	<description><![CDATA[For the 3rd time in this retrospective, the three co-hosts ask the same question: why and how do we have another Toy Story movie? But this time, Matt, Adam, and Garrett are seeing and reviewing it at the exact same time. That’s right. It’s time to finally conclude the Toy Story retrospective with this review of Toy Story 5!

Listen to the podcasters talk about their theatrical experiences, go detail by detail through the film’s plot, and finally reveal what they’re doing next. Here’s a hint: bring your short shorts and prepare to run on the beach!

Thanks to everyone who listened to this fun and unexpectedly emotional podcast series. Stay tuned this week for our next retro, as well as solo podcasts from both Matt and Garrett!!]]></description>

But that, as they say, is why we record the podcast. Listen to this review of Lightyear as both Garrett and Adam watch it for the very first time. Is Lightyear’s derision deserved? What about Matt, who did actually see Lightyear when it was released to theaters?

	<description><![CDATA[Toy Story 3, for all intents and purposes, was the perfect end to the original Toy Story trilogy (well, maybe not in Adam’s eyes if you listen to that podcast). Woody and company were in safe hands with Bonnie, Andy was completely out of the picture while earning a college degree, and John Lasseter was ousted from the company under creepy circumstances. No, I’m not going to recap those here.

So the question has to be asked that we seem to always ask on this podcast. How, the hell, do you follow up the billion plus dollar conclusion to Pixar’s most prized franchise? Disney executives were not afraid to ask that question, as they see as many dollar signs as Woody sees dust bunnies in this film. 

All of us have brought such different perspectives to each of these movies, and part 4 is no different. In contrast to when we originally did this series seven years ago (attached to this movie as a matter of fact), Adam is seeing a child of his off to college, and I have seven extra years of life experience. How will this film affect us, and can Disney do it again?? That is, make a billion dollars for their golden goose?

So much to discuss, as well as how we feel about the 2019 film itself, all building up to a review of this year’s Toy Story 5 in a couple weeks. Listen to 4 and get ready for our next podcast series, to be announced soon!!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[In what is going to become a theme for this entire series, no one thought there was any way Toy Story 2 could have a sequel. Just the work alone in getting that film done and out to the masses, only to become a massive hit, meant Pixar would be playing with fire if they decided to make a Toy Story 3.

But with all the resources at their disposal (no employee with a copy on their hard drive would be needed to save the film this time) Toy Story 3 came out in 2010 and crossed the billion dollar mark upon its arrival.

While Matt, Adam, and Garrett have been steadily agreeing on the first two episodes of this series, they finally find it in them to start having some disagreements on this episode. Someone on this podcast was not a huge fan upon seeing the film for the first time, and he makes his opinion known.

So download the 90 minute plus episode below, and be sure to come back as we are leading up to a review of this year’s Toy Story 5!!]]></description>

But director John Lasseter had another passion project he wanted to do first, which turned out to be A Bug’s Life.

But how do you follow up a beloved film that not only took Hollywood by storm, but also built a whole studio?

But director John Lasseter had another passion project he wanted to do first, which turned out to be A Bug’s Life. With another hit on his hands, Lasseter knew that it was time to follow up his original hit. But how do you follow up a beloved film that not only took Hollywood by storm, but also built a whole studio?

The answer to these questions resulted in more peaks and valleys than they could count. Join Matt, Adam, and Garrett as they go over ALL those peaks and valleys, and determine if Toy Story 2 deserves its reputation of being one of the only Part 2s that surpasses its original source material.]]></googleplay:description>

Join the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as Matt, Adam, and Garrett dissect what Toy Story has meant to them individually. Atlantis least one person is coming at this from a whole new angle than when they covered it before. Listen below to find out who.

Oh, they also review the 1995 computer animated movie that almost wasn’t. And keep coming back, as this retrospective will end on a review of Toy Story 5, which they all see in theaters.

Note: This podcast was recorded a month plus before the release of Toy Story 5. So the series will actually end on a week of release review, including theatrical experiences.]]></description>

Listen to Garrett, Adam, and Matt as they dissect those questions in this podcast that was recorded the week the film came out. What were their theatrical experiences like? Did Matt, who proclaimed last podcast to not have any investment in this property, find any enjoyment in this 80s nostalgia fest? Or was the presence of Jared Leto just too much to overcome???

Time for a new retrospective series! With Masters of the Universe hitting theaters, we decided to get on the He-Man bandwagon. Well, 2/3 of us did.

Listen to Garett and Adam go over their childhood love of the character, while Matt tries to figure out the character’s appeal. But Matt has been notorious on this show of endorsing bad movies. Does Cannon Films’ 1987 Dolph Lundgren (again?!) starring movie get added to that list? And what did Adam and Garrett think of it when it was originally released?? What do they think now??

So much to get to, as well as what we expect from the Travis Knight (Bumblebee) directed update, on this 90 plus minute episode of The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast!!!]]></description>

Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they try to dissect that last question, as well as the plot to the movie that contains Disney’s most popular Star Wars Disney Plus character…and The Mandalorian!

	<description><![CDATA[Finishing out this leg of their look at Stephen King’s entire set of adaptations, the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast are looking at a film which features one of the popular author’s most recognizable villains. Before the book was even published, producer Richard Kobritz (Salem’s Lot) enlisted Halloween’s John Carpenter to come in and helm a film adaptation, to come out at the end of the year.

After a few years on their own network, the guys have finally gotten to a piece of Carpenter’s well regarded early resume. What is everyone’s background when it comes to his films? Why did Garrett hold Christine in such high regard as a teenager? What does he feel about it now? And what does Adam feel about finally getting to one of his favorite directors?

Now that Garrett, Matt, and Adam have closed out this part of King’s adaptation resume, what’s next for the trio? Let’s just say the answer, which is given at the end of this podcast, may be looked at as a ‘Master’ class of popcorn filmmaking.]]></description>

With a huge backstory to how the film got made, as well as stories galore about the four boys at the forefront of the film. How will Adam feel about this sentimental favorite after seeing it for the first time? Has time been good to it? Is River Phoenix as good as we remember? Is Jerry O’Connell actually….good?? And how does this film tie in to his marriage to Rebecca Romijn??

So many things to discuss. So just download this cap off to perhaps the most emotional set of shows we’ve ever done.]]></description>

How will Adam feel about this sentimental favorite after seeing it for the first time? Has time been good to it? Is River Phoenix as good as we remember? Is Jerry O’Connell actually….good?? And how does this film tie in to his marriage to Rebecca Romijn??

So many things to discuss. So just download this cap off to perhaps the most emotional set of shows we’ve ever done.]]></content:encoded>

	<description><![CDATA[Now that The Dark Tower is out of the way, it’s time to dive into perhaps author Stephen King’s most well regarded book of stories -or novellas- Different Seasons. But before we get to Apt Pupil and Stand By Me, we review the adaptation of the first story in the volume, a little film called The Shawshank Redemption.

With Rob Reiner (eventually) giving first time feature director Frank Darabont the chance to adapt the story (called Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption in the book), the film came out…and hit with a thud. That is, until that year’s Oscar nominations and Ted Turner’s network TNT got into the act. Suddenly, Shawshank was being played multiple times a year, exposing the film to dads everywhere, and eventually becoming the number one rated film on IMDB.

Now, The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast puts the Morgan Freeman/Tim Robbins film to the test! Will everyone, including noted King pessimist Adam, agree with the IMDB score? Find out by downloading the podcast below!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[It’s Garrett’s first Percolated Media Presents podcast in quite awhile, and boy did he pick a doozy to come back to, as there are many many things to talk about this week! He starts things off with a 15 minute observation about what the last weekend in box office means for both the short term and long term. He also goes into Steven Spielberg’s appearance on The Rewatchables podcast earlier this week, and what the box office numbers mean for not only the sinking Mandolorian and Grogu. But also this week’s Masters of the Universe and Spielberg’s own Disclosure Day, opening June 12th.

