Filmwhys #43 Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Elf-Man
Episode #43 of The Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where it’s close to the holiday season so I thought it was a perfect time to bring in a couple Christmas-related films. It also seems like I’m getting into a habit of a deadline creep where this show gets posted later and later in the week where it started getting posted on Saturdays, then Sundays, then Mondays, and the last two episodes haven’t come out until Tuesday. I’ll do my best next week to have this posted actually on Monday and I’ll be discussing the year in superhero films with a guest or two. But this week, my guest is Nick Jobe from Your Face! who asks me why I haven’t seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, one of Shane Black’s best films since the original Lethal Weapon that brought Robert Downey Jr. back on the map before he became Iron Man and of course since it is a Shane Black film it does take place during Christmas. And in return, I ask him why he hasn’t seen Elf-Man, the one and only true Christmas superhero movie where Wee-Man becomes a Christmas related superhero in a very schlocky straight-to-home-video movie.

Filmwhys #42 Rashomon and The Guyver
Episode 42 of the Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast wherein lies the answer to the life, the universe, and everything. And I welcome my guest Will Kouf from Silver Emulsion who asks me why I haven’t seen Rashomon, one of Akira Kurosawa’s most well known film next to Seven Samurai and a film that handled a storytelling device so well that the term for showing the same event through different viewpoints is referred to as Rashomon. And in return, I ask him why he hasn’t seen the Guyver, a very campy sci-fi superhero comedy based on a Manga of the same name and starring Mark Hamill post-Star Wars alongside Jimmy Walker of all people.

The Chair Interview at my 2nd Home, Talking Horror
I wanted to take a quick moment to shout out my second home on the internet. While I love watching and writing about superhero and comic book movies and TV shows here, it’s nice to stretch my legs a little bit and delve into other genres. So when Tyson Carter put a call for help to make a new horror site, I thought it was high time I spread my wings a little bit. Over there, I will mainly be writing articles on horror Kickstarter projects and the like, seeing what’s interesting, what’s worth your money, and what might not have a bat’s chance in hell of getting funded. And once in a while I might toss out a horror movie review or two as well. So make sure you follow the new site Talking Horror. But not only that, I also have my first article over there that I’d like to share. I got the chance to talk to a recently successful Kickstarter project for a horror movie based on a graphic novel called the Chair. So check out my interview with Peter Simeti and leave a comment, why don’t you! Until next time, this has been Bubbawheat for Flights, Tights, and Movie Nights.

Filmwhys #40 Modern Times and Elektra
Episode 40 of the Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is Adam Portrais of the Hero Movie Podcast who is also a big superhero movie fan and discusses one each week on his own podcast. But he’s also a classic film fan and asks me why I haven’t seen Modern Times, Charlie Chaplin’s last silent hurrah featuring his Little Tramp character at the end of the silent film era. And in return, I ask him why he hasn’t seen Elektra, the less interesting Daredevil spinoff and one of the very few superhero movies featuring a female protagonist.

Filmwhys Extra #17 Nolan’s Batman Trilogy
The 17th Filmwhys Extra where I am discussing the entire Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy with two of my three previous guests who just watched one of the films for the first time. Jess from French Toast Sunday and Elwood Jones from From the Depths of DVD Hell. It was a lot of fun revisiting this trilogy as it’s been a couple years for me. It’s still one of the best, if not the best superhero trilogy of all time and I’m glad that I got to convince three other people to finish the trilogy as none of them had gone in completely clean.

Filmwhys #38 Perfect Blue and the Dark Knight
Welcome back to another Batman themed episode, and one of only a small handful of times where I can arguably have the better argument of a movie that someone should have seen by now. Episode 38 of the Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast where my guest is Elwood Jones from From the Depths of DVD Hell who asks me why I haven’t seen Perfect Blue, one of the older and well respected anime movies that was a strong influence on Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan. And in return, I get to ask him why he hasn’t seen arguably the greatest superhero movie of all time, the Dark Knight.
