The RedRum Podcast

Send us your movie recommendations!

As your favorite media critics, Captain and Wilson, raise a glass to the peculiar and the profound in today's wild ride through TV land. Sip on a Grasshopper with us as we dissect the offbeat charm of "Palm Royale" and chart the course of binge-watching triumphs like "Loot." We don't shy away from the tough questions either: Can the Fallout TV series truly capture the essence of its video game roots? And what does it take to adapt a fan-favorite like Halo without losing its soul? Gather 'round as we unpack these adaptations, lament the pitfalls, and celebrate the success stories.
Then it's lights, camera, action on our deep-dive into the enigmatic "Black Box" from the Welcome to Blumhouse series. You'll be on the edge of your seat as we unpack Mamadou Athie's mesmerizing performance and Emmanuel Osei-Kuffour Jr.'s directorial prowess. But that's not all—join us as we confront the reality of movies skirting by on the Bechdel test, and follow Nolan's heartrending journey through amnesia and identity in a cinematic quest that will leave you pondering long after the credits roll.
Lastly, brace yourself for a spectrum of emotions—from the brutality of "The Boys" spinoff to the animated, yet no less intense, "Invincible." We share our candid takes on these series, alongside musings on medical narratives and the underrated value of a good family handshake. Whether you're a Grasshopper enthusiast, a mango-flavored beer aficionado, or simply a connoisseur of compelling storytelling, this episode is your one-stop shop for all things TV and film. Cheers to the adventure!
The film discussion begins around 17:35.
