Missing Real with Mike D'ArrigoAuthor: Mike D'Arrigo
Great movies take their place in history, but what about all the "turkeys" and disastrous flops littering the vast cinematic cesspool? If you really love movies, then what does it matter if a particular film won eight Oscars or eight Razzies? Sometimes over-the-top hammy acting, laughably choreographed fight sequences and rubber monster FX outdo even the most lavish productions in the Academy Awards echelon. So, whether it's an unsurpassed masterpiece or a piece of something else, every movie I talk about in this podcast is near and dear to my heart. Some you will know well, some you'd be well off never knowing at all, at least until hearing just how enjoyably awful they are, so plug in those earbuds or don your expensive blingy Beats, and let's take a trip to the movies!

What seemed like a pretty goofy premise somehow became a worldwide blockbuster in 2009: a big-budget movie about tall blue cat people riding pterodactyls through floating mountains and speaking some made-up tree-huggy language. WTF??? But we loved it, huh? Avatar was a hit! Finally James Cameron could go back to making entertaining movies again and snap out of his lunatic Jacques Cousteau underwater wet dream documentary phase. He's even been hard at work for the last decade making a whole bunch of sequels, but thankfully I work a little faster and I've recorded this fascinating audio adventure that will bring back all your fond memories of Pandora...oh, right...you don't remember what Pandora is. A streaming radio station, some jewelry shop, that chick with the box...something like that? Well, just have a listen and it'll all come rushing back to you. By the way, it's all in English. My Na'vi is a little rusty.
