SHOWNOTES: Hold it! Court is now in session for the trial of the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, as presided by Collateral Gaming and Collateral Cinema. We recently teamed up to check out Takashi Miike's Ace Attorney film, and now we're checking out the source material, as Ash and Beau cross-examine the very title that started it all in Part 1! Originally released in 2001 on the GBA, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney surprised the world when it was brought to the DS a few years later, meeting unprecedented success for an unconventional type of video game at that time. But how much fun are this "lawyer simulator" visual novel adventure game and its successors, really? Get our verdict on the latest Collateral Media collaboration special, and stay tuned for Part 2, where we'll be discussing the remaining 2 titles of the trilogy: Justice for All and Trials and Tribulations!

SHOWNOTES: Once upon a time warp... in a galaxy very, very very, very far away, we decided to feature a Mel Brooks movie for the first time on this podcast! This has been a long time coming, and since we covered the Star Wars prequel trilogy last season, it seemed appropriate now to check out the cult classic 1987 space opera parody Spaceballs. So, grab a blunt, bong, or whatever you got, prepare to go to Ludicrous Speed, and may the Schwartz be with you!

SHOWNOTES: Take that! Collateral Cinema is joined by Collateral Gaming at the defense bench, as we cross-examine Takashi Miike's movie adaptation of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney! Continuing our #Miikeversary celebration this year, we decided it was high time to explore Miike-sensei's take on the courtroom drama visual novel adventure series. Beau and Ash discuss the Ace Attorney film as a Miike work and as a video game movie, comparing and contrasting it with the legendary director's filmography as well as the source material in this case. If you enjoyed our take on this franchise, stay tuned for Collateral Gaming's part of the collaboration event, as we join them for a look at the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy! Or if not... Objection!

SHOWNOTES: Beau and Ash headed out to a local theater to watch the first film of the MCU's Phase Five: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania! Peyton Reed's third Ant-Man film marks the proper introduction of Jonathan Majors' Kang the Conqueror on the big screen (a variant played by Majors having briefly been seen at the end of Loki season 1), but how do his and the remainder of the cast's performances stand? How is the latest Marvel movie as a whole, and what should we expect from the rest of Phase Five and The Multiverse Saga now that our next "Thanos" is here? Get our thoughts on the latest At the Movies Edition of Collateral Cinema!

ORIGINAL EPISODE: Ep 00: Takashi Miike’s Audition (1999)
SHOWNOTES: We hope our listeners had an enjoyable Valentine's Day, and just in time: we've got a special episode for you lovebirds out there... As part of our Anniversary Special this season, we're celebrating over 5 years of podcasting with a redux of our original pilot: Audition. This 1999 horror film from Japanese icon and movie Chad Takashi Miike is known among the annals of disturbing cinema for its graphic depiction of torture just prior to the 2000s, and out of all the films we've covered so far, it's definitely worthy of a re-analysis. Stay tuned for more #Miikeversary content this month as Collateral Gaming joins us for a look at Miike's Ace Attorney movie!

SPECIAL GUEST: The Vern, Cinema Recall (@cinema_recall)
SHOWNOTES: The Vern from Cinema Recall joins Collateral Cinema and Collateral Gaming on our journey in Silent Hill! Many of our listeners may remember the 2006 film adaptation of the perennial survival horror game series from director Christophe Gans, but how faithfully does it represent the atmospheric, psychological brand of horror its source material is known for, and how does it hold up as a supernatural horror flick on its own? Get our thoughts on our latest Collaboration Special, and stay tuned for a look at the Silent Hill franchise on the next Collateral Gaming: Bonus Round! Collateral Cinema will be joining to talk about the original PS1 title along with Homecoming.

Title: Clueless
Director: Amy Heckerling
Producer: Scott Rudin, Robert Lawrence
Writer: Amy Heckerling
Stars: Alicia Silverstone, Stacey Dash, Brittany Murphy, Paul Rudd
SPECIAL GUEST: Stew, Stew World Order Productions (@SWOProductions)
SHOWNOTES: Collateral Cinema missing one of the best teen comedy films of all time? As if! Returning guest Stew from the Stew World Order Podcast (see: our episodes on Scream (1996), Spider-Man 3) joins us for an examination of Amy Heckerling's seminal 1995 coming-of-age movie Clueless. Starring Alicia Silverstone and Paul Rudd, this picture is technically a loose live action adaptation of Jane Austen's 1815 novel Emma, and at the same time a time capsule of the 90s. It's also bursting at the seams with vibrant characterization, consistent humor, quotable lines, and a satirical yet wholesome story. Something something, only 90s kids remember. If you enjoy this episode, let us know on your platform of choice, and stay tuned for our upcoming take on Silent Hill with Collateral Gaming!

SPECIAL GUEST: Frank Lourence, Geek Freaks Podcast (@geekfreakspod)
SHOWNOTES: Mariska Hargitay! Frank from Geek Freaks joins us for the final installment of 2022's Bad Movie Month and our final episode of the year: The Love Guru! This 2008 rom-com written and produced by, and starring Mike Myers won 3 Razzies (including Worst Picture), but for some of us is a callback to our childhoods and our juvenile sense of humor. Is it truly Myers' Master of Disguise? Is there any semblance of joy to be had experiencing this disaster of a picture? Find out on the latest episode of Collateral Cinema, and have a Happy New Year!
