On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire burning up movie theaters worldwide, we decided to take a look at monster mashups, why we love them, and then go about plotting our own take on films or TV monsters or villains that could make for an exciting versus or team-up movie all on their own. Thanos versus The Emperor? Shelob vs. Blue? How about E.T versus Cooper from Super 8?

That's not all though! We also have a debate on when a franchise like Ghostbusters or Terminator should finally end, The Matrix turns 25, our review of Godzilla x Kong, and a whole lot more!

Missing Movie Songs, Long Film Credits, Streaming Trends, and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, before we review Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, we first have to do a bit of catching up. The past two weeks have been heavy on films, with our Oscars recap and deep dive into the SXSW Film & TV Festival, so it's time to get back to fluff. Therefore we discuss random topics such as where have all the movie songs gone, why are film credits so long, concerning streaming trends, which character would you be in The Breakfast Club, who would win between Cobra Kai and Sho Nuff, and a whole lot more.

Then it is time to turn to our spoiler-free reviews. First of Liam Neeson's best film in years, In the Land of Saints and Sinners. Then it is time to fire up our proton packs and hit the streets of New York to debate the latest Ghostbusters film, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. If you need a fun podcast on movies or TV, who ya gonna call?

Impactful TV Character Deaths, Sting, The Long Game, Damaged

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, it's time for reflection. Specifically, we want to look back at the impact of TV character deaths and why they hit us so hard. We spend so much time with these characters, so when writers take them away from us, it can truly throw a curveball into our lives. But which ones made the harshest impact?

That's not all though! AMC Theaters takes it out on their Dune bucket, Tulsa King has a bit of drama all its own, reviews of upcoming movies The Long Game, Damaged, and Sting, and a whole lot more!
