podchatAll Summaries for Midnight Local
When you spend all day in a studio shooting a YouTube series about drinking, things can run off the rails in a hurry, and carefully managing that chaos is vital if you’re going to make a show like How to Drink, and that’s what Greg & Meredith have done for years. Here at Midnight Local we give into that chaos and let the rails be damned. These are the conversations that make you pause the movie because it just can't wait. Things like how the Hays Code destroyed cinema from 1934 - 1968, why David Lindelof should never be able to hold a pen again, and the fact that Joss Whedon doesn't live up to the morality of his own characters and also has tiny teeth. Midnight Local is a place to get weird about movies and shows and the rest and go beyond the who, what and where.

Dark City, the best film of 1998?
Dark City is a highly critically acclaimed film from 1998, Roger Ebert went as far as to call it the best film of that year. The movie is often compared to the Matrix and remembered fondly by both Greg and Meredith. We aren't so sure that it still holds up but we couldn't stop bringing it up when we discussed The Matrix a few weeks ago and thought it was worth revisiting so we could tell you all about it.

Aliens, this time it's war
We couldn't talk about Alien without talking about it's arguably superior sequel, Aliens. James Cameron redefines the franchise into an action/adventure packed blockbuster where we see our main characters really fight back against the alien threat. The mother/daughter love story Cameron builds between Ripley and Newt adds a layer of humanity to this movie that everyone can connect with.

Alien, is directing a job for jerks?

This is the second Ridley Scott film we have discussed - go back and check out our episode on Blade Runner - so we spend some time talking about other directors who have made their mark and if the position of the director has changed. Also we discuss how Dan O'Bannon creates the most terrifying creatures of all time!

The Matrix, does it hold up?
Is the Matrix as awesome as we thought it was in 1999. There is no question that bullet time made it’s mark on filmmaking but is that the best thing the Matrix left us with? This week we are talking about this and much more.

Paul Reubens, Pee Wee’s Big Adventure
We are talking about Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure this week, Tim Burton’s feature debut. We also dive into the miss information surrounding Paul Reubens and how his signature alter ego came to be. This comedian and the world he created will be very missed.

Blade Runner, they don’t make them like this anymore
Today we are talking about Ridley Scott’s Cyberpunk masterpiece. With all of the stops and starts, financing issues, and production challenges it is a miracle this movie got made. Turns out we watched different versions of the movie, if you are watching along with us the Director’s Cut is the superior choice.

Roid Rage TV, American Gladiators
We watched the Netflix doc Muscles and Mayhem: An Unauthorized Story of American Gladiators and it brought us back to the golden age of weird fever dream TV. We are talking about Sifl and Olly, Cutlery Corner, UHF and all the other content that was filling time slots in the early days of late night television and cable. Let us know if you agree that the world needs more weird shit on TV again?

The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan's Batman
After watching the 1989 Batman we thought there was a lot more to talk about, especially when it comes to different versions of the Joker. This week we decided to take a look at The Dark Knight and see how Christopher Nolan's Batman compares to Burton's and how Heath Ledger's Joker compares to Jack Nicholson's. Both are great but is one better than the other?

Another Disney Remake, The Little Mermaid
Disney has always reused old IP to make more money, so the “live action” remakes are nothing new, but do they hold up to the originals? In this episode we compare the animated and live action Little Mermaids.

Let’s get nuts, Batman 1989

Cool mess or hot mess, Everything Everywhere All at Once
The 2023 best picture winner sparked a lively debate between Meredith and Greg. Is the movie too long and Oscar bait-y, or is it a beautifully relatable emotional mess? One thing is for sure, it left us with lots to talk about!

Lovable curmudgeons, Columbo and Poker Face
Movies are wonderful but there is a lot of fantastic Television out there as well. This episode started out about Columbo and Poker Face (which is heavily inspired by Columbo) but turned into a love letter to Natasha Lyonne and Peter Faulk.