He then talks to director Jeremiah Kipp. Kipp’s newly released film The Mortuary Assistant has been taking the top spot on channel Shudder’s most watched film. Kipp goes over things like what got him interested in filmmaking, how he approached adapting a very popular video game, what it was like appearing on the popular podcast The Movie Crypt (RIP Arwen), and soooo much more. We think you’ll find Kipp to be a tremendously nice guy and we look forward to what he does next! 

Garrett then concludes the podcast with a wrap up of today’s show as well as previews of upcoming retrospectives. With so much going on in the movie world, we can’t see Percolated Media Presents laying dormant for long!

Songs: 

Intro: Wolf The Wolf You Feed by Nita Strauss (w/ Alissa White-Gluz)

Outro: So Tired of Being Alone by Tarja Turunen (w/Schiller)]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[After a few months away from his crazy imagination, it’s time for the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast to return to the world of Stephen King. And what a doozy to start this leg of adaptations, as in 2017 screenwriter Alivia Goldman and producer Ron Howard brought King’s seven plus Dark Tower book series to the screen!

Widely criticized as being one of the worst adaptations ever put to screen, the movie nonetheless possesses both Idris Elba and Matthew McConaughey in the two main roles. So what is the film criticized? And do Garrett, Adam, and Matt agree??

Listen in as the guys dissect a huge set of behind the scenes circumstances which had everyone from JJ Abrams to Ron Howard himself in the film’s director’s chair at one point or another. So how the hell did Nikolaj Arcel get the gig?? And is there a future for this series?

So much to get to. So check out this 90 plus minute review of The Dark Tower and be sure to come back as the guys will dissect the movies adapted from King’s Different Seasons collection, and even throw a few surprises in here and there!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[You know how sometimes while reviewing Joe Hill’s father and his adaptations we say we wonder when he will run out of inanimate things that are evil? For example, a linen folding machine shows there is no limit to how vast Stephen King’s imagination can take him. However, we’ll get back to him soon. Now, we are reviewing a movie that was spawned much the same way King came up with The Mangler. Hill phoned Scott Derrickson and asked him, ‘what would happen if The Grabber called Finn from hell?’ The rest, as they say, is history.

Join the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as we finally get to the sequel to the first surprise hit from Blumhouse Pictures. Is this really a new Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors? Can Ethan Hawker be our new Freddy? What about Black Phone 2’s new settings and characters???

All is answered in the below podcast. Next week, a review of dad Steve’s Dark Tower and its adaptation starring Matthew McConaughey. What can possibly go wrong with that one???]]></description>

For example, a linen folding machine shows there is no limit to how vast Stephen King’s imagination can take him. However, we’ll get back to him soon. Now, we are reviewing a movie that was spawned much the same way King came up with The Mangler. Hill phoned Scott Derrickson and asked him, ‘what would happen if The Grabber called Finn from hell?’ The rest, as they say, is history.

Join the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as we finally get to the sequel to the first surprise hit from Blumhouse Pictures. Is this really a new Nightmare on Elm Street 3 Dream Warriors? Can Ethan Hawker be our new Freddy? What about Black Phone 2’s new settings and characters???

All is answered in the below podcast. Next week, a review of dad Steve’s Dark Tower and its adaptation starring Matthew McConaughey. What can possibly go wrong with that one???]]></googleplay:description>

	<description><![CDATA[This week the guys finally get to a theatrical release as they review director Ang Lee’s long awaited 2003 film, Hulk!

After Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon became an unexpected commercial and critical darling, Lee had a slew of big budgeted opportunities flood his inbox. The two biggest ones being a follow up to James Cameron’s Terminator 2 Judgment Day, as well as the long in development by Cameron’s ex Gale Anne Hurd Hulk film. Yet, he turned down Terminator 3 in order to take the big green monster on. And after years of rejected scripts and start stops, the green light was finally given, with Eric Baja being Lee’s choice for the Banner/Hulk role.

But upon release, Hulk was met with derision from both critics and audiences, with some saying there wasn’t enough action and others putting down the long built up finale between the two Banners. Will The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast join the fray of people who reassess Hulk in a positive light?? Listen in to find out!

Also, we reveal what the next retrospective series will be.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[With a successful television show and a string of TV movies The Incredible Hulk proved to be a hugely rewarding experience for Bill Bixby. So it’s understandable that he was apprehensive about finally putting the character to bed. In fact, all reports are that he didn’t want to fully put it to bed. We get into that on this podcast.

But before that happens, David Banner finds himself mixed up with spies, with nary a Jack McGee sighting. That, my friends, is the plot of The Death of the Incredible Hulk. A movie even Hulk can Garrett wasn’t looking forward to revisiting. Yet, our duty is our duty, so enjoy Percolated Media listeners!

Next week, the guys finally get to a theatrically released film starring the big green angry guy. Next week, we review Ang Lee’s huge summer of 2003 film Hulk! And boy, do we have opinions on that one! But for now, enjoy our review of Bixby’s swan song as the Hulk, 1990’s The Death of the Incredible Hulk!!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Five years after The Incredible Hulk TV show was canceled by CBS, Bill Bixby wanted more. But original creator Kenneth Johnson had moved on to direct Short Circuit 2, so Bixby was left to guide the project by himself.

But a move to NBC, as well as a changeover to Roger Corman’s production company New World, meant that Bixby could be do things his way. And in 1988, The Incredible Hulk did indeed return in the aptly titled The Incredible Hulk Returns. But this time, he had superhero company.

Join Matt, Adam, and Garrett as they once again dissect a part of The Incredible Hulk’s story that amazingly included Norse god Thor. How did Garrett respond to this movie when he originally saw it? Will the guys get some laughs out of Thor’s one liners. Here’s a hint. One of them does.

Why did it take so long? Well we get into that in the podcast. Needless to say, all of us experienced it in theaters, and all of us have stories. But, most importantly, after three years away from the blue world of Pandora, how does James Cameron handle a story that up until this point, many have called derivative? And do we all still stand by our original opinions of the previous films?

All this and more is answered in the below podcast. And be sure to come back next week, as we get back to Marvel territory by looking at movies starring that green (not blue) creature The Incredible Hulk]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[In the tradition of Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street, producers said t wait long to green light a sequel once 2022’s Scream was a certified hit. Sure enough, a script was churned out that put a whole new spin on the Friday the 13th Part VIII Jason Takes Manhattan. Let’s just call it, Scream Takes Manhattan.

But, as with all Scream productions, there were problems. Not the least of which was Scream mainstay Neve Campbell did not like the offer that was put on her table to come back. When producers did not budge, Campbell put out a statement that she would not be coming back and she wished the franchise well. Put a pin in that for next week.

In the meantime, Courtney Cox’s Gail Weathers was coming back, along with all survivors from next week, along with Hayden Panattiere’s Kirby, for an adventure/horror story that takes obsession with serial killers to a whole new level.

Join the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as they get into the logistics of 2023’s Scream 6, and Garrett and Adam once again watch an entry in this series for the very first time. Listen to Garrett get giddy over the return of Kirby and Adam obsesses over Samara Weaving. And of course there’s the controversy and review.

Come back next week as The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast closes out the Scream series by reviewing Scream 7, as well as reveal what series they’re starting next!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Eleven years after the release of Scream 3, producers were ready to try again. Though the difference is this time, they didn’t have too many schedules to work around. Everyone from Neve Campbell, Courtney Cox, and David Arquette, not to mention director Wes Craven, had nothing else going on and were ready to play in the Scream sandbox again.

Though Craven did have some some standards. If he was coming back, Kevin Williamson had to return to write it and the script had to be as good as the first film. So Williamson waited until a break in The Vampire Diaries TV show to churn out a script full of things Scream fans come to see. 

Yet, the fans didn’t show up. Once Scream 4 was finally released in April of 2011, even with the inclusion of Heroes’ Hayden Panetierre and the returning cast, the film landed with a thud. Is it warranted?

Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they review the last film of the series that Garrett has seen. Be sure to return next week as they review Scream (2022), a film of which only Matt has seen.

Remember, all this is a lead up to a review of the just released Scream 7!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[With Scream 2 in the foreground after certifying the series as a franchise, it would seem that everyone associated with the horror films had better things to do than come back for its (at the time) swan song. Specifically, star Neve Campbell and director Wes Craven. Campbell was working on Party of Five and a film called Drowning Mona. And Craven wanted to wade his way through the horror ghetto to do the Meryl Streep starring Music of the Heart. Writer Kevin Williamson submitted outlines, but he was also busy not only directing his first feature Teaching Mrs Tingle, but he was also doing a failed TV show called Wasteland.

Enter writer Ehren Kruger, who the Weinsteins hired to flesh out Williamson’s concepts. Though Kruger allegedly threw out these concepts and did a script that Craven was rewriting each day on the set. So once again we have a movie built on chaos. Does it rise above like before?

Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they review Courtney Cox’s hai…I mean, inclusion in this film, as well as a killer reveal Adam has no idea how to feel about. Does that warrant a good review??

	<itunes:summary><![CDATA[With Scream 2 in the foreground after certifying the series as a franchise, it would seem that everyone associated with the horror films had better things to do than come back for its (at the time) swan song. Specifically, star Neve Campbell and director Wes Craven. Campbell was working on Party of Five and a film called Drowning Mona. And Craven wanted to wade his way through the horror ghetto to do the Meryl Streep starring Music of the Heart. Writer Kevin Williamson submitted outlines, but he was also busy not only directing his first feature Teaching Mrs Tingle, but he was also doing a failed TV show called Wasteland.

Enter writer Ehren Kruger, who the Weinsteins hired to flesh out Williamson’s concepts. Though Kruger allegedly threw out these concepts and did a script that Craven was rewriting each day on the set. So once again we have a movie built on chaos. Does it rise above like before?

Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they review Courtney Cox’s hai…I mean, inclusion in this film, as well as a killer reveal Adam has no idea how to feel about. Does that warrant a good review??

	<description><![CDATA[As much as the first Scream lovingly poked the bear that was the 80s slasher genre, they played right into the same sensibilities those franchises did, as a sequel came out less than a year after the original was released to surprise success. It took a couple weeks to catch on. But once 1996’s Scream gathered the best word of mouth since Pulp Fiction from a couple years before, it sure didn’t take long for a sequel to get greenlit. 

Original writer Kevin Williamson, now the new hot writer on the block, was able to churn out a script, with original director Wes Craven back in the director’s chair. But, in a story that will oft get repeated through this entire film series, problems started taking hold of the production. Not the least of which was something called the internet getting a hold of the shooting script and leaking who the original killers were supposed to be. With rapid rewrites and ever changing schedules, were Craven and company able to release a film amongst a crowded end of 1997 (which included a little film called Titanic) that proved to be at least watchable?

Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they dissect Scream 2 and try to answer that question. As well as a whole host of others, including the question of whether Adam had actually seen this damn movie or not before this viewing.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[After a break from the genre, The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast has finally returned to horror! With a new Scream film hitting theaters this month, the co-hosts embark on reviewing the entire groundbreaking film series. Every franchise has to begin somewhere, and some believe that the 1996 original is the best of the entire series. But is it?

Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they begin their quest of answering that question. Listen to Adam and Garrett discuss how they initially saw the film that redefined the horror genre. They also talk about how Wes Craven essentially took the job that would help him change horror with Ghost Face in the 90s the same way Freddy did the same in the 80s. Finally, how do they all feel about the film today?

	<description><![CDATA[Nooo, we didn’t forget. around this time last year, we reviewed 1987’s Arnold Schwarzenegger starring film The Running Man. We knew there was a remake coming down the block, but we put it off for reasons we get into on the podcast.

When director Edgar Wright was asked a question on Twitter about what movie he wanted to remake, he did not hesitate in answering The Running Man. Producer Simon Kinberg (the X-Men franchise) saw the tweet and got this production going. Wright, with original author Stephen King’s approval, wrote up a script with his longtime collaborator Michael Bacall, and cast actor of the moment Glen Powell (Top Gun Maverick) in the Ah-nold role. Was the wait worth it?

Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they review their very first Edgar Wright film. Did he do the book justice? Is this up to Edgar Wright’s standards? Is King’s presence felt? They answer all these, and so much more, in this special release!

	<description><![CDATA[With two Punisher movies that yielded zero profit, it might be baffling to read that Lionsgate wasn’t done trying to make more films featuring the character. Perhaps even more baffling is the idea that star of 2004’s effort Thomas Jane was poised to come back to the skull shirted character.

But, with delays galore, as well as creative indifference to the direction Lionsgate wanted to take, both Jane and original director Jonathan Hensleigh walked off the project. Enter Ray Stephenson and recent Oscar nominated director -and former kickboxing champion- Lexi Alexander.

Speaking of fights, this podcast gets more confrontational than expected as Matt, Adam, and Garrett close out their Punisher series with this review of director Alexander’s resulting feature, 2008’s Punisher: Warzone.

One loves it, one is seeing it for the very first time, and one is baffled at its cult status. No matter who says what, we at Percolated Media want Ms Alexander to know they meant nothing by it.]]></description>

Directed by action screenwriter Jonathan Hensleigh (Die Hard With A Vengeance, Armageddon), 2004’s The Punisher was released to dwindling reviews and disappointing box office receipts. 

Yet, there is a love for it from some Punisher fans. So the question is, does anyone from The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast think so?

Directed by action screenwriter Jonathan Hensleigh (Die Hard With A Vengeance, Armageddon), 2004’s The Punisher was released to dwindling reviews and disappointing box office receipts.

	<description><![CDATA[New year, new time to be punished. Like last year, we are kicking off 2026 with another dent in the long running Marvel series. This time, we are going to watch three different movies with three different actors playing the character.

First, it’s Dolph Lundgren in 1989’s The Punisher. By 1989, Lundgren’s time in the sun was looking dim. Master of the Universe (which we MIGHT cover) was released with him playing the title character, and it ended up being a huge reason why Cannon Studios crumbled. Here, he’s actually in good hands, as noted action director Mark Goldblatt (Terminator 2) and Karate Kid screenwriter Robert Mark Kamen, were two of the people with action cred which tried to take The Punisher to the promised land.

Does he? You’ll have to listen to find out. Next week, the boys take on 2004’s Thomas Jane starring The Punisher!

Also, be sure to check out Matt and Garrett this Sunday as they go at it in horror trivia when they guest on the A Bloody Good Time Podcast!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[To the surprise of everyone despite Prey doing well critically and among audiences, we have two new installments of the Predator franchise in 2025. The first hit Hulu earlier this year. Under the help of Prey's Dan Trachtenberg, he chose to tell the next chapter as "chapters" in animation. In addition, it's an anthology that actually reconnects together all the stories both new and old.

How do we feel about this radical new direction and what is our excitement about Predator: Badlands? Tune in next week to hear our thoughts, rankings on the series and our first retro of 2026!

Disclaimer: We did review Prey upon it's release in 2022. It was part of our AVP retro that led into it as a new release. To listen to those reviews, please visit our archives!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Eight years after producer Robert Rodriguez had Adrien Brody went and fought the Predator -and Predator dogs, and bigger Predators, and Lawrence Fishburne- original Predator co-star Shane Black decided to take the reigns and see if he could make something a little more universally successful. The result, 2018’s The Predator.

Yet, once again, 20th Century Fox stepped in and decided to make life a living hell for all involved. Scenes were switched, a friend of Black’s had a small scene cut due to Olivia Munn finding out the other man in the scene -who was also a friend of Black’s- had a checkered past. And the ending ended up getting completely reworked. So what do Garrett, Matt, and Adam have to say?

