The Hodgepodge Podcast is two years old! And with that dubious anniversary comes our Third Annual Best and Worst Films of the Summer lists! This year, Doug and Dirty A changed things up a little bit. Instead of their three best and three worst each, they have provided their FIVE best films and one worst. This was due to the fact that they largely avoided many of the worst-reviewed films of the summer and they had to limit their lists to what they actually saw. Take a listen and for those of you who have been with us over these last two years, thanks for listening!

Doug Reviews: Z for Zachariah
Adapted from the novel of the same name, Z for Zachariah wraps up the summer movie season not with a bang, but with a very slow burn in one of the most tension-filled films of the year. Continue reading
Doug Reviews: American Ultra
Imagine Matt Damon’s Jason Bourne character, but as a stoner and you’ve pretty much got the premise of Director Nima Mourizadeh’s American Ultra. However, the film falters when it can’t decide if it wants to be a funny Bourne Identity or a straight up spoof like Spy. Continue reading

Doug Reviews: The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
The feature film adaptation of the television show The Man from U.N.C.L.E. is probably co-Writer-Director Guy Ritchie’s least edgy project, but it is also one of his most fun. Continue reading
