Superbad or American Pie? The Town or The Departed? The Illusionist or the Prestige? All those heated debates you have with your friends, we settle the score once and for all. Join Devon Vestal and Nick Nye weekly as they crown the winner of some of the most heated comparisons in cinema.
It’s a paranormal power struggle, a superhuman showdown between two franchises that Hollywood was absolutely sure were going to happen!
This week on Flick Fights, we’re heading back to the late 2000s as Jumper (2008) takes on Push (2009)!
Hayden Christensen is David Rice, a young man who discovers he can teleport anywhere in the world—only to learn that people like him have been hunted for centuries. Chris Evans is Nick Gant, a telekinetic hiding from a shadowy organization determined to control and weaponize people with psychic abilities.
Both movies gave us secret superpowered societies, sinister organizations, stacked casts, and worlds practically begging for sequels that... never showed up.
We break it all down across 10 rounds, including Pick Your Power, Power in Motion, The Hunters, Superpowered Romance, Beyond the Powers, and the painfully appropriate Wasted Potential.
It’s Jumpers vs. Movers. Paladins vs. Division. Hayden Christensen vs. Chris Evans. Teleportation vs. an entire buffet of psychic bullshit.
Which forgotten superpowered movie deserved to become the franchise it was clearly trying to start?

Back to the Future Vs. Bill and Ted! Which Time Travel Movie is Better?
It’s a time-travel tussle, a temporal throwdown of excellent adventures and heavy consequences!
This week on Flick Fights, we’re firing up the flux capacitor and dialing the Circuits of Time as Back to the Future (1985) takes on Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989)!
Marty McFly accidentally rockets back to 1955, nearly erases himself from existence, and has to convince a mad scientist to send him home. Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted “Theodore” Logan have an equally important mission: travel through history, kidnap some of humanity’s greatest figures, and somehow pass their history report.
We break it all down across 10 rounds, including The Time Machine, Partners in Time, Comedy Across the Centuries, Don’t F***With the Timeline, The Perfect Payoff, and Most Triumphant.
It’s Marty and Doc vs. Bill and Ted. DeLorean vs. phone booth. 1.21 gigawatts vs. two dudes who are destined to save humanity with rock and roll.
When the clock runs out, which time-travel classic deserves to survive the timeline?

The Running Man Vs. Demolition Man! Which one is better?
It’s a dystopian deathmatch, a futuristic face-off of bullets, biceps, and bizarre predictions!
This week on Flick Fights, two action legends collide as The Running Man (1987) takes on Demolition Man (1993)!
Arnold Schwarzenegger is Ben Richards, a wrongly convicted badass forced into a deadly televised game show where murder is entertainment. Sylvester Stallone is John Spartan, a frozen relic of the violent past unleashed into a suspiciously peaceful future to hunt down Wesley Snipes’ gloriously unhinged Simon Phoenix.
Both movies imagined ridiculous futures filled with authoritarian control, corporate influence, bizarre technology, and societies that sacrificed freedom in the name of order. The uncomfortable part? They got way more right than they had any business getting right.
We break it all down across 10 rounds, including:
💥 One-Liner Warfare
💥 The Villain
💥 Satire With a Body Count
💥 The World We Accidentally Got
💥 Most Iconic
💥 Final Verdict: Gut Check
It’s Arnold vs. Stallone. Killian vs. Phoenix. Murder television vs. the three seashells.
Which action-packed dystopia survives the future and wins the fight?
