Welcome back to another edition of Trailer Time.This is the place where we post interesting trailers for movies, television shows, games and more. For this installment of Trailer Time we’ve got Zack Snyder’s upcoming zombie heist opus Army of the Dead.
The film, which hits Netflix on May 21st, finds Snyder returning to the world of zombies for a heist film set in Vegas against the backdrop of a zombie apocalypse. The heroes must complete their heist while also fighting and surviving against, well, an army of the dead. Okay, we’re interested.
And say what you will about Snyder’s other work (trust us, we have), but at least his films aren’t boring and are often very entertaining. Also, they usually feature good action, striking visuals and even a decent performance or two (we kid, we kid). This one looks to be no exception.
Army of the Dead features an ensemble cast including Dave Bautista, Ella Purnell, Ana de la Reguera, Garret Dillahunt, Theo Rossi, Tig Notario and Hiroyuki Sanada. It’s directed by Snyder from a script he wrote with Shay Hatten and Joby Harold, based on a story by Snyder.
Check out the trailer below. Look for Army of the Dead on Netflix May 21st.

Time to kick off another new feature here at The Flickcast. This one is called What We’re Watching. You can probably guess what it’s gonna be about: movies, TV shows and other things we’re watching.
Not that hard to figure out, right? Good. Moving on.
For the first installment we go international with South Korean sci-fi/action film Space Sweepers. Part Star Wars, part Guardians of the Galaxy, this space epic features a rag-tag group of reluctant heroes who struggle against an oppressive corporation with less than benevolent motives.
They also fight to keep an adorable little girl safe because she just might be the key to the future survival of the human race. No pressure, though.
The movie boasts some impressive visual effects, captivating performances, heartfelt emotions and an international cast of actors including Song Joong-ki, Kim Tae-ri, Jin Seon-kyu, Yoo Hae-jin and Richard Armitage, of Hobbit fame, as the Elon Musk-ish tech billionaire who’s going to save humanity. Maybe. It’s written by Yoon Seung-min, Yoo-kang Seo-ae and Jo Sung-hee, who is also the director.
It’s really quite a fun ride and takes time to develop the characters so that you care about what happens to them. And yes, lots of stuff blows up too. We really enjoyed it. You might too. Give it a watch.
Until then, check out the trailer below. Space Sweepers is on Netflix right now.
It’s a brand new episode of The Flickcast. Still going strong. We’re doing this!
On this episode Chris and Joe get deep into all-things Dune as they discuss the new trailer for the highly anticipated film, casting highlights from the film, Ridley Scott’s Raised By Wolves, the basics of sci-fi films and tv shows, Amazon’s The Boys, the negative effects of not being able to binge watch, cancel culture and, most importantly, the return of Rick Moranis.
They also manage to talk about a certain world event (but just a little), further developments in film and television production and how great it is to see so much Sci-Fi programming these days. Plus, of course, the usual more.
WARNING: This episode contains discussions about COVID-19, mental health and quarantine. We understand not everyone is in a place to talk about or hear discussions surrounding these issues. Please do what’s best for you. Stay safe everyone.

That’s right another week has passed and we’ve got another brand new episode of The Flickcast for you. And before you ask, this makes an unbroken streak of seven episodes in a row for the new year. High five! Or, really, high seven!
On this week’s show, Chris and Joe talk about a whole bunch of stuff including the 40th anniversary of Saturday Night Live, the Oscars, Lawrence Kasdan, Chris Pratt as Indiana Jones, Comic-Con badges, line hassles, Hall H nightmares and a whole lot more. Yep. Lots more.
Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the new novel Half the World by Joe Abercrombie and Joe’s pick of the new Odd Couple series starring Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon.

We’re back again with an all-new episode of The Flickcast. Be happy because it probably won’t last. But for now …
On this week’s show, Chris and Joe discuss and debate more Guardians of the Galaxy, James Gunn’s personality, upcoming TV series like Shutter Island and The Omen, Denzel Washington’s career and his upcoming Equalizer movie and the brand new season of Doctor Who.
Guess which of your favorite hosts liked the season premiere and which didn’t? Not that hard to figure out. Of course, that’s not all they talk about. There’s also the usual “more.”
Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the just released D&D Player’s Handbook from Wizards of the Coast and Joe’s pick of the movie Locke, featuring Tom Hardy and a car.

