    Tommy Metz leads an all-star cast of Krissy Lenz and Rob(by) Kubasko(z) in this SatMat Season Finale with trailers, games, and a list of movies you're too young to watch.

    But first, Krissy misunderstood the assignment and saw the wrong Elvis movie. Don't worry, though, the mix-up leads to hijinx and inspiration for not one, but two new spin-off podcasts involving pineapples and exhaustive rewatches of other wrong Elvis movies.

    Rob is healing, and used the time to catch up on a lot. Rob's Homework: Red Eye, No Time to Die, Stranger Things, Strange New Worlds, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

    Along the way, Netflix is in trouble. They just fired another 300 people. Still, the stream screen is performing just fine, as more people are watching Stranger Things and Obi-Wan than Top Gun Maverick or Jurassic World. Netflix has responded by piloting their password-sharing crackdown. "Excellent" timing.

    Meanwhile, tv+ dropped some serious cash on their Ted Lasso-esque plan to own all MLS with a ten-year ownership deal of MLS distribution with no black-outs. Says Eddy Cue (that's Apple's SVP of Services), “For the first time in the history of sports, fans will be able to access everything from a major professional sports league in one place.” In the history of sports, Mr. Cue? Wethinks you are a touch too proud. But still, cool for football hooligans.

    Jun 21 2022

    Ocean Murff and Krissy Lenz have been to infinity and beyond in Pixar’s latest in the Toy Story Cinematic Multiverse, “Lightyear.”

    Chris Evans dons the dome as our titular space ranger. How well does his take on non-toy-Tim-Taylor fit as a parallel-prequel to the beloved Toy Story films? The film has hit the box office with mixed reception in spite of it’s pedigree and voice cast, including Keke Palmer, Peter Sohn, James Brolin, Bill Hader, and Taika Waititi.

    Pete, Kyle, and Tommy are in the Saturday Matinée this week for vamps on planes, VHS nostalgia, and a watchlist of movies about fans and fanatics!

    Pete and Kyle did their homework and have a report on their watch of Blood Red Sky. Even more, Kyle watched Always and reports it might have been better had there been vampires on those planes. Tommy's been Benjamin Buttoning his rewatch of Mission: Impossible and just wrapped up his watch of "Under the Banner of Heaven."

    We have no game this week, and in its stead, Kyle brings a walk down memory lane with a grueling inquiry into our film history.

    • Kyle’s Trailer: The Sandman
    • Tommy’s Trailer: Blackbird
    • Pete’s Trailer: Don't Make Me Go
    THE LIST!

    The list this week takes us into the world of fandom with films about fans and fanatics.

  • The Film Board Top Gun: Maverick
    Jun 7 2022

    Ocean Murff, Pete Wright, and Krissy Lenz strap in and fly the canyon run to attack the station — station which is now fully-operational — in Top Gun: Maverick. So let’s get ready to bull’s eye some womp rats with the new crew of bests of the best!

    The gang is all here! Mav, his romantic flirty foil, several cantankerous military authority figures to disrespect, a constant friend on the tarmac, a dozen better-than-you pilots, and the notorious black-clad fifth gen enemy! What do we love? And do we love it all enough to sit through it while we’re just waiting to get back into the air? We’ll just have to see if this relic of an aviator find it’s time to hang up his Aviators.

    Ocean Murff heads a trio of Krissy Lenz and Pete Wright in what is ultimately an episode heavy with Top Gun: Maverick enthusiasm. They dig into Tom Cruise's stunt mania, dragging the cast into the cockpits to film the thing, while Krissy cements her position as a Top Gun Flat Earther.

    Elsewhere, Margo Robbie is taking the lead on a European Ocean's Eleven movie set in the 60's. Kids in the Hall are back on Amazon Prime, Ocean wants more Wonder Twins because he can't have them, and Pete sings the praises of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds sitting atop Slow Horses.

    • Ocean’s Trailer: Crimes of the Future
    • Krissy’s Trailer: Spiderhead
    • Pete’s Trailer: She-Hulk: Attorney at Law
    THE LIST!

    The crew was presented with an either/or this week in an effort to determine favorite films in which a sequel or remake improved the franchise over the original, or made it worse. At least this round is full of steals.

    Ocean's List
    1. Miami Vice
    2. The Longest Yard
    3. Point Break
    Krissy's List
    1. Bram Stoker's Dracula

    Ray DeLancey, Kyle Olson, and Rob Kubasko are on the big show this week and they bring the fantasy.

    First, apparently Sonic 2 is fun. If you have a family to serve as an excuse that keeps you from having to watch it by yourself, you should see it. We're still watching Moon Knight, Picard, and Strange New Worlds, and this weekend we're doing a little Tatum with the Paramount+ drop of The Lost City.

    And, did you hear? Walken is joining Dune.

    We've got a little Star Wars stuff coming with the impending release of Kenobi, and you heard it here first: The new Lego Star Wars game slaps.

    • Ray's Trailer: Unhuman
    • Kyle's Trailer: Resident Evil
    • Rob's Trailer: Avatar: The Way of Water
    THE LIST!

    Last week, Ocean, Krissy, and Tommy fought off sadness by paying forward a list of movies in which you end up rooting for the bad guy, or unhappy ending. And you know what? It turns out we're real downers who love movies like this.

    Ray's List
    1. X-Men: Days of Future Past
    2. King Kong (1933)
    3. The Last Temptation of Christ
    Kyle's List
    1. Black Panther
    2. The Rock
    3. Ghostbusters
    Rob's List
    1. Cast Away
    2. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
    3. Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
