, so what else would we cover but FRIDAY THE 13TH? The original, people, not a remake, not a reboot, not a sequel, but the carnage-fest that started a billion-dollar franchise. A first-generation slasher film that created many copies, this horror classic is slathered with the blood of horror movie history.

If you haven’t seen GALAXY QUEST in all this time since 1999, let’s just say you’re missing out. Or, more correctly, if you’re a fan of this ‘cast, or scifi, or nerdom and you haven’t seen Galaxy Quest … you’re totally missing out. Just trust us, see it.
