Ep. 06-02: Dawn of the Dead (2004)

Ana is unpleasantly surprised when her husband is brutally attacked by her zombified neighbor. Ana flees and meets a police officer named Kenneth, along with more survivors who decide that their best chances of survival would be found in the deserted Crossroads Shopping Mall. When other trapped survivors need help and supplies begin running low, the group decides they cannot stay put forever at the Shopping Mall and devise a plan to escape.

Dawn of the Dead (2004) has big shoes to fill, improving upon the original Dawn of the Dead (1978), a major classic in the horror oeuvre. Unfortunately, cameos from the original cast and adding more characters fighting fast zombies is not enough. Join us as we discuss why this movie is flawed, including its director Zack Snyder. Listen, as Johnny Has the Keys runs very fast to a shopping mall sanctuary, fighting an impossibly large and undefeatable mass of the undead.

Ep. 06-01 Jurassic Park (1993)

Paleontologists Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) along with mathematician Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) are among a select group chosen to tour an island theme park populated by dinosaurs created from prehistoric DNA. While the park’s mastermind, billionaire John Hammond (Richard Attenborough), assures everyone that the facility is safe, they find out otherwise when various predators break free and go on the hunt.

We’re starting the season with a massive blockbuster from David’s favorite Mr. Spielberg himself. Jurassic Park (1993) is a landmark film for multiple reasons, but mostly it’s known as the project where CGI had finally reached the capability of lifelike special effects, thus producing dinosaurs that scared the crap out of literally millions of moviegoers. Join us as we discuss the history of the film, as well as all the major components that came together to make it one of America’s all-time classic films. Listen, as Johnny Has the Keys takes you to the most unique amusement park ever, where extinct creatures roam the earth again. It’s all safe. We promise. What could go wrong?

Ep. 05-39: Iron Man (2008)

IRON MAN (2008)—Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), is a brilliant inventor and wealthy industrialist who is testing weapons abroad when he is abducted by terrorists. They coerce him into creating a catastrophic weapon, but instead, he designs a powerful armored suit that helps him escape and defeat his captors. Upon his return to the US, Stark enhances the suit and utilizes it to fight against crime and terrorism, even within his own company, Stark Industries.

X-Men (2000) and Spider-Man (2002) were first, but it was Iron Man (2008) that laid the foundation for what we now know as the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Join us as we explore the profound impact of the film and how it’s influenced modern superhero movies. Listen, as Johnny Has the Keys leaves years of reckless behavior and exploiting others behind, finally embracing our true destiny of altruism and securing world peace.