This, was the podcast Matt and Garrett had been looking forward to since they started this series due to Adam once again having reservations to watching a movie in a franchise again due to an utter hatred for the film. It happened with Alien Covenant. Yet, unlike that 2017 film, Adam hadn’t finished watching The Predator until this viewing. Did he warm up to it?

Well, let’s just say this is one of those podcasts where Garrett and Matt just kind of stand back and let Adam go. The result, is one of the most one sided hatred ladened shows the guys have done since 2017’s The Last Jedi. Listen in to see how the others feel!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[After a set of Alien vs Predator films that failed to ignite any sort of passion from a hugely passionate set of fan bases, the pressure was on producer Robert Rodriguez to make a film that at least satisfy the Predator fan base. So after finally getting the green light to produce a script he’d started back in the mid 90s, Rodriguez found himself doing what he’d been wanting to do his entire career, which was make a Predator film.

But by the late 2000s, Rodriguez was also a very busy producer. He had had just made the flop Grindhouse with his buddy Quentin Tarantino, and was directing a spinoff from said flop called Machette. So he cast recent Oscar winner Adrien Brody in the lead and put Nimrod Antal (Frequency) in the director’s chair for the passion project of all passion projects. The result was a 2010 film that was once again heaped with mixed reviews upon release, with some calling it a return to Predator glory and others calling it a mediocre misfire.

Where do the co-hosts stand? With longtime Predator fan Adam Bunch finally getting to tell people what he thinks about Predators, gear up as the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast reviews the film scene by scene.

And if you’d like to hear the guys review the two previous Alien vs Predator films, be sure to check out the Percolated Media archives. Next week, another review Adam has been waiting to do for quite some time, a review of 2018’s The Predator!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[After the obviousness that was all our positive reviews of 1987’s original Predator film, we knew that starting this week there would be some chinks in the title character’s armor. Predator 2 was released around Thanksgiving in 1990 and  even with Jim and John Thomas returning to pen the script, to say it wasn’t received nearly as well would be an understatement. 

This may have to do with changing the director from well renowned action director John McTiernan to Aussie Stephen Hopkins (A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 The Dream Child). But the big change, of course, was changing out muscle bound full of machismo Ah-nold Schwarzenegger to Lethal Weapon’s ‘I’m too old for this shit’ Danny Glover.

Listen to the latest Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast to hear Adam and Garrett recount their theatrical experiences of seeing the film (as Matt laughs at the fact it came out three years before he was born), and of course give their expectations and overall thoughts as they revisit Predator 2 for this long form review.

Also, keep in mind that the co-hosts already reviewed the Alien Vs Predator films in the lead up to 2022’s Prey (check for those reviews in the archives), so next week’s review will be 2010’s Predators!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[After going through a month of movies involving stories about man eating sharks, The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast crew decided it would take on a series involving a different kind of predator. In fact, it’s about THE predator, which had another entry in the franchise come out a couple months ago.

But before they get there, as always, the guys have to start from where it all began. When 1987’s Predator was first greenlit, it is widely believed the reason was because it was piggybacking off the back of 20th Century Fox’s successes with two other space oriented franchises, Star Wars and Alien. What came of it was a new franchise that carried on with sequels and (the already covered) tie-ins that make Predator’s title creature amongst one of cinema’s most popular characters. Especially with Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast’s very own Adam.

Join Adam, Matt, and Garrett as they dive into director John McTiernan’s 1987 testosterone fueled Arnold Schwarzenegger original film,and lead up to a review of this year’s aforementioned film Predator Badlands!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[With Jaws now an official film franchise, Universal and its producers still wanted more. But they then did an unforeseen, seemingly desperate move of producing a script done by John Hughes and the rest of the National Lampoon clan called Jaws 3 People Nothing. Original producers Richard Zanuck and Robert Brown were allegedly onboard to do the film. But supposedly, original director Steven Spielberg came in and said that if the script was made, he was going to leave Universal forever.

So, Brown and Zanuck sold their rights to Alan Greenspan, who then got author and frequent Twilight Zone scribe Richard Matheson to come in and once again bring terrorizing sharks back to the beaches. But Greenspan got desperate after Matheson turned in a supposed unfilmable script and once again brought in Carl Gottlieb in and spice it up.

What was eventually come up with was filmed and brought forth before audiences by longtime Jaws 2nd unit director Joe Alves in the 3D wrought Jaws 3D. How did the film eventually go 3D? How much coke was star Dennis Quaid on during filming? What the hell is recent Oscar winner Lou Gossett Jr doing here? And what did Garrett hold this one up as his favorite Jaws film while growing up?

Soooo many questions, as well as what first time viewer Adam thinks of the film, are answered on this week’s Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast!

What was eventually come up with was filmed and brought forth before audiences by longtime Jaws 2nd unit director Joe Alves in the 3D wrought Jaws 3D. How did the fi]]></googleplay:description>

	<description><![CDATA[Against all odds, 1975’s Jaws was released and before long, was labeled a certified hit. So it’s safe to say that not firing a forward thinking young director for going over 100 days over budget paid off, and before the term was even uttered, Universal Studios had a franchise on their hands.

But what next? Well, it would only seem fit that they would capitalize on it with a sequel. Of course, the studio approached their young wunderkind Steven Spielberg to see if he would like to direct the follow up. But, after the nightmare that was the first one, plus his at the time complete disdain for anything and everything that was sequel related, Spielberg passed. So after a couple other attempts with a couple other directors, the studio settled on TV director Jeannot Szwarc. 

And despite the film running into many of the same problems the original did, (as well as a very disgruntled Roy Schneider being so angry about having to do this film he was getting in literal fights with Szwarc) Jaws 2 was released in 1978 and was a certified hit.

Despite this success, there was one person who it passed over, and that is our very own Adam Bunch. See, Adam has never seen Jaws 2. Until now. Join the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as they review Jaws 2, and find out if their love for the first one carries over onto this one.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[50 years ago, history was made as Jaws was released to theaters and took the first of a few steps (George Lucas would do the same thing a couple years later with a little space movie you might have heard of) in changing the way cinema was made and marketed to the masses. An argument can be made -and is made on this podcast- that 26 year old director Steven Spielberg got a lifetime mulligan in his career with completing the 1975 blockbuster to the masses. How else can you explain him being allowed to direct again after the release of 2004’s The Terminal?

But boy was it difficult getting there. Listen to this long awaited, near two hour Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as Garrett, Matt, and Adam go over everything that went into the infamously difficult shooting of Jaws, as well as review scene by scene one of movie history’s most important films. Or is it?

	<title>Percolated Media Presents: Poltergeist with David Furtney</title>

	<description><![CDATA[Happy Halloween everyone! Since we released The Long Walk podcast yesterday, we thought we’d give you guys a treat of some Poltergeist talk in this Halloween day, as Garrett’s two podcast co-hosts still haven’t done that film series with him, he had to get his love for Poltergeist out in some other way. Enter Poltergeist expert David Furtney!

Earlier this year Garrett interviewed his friend David Furtney about his love and knowledge of the movie Poltergeist. Not just the first one, but the sequels and remake as well. The interview itself was, in our opinion, very good and insightful. The problem was there just didn’t seem like an appropriate time to release said interview to you guys. We feel, October 31st is just as good a time as any. So here we go.

If you love Poltergeist, then this is the podcast for you. Garrett and David go into EVERYTHING about the productions of them all. From rumors of a Poltergeist curse, to details concerning a lawsuit filed against producer/writer Steven Spielberg regarding who actually wrote it, to Spielberg himself getting turned down by Stephen King when he approached the author to write it (and what the reason why that didn’t happen could be), to THAT rumor regarding who actually directed the 1982 original, to the troubled productions of parts 2 and 3, to the Sam Raimi produced 2014 remake, and ALL in between, David really takes us into the weeds as to how this series got made. Also, what made David love the series so much that he started a website about it (http://www.poltergeist.poltergeistiii.com), as well as what film in the franchise did he initially love most, and ssooo much more. We’d like to thank David for his patience and time, and we feel this interview is well worth the wait.

