  • Welcome to another episode of Death Don’t Do Fiction, the AIPT Movies podcast! The podcast about the enduring legacy of our favorite movies! It’s November, so that means it’s time for our “Xenovember” series, where we cover movies involving otherworldly creatures! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss the divisive 1999 techo-alien nightmare on water, Virus!

    Splitting headaches! Amusingly-dated 90s computer tech! Flirty chess foreplay! Unconvincing use of nautical terminology! Convenient escape chutes! A fast paced opening! A scene that was possibly referenced in 2022’s Moonfall? FleshTech Borganisms! Casual reactions to horrible sights that would make Pinhead blush! An interesting (though occasionally miscast or uncommitted) cast that includes Jamie Lee Curtis, William Baldwin, an underused Cliff Curtis, the guy with Kuato growing out of him from Total Recall, a scene-stealing Sherman Augustus, and Donald Sutherland making one of the fastest greed-induced descents into madness you’ve ever seen! Impressive practical FX and animatronics, plus CGI overseen by the legendary Phil Tippett! A compelling argument against wireless technology with topical commentary on humans destroying the planet! All that and more in a film the lead actor claims is the worst movie ever made!

    In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on the new Canadian psychological thriller, Red Rooms, Gaspar Noé’s Climax, and Zoe Saldana’s new musical crime dramedy, Emilia Pérez!

It’s November, so that means it’s time for our “Xenovember” series, where we cover movies involving otherworldly creatures! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss John Carpenter’s 1982 Lovecraftian nightmare on ice, The Thing!

    An iconic opening title sequence! Frozen bloodcicles! A cast of actors that seem like real people! Locations, sound, and lighting that actually make you feel colder while you watch! Norwegian characters giving away the plot! A surprising nose piercing! Very gross body horror mixed with suspense and mystery! A high watermark for practical creature FX thanks to the legendary Rob Bottin! The first movie in Carpenter’s “Apocalypse Trilogy!” One of the great remakes of the 80s, alongside The Fly and The Blob! A frequently-debating ending that’s fun to theorize about, or enjoy as it is! A claustrophobic sense of dread, paranoia, and fear, brought to horrible life by a classic score by Ennio Morricone and John Carpenter himself! You’ll never look at blood tests and defibrillators the same way again!

    In addition, Tim shares his spoiler-free thoughts on another adaptation of the novella “Who Goes There?,” 1972’s Horror Express! While Alex does the same for Juror #2, Heretic, Anora, and Steven Kostanski’s newest film, Frankie Freako!

A shockingly-petty immortal screaming at children and spitefully destroying their property! A fun horror romp with a great concept that plays out like a slightly-more-adult Amblin movie! Were you a The Goonies kid, or a The Monster Squad kid?!

    In addition, the gang shares some brief spoiler-free reviews of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, 1962’s Tales of Terror, Terrifier 3, Smile 2, and Timo Tjahjanto’s newest gory action-masterpiece, The Shadow Strays!

Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis not only turning in two of their best performances, but also documenting their real-life relationship in an incredibly bizarre way! John Getz as an oddly-endearing scumbag! Someone saying the word “flesh” a lot! Love in the face of intense goopiness! Arm-wrestling that puts Over the Top to shame! David Cronenberg cameoing as a gynecologist! An incredible, but frustratingly-messy loft apartment! Unforgettable FX from Gremlins-designer Chris Walas! One of the few perfect remakes of the 1980s, that also captures the struggle between art and love, in a movie that’s effectively a dark, alternate take on Spider-Man! Be afraid, be very afraid!

    In addition, Matt shares his spoiler-free thoughts on The Wild Robot, Alex does the same for I Saw the TV Glow, V/H/S/Beyond, and Castle Freak, while Tim acknowledges finally seeing Deadpool & Wolverine!

    Cloud fondling! Pizza printers! A dive bar full of human bones! A rich person’s underground lair that includes a surgery igloo! Kinetic camera work and shocking violence! A great score! Logan Marshall-Green being surprisingly funny while showing off his incredible robot dance moves and making you wonder why he’s not a bigger star! Tech-based classism in an eerily-recognizable future! Body horror via technology! Themes of post-humanism in this tale of an A.I. reliant dystopia that could make a perfect triple feature with RoboCop and The Crow!

