To finish by 2025, we will post the final two Corn entries on New Year’s Eve. Enjoy this review of Part VII until then!

Children of the Corn 666: Isaac’s Return (1999)
We have officially hit the halfway benchmark in this retrospective. To “celebrate” the occasion, we have the return of original mainstay John Franklin as both as actor and storyteller. How do the boys feel about this installment? Is the movie as absurd as this title? Listen to find out.
Children of the Corn IV: The Gathering (1996)
Apologies for the upload delay, as we experienced some technical glitches in our site. We’re back and are going to post a Corn show every day until we’re caught up. Thanks for listening and here’s our next review in the franchise!
Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest (1995)
Who says theatrical releases are the exclusive movies that we review on these airwaves? Well, I think Garrett has made that exception for EVERYTHING in the world of Stephen King. I hope this answers why we are posting on a Wednesday. Between that and Adam/Matt wanting to go through this series like a tractor through an abandoned cornfield.
Here’s our review of the first direct to video installment in the Children of the Corn franchise! We’ll review Part 4 on our regularly scheduled Friday and continue this style until its conclusion. Let’s hope no one snaps by then and we no longer are friends.
Monday Night Wars Episode XII: WCW Uncensored (1996)
Garrett and Matt return to the ring after quite some time away. What a way to make their comeback by discussing a show with an infamous main event. It was the Mega Powers re-teaming against the Alliance to End Hulkamania in a match so big they needed multiple levels. The boys discuss all that and the preceeding events as they look at WCW Uncensored 1996.
Come back next week for their first Wrestlemania review of #12!
Children of the Corn II: The Final Sacrifice (1992)
Nothing screams Thanksgiving quite like this title. 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.
Children of the Corn (1984)
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!!
Joker: Folie a Deux (2024)
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.
Alien: Romulus (2024)
It’s finally here. After months of start stops, with interruptions of Beetlejuice and some vampires re-invading Salem’s Lot, we have finally come to the review the Alien retrospective was designed to end with. Welcome, to the Three Men and a Retrospective’s review of director Fede Alvarez’s Alien Romulus.
Listen in as the boys discuss their theatrical experiences, and then dive right in to a film that was seven years in the making. Despite major highlights for all, the three weren’t really looking forward to this new rendition of the ‘perfect organism’. So Alvarez had an uphill battle. But positive reviews were coming in, which made one look forward to the movie more than he initially thought.
So download and listen to Garrett, Adam, and Matt dive into their conclusion to Alien. And then reveal what they’re reviewing next. And, well, let’s just say we have a ton of corn to go through.
Salem’s Lot (2024)
A little over two years ago, the boys reviewed three Salems Lot adaptations thinking they were leading up to a new version of it produced by James Wan. Well, they did get it, they just had to wait over two years.
Welcome to the review over two years in the making. With Garrett the huge fan of the novel and, to a lesser extent, the two miniseries, was he looking forward to this new one directed by Paul Dauberman? And will the new aesthetic help Adam and Matt give their endorsement of a series they really didn’t like to begin with?
Listen below to find out, as The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast continue on with their look at the onscreen adaptations of author Stephen King
Alien: Covenant (2017)
Prometheus was released in Summer of 2012 and sparked both box office revenue and feverous debate. What once was thought to be a single Alien prequel was then on the track to being a “trilogy” of installments. It took five years and almost as many screenwriters before we would return to the world established in 1979.
Ridley Scott was back in the director’s chair for Alien: Covenant, but it was an underachiever with audiences and seemingly failed to bring in viewers the same way it’s predecessor had. Some people, one of who appears on this podcast, even swore he’d never watch it again.
Has time fared any better to an installment that seemingly won’t be followed upon? For those answers and our review of Alien: Romulus next week, stick around for our retrospective!