Also, Garrett gives his opinion on how 2025’s World Series is turning out, and then closes the show with some talk about the band Garbage and his attendance of a date on what is being hyped as their final North American headlining tour.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[As marketing ramped up for Jurassic World Rebirth, there were multiple questions about just what the hell this film was going to be. There was no Colin Trevorrow, no Chris Pratt, and no Bryce Dallas Howard. Instead, we had Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and, much to Adam’s chagrin, director Gareth Edwards (2014’s Godzilla). So, what exactly were we in for?

That’s what we’re here to discuss. With theatrical stories to tell, the guys come in and talk about what their expectations for Rebirth were going in, as well as if it lived up to any of them. This Jurassic World series has been a tough set of weeks for us. Can this update of ‘dinos on the chase’ be a nice end to the series?

Also, be sure to stay tuned until the end, as we talk about what we’re doing next, and it involves another big creature attacking story. Though this one, might be the one that started it all. What is it? Listen and find out!!]]></description>

This Jurassic World series has been a tough set of weeks for us. Can this update of ‘dinos on the chase’ be a nice end to the series?

Also, be sure to stay tuned until the end, as we talk about what we’re doing next, and it involves another big creature attacking story. Though this one, might be the one that started it all. What is it? Listen and find out!!]]></itunes:summary>

There was no Colin Trevorrow, no Chris Pratt, and no Bryce Dallas Howard. Instead, we had Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and, much to Adam’s chagrin, director Gareth Edwards (2014’s Godzilla). So, what exactly were we in for?

	<description><![CDATA[Despite not winning most critics over, Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom STILL cracked the $1 billion mark at the box office. This proved that people were still starved for dinosaurs. So Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow, fresh from his bomb Book of Henry, decided he was the one to close off this Jurassic World trilogy.

To do that he decided he was going to give fans a treat. He was going to bring back the OG Jurassic crew Sam Neil, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum, with our Jurassic World alumni Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. And despite once again not getting much criticism approval, 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion once again crossed the $1 billion mark.

Join OG Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast crew Garrett, Matt, and Adam, as they dissect the huge hit, and Garrett watches it for the very first time. Will Goudreau once again unleash on a dino hit? Download below to find out!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[After Jurassic World came out and was a massive success in 2015, Universal knew that once again dinosaurs were proven commodities. So, they came up with ways to once again bring them back. With World director Colin Trevorrow in the press saying he and his writing partner Derek Connelly had ideas for three total films, there were reasons to be excited. Especially if you were a Jurassic fan.

So, they hired director JA Bayona (A Monster Calls) to once again bring emotion to the series. And Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt were signed as well. The result? 2018’s Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. The film was once again released to $1 billion in box office receipts. But critics weren’t as impressed.

Do these critics include our three podcast hosts? Join Matt, Garrett, and Adam as they talk about their very different theatrical experiences and dive right into the Jurassic World film that brought gothic horror through its stone walls, and determine if Fallen Kingdom is worth your time.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Now that John Wick is behind us, time to start a new retrospective. Actually, it’s time to pick up from where an old one left off, as two years ago Garrett, Adam, and Matt reviewed the first three movies in the Jurassic Park film series, with every intention of eventually picking up from where they left off. Well, with Jurassic World Rebirth being released this year, we decided now was as good a time as any.

Before we get there, the guys review what started the whole Jurassic World Series, Colin Trevorrow’s 2015 upstart Jurassic World. Garrett gave it a so-so written review, Matt barely had any memory of it, and Adam had a blast in theaters with the Chris Pratt Bryce Dallas Howard starrer. So how do they feel now?

Listen in as the co-hosts trade stories on where they were in their lives at the time, as well as if all their opinions hold up today. And so much more on this, the first of a four part series!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[And then there was one. Here is our long built up review of Ballerina: From The World of John Wick. Starring Ana DeArmas and directed by Len Wiseman (Live Free or Die Hard) it would seem the franchise was going to be sent to other hands for its first of at least a few planned spinoffs.

However, that was not to be. Rumored bad dailies caused producers to get cold feet with their oncoming director and unproven female action star. So, they called in the cavalry. Enter Chad Stahelski, Keanu Reeves, and Angelica Huston. With lots and lots of new footage supposedly shot by Stahelski, we once again had a glued together with popsicle sticks version of a spinoff.

But is Ballerina a subject of bad press? Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they dissect the film and its many rumored behind the scenes problems, as well as determine if it’s better than it’s at the time of its release bad reputation.

Also, stay tuned to find out what the co-hosts are doing next.]]></description>

But, massive success followed. As did a Peacock prequel, and next week’s film Ballerina. We’ll talk about those in the next week. For now, we’ll dissect the near three hour third sequel, which was once again helmed by Chad Stahelski.

	<description><![CDATA[By the time 2019 rolled around, John Wick was a full fledged franchise. And despite its star being in his 50s, Keanu Reeves was still showing up, and still kicking ass in two previous movies which were massive hits. But Garrett wasn’t a huge fan of last week’s film. Could John Wick Chapter 3 Parabellum win him back?

Join him as well as Matt and Adam on the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as they let their thoughts on John Wick 3 be known. Does Halle Barry win them over? How about the desert scenes? And could this be the best of the series so far?

All these questions, as well as a lead up to the released earlier this year Ballerina: From The World of John Wick, is all set for you to download and listen to below]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Fresh off the surprise success of 2014’s John Wick, Summit Entertainment knew they had a hit on their hands. Better yet, they knew they had the beginning of what looked like a fruitful franchise. So they tried gathering the band back together again in hopes of continued financial achievement.

But while star Keanu Reeves and director Chad Stahelski, as well as writer Derek Kolstad were quickly onboard for the sequel, co-director David Leitch had other plans. More opportunities arose as the result of John Wick’s success, and Leitch wanted to grab that iron while it was still hot. Movies like Atomic Blonde and Deadpool 2 were what he decided to move on to.

But where does that leave John Wick Chapter 2, and would Leitch’s absence be a bad omen for the future of the franchise? Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they answer those questions, as well as give an in depth (and some would say surprising) review of 2017’s more successful John Wick sequel, John Wick Chapter 2.

	<description><![CDATA[To say Garrett was hesitant to watch one of his least favorite directors take on his most favorite comic book character in a feature film would be an understatement. But, that’s exactly what he did, and here is the result of how he felt after he and his co-hosts finally watched the long awaited reboot of the Superman franchise.

Matt and Adam come in with a nonchalant attitude towards the character, but love for at least one of James Gunn’s other films. What happens when you mix these two recipes? A two and a half hour podcast that not only reviews the film in detail. But also talks about the podcasters’ theatrical experiences, as well as what they were all expecting coming in.

	<description><![CDATA[After grossing over $80 million at the box office, you knew it was only a matter of time before the Jason Blum Blumhouse Puctures machine churned out another adventure involving Megan the killer AI doll. In fact, we even said as much on that podcast. Lo and behold, two years later, here we are discussing Megan 2.0!

With a terrible marketing campaign and even more terrible release date (in between Jurassic World Rebirth and Superman), it would seem that Megan 2.0 didn’t have a chance of making any sort of impact like her original 2023 venture did. But that doesn’t mean James Wan and company didn’t try to distinguish themselves.

Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they dissect the 2025 sequel and determine whether it deserves the beating it has taken from both critics and audiences. And be sure to listen to the end as we give a slight preview of what to expect when we review the aforementioned recently released to digital James Gunn directed Superman film.

This is over two and a half hours of the craziest review we’ve done in a long time. Listen to one of the co-hosts get gradually more disappointed until he gets full on pissed at what he’s sat through. Listen to another give some wild theories on what he believes Mission Impossible Final Reckoning is REALLY about. Finally, listen to the third…half heartedly defend it.