Last month right before Comic-Con, Loot Crate released one of their best crates with a phenomenal Villains crate that included a totally original and exclusive Joki shirt alongside, amongst other things, a pair of Deadpool socks. It was going to be pretty hard to follow that up. But who better to show up the Villains than… the Heroes.
This month WallE and JC put their physical prowess to the test in an effort to capture a bunch of items based off of some of their favorite childhood heroes along with an exclusive Pop made just for Loot Crate. As some of you have seen in past crates, WallE and JC have an addiction for the little guys and battling over an exclusive one could possibly end their friendship and Whiskey & Waffles as we know it.
That’s right folks, it’s a brand new episode of The Flickcast. And only one day late! Woot! Sorry, we tried.
Anyway, on this week’s show, Chris and Joe discuss and debate all-things Guardians of the Galaxy. Yes, they even settle the bet. Who won? Well, you’ll just have to listen to find out, won’t you?
They also find some time to talk about Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar and a few other things too. That’s right, there’s also the usual “more.”
The pick this week is another dual one. Yes, the hosts are getting lazy, thanks for asking. Said pick is the new “Awesome Mix Vol. 1” from Guardians of the Galaxy. Check it out, it’s a good one.

Guardians of the Galaxy is the summer blockbuster I’ve been waiting for for longer than I can remember.
The usual adjectives of effusive praise are appropriate: funny, clever, touching, and, of course, fun. While Marvel Studios has certainly found the formula for successful films, they’ve been progressively more and more serious and, worse, self-important. Guardians has the good sense to mock itself and its concept, which is likely due in large part to its star, Parks & Recreation‘s Chris Pratt, and writer/director James Gunn (Slither), and perhaps almost as large a part being that it’s relatively free of the Marvel Universe around which every other film it’s made snugly revolves. I doubt we’d see even Tony Stark using a space-rat as a make-believe microphone, especially in the first two minutes.
So Gunn and Pratt bring a delightfully refreshing sense of self deprecation to their film, Pratt playing the somewhat well-known Peter Quill, a.k.a. Star-Lord, intergalactic swashbuckler. The promotional writeups describe him as a mix of Han Solo and Marty McFly, but I think Indiana Jones may be more appropriate, since they’re both adept at getting into and out of particularly sticky situations.
This time Star-Lord has snatched an orb of potentially unimaginable power, which puts him in the sights of nearly everyone across the galaxy, from assassin Gamora (Zoe Saldana) to planetary ravager Ronan (Lee Pace) to Yondu (Michael Rooker), Star-Lord’s kind-of adopted father, to genetically modified raccoon Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and his Ent-ian-ish pal Groot (Vin Diesel). After a three-way battle on the universal capital planet, the four are imprisoned and…blah, blah, blah. They team up, everyone tries to kill them, and so on.
In 1977, at the age of 8, I sat in a theater and experienced the awe and wonder that was Star Wars. At the time, no one had any idea what kind of cultural significance it would have or what it would mean for cinema in general and science-fiction films in particular. Though there have been many books, essays and college theses that have attempted to quantify and examine those impacts over the years, at age 8 I didn’t really care about such things.
If I’m being completely honest I should admit that I still don’t, I just remember sitting in the darkened theater being completely pulled into a new and completely realized new universe of awe and wonder and being completely captivated and immeasurably entertained by it. Thanks to James Gunn and Guardians of the Galaxy, that feeling has returned 37 years later.
After a week off for the 4th of July holiday, we’re back with a brand new episode of The Flickcast. And you thought we’d forgotten about you. Not likely.
On this week’s show Chris and Joe talk about a lot of different things, as usual. Some of these “things” include the recent Emmy nominations and the worst snubs, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, the latest on Doctor Who, more on Guardians of the Galaxy and a bunch of other stuff.
Chris and Joe even make a bet on the opening weekend box office for Guardians. What did they think? Well, you’ll just have to listen to find out. Saw that coming, didn’t you?
Picks this week include Chris’ pick of director John Hillcoat’s Lawless and Joe’s pick of the wonderful, and sadly soon to be extinct, 35mm film.