A movie that not only seemingly influenced Pacific Rim and Edge of Tomorrow, but is also kinda Rocky IV with giant robots! Crash and burn!

    In addition, the gang shares their spoiler-free thoughts on Alien: Romulus and M. Night Shyamalan’s Trap, while Alex does the same for The First Omen, Hit Man, and Electric Boogaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of Cannon Films!

A wonderful cast that includes Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Richard Attenborough, BD Wong, Wayne Knight, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jeff Goldblum originating an iconic internet meme! Incredible animatronics from Stan Winston, and pioneering VFX from Industrial Light & Magic! One of the greatest blockbusters of all time, full of thrills and moments of horror, that harkens back to one of Steven Spielberg’s first films and the original blockbuster, Jaws! Is The Fabelmans a spiritual prequel to Jurassic Park, showing the seductive nature of connection through spectacle, a lesson which John Hammond learns the hard way?!

    In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Longlegs!

The best music, mobile phone technology, and “indie sleaze” fashion 2008 had to offer! A strong cast of actors who were fairly unknown at the time, including Lizzy Caplan, Odette Annable, and T.J. Miller! A brisk pace with efficient storytelling and situational character development! A kaiju movie shot entirely from the POV of everyday people!

  • It’s June, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Junesis” series! Where we cover movies based on/revolving around video games! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt are joined by artist and friend Chrissy Kurpeski to discuss Edward Furlong’s unfortunate run-in with a fictional video game, 1994’s Brainscan!

    A fantastic concept with mixed results! Excessive milk drinking! A lovable musical motif that works no matter how often it’s overused! A very non-slashery slasher with a script from the guy who wrote Se7en! Potentially the most oddly “romantic” portrayal of voyeurism since Body Double! An entertaining cast that includes Edward Furlong being himself, a charmingly-sleepy Frank Langella, and T. Ryder Smith as the confusingly-likable gothic punk harbinger of digital doom, The Trickster! A 90s time capsule that examines the demonization of media, the growing obsession with video games, and the early stages of the internet! A movie that’s not only a great double feature pairing with 1986’s Trick or Treat, but also seems to suggest that violent video games are merely an escape from the true horrors of being a teenager!

    In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on the newest entry in one of his favorite movie series, Bad Boys: Ride or Die!

  • It’s June, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Junesis” series! Where we cover movies based on/revolving around video games! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt are joined by comic book artist/writer Tony Sedani (Return to Rander, Skin Deep), to discuss Paul W.S. Anderson’s first journey into the world of video game adaptations, 1995’s Mortal Kombat!

    Endearingly dated VFX! A lovably awkward-looking four-armed monster man with back problems! A delicious turkey dinner being heartlessly discarded! Surprisingly faithful character designs! An unexplained cybernetic eye! More high kicks than you can count! A committed cast that includes Robin Shou, Bridgette Wilson, Linden Ashby, Trevor Goddard, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, and a wonderfully-miscast Christopher Lambert! An iconic EDM soundtrack that not only influenced future Mortal Kombat games, but possibly also The Matrix and 1998’s Blade! An enjoyably sincere and campy movie with vibrant colors and impressive sets that looks shockingly expensive by modern standards, which despite its watered down gore, may also be one of the most faithful and successful video game adaptations of all time!

    In addition, everyone shares their spoiler-free thoughts on Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, while Tony talks about In A Violent Nature, and Alex discusses the remarkably bizarre 1999 rom-com, Never Been Kissed!

  • It’s May, which means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Mayhem” series! Where we cover movies that kick ass in the literal sense! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss Michael Mann’s “night on the town with a hitman” action-thriller, Collateral!

    The city of Los Angeles presented as a supporting character! Jamie Foxx and Tom Cruise in two of their best roles! Twists and turns! Early digital cinematography that grounds you in the “reality” of the story! Shocking, sudden violence! Improvisation that even the most accomplished jazz musician couldn’t see coming! A “frenemy” action thriller that ponders the pitfalls of rumination and perfectionism, in what may be a shockingly good double feature with Michael Bay’s Ambulance! Dark, empty streets and subway stations have never looked so good!