Stay tuned until the end, as we rank the movies from best to worst, as well as finally reveal what our next series is. Though, as established last week, the next review posted will actually be Megan 2.0. Then Superman (2025). Then the next full on series.]]></description>

Listen to another give some wild theories on what he believes Mission Impossible Final Reckoning is REALLY about. Finally, listen to the third…half heartedly defend it.

Stay tuned until the end, as we rank the movies from best to worst, as well as finally reveal what our next series is. Though, as established last week, the next review posted will actually be Megan 2.0. Then Superman (2025). Then the next full on series.]]></itunes:summary>

	<description><![CDATA[After the success and apparent finality of 2018’s Mission Impossible Fallout, it would seem that Tom Cruise and company could have moved on to other ventures. But the ‘success’ part will almost always cause filmmakers to come up with another story and keep going. But returning writer/director didn’t just come up with a one movie story. He came up with a two parter. Two near three hour films made to finally say goodbye to one of the most successful franchises of all time.

Here, the podcasters review part one of that venture, Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1. Listen in as they talk about the ratio of success regarding movie finales that have a ‘part one’, as well as their anticipation of the release of the first Mission Impossible movie in five years. Was it worth the wait?

Also, be sure to check out Garrett’s tribute to Hulk Hogan posted earlier this week, as well as next week’s release of the final Mission Impossible review (for now?), Mission Impossible The Final Reckoning.]]></description>

	<title>Percolated Media Presents: The Complicated Legacy of Hulk Hogan</title>

	<description><![CDATA[To say Hulk Hogan had a complicated legacy would be an understatement. On one end, he started a wrestling boom that despite some bumps along the road (which Matt and I are covering on our Tag Team Wrestling Podcast) eventually turned the then WWF into a juggernaut and publicly owned company. However, it was within these beginnings that Hogan helped put a stop to the possibility of a wrestling union being formed. On one end, he made hundreds of wrestlers millions of dollars. On the other, he has been accused of holding guys down and breaking promises to others.

And of course, you have his run in WCW, where he once again turned the wrestling world on its head, making it the top company for over 80 weeks. Yet, Hogan also was at the center of a Starrcade screw job that should have been a clean win for Sting, yet another broken program with Bret Hart, and the infamous Finger Poke of Doom. All of this doesn’t include his TNA run, and his foray into reality tv.

To cover this varied and sometimes controversial career, I turned to a guy who I have spoken about dead wrestlers with in the past. Tubi Tuesday’s very own Mike Batchelor (Batch) joins me to mostly talk about what Hulk Hogan the character meant to us as kids, and what we feel his lasting legacy will be.

I then end the show talking about how the next few weeks of our main Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast (we still have a new movie about a man in blue and red tights to cover) is going to look like, as well as planned future guests on Percolated Media Presents. Oh, and the very end of the show includes a little tribute to someone else who passed away last week, the one and only Ozzy Osbourne. Very sad week for us generation x’ers, one that we will never forget. Not for what the people were as individuals, but what they did to inspire us through their work.

Enjoy, and please come back as we finally put an end to our Ethan Hunt led Mission Impossible coverage!]]></description>

And, like its predecessor, Fallout went on to be both a critical and financial hit.

	<description><![CDATA[2015 was a MASSIVE year for franchises. Jurassic Park was about to get a whole reboot in the form of Jurassic World. James Bond was going to finally bring Blofeld and Spectre back in Spectre. Mad Max put the action genre on its head, coming back after 30 years with Mad Max Fury Road. And of course, Star Wars was finally brought back to the big screen in a big way with The Force Awakens. All of these, by the way, have been or will be reviewed by us at The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast, so we recommend checking those out in our archives.

The Mission Impossible franchise had a huge mountain to climb to stick out in a year where there were so many other things to choose from. But director Chris McQuarrie and company proved to be more than up to the task as Mission Impossible Rogue Nation was released and not only amongst the best received of the series. But it also grossed over $700 million worldwide and is still considered amongst the best in the franchise. Yeah, we’d say they stuck out.

Join the gang as they look at the fifth Mission Impossible movie Mission Impossible Rogue Nation, and decide for themselves if it deserves all its praise. And come back next week as they look at 2018’s Mission Impossible Fallout, and get closer to closing out the series.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The words Brad Bird and Mission Impossible wouldn’t seem to go together. But in star Tom Cruise’s eyes, they most certainly do, as 2011 saw the release of The Incredibles director helming the fourth Mission Impossible movie, Ghost Protocol.

With a cast that includes Paula Patton, Simon Pegg, and, oh yeah, Jeremy Renner, Ghost Protocol would prove to be a favorite amongst fans. Will this podcast panel feel the same?

Also, Garrett discusses the release of Zoo, the new novel from his old friend -and podcast partner- David Mayne.

With a cast that includes Paula Patton, Simon Pegg, and, oh yeah, Jeremy Renner, Ghost Protocol would prove to be a favorite amongst fans. Will this podcast panel feel the same?

Also, Garrett discusses the release of Zoo, the new novel from his old friend -and podcast partner- David Mayne.

	<description><![CDATA[In 2000, star Tim Cruise was in top of the world. By 2006, he had a bit of a PR problem. Though his previous film War of the Worlds was a certified hit, his off the screen presence was becoming more and more of a problem. Some people would say toxic. Getting in arguments played out in public with Brooke Shields’s about the need to do away with prescribed drugs. To marrying a woman who was twenty years his junior. And of course jumping on talk show couches proclaiming his love for said woman. Directors were not wanting to work with him. And the general public, the same people who had spent tons of money to buy tickets to his movies, was rapidly starting to turn on him.

So after a dissolved attempt to get David Fincher to direct Mission Impossible 3, perhaps the most important movie of Cruise’s career, who does he turn to in order to resurrect his career? An unknown in the cinematic universe director by the name of JJ Abrams. 

Listen to Matt, Garrett and Adam dissect the sequel that would set a tone that would permeate through the entire rest of the franchise. Matt, not the biggest Abrams fan, and Garrett, certainly have their opinions that have been known in the past. But what about Adam?

Stay tuned. mission Impossible Ghost Protocol isn’t far behind.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[By 2000, Tom Cruise was a made man. He had worked with Stanley Kubrick on the so-so erotic thriller Eyes Wide Shut, and even received an Oscar nomination for Magnolia. So in the interim between sequels, Cruise once again found himself in the position of being able to do anything. Why not return to the action franchise he had launched four years before?

Now being helmed by Face Off’s John Woo, and despite some pretty tepid reviews, Mission Impossible 2 proved to be a huge hit. It would also seem to have made itself an action star in the (ego?) adrenaline infused film that also starred the at-the-time upcoming X-Man Dougray Scott as the villain.

	<description><![CDATA[In 1996 Tom Cruise could have done whatever he wanted. He was married, had a positive public image, and the Academy was starting to recognize his work by nominating him for acting Oscars. However, seven months before he would try his hand at another shot at an Oscar with Jerry McGuire, he would add another perk to his resume. A perk that he would ride for nearly 30 years. That, of action star.

Being a huge fan of the original TV series, Cruise (and his producing partner Paula Wagner) went to Paramount studios to pitch an idea that would make him a part of the Impossible Mission Force in a feature version of Mission Impossible. A hiring of director Brian DePalma later, Cruise and company were on their way to a franchise that would mark both the positive and negative aspects of its lead star.

Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they talk about their overall view of the Mission Impossible franchise, their anticipation for how this podcast series will go. And of course, give their full on reviews of this 1996 original film.

But first, he’d star in the Stephen King adaptation The Running Man. Or is it a Richard Bachman adaptation? What’s the difference, and why would the rights to this book be $100,000, surprising the hell out of producer George Linder? We get into all of this, as well as a full review of the Paul Michael Glaser (Starsky?) directed film, in the podcast below.

Also, find out what franchise we’ll be attacking next. That is, should we choose to accept it. All this, as well as many puns, when you listen to this week’s Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[As we already established on our The Dead Zone podcast, 1983 was the Year of the King. That year, Stephen King fans were treated to not one, not two, but THREE adaptations of the author’s work. The Dead Zone, Christine, and Cujo. Now common usage to explain a mean dog, Cujo had next to zero meaning to people who picked the book up ready to read King’s first all out horror novel in years.

