Guten tag, folks! The HM crew is back at it with a long look at everyone's favorite quadrology trilogy, Indiana Jones! We look at all three movies and touch on the nightmare fever dream we all communally experienced on May 22nd, 2008. Sadly, there is talks of rebooting the franchise after the grossly ill-advised (hi, David Koepp) Indiana Jones: Spooky Mansion Curse. We didn't discuss this horrifying idea but here's a hot take: fuck that. Alas, the war against reboots and remakes and endless Transformers movies is lost. Grab a drink friends and let's remember the good times.     INDIANA JONES 1-4  - FILM REVIEW - DISCUSSION -

The lads o' Happy Medium examine Captain America: Civil War, the 18,677th entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (or the MCU if ya nasty).

The HM crew puts the ALIEN films into the airlock (it's always the airlock, baby) and discuss what makes these films standout in a crop of monster-horror flicks. We also speculate on the new Alien saga films by directors Neill Blomkamp (a redemptive "yay!") & Ridley Scott (a regretful "boo!"). Join us, won't you?

  Let's be blunt: this movie is a misguided mess that doesn't enjoy Superman and thinks Batman is a rage-filled dunderhead rather than the World's Greatest Detective. We do our best to sort out out why Zack Snyder's film fails on so many basic levels and how this will affect the DC Comics cinematic universe. We also discover that our mothers share the same name and years of suspicion and misunderstanding between the Happy Medium gang quickly vanish.   SUPERMAN V BATMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE (2016) - DISCUSSION - FILM REVIEW - RATING
