Another Pass Podcast

This time on Another Pass, Case and Sam are joined by Cly from Point in Progress to revisit Black Widow. They talk Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, the Red Room, dysfunctional found family, the ghost of the Winter Soldier, the problem with Taskmaster, and how the movie could have done more to reframe Natasha’s sacrifice in Endgame.

Case and Sam are joined by Jay McKiernan (Long Live the Legion) to discuss one of the strangest studio movies ever made: Hudson Hawk. Bruce Willis's passion project is a wild mix of heist film, slapstick comedy, musical numbers, Vatican conspiracies, and cartoon logic that somehow also feels a little bit like Street Fighter. Is it a misunderstood cult classic, a glorious mess, or both? Join us as we try to make sense of one of the most fascinatingly flawed movies of the 1990s.

This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by Katie DeMatteis and Ben MartinMooney to talk KPop Demon Hunters! As part of our “5th Episode” series, we celebrate a movie we genuinely enjoy while digging into the production challenges, creative swings, and behind-the-scenes hurdles that shaped this stylish supernatural spectacle.

This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by their very own editor Sophia Ricciardi to take on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)! We dig into the film’s bold redesigns, chaotic energy, and whether this modern take on the Heroes in a Half Shell captures what makes the Turtles work—or misses the mark entirely.

This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by Nic Woolfe to roll out and revisit Transformers: The Movie (1986)! We dig into the film’s bold tonal shift, unforgettable soundtrack, and the shocking moments that left an entire generation of kids staring at the screen in disbelief. Does this animated cult classic still have the touch… or does it dare to be stupid?

This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by Zorikh Lequidre to revisit Shazam! Fury of the Gods. We break down the sequel’s mythic swing, its tonal tightrope between family comedy and divine spectacle, and whether this lightning strike deserved a brighter fate at the box office.

This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by Red and Blue from Overly Sarcastic Productions to take another look at Iron Man 2. We dig into the film’s place in the early MCU, its tangled ambitions, its missed opportunities, and why this sequel is more fascinating—and more frustrating—than its reputation suggests.

This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by Erin Callahan to dig into Paul Thomas Anderson’s sprawling emotional epic, Magnolia. We talk about intersecting lives, the weight of coincidence, and whether a few small edits could make this frog-filled fever dream even more powerful.

This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by Randy Allain and Kris Ingersoll to tackle the flatscan of a film that was X-Men: Dark Phoenix! Together, they explore where this cosmic finale lost its spark, what could’ve made it soar, and why the Dark Phoenix saga might be one of Hollywood’s hardest stories to get right.

This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by action aficionado Adam Garman to take on Double Impact!

Two Van Dammes. Twice the splits. Half the plot? We revisit the 1991 JCVD cult classic to see where this martial arts double feature delivers, and where a second pass might've packed a stronger punch.

This week on Another Pass, Case is joined by guest Sean Muir to dissect the late ’90s sci-fi horror flick Virus—a movie where bad wiring meets worse decisions. Together, they explore the film’s potential, its squandered setup, and how it almost became the Event Horizon of killer robot movies.
