Episode 75: Masters of the Universe and Bottom Five Tough Guys
<p>The fireworks may be over and the grill has gone cold, but Filmjitsu is still celebrating! This week, Jay and Mike recount their trip to the theater for the long-awaited return of <strong>Masters of the Universe</strong>. After a first trailer that inspired more dread than excitement, could a reported $200 million blockbuster based on an '80s toy line really succeed where the 1987 Dolph Lundgren adaptation stumbled and sent the franchise into cinematic hibernation for nearly four decades? The guys are joined by a special guest as THEY HAVE THE POWER during their full review. Then it's time for <strong>Bottom Five Tough Guys</strong>, celebrating cinema's most overrated hard cases: characters who puff out their chests, talk a big game, and somehow still leave you wondering if anyone was ever actually intimidated. From beloved classics to a few less-than-beloved oddities, the countdown might permanently alter how you see some familiar faces. After that, Jay and Mike step into the arena for another round of <strong>Dueling Double Bills</strong>, pairing films in unexpected ways before Mike reveals the next movie assignment destined to test Jay's cinematic <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://endurance.So">endurance.So</a> grab some leftovers, shake off that freedom-loving holiday hangover, and spend the last hour of your long weekend with Filmjitsu, the podcast that wields films like deadly weapons.</p>

Episode 74: The Tree of Life and Bottom Five Creations
<p>Since this episode lands on Father's Day, Jay decides to do something thematic for a change and assigns Mike one of the most acclaimed and divisive films of the 21st century: Terrence Malick's <strong>The Tree of Life</strong>. Is the film a profound meditation on fathers and sons, memory, grief, faith, and the very nature of existence? Or is it an overlong exercise in whispered narration, floating cameras, and cosmic self-importance? The guys tackle that question head-on and, perhaps unsurprisingly given the film's subject matter, find themselves wandering into some unexpectedly personal territory along the way. After the review, the guys count down their <strong>Bottom Five Creations</strong>, a collection of inventions, monsters, products, and catastrophically misguided acts of ingenuity that probably should have remained on the drawing board. Then it's time once again for <strong>Dueling Double Bills</strong>, where Mike and Jay attempt to pair randomly selected films into seat-filling double features and, as usual, discover that agreement is far less likely than argument. Finally, in a move that may qualify as self-harm under certain legal definitions, Mike and Jay announce an upcoming trip to the movie theater, where they'll willingly exchange approximately two mortgage payments for tickets, popcorn, and whatever fresh cinematic Hell awaits them on the big screen.</p>

Episode 73: Hot Frosty and Bottom Five Hotties
<p>On this episode of Filmjitsu, Mike decides he'd like to "extend winter" a little longer by assigning Jay the Netflix holiday rom-com Hot Frosty. A calculated attempt to exploit Jay's well-documented affection for romantic comedies, this weird take on Frosty the Snowman stars Hallmark Channel royalty Lacey Chabert and a magically animated snowman blessed with abs that could cut glass. Is it a surprisingly heartfelt holiday romance, or just another disposable entry in the ever-expanding streaming content machine? The guys dig in during the main review and then afterward, Mike and Jay count down their <strong>Bottom Five Hotties</strong>, a collection of movie characters whose scorching appeal can't compensate for their terrible behavior or general awfulness. Then it's time once again for <strong>Dueling Double Bills</strong>, where the guys attempt to build the perfect companion features for wildly different movies and, as usual, wander into unexpected territory along the way. Finally, the eternal cycle of cinematic revenge continues when the next assignment is revealed. So crank up your air conditioning, grab a mug of hot cocoa and join the podcast that wields films like deadly weapons as they contend with more icy-hotness than Mike's used on his forever-ailing back.</p>