    In addition, Tim recommends 1978’s Mr. No Legs before he’s even seen it! While Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Backdraft, Mute Witness, and what could end up being his favorite movie of 2024, The Fall Guy!

  • It’s May, which means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Mayhem” series! Where we cover movies that kick ass in the literal sense! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss 2009’s chaotic jolt of adrenaline in movie form, Crank: High Voltage!

    Over the top action and visuals! A surprise kaiju battle! Disgusting sound effects! Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite! Cameos for fans of the Spice Girls, Linkin Park, Tool, and Nine Inch Nails! Jason Statham fully committing to complete lunacy! Amy Smart giving a fearless performance and delivering one of the most satisfying short fight scenes in movie history! A movie that takes (often insane and offensive) chances, coming off like a movie adaptation of a video game released by Troma! For better or worse, there’s no other movie quite like it!

    In addition, Tim and Matt share their spoiler-free thoughts on Late Night with the Devil, while Alex talks about Abigail, 2019’s Charlie’s Angels, 1993’s The Fugitive, and Kurt Russell’s 1997 nailbiter, Breakdown!

  • It’s April, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “No EscApril” series, where we celebrate the wonder of thrillers! Not quite horror, not quite action, that sweet spot in the middle where danger is afoot, and lives are still on the line! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss Alfred Hitchock’s mistaken-identity mystery thriller, North by Northwest!

    Possibly the most iconic gray suit in movie history! Classic filmmaking techniques and visual effects! A cornucopia of fantastic mid-century design and fashion, featuring the work of legendary artist Saul Bass! Cary Grant being surprisingly charming while running away from an airplane! Eva Marie Saint as an early archetype for the modern femme fatale! A fun, punchy script full of twists and suspense! A movie that not only created the template for the James Bond series, but also influenced countless other movies, such as Catch Me If You Can and Total Recall (we think)!

    In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Civil War and Law Abiding Citizen!

    Breathtaking stunt work that includes an incredible Parkour chase sequence! Countless exotic locations! That creepy Body Worlds exhibit! A now-classic Bond theme from the late and great Chris Cornell! Disturbing torture methods! Surprisingly tense gambling scenes thanks to veteran director Martin Campbell! A solid cast that includes Mads Mikkelsen weeping blood, Eva Green, Jeffrey Wright, an irreplaceable Judi Dench, and Daniel Craig seamlessly owning the iconic role of James Bond! A movie that adds depth and complexity to a well-established character, showing that reboots/prequels CAN work if done correctly!

    In addition, Tim recommends the 2009 anime, Redline, while Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Ricky Stanicky and his beloved Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire!

  • It’s March, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Get Your Ass to March” series! Where we cover movies that relate to the planet Mars and/or the 1990 sci-fi classic, Total Recall! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt kick off the series by discussing another film set on that mysterious and alluring red planet, John Carpenter’s 2001 space-action-horror flick Ghosts of Mars!

    Shocking deaths and beheadings! A deeply misguided attempt to impress a girl with one’s can-opening skills! A flashback within a flashback within a flashback! Creepy Mars vibes and visuals that evoke the fear of a nightmare on a dead planet! Hot Topic space-zombies with muppet voices! A possibly-miscast Natasha Henstridge! Pam Grier! Young Jason Statham with some degree of hair! Ice Cube having a lot of fun at least! A somewhat misunderstood attempt at a crowd-pleasing blockbuster from legendary director John Carpenter, that continues his impressive and distinctive work as a composer, even if it’s occasionally a little too metal for its own good!

    In addition, Tim and Alex share their spoiler-free thoughts on Dune 2, while Alex talks about another late-career John Carpenter joint, Escape from L.A.!

    Hologram gags! Explosive decompression! Disturbingly inhuman, cab-driving robots! A classic musical score from Jerry Goldsmith! Bone-crunching sound FX! The psychic space mutant, Kuato! The quickest divorce you’ve ever seen! Possibly the greatest human-shield in movie history! Incredible, kinda-gross-looking practical FX from the reclusive and legendary Rob Bottin! A wonderful cast that includes an unrecognizable Hank from Breaking Bad, Michael Ironside’s weird run, Ronny Cox playing his character from RoboCop, Sharon Stone and Rachel Ticotin in a rough & tumble girl fight, and Arnold Schwarzenegger delivering some of the greatest one-liners of his career! The satirical carnage of Paul Verhoeven meets the larger-than-life theatrics of an Arnold movie in this exploration of class, capitalism, and the hidden desires of the human psyche! The planet Mars never looked so good!

