Does It Hold Up?

We discuss older movies from all eras and determine if they still hold up or not. We look at the directing, cinematography, acting, writing, and everything else before making our final decision. Some movies we are watching for the very first time and others we have seen more time than we can count. Join us on our journey to see what does and what doesn’t hold up.

Does Iron Man hold up?

Friday Nov 04, 2022

Friday Nov 04, 2022

May 6th 2008, Tony Stark dons a suit made of a metal alloy, but for some reason is dubbed Iron Man. After profiting from war for many years Tony has a near death experience that changes everything. He decides to become a living weapon and put an end to weapons manufacturing and selling of firearms. His entire life get flipped upside down and now he is seen as one of the greatest heroes the world has to offer. Marvel Studios took a huge gamble with this movie and as we all know it paid off in spades. 20+ more movies and arguably the biggest movie franchise ever all started right here with an unproven director and a problematic leading man. The movie went on to be a smash hit, but we ask the question...Does it Hold Up?

October 13, 1993 Jack Skellington sings his way into our hearts. He has his eyes on capturing Christmas all to himself and take it over so that his mundane life as King of Halloweentown can change. Sally tries to convince him it's a bad idea, but he won't listen. Audiences get your water ready and warm up your vocal chords because you're going to want to sing along with every beat of music for the whole hour plus of the movie. Stop-motion may have been used in the past, but it had never been used the way it was here. This makes a lot of people's list of yearly watched movies, but we ask the question...Does it Hold Up?

Adam and Emily are back again with another follow up episode. The last episode we talked about some of the scariest movie characters of all time and the only right way to follow that up is with some horror movies you may have never seen (or just haven't seen in a long time). These are all recommendations and you should watch them for the first time or watch them again. They are definitely worth it this Halloween season. Enjoy.

October 25 1978, The Shape escapes from the asylum and is stalking Laurie Strode and friends. The small town of Haddonfield Illinois will never be the same after this Halloween night. Dr. Loomis is hunting down Michael before he can do anything bad, but as usual the doctor doesn't know best. Some excellent kills are coming our way as Michael tears through the sex crazed high schoolers. The slow burn pacing will have you edgy and the music will forever haunt your thoughts. Will Laurie ever be the same, will Michael be caught and locked away, or better yet, Halloween... Does it Hold Up?
