So many Blu-rays. So little time. Except here on Movie Madness where Sergio Mims is back to take us on a journey from one of the best films of the year to one of the absolute worst. When you are done taking notes, Sergio & Erik Childress pay their respects to a true loss to the film world, Mr. George Romero.

Movie Madness goes for a second trip to the Best Summer Ever, this time chosen by Ain’t-It-Cool-News’ Steve Prokopy. Along with Erik Childress they talk about the 35th anniversary of one of the most iconic summer movie seasons ever and each share the ten favorites that have endured for them over the years.

Sergio Mims returns to run the gamut of Blu-ray releases from a timely thriller from the 1960s to a group of ‘80s titles for adults and cults alike. It all leads up to an appreciation of Walter Hill’s Streets of Fire. Before that though, Erik Childress takes you through the summer box office and how the success of Kumail Nanjiani’s The Big Sick could be a big thing.

Sofia Coppola has remade Don Siegel’s 1971 version of The Beguiled in her own image. Is it a fresh feminist take on a harsher male fantasy or has she taken the term neutered to a whole new level? Peter Sobczynski joins Erik Childress to discuss both points of view on this special episode of Movie Madness.

This episode brings us to the midpoint of the summer box office and the news isn’t good for a number of films (and studios.) After that though, Sergio Mims returns to bring everyone more stories and new Blu-rays. He also talks with Erik Childress about how early buzz can affect one’s view of a motion picture ranging from Donnie Darko to La La Land and how occasionally a fresh perspective can alter one’s opinion.

A new segment comes to the podcast where Erik Childress and guests countdown their favorites movies of the summer. The first guest is Collin Souter who has chosen 1988, the summer of the bad sequels but the great “R”-rated comedies. They also discuss one of the great movie controversies in history that is just as relevant and important today.

The summer box office only has a few big winners so far, but how does it shape up to 2016 at this point and Erik Childress discusses a new statistic that could signify this year’s champion. After that, Sergio Mims is back to discuss a lot of older titles new to Blu-ray and even sneak in a few recent titles.

Erik Childress is joined by Peter Sobczynski to talk about the return of one of the greatest television shows ever, Mystery Science Theater 3000. They talk about its history and how the new episodes measure up, discuss their favorites and take some time to mourn the loss of Zombie Nightmare co-star and beloved Batman, Mr. Adam West.

On this episode, Sergio Mims returns to catch everyone up on some of the Blu-rays that may have fallen through the cracks recently. Before that, Erik Childress catches you up on the Wonder Woman phenomenon at the box office, how Universal’s Dark Universe may or may not be in peril and condemns the coverage of A24’s wide release of It Comes At Night when it should be getting praised.

Wonder Woman Fever is sweeping the world and Erik Childress welcomes comic book expert Erik Laws back into the fray. They discuss not only the film but also a bit of the character’s history, the degrees to which sexism has reared its ugly head around the project and to agree that it is a definite step up in the DC Cinematic Universe