    In addition, Alex shamefully admits that he had never seen the Nicolas Cage/John Cusack action-banger, Con-Air, until recently, and shares his spoiler-free thoughts!

  • It’s February, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Shredruary” series! Where we cover movies that revolve around music or musicians! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss iconic genre director Walter Hill’s 1984 Rock n’ Roll Fable, Streets of Fire!

    A scary biker gang led by an unnerving-yet-alluring Willem Dafoe! A terrifying Ed Begley Jr.! Infectious music from Jim Steinman, Ry Cooder, Dan Hartman, Stevie Nicks, The Blasters, and Boston-based new wave band, Face to Face! Diane Lane looking incredible while playing one of the greatest fictional rock stars of all time! A story out of time, transporting you to a world that feels both nostalgic and somewhat futuristic (for the time it was released at least)! A sonic and visual feast, this movie was made for fans of noirs, cars, and motorcycle bars!

    In addition, Alex shares his spoiler-free thoughts on the new Aaron Eckhart action movie, The Bricklayer, and the South Korean revenge thriller, Ballerina!

  • It’s February, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Shredruary” series! Where we cover movies that revolve around music or musicians! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss 2001’s satirical musical comedy, Josie and the Pussycats!

    Endless product placement! A classic and catchy soundtrack that features Letters to Cleo’s Kay Hanley and (we think) Matthew Sweet! A consistently funny movie that effortlessly bounces between witty, subversive moments and silly, slapstick comedy! Fun, creative direction from Can’t Hardly Wait’s Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont! A perfect cast that includes Rachael Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson, Tara Reid, Parker Posey, Alan Cumming, Missi Pyle, possibly the greatest boy band of all time, Dujour, and the vocal talents of Mr. Moviefone! A misunderstood, ahead of its time gem - with a sweet message about being true to yourself and not getting caught in the cogs of consumerism - that has found the cult following it deserves despite its disappointing box office!

    In addition, Tim shares his spoiler-free thoughts on 1988’s Alien Nation and the Oscar-winning cinematographer of Cool as Ice, while Alex talks about Shin Ultraman, Knight and Day, The Beekeeper, and Sniper G.R.I.T.!

  • It’s January, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies Podcast’s “Uncannuary” series! Where we cover movies that feature superheroes or vigilantes, either adapted from comics or created specifically for the big screen! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss the 1994 supernatural-action-bummer-noir, The Crow!

    An iconic soundtrack! A city so dangerous and depressing it’ll make you want to move to Gotham! Terrifying, heartless villains! Amazing cinematography and production design! Great action and stunts, including what may be the best rooftop-running scenes of all time! Ernie Hudson, Michael Wincott, David Patrick Kelly, Tony Todd, and what would have been a star-making performance from the late Brandon Lee! A borderline miracle in terms of quality (considering the mid-production tragedy), this dark, sad, somewhat funny, and surprisingly sweet story gives you a totally different kind of comic book movie!

    In addition, Matt, Tim, and Alex share their favorite movies of 2023!

  • It’s January, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Uncannuary” series! Where we cover movies based on comic books or original ideas with similarly “superhuman” characters! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss the martial arts/creature FX direct-to-video classic, Guyver: Dark Hero!

    Some of the greatest laser-graffiti you’ve ever seen! A pulsating neck wound! Squibs! Theme music that will live in your brain for days after watching! Ancient alien lore that almost makes Ridley Scott’s Prometheus look like a more expensive remake with fewer jump kicks! A borderline miracle of low-budget cinema filled with charm and glorious fight choreography! One of the original “soft reboots,” packed with incredible creature FX - including the stunning Guyver suit - all brought to you by FX legend and director Steve Wang! Are you currently surrounded by people who are secretly giant monsters called Zoanoids? This movie probably won’t help you confirm, but it can’t hurt to try!

    In addition, Matt shares his spoiler-free thoughts on Leave the World Behind and Saltburn, while Alex does the same for Ferrari, Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom!
