    …because this greedy MFer has put hundreds in each episode. Most times the same thrice in a row. Unlistenable.

  • My boy Tony is a good dude!

    Been listening to Hack The Movies for almost 5 years now. I love Tony and his friends. Tony and the gang cover great movies in a fun format that always entertains. He is famous for reasons beyond his being in that pod racing scene in the worst Batman movie ever.

Scary Movie, Masters of the Universe, Disclosure Day and More! June 2026 Wrap-Up - Hack The Movies (#491)
Q: What did Vinny say about the wrestling-to-film transition and how it helped his acting?
He described wrestling as a springboard that built his improv, stunt, and combat abilities, while acknowledging the additional challenges of script study and developing a full character beyond in-ring persona.
Scary Movie, Masters of the Universe, Disclosure Day and More! June 2026 Wrap-Up - Hack The Movies (#491)
Q: How did Vinny get involved with Mr. Reset and the Society of Turnbuckle and Bone?
Vinny explained that he was the first person the director reached out to, and although he contributed to story input, his producing role was limited to those initial discussions before the project expanded into a full film.
Spider-Noir is The Multiverse Done RIGHT! - Hack The Movies (#484)
Q: What stood out most about Spider-Noir's presentation?
The noir stylization—lighting, Dutch angles, and a deliberate old-timey vibe—felt authentic and distinct, making the multiverse concept feel purposeful rather than derivative.
Backrooms, Punisher, Mandalorian and Grogu and More! May 2026 Wrap-Up - Hack The Movies (#482)
Q: What was the director's approach to the Backrooms concept and how did that shape the film?
The director treated the Backrooms as a liminal, almost documentary-like space, focusing on real-time exploration and atmosphere rather than heavy-handed lore, which kept it grounded even as broader mythology expanded.
BONUS AUDIO: Talking About The Whistler With Its Director!
Q: Where did you shoot the film?
The production took place in Colombia due to the Venezuelan context at the time, using a sugar cane plantation that offered the right atmosphere and logistics for the story.