Like Drew Barrymore in Firestarter, producers once again used ET as a stepping point, and plucked everyone’s favorite mom Dee Wallace to star in a film about her and her son (Who’s The Boss’s Danny Pintauro) being terrorized by the film’s title character.

Listen in as Garrett, Matt, and Adam talk about the film many (King included) count as among their favorite adaptations of King’s work. Will Adam think the same as, unsurprisingly, this is yet another first time viewing for him? And how did Garrett stumble upon the book, making it the first King novel he ever read? Find out by clicking below!

And be sure to come back next week, as Matt finally gets to talk about Ah-nold Schwarzenegger when the co-hosts review the first Richard Bachman adaptation, The Running Man!]]></description>

That year, Stephen King fans were treated to not one, not two, but THREE adaptations of the author’s work. The Dead Zone, Christine, and Cujo. Now common usage to explain a mean dog, Cujo had next to zero meaning to people who picked the book up ready to read King’s first all out horror novel in years.

Like Drew Barrymore in Firestarter, producers once again used ET as a stepping point, and plucked everyone’s favorite mom Dee Wallace to star in a film about her and her son (Who’s The Boss’s Danny Pintauro) being terrorized by the film’s title character.

Listen in as Garrett, Matt, and Adam talk about the film many (King included) count as among their favorite adaptations of King’s work. Will Adam think the same as, unsurprisingly, this is yet another first time viewing for him? And how did Garrett stumble upon the book, making it the first King novel he ever read? Find out by clicking below!

And be sure to come back next week, as Matt finally gets to talk about Ah-nold Schwarzenegger when the co-hosts review the first Richard Bachman adaptation, The Running Man!]]></itunes:summary>

	<description><![CDATA[By 2022, Stephen King adaptations were five years into a renaissance that began with 2017’s adaptation of It. And after his successful Halloween legacy series began with a bang with 2018’s Halloween, producer Jason Blum also wanted to get in on the act of adapting King. So he hired Zac Effron and director Keith Thomas (The Vigil) to once again bring King’s Firestarter to the screen.

Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they look at the 2022 version of King’s 1980 novel that was generally panned by critics and audiences alike when it came out in the summer of 2022. Will they like it any better?

Note: if anyone knows where we can get our hands on a copy of Syfy’s Firestarter Rekindled, please let us know as it seems to of disappeared off the planet.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[After 1994’s The Stand proved to be a monumental hit, ABC and other networks were intent on bringing other Stephen King properties to the small screen. This is why we got things like The Langoliers, The Tommyknockers, Kingdom Hospital, among others.

But 20 plus years later, there were once again rumblings that The Stand was going to be adapted, this time with one film for the big screen. Directors like David Yates (Harry Potter) and Ben Affleck came and went from the project, all not knowing how they were going to keep the magnum opus book to one film. Enter Josh Boone (New Mutants) and Benjamin Cavell (Justified). With James Marsters (X-Men) and Alexander Skaarsgard (Big Little Lies) amongst many others -including two extremely toxic actors with turbulent personal lives- the nine part miniseries came and went at about the worst time imaginable for a piece of fiction about a virus that wipes out the world, which was the end of 2020.

Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they review all nine episodes -including a brand new coda written by King himself- and determine if this is the ultimate version of The Stand.

These consisted of The Dead Zone, Cujo, and Christine. The other two will get their just due on this podcast down the road. But today, we review The Dead Zone. A film touted as the teaming up of schlock director David Cronenberg (he wouldn’t make The Fly until three years later) and horror writer Stephen King. To top it off, Cronenberg tapped recent Oscar winner Christopher Walken to be this story’s lead Johnny Smith.

Join the Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast as Garrett continues taking listeners, as well as Matt and Adam, along on his journey through all of King’s cinematic adaptations with this review of The Dead Zone. Does Cronenberg’s toned down style satisfy Matt, a long time fan of the director? Will Adam EVER come into a movie in this series after having actually seeing the film in question BEFORE having to watch and review it for this podcast?

After years of trying to get a feature film adaptation of his beloved epic novel off the ground, King saw what ABC did with a miniseries adaptation of his novel It, and knew that’s how he wanted to adapt it.

With King writing the script himself and  future Shining miniseries director Mick Garris directing, King fans finally saw his magnum opus onscreen in a four night epic.

After years of trying to get a feature film adaptation of his beloved epic novel off the ground, King saw what ABC did with a miniseries adaptation of his novel It, and knew that’s how he wanted to adapt it.

With King writing the script himself and  future Shining miniseries director Mick Garris directing, King fans finally saw his magnum opus onscreen in a four night epic. Garrett leads the discussion as Matt and Adam watch the 1994 adaptation for the very first time. Will they be pleasantly surprised?

Denounced by critics and audiences alike, the $200 million film didn’t even gross half its budget back. Yet, the film has enjoyed a healthy presence on streaming, meaning there is a good chance Vaughn may get his wish and continue on with the Kingsman franchise.

	<description><![CDATA[With The Golden Circle making almost as much as the original Kingsman movie, Fox felt like they had a franchise on its hands. Yet, director Matthew Vaughn had plans that had nothing to do with continuing the story of Eggsy. Instead, he wanted to pull a George Lucas and go back to the beginning. The result is 2021’s The King’s Man, a WW1 set prequel that tells the story about how The Kingsman came to be. Or does it?

Join Matt, Adam, and Garrett as they review the perceived flop and determine whether the film is worth the derision it has received. And be sure to NOT play a drinking game to how many times Adam or Matt mention 2017’s Wonder Woman. Otherwise you will fall dead by the podcast’s end.

	<description><![CDATA[Two years after setting the box office ablaze with Kingsman The Secret Service, director Matthew Vaughn was back with Kingsman The Golden Circle. This time, he had a couple more Oscar winners (Jeff Bridges, Julianne Moore) cast, as well as a certain flamboyant singer. So given he had everything he wanted at his disposal this time, it would seem Vaughn had successfully made his ‘Empire Strikes Back’.

Or did he? Join Matt, Garrett, and Adam as they dissect a film whose script Vaughn has proclaimed to be the hardest he’s ever written. While the box office would say audiences still flocked to his zaniness, how do our podcast hosts feel about it? After all, Garrett is watching The Golden Circle for the very first time, while the two others had theatrical experiences associated with it.

	<description><![CDATA[After taking on Kick Ass and proving his worth with X-Men First Class, it would seem director Matthew Vaughn was primed for a career directing Marvel properties. But for reasons that are still unclear, Vaughn left X-Men Days of Future Past, and reunited with writer Mark Millar to come up with their own comic book called Kingsman.

Before long, Vaughn had another property to take on and in 2015, he directed and released the feature (now) comic book film Kingsman: The Secret Service.

Join Matt, Garrett, and Adam as they look at the film which has almost zero stars, yet grossed over $400 million and spawned a certified franchise. What do they feel about it, specifically Samuel L Jackson as main villain Valentine? This, and many more questions are answered in the podcast below.

	<description><![CDATA[While a sequel to Kick-Ass wasn't the unlikeliest occurrence, losing director Matthew Vaughn did create some concern. They also lost Nicolas Cage but gained an actor of similar stature in Jim Carrey. What they didn't plan on was for the later to walk back his involvement as the movie was about to come out.

	<description><![CDATA[As the boys continue tredging through their Miscellaneous Marvel characters, this week they have run into a doozy. Man Thing is a character who hung out with Howard The Duck in the comics. But other than that, there’s not much identification with him apart from being a side show character made up right around the time DC’s Swamp Thing made its first appearance.

So who better to bring it to the screen other than the one man who was sued by Children of the Corn’s creator Stephen King. That’s right, the boys already covered filmmaker Brett Leonard when they reviewed The Lawnmower Man last year. And here they’re doing it again, as Leonard brought an origin story with him, along with a horror aesthetic, and the chick from 2007’s Transformers.

