I will spare everyone by not starting this list with reasons why 2016 sucked. However, one thing that has to be called into question are these “Film is Dead,” “TV is Winning the Culture War,” and “Why 2016 is the Worst Year in Film” clickbait headlines. If film is truly dead, and 2016 is truly the worst year in cinema, I ask you this: why was it so damn difficult to whittle this list down to just ten picks?

Over/Under Movies finishes its third and final Halloween-themed episode with a double feature of zombie comedy mayhem. On this episode, my co-host Oktay Ege Kozak chose “Shaun of the Dead” as the overrated movie, and “The Return Of The Living Dead” as the underrated. As usual, I’m joined by co-host Ryan Oliver as we try to navigate the murky waters of what actually makes a good zombie comedy.

On our latest episode, Over/Under Movies takes a look at two different examples of movies about movies. My co-host Ryan Oliver made the picks this time out, and he decided to pit an Oscar winner for Best Picture in “The Artist” in the overrated category against Joe Dante‘s undervalued 1993 charmer “Matinee.” Tune in to hear how we […]

Over/Under Movies is back. On this 46th episode of the podcast, in which an overrated and underrated film within the same genre, style or tone are pitted against each other, the choice fell on yours truly, and I decided to go for an "Evil Dead" showdown. Read More: SXSW Review: 'Evil Dead' Is A Grim, Humorless Ultraviolent Update Of A Horror Classic Believe it or not, I think Fede Alvarez's remake from 2013 is a little better than Sam Raimi's original. Both films tell the well-worn story about a group of young folks going to a cabin in the woods and who unwittingly and foolishly unleash a demonic spirit that takes them apart one by one, sometimes in hilarious fashion. I'm joined by my co-hosts Ryan Oliver and Oktay Ege Kozak, who don't necessarily agree with my brazen dismissal of such a beloved '80s horror film.

Over/Under Movies is back. On this 45th episode of the podcast, in which an overrated and underrated film within the same genre, style or tone are considered, show host Oktay Ege Kozak finds common ground in two films that could be included in a double feature called "The Kid Dies In The Picture and The Parents Lose Their Minds." It's Lars von Trier's infamous "Antichrist" as the overrated against Nicolas Roeg's classic "Don't Look Now" as the under. Co-hosts Ryan Oliver and Erik McClanahan join in as usual for a lively chat, but don't expect them to agree.
