As Summer continues, the guys from Simplistic Reviews get a little hot under the collar. This month DJ and Matt rip into Kate Mara for her contempt of comic book films and their fans, while also paying their debts in a new segment where they FINALLY review the 2004 Ice Cube motorcycle classic "Torque."
The guys also go over what they took away from this year's San Diego Comic-Con and get their quote on with another addition of Simply Quotable with the stakes even higher this time around.
All this, and so much more, on this month's edition of the Simplistic Review Podcast.

Alright folks, it's time to dust off your flannel, feather your mullet and bust out the VCR again because it's time for another Simplistic Reviews Movie Commentary. We return to 1989 with another classic; "Lethal Weapon 2." The sequel to another classic,"Lethal Weapon," "Weapon 2" pretty much ups the ante over it's predecessor and exceeds and it some ways. This time around Riggs and Murtaugh are on the trail of a group of South Africans who are into some shady dealings, including a guy who might be David Warner.
Whereas "Weapon 1" was a pretty dark film, "Weapon 2" is a the perfect balance of humor, bombastic action, and gritty cop drama. With that said, sit back, strap yourself in (if you're into that type of thing) and get ready to yuck it up with three guys who make Jones, Mahoney, and Hooks look like legit cops with "Lethal Weapon 2."

It's May, and wouldn't you know it, we're on time this time! The Simplistic Reviews Podcast is once again....ON TIME!
This month we recap all that was the month of May, with a special guest appearance from America's OTHER favorite black guy, the DC Fanboy himself, Neal DaSouza. The quartet discuss the hidden beauty behind Grace Jones in "View to a Kill", where Marvel is finally showing the chinks in their armor, and all take part in a rather "arousing" rendition of "Kill, F*ck, or Marry." We also get a little literary, literally, when the guys talk about which graphic novel, book, or comic book arc should be adapted for the big or small screen in this month's "Simply the Best."
All that and so much more in their May Edition of The Simplistic Reviews Podcast.
Note: I realize that I switched between speaking in the first and third person, but that's just one of the benefits of being a little, how you say.......insane.

In honor of The Dark Knight's 75th Anniversary, the Simplistic Reviews Podcast got the whole gang together to talk about the legacy of Batman. Now you're probably wondering...what makes that different from any other show? Ummmm...not much. Although, the boys do hold an NFL style Draft of Batman villains who they think could kill the Caped Crusader. Afterwards the draft grades are given out by a very special guest arbiter brought in to class up and beautify the proceedings...Matthew's very own lovely wife Nicole Stewart. No, she does not show any favoritism. Yes, their marriage nearly comes apart at the seams. No, Justin, DJ, and Neal don't try to help matters. The boys discuss Batfleck's new Batsuit and also pick out their own favorite versions of Batman and Joker on a very special Simply The Best segment.
Grab your cape, your cowl, your shark repellent, and your Bat credit card and enjoy the show!

On this late edition of The Simplistic Reviews Podcast, Matt, DJ, and Justin try to catch up on the month that was April. They take their turn ridiculing soon to be former LA Clippers owner Donald Sterling then debut a new game called Simply Lying. The losers of this game will have to watch and review the 2004 film Torque. Yeah, they'd have been better off fighting to the death. We do get a pretty decent Terrence Howard impersonation from Matthew out of it and learn some of the lesser known criminal activities of Samuel L. Jackson. That, reactions to Star Wars casting, Julie's descent into HYDRA and much much more on this episode of the Simplistic Reviews Podcast.

Here's a drinking game. Take a shot every time the boys mention Michael Bay's new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. No, wait...you'll be dead in like 10 minutes. Okay, take a shot every time they insult Michael Bay's new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. No, no, you'll be dead in about the same amount of time. Neal DaSouza fills in for an ailing Matthew Stewart and helps discuss various members of the cinematic animal kingdom. From Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, to Alvin And The Chipmunks, to something called Rastamouse. (And you thought anthropomorphic turtles was disturbing.) The boys also air more dirty laundry in their most embarrassing segment, Simply Ashamed, and each pick their favorite non-Marvel Studios Marvel movie. I got my fingers crossed for Howard The Duck. All that and more on the March edition of the Simplistic Reviews Podcast.

In a desperate attempt the gain some respectability, The Simplistic Reviews Podcast has on special guest from Insession Film, JD Duran. But in only twenty minutes, the boys corrupt this once reputable man to the point where he is setting fire to the Academy Awards, secretly stalking Jennifer Lawrence, and verbally berating Will Smith. All in a days work for Matt, Justin and DJ. Enjoy this corrupting episode of The Simplistic Reviews Podcast....oh...and the boys conjure the ghosts of Orson Welles and Alfred Hitchcock...yeah...that happened.

Welcome to 2014! It might be a new year, but we can guarantee that the boys will still be as juvenile as ever. In the first full podcast of the year, the gang has some fun with words as Matt takes on "Word Association." From Shia LeBouf to the latest Warner Bros/DC calamity. No one is safe.
Neal also regales the gang with his adventures with rednecks at his local Monster Truck Show, and Justin mistakenly believes Shaquille O'Neal starred in "Hanging With Mr. Cooper."
This is just a taste of what you're getting into with this month's Simplistic Review Podcast.
