What we’re Enjoying

Jay found the Wired Autocomplete interview with Ke Huy Quan on YouTube, and it is as amazing as it sounds. Even when he is acting completely out of character, for laughs. Shua found an unexpected gem in the new movie in theaters called Black Bag. It’s not your typical spy movie, starring Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett. It keeps you guessing as you figure out who the real villain actually is. 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay reviews the 2011 thriller The Adjustment Bureau, starring Matt Damon and Emily Blunt. It’s a sci-fi tale that makes us question whether we are actually in charge of our own fate. Or is Matt Damon really in charge of my life, because honestly, he can take over. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.

You don’t have to see the first 16 movies to Enjoy Mickey 17. Shua saw the new Bong Joon Ho and starring Robert Pattinson. A powerful tale of class and cloning that will really make you think. Jay tuned in for the third season of Reacher starring the very large Alan Ritchson. A good adaptation of the book series. Check it out on Prime Video.

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay fights for the Users with the long-awaited sequel from 2010, TRON: Legacy. It still holds up as a visually stunning movie, even with a little Uncanny Valley of Jeff Bridges. And there’s some super sweet light cycles. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.

Enjoy Four Leaf Clovers! 

In 1959 Darby O’Gill tried to convince the village that he knew the king of the Leprechauns in a classic Disney movie. In 1993 Warwick Davis brought the legendary figures into the horror genre with the popular Leprechaun. This week we compare the two movies in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. Which has the best plot? How about special effects? Use of magic? We look at it all and crown the greenest winner. Tune in for all the deets of the history of the lucky little ones and find out which big stars got lucky with their careers by appearing with the fortuitous sprites. 

Be sure to check out Jay's 31 Days of Horror article on Leprechaun!

As we "spring forward" for Daylight Saving Time, Enjoy Stuff explores movies where they time travel into the future! Set your way-forward machine for fun with Jay and Shua.

Time travel movies are a lot of people’s favorite. But most movies tell stories of our heroes going BACK in time. But we are hoping for a brighter FUTURE. Do these movies show something to look forward to or something more like today?

What we’re Enjoying

Jay’s rewatch of Stranger Things season 1 will begin the journey of preparing for the final season of the show. When you revisit the story that began so long ago, you discover things you didn’t notice the first time. Shua has been getting his science on by listening to The Great Courses series featuring Neil Degrasse Tyson’s “My Favorite Universe”. And now knowing how the universe works, we can fix everything. 

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay explores the dream world with the 2010 Christopher Nolan classic “Inception”. There’s so much to unpack in this film with every rewatch. And it’s not always obvious. Read his article on RetroZap.com. And make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.

Enjoy Traveling to the Future! 

Spring forward in time with a time machine instead of an annoying alarm clock. There are many possibilities to imagine when you think about the future. Will cars fly? Will we have a utopia or a dystopia? How far do we need to go before we forget all the stupid things we are doing now? The movies help to guide us so we can hopefully take the right path. Come along on the journey with Jay and Shua as we explore some of our favorite future predictions Hollywood has given us. 

Are we headed for a Star Trek or a Terminator? Would you go to the future or the past?

Shua has been kicking boards to immerse himself in the series finale of Cobra Kai on Netflix. The end gives every character some great closure in true soap opera form. Check out all six seasons now.

Sci-Fi Saturdays

This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay goes on the hunt with the continuation of the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger movie with Predators.

Enjoy Martys! 

Hollywood celebrates the powerful, emotional, and artistic films every year during the Academy Awards. But often the most popular movies get left out entirely. So this year Enjoy Stuff recognizes the other movies. The ones we cheered (or jeered) for, the lighthearted, the goofy. With the votes of our Earbuds, Jay and Shua hand out the Martys (Movies Are Really Timeless, Y’know) for the first annual Enjoy Stuff Alternative Awards. 

Which movies were you rooting for? Which ones didn’t make the cut?  First person that emails me with the subject line, “And the Marty goes to…” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com
