Let's open this episode with what really should happen to the theatrical experience and along the way hang out to chat everything Muppets with Peter A DeLuca AKAPAD.

MUPPETS HAUNTED MANSION -Did Disney+ save the Muppets?

Made for 1M Healraiser proves the creative power of Clive Barker is unmatched. Here is the first of an insanely consistent franchise of 9 installments.

HELLRAISER - DAY 20 of the 31 DAYS OF DREAD

What has not been said by now on A Nightmare on Elm Street by this time? Quite a few things actually, let's jump in.

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET - DAT 23 of the 31 DAYS OF DREAD

Dream Warriors is a Nightmare on Elm Street at its very best. The franchise will never reach such a height ever again.

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 3 DREAM WARRIORS -  DAY 25 of the 31 DAYS OF DREAD

The 5th of the Nightmare series offers the best hook of them all. But where do you go from here?

A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET 5 DREAM CHILD -DAY 27 of the 31 DAYS OF DREAD

This year is riddled with horror remakes and updates and for only 12 million smackers Blumhouse delivers a Stephen King update primed for expansion.

31 Days of Dread - Firestarter

Alex Garland is completely full of himself and wastes a completely talented production. Every part of this film is expert-level and from the intent the strong performances from Jessie Buckley and
Rory Kinnear is lost.

31 Days of Dread - MEN (blame women)

While on a flight and after following the Ocean Gate Titanic Submerine sage Peter A DeLuca AKAPAD decided to watch one of the greatest movies of all time. TITANIC

#567 - Titanic - What does the Heart of the Ocean represent?

Blackberry is one movie of a new Hollywood trend, the business bio-pic. As trends unfold we get a spectrum of styles, takes, and visions, we have intense performances in the depiction of a company that should have never gone away. Blackberry asks basic questions and speaks to the big picture. This is an ironic fiery piece that teaches as much as it rocks.

#619 - Blackberry

1492 Conquest of Paradise solidifies an uncomfortable truth about Christopher Columbus. He is a monolith of heartbreak and tragedy. Ridley Scott directs an epic that missed the mark back in 1992 but today is far more impactful than ever.

#620 - 1492 Conquest of Paradise

2006's Invincible introduced AKAPAD The Film Buff to the idea if a film needs to be great to be a well-directed movie. This thought is something not in any film conversation at all. Because of Invincible  we now have to ask if only the great films are attached to the great directors.

#621 - Invincible for THANKSFLICKING

The final film for 2023 that I'm thankful for is 2010's The Other Guys an absolute monster of a masterpiece.

#624 - Godzilla Minus One

White Squall is yet another film that showcases Ridley Scott's mastering of the elements and film production as a whole. When it comes to the difficulty of shooting at sea or replicating it White Squall is ahead of its time and never discussed when it comes to this point.

#625 - White Squall

The greatest action movie franchise of all time is Mission Impossible and Dead Reckoning set's up the biggest one yet.

#626 - Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part One

The Creator needed a bigger push at the box office and has not lit the internet on fire once it became available on HULU, why have audiences not adopted an original movie such as this?

#627 - The Creator

Do we live in an era where filmgoers have forgotten the slow-burn appeal almost every sci-fi movie has had?

#628 - Rebel Moon

In 1991 the golden age of Football comedies ended this is a packed spectacle featuring some of the top young comedians of the day.

#629- Necessary Roughness

To AKAPAD The Film Buff The Martian solidifies Ridley Scott as the greatest filmmaker of all time. His career is long vast and winding. The Martian should not be as likable as it is, and that comes from the absolute skill of Matt Damon who deserved more attention for this role.

#630 - The Martian

Once long ago Peter A DeLuca believed Oliver Stones' Any Given Sunday was the greatest football film of all time, North Dallas Forty has changed that opinion.

#631 - North Dallas Forty - is the new GOAT Football movie

Part of the Matthew McConaughey come back double feature (MUD being the other) Killer Joe showcases a dark hurt filled world with a small moment of hope. There are few movies like this.

#632 - Killer Joe has the greatest monologue of all time

We Are Marshall McG's 2006 overlooked Football powerhouse movie deserves attention not from a perfectly executed technical film but from what might be the most tragic plane crash scene ever put to film. We have an all-star cast in front of and behind the camera - this movie deserves your attention as it reveals that the sports genre unlocks what professionals can do in the film business.

#633 - We Are Marshall

Carter Smith has emerged as one of the premier young directors of our age. The Passenger is best described as a self-help movie dealing with the inflictions of the past portrayed through a violent depressing lens. The movie should be praised and heralded and because it's not mentioned in award season proves how broken this system is. AKAPAD the Film Buff champions this movie as pure cinema and nothing else.

#634- The Passenger - must be watched

Charlton Heston stars as a New Orleans quarterback gradually approaching a mid-life crisis as his career nears its end. "Number One" didn't initially make AKAPAD's list of American Football films for discussion and review. However, this unexpected gem took him by surprise, delivering a compelling narrative possibly sponsored by the NFL itself.

Neo Noir is the filmmakers' playground and at times it's perfectly fine if it's weird, but if it's weird let it move and have all the right elements this however was missed by many critics. Under the Silver Lake is a fantastic fun movie by David Robert Mitchell that raises real questions about the world of LA and show business.

#636 - Under The Silver Lake

1977's SEMI-TOUGH stars Burt Reynolds and  Kris Kristofferson in a football comedy and shows off THE MAN of the sport, but it wants to be a bit more critical of marriage and see;f-help.This style of comedy would never be made today and because of that, we have to pay attention to this film.

#637 Semi-Tough

Don't Worry Darling got the worst type of press before its release and what was lost was the general audience constructively looking at the film. In a different time the Olivia Wilde directed movie would have grown like wildfire throughout social media. Instead, we are left with AKAPAD THE FILM BUFF to rectify the situation and correct the course.

#638 - Don't Worry Darling

Terminator Salvation was built on confusion and controversy and because of that it's overlooked as the biggest risk the franchise ever took. No Arnold, no Cameron this is a movie intended to show you the early days of The Future Wars.

#256 TERMINATOR SALVATION