As Garrett, Adam, and Matt already covered the SciFi channel original Children of the Corn remake from 2009, will they still have any venom left for this other SciFi original, which was originally supposed to go to theaters. And oh yeah, was produced by future Marvel powerhouse producer himself Kevin Feige.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[For years, the three of us have been asked when we were going to start covering Marvel films. After all, we did the two big DC characters over the span of a couple years. Why, in the years that we’ve been together, and Marvel has gone from being on top of the world to being just another Disney acquisition, have we not also dived right into the Marvel page to screen adaptations?

Well, we get into all of this on this very podcast. But let’s just preface this show by saying, we have tried in the past, only to know we were going to get debunked. After all, we can’t just do Marvel proper. As the other podcasters have found out while covering Stephen King, Garrett needs to do it ALL.

Which brings us to this week’s show. Listen to the boys discuss these exact reasons, as well as why they are starting with 1986’s Howard The Duck, and then, oh yeah, reviewing what is widely considered one of the worst films of all time. Do Garrett, Adam, and Matt agree?

Keep coming back, as their journey moves on next week, and let’s just say the prospect of these movies getting better doesn’t look too good.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Well, we were going to get to it eventually. When Transformers One was released in the fall of 2024, we at Percolated Media were up to our eyes in Stephen King and Beetlejuice retrospectives. Garrett and Matt wanted to wait until the schedule was in between retros before finally reviewing the latest fighting robots film, this one directed by Josh Cooley (Toy Story 4).

They weren’t the only ones who stayed away from the film while it was in theaters. Despite being amongst the best reviewed of the entire franchise, Transformers One underperformed at the box office. Was it deserved?

Join Matt and Garrett as they once again bring Garrett’s fiancé (and only noted fan of the entire Transformers film franchise that they know) Jen to the third podcast seat, and the three of them review the Chris Hemsworth led film that details the origins of the relationship between Optimus Prime and Megatron. And if you listened last week, you know to be sure to come back next week, as Matt and Garrett  are set to bring Adam back to finally get to their deep dive into Marvel productions. Where are they going to start? With Howard The Duck!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[By the time 1998 rolled around, everyone involved in the Lethal Weapon franchise were on to other things. Most notably star Mel Gibson, whose directorial effort Braveheart had won multiple Oscars three years before. You’d think it would have taken an almost perfect script to reunite everyone for a fourth and final(?) installment of the bread and butter franchise that set up their careers. I said, you’d THINK the script would have to be perfect. Welllll……

Join Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they review Lethal Weapon 4, and Garrett & Adam recount when they saw it in theaters in May of 1998. Also stay tuned until the end, as Garrett talks about what he thought of the 2016 Fox TV show. Then, the boys talk about what’s next for the network. One, is a continuation of an old series Matt would like to see go away. The other? A series that is ten years in the making. Listen below to find out what it is!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[After Lethal Weapon 2 came out and became the third highest grossing film of that year, producers wanted more. So Jeffrey Boam, along with his buddy Robert Mark Kamen (The Karate Kid) once again churned out a script, director Richard Donner came aboard, and everything was one big happy shoot! Of course, this isn’t the whole story. So download the show below to find out how Lethal Weapon 3 REALLY happened.

Plus, what does Princess Leia have to do with it? How hard was it to get Joe Pesci signed on immediately after winning his Oscar? Why was Rene Russo brought in? Find out as Garrett, Adam, and Matt break all this down, as well as give their thoughts on one of 1992’s biggest action films.

Also, come back next week as we close this series out and announce our next long form retro that will only rival Stephen King as far as length. Hint, it’s something we’ve been asked to do since we started ten years ago!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[As we’ve already covered at other times on this podcast, 1989 was a golden year for film, specifically the action genre. Since we already reviewed Batman (1989) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989), it is now time to cover that year’s third place box office winner, Lethal Weapon 2.

Franchises weren’t really a thing yet, but after the splash the first Lethal Weapon made on video, not to mention the 80s action wave being cemented by Die Hard the year before, producer Joel Silver was adamant that it was time for a new Lethal Weapon. So he called his wonderkind Shane Black to write another one, which he did with his friend Warren Murphy. But director Richard Donner wasn’t too happy with what he came up with, so he once again brought in Jeffrey Boam to do some touch ups. Though if you ask Black, he had completely rewritten what he wrote.

But the result, is a slam bang action romp that, as already established, was a box office hit. Do the boys enjoy where the series went? And besides ‘diplomatic immunity’, what is memorable about it?

	<description><![CDATA[Though we’ve done the Superman series (check our archives for those shows) we would be reminded if we did not cover the OTHER franchise director Richard Donner made into a successful series of films. With a script by a hot shot scriptwriter named Shane Black, Donner set off to turn Lethal Weapon into a slam bang stand alone film. We know how that turned out.

But before we get to the sequels, we have to cover the 1987 original. Casting already covered by us in Mad Mad Mel Gibson and dramatic actor Danny Glover, Donner had to see the actors’ chemistry alone was going to make for a good time at the movies.

Or did it? Listen to Garrett, Matt, and Adam as they go over the ways all of them discovered this franchise, before dissecting one of the 80s most beloved action films. Do all of them agree? Come on, you know us by now.]]></description>

Listen in as we continue on our "journey" to review all the Children of the Corn entries to close out this chapter of Stephen King. Will this "final sacrifice" be what Adam wants to occur during this show? Or will be press on like a good soldier to block out the pain? Is there anything positive to say about this entry in comparison to the original? Tune in to find out and we hope you have a great weekend!

As a disclaimer, since the remaining installments are all direct to video releases, we will be increasing our output to two-three Corn shows a week. This will help us get back on track and allow Adam and Matt to finally get out of this series. Garrett has been hard at work editing so we'll be able to stick to this plan until its conclusion.]]></description>

Will this "final sacrifice" be what Adam wants to occur during this show? Or will be press on like a good soldier to block out the pain? Is there anything positive to say about this entry in comparison to the original? Tune in to find out and we hope you have a great weekend!

As a disclaimer, since the remaining installments are all direct to video releases, we will be increasing our output to two-three Corn shows a week. This will help us get back on track and allow Adam and Matt to finally get out of this series. Garrett has been hard at work editing so we'll be able to stick to this plan until its conclusion.]]></googleplay:description>

	<description><![CDATA[What better way to bring in Thanksgiving, a holiday full of eating food, laughing with relatives, and watching football, than with beginning our series that’s going to close our look at Stephen King’s Night Shift Collection. That’s the good news. The bad news, is Children of the Corn is a series that contains 11 movies!

Here, we start from the beginning, 1984’s original Linda Hamilton starring original film. King himself wrote a treatment that got discarded because one, he didn’t have nearly as much clout at this time. But  as a result of King being booted from the creative process of making the movie, the oncoming regime of director Fritz Kiersch and screenwriter George Goldsmith had to work with a budget that was sliced by half a million dollars, which was given to the disgruntled author in order to retain his name in the credits.

And this is just the beginning. Listen in as Garrett, Matt, and Adam start what is both literally and figuratively amongst the longest retrospectives they have ever done. Can they last this part of the King retrospective without killing each other with scythes? Download the show to find out!!]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[Whether you like the film or not, it can definitely be argued that 2019’s Joker was a full story. In fact, when they reviewed it two years ago, The Three Men A Retrospective Podcast said just as much. However, by the end of that year, we had gotten word that Todd Phillips and company were working on a sequel.

So given the first film grossed over $1 billion, they had their green light. With Lady GaGa signing on, they had their Harlie Quinn. And with the announcement that the film was a musical, they had their genre. 

Or did they? Listen in as Garrett, Adam, and Matt discuss whether Phillips was true tk his word and made a musical, as well as if Joker Folie a Deux is as bad as its reputation perceives it to be.]]></description>
