What happens when filmmakers team up to work on two different movie franchises? In the case of David Leitch and Chad Stahelski, it’s explosive. Zack, Amber, Steve, and Jim buckled up and got down to business watching Atomic Blonde (2017) and John Wick (2014) duke it out.

Ep. 14 Marquee Match: Antz vs A Bug’s Life (Animated Ant Movie Edition)
Sunday Apr 30, 2023
Sunday Apr 30, 2023
In 1998, four years after Jeffery Katzenberg left Disney to help Dreamworks create an animation division, they released their first animated film: “Antz”. And wouldn’t ya know it, that same year Pixar released a movie that also featured these insects: "A Bug's Life". This begged the question for the Film Fight crew, which flick measured up, and which one got stomped?

2006 inexplicably produced two star studded films featuring stories about the life and loves of competing magicians. It screamed Film Fight, so Zack, Amber, Steve and Jim pulled some sleight of hand and recorded this episode. If you’re looking for the secret, you won’t find it, because you’re not really looking… you want to be fooled.

In 1989 Driving Miss Daisy took home the Oscar for Best Picture. 29 years later, Greenbook (2018,) a film with similar themes, also won Best Picture. So you know what that means... Yep— the Film Fight crew had to put them head to head. Zack, Amber, Steve and Jim are now in the driver’s seat as they discuss the parallels, pitfalls and peaks of these two Award Winning movies.
Reveals: Zack gets his own theme song, Jim cures racism, Steve watches the wrong movie again, and Amber attempts reason in unreasonable circumstances.

Sunday Jun 19, 2022
Sunday Jun 19, 2022
Zack, Amber, Steve and Jim explore 1980’s fascination of men taking on traditional mom roles in our marquee match up “Mr. Mom” (1983) vs “Three Men and A Baby” (1987). Was there a ghost on set in one of these movies? Is there a difference between a crib and a bassinet? Is New York rent so expensive it requires three successful men in their 40s to be roommates? If your wife goes back to work will her best friend automatically want to sleep with you? Can you make a grilled cheese sandwich using a clothing iron? The Film Fight crew explores all this and more.
Reveals: Jim tells us which of his marketing clients is most open to new ideas, Steve debuts his new “Breakdown” song, Zack reveals the ghost gossip of Three Men and A Baby, and Amber questions Leonard Nimoy’s directing choices.

The Film Fight foursome immerse themselves in wise-guy linguistics and attempt to “give it a name” while dissecting the crime stories of “Reservoir Dogs” (1992) and “Things to Do In Denver When You’re Dead” (1995).
Reveals: Amber experiences an odd coincidence in watching “Things to Do In Denver”. Zack must say if he would keep his powder dry over lunch with Gary Fleder. Steve writes multiple fake reviews which result in some of his finest faux work to date. Will Jim have a commode story to help supplement the lack of Metacritic posts? The gang lists best and worst Tarantino movies.

Zack and Jim watch social media horror flicks "Friend Request" (2016) and "Unfriended" (2014) while Steve and Amber cover their eyes. As the crew examines the perils of accepting friend requests and youtube videos on dealing with the undead, will someone get unfriended?
Reveals: In true "Never Have I Ever" from we discover two things Amber has never done and several things Zack, Steve and Jim have ALL done. Jim and Steve throw a Meta Critic curve-ball, and we find out why you want Zack as your surgeon and not Steve.
