3 Guys and a Flick - Movie Reviews

Podcast 249: Heart Eyes

Love is in the air… and so is murder. 💘🔪

This week on 3 Guys and a Flick, we’re celebrating Valentine’s Day the only way we know how—by diving into the blood-soaked rom-com slasher Heart Eyes. Set in Seattle, this masked maniac isn’t just breaking hearts… he’s breaking couples.

Can sparks and screams actually coexist? We break down the chemistry between Allie and Jay, the over-the-top kills, the shocking twist and whether this genre mashup delivers true love or just cheap thrills.

It’s flirty. It’s freaky. It’s spoiler-filled. Grab your chocolates, hide your date and press play. 

Podcast 248: Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare

This week, Don and Jon strap on the 3D glasses (yes, those glasses) and descend into the neon-lit, cartoonish chaos of Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare. Was this supposed to be the final nail in the Elm Street coffin… or just a studio-approved cash grab wearing Freddy’s glove?

We slice into the film’s troubled production, Rachel Talalay’s wild swing at the franchise and Robert Englund’s fully Looney Tunes style Freddy. We talk gimmicky 3D kills, did-we-need-them cameos, standout deaths and how this movie somehow laughed its way to box-office success while critics sharpened their knives.

Is Freddy’s Dead a misunderstood finale? A tonal nightmare? Or the moment the franchise tripped over its own punchline and face-planted into the dream world?
We argue what works, roast what doesn’t, drop trivia like bodies, and debate whether this one truly belongs near the bottom of the Elm Street pantheon.

So pour yourself some coffee… because sleep is overrated.
One, two, time to review...

Podcast 247: Hellboy (2004)

Right hand of Doom, crooked destiny and enough practical monsters to make CGI cry. This week on 3 Guys and a Flick, we kick open the door to Hellboy (2004) with full snark, zero mercy and a big red attitude. We break down Ron Perlman’s iconic scowl, Selma Blair’s tragic glow, del Toro’s love letter to comic-book weirdness, gnarly creature effects, villian letdowns, deep-cut trivia and a spoiler-soaked brawl over fate vs. free will. Grab a cigar, pet some cats and listen responsibly—because destiny’s knocking, and it doesn’t care if you’re ready.

Podcast 246: Greyhound

All hands on deck! This week on 3 Guys and a Flick, we’re diving headfirst into Greyhound, the white-knuckle WWII thriller starring Tom Hanks as Commander Krause.

We break down relentless pacing, booming sound design, and nail-biting U-boat cat-and-mouse as Krause leads a convoy of ships through a deadly North Atlantic wolfpack. Is the leadership portrayal rock-solid? Does the realism hold up? And would this intense ride hit harder on the big screen—or at home with the volume cranked?

Plus: trivia drops, ratings, and a spirited debate on character depth vs. pure cinematic tension. Strap in, sonar’s pinging—this one doesn’t let up.

Podcast 245: Identity

This week the 3 Guys head straight into the storm with the movie Identity, a twisty 2003 thriller from James Mangold that still messes with your head.

We break down the stacked cast — John Cusack, Ray Liotta, and Amanda Peet — and dig into the creative choices that make this motel nightmare tick. From hidden clues and repeating motifs to fractured psyches, nothing escapes the Guys’ scrutiny.

We unpack the infamous twist, debate whether it still lands on repeat viewings, and cover soundtrack notes, behind-the-scenes trivia, character rankings, ratings, and a final verdict that may divide the table.

If you love psychological thrillers, big swings, and heated takes — this episode is absolutely you. 

Podcast 244: The Replacements

Suit up and hit the gridiron with the 3 Guys as we call an audible on The Replacements. 🏈 This week, the crew breaks down the ultimate underdog football flick—diving into clutch performances from Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman, killer needle-drops, and trivia that moves the chains. We huddle up to talk strike-era inspiration, sports-movie clichés, rom-com play calls, and whether the X’s and O’s actually hold up on replay.

From the legendary bar-bonding drive to the final comeback march downfield, we celebrate the film’s heart while flagging the fumbles—pacing penalties, continuity calls, and all. Then it’s fourth-quarter banter, final ratings, and a victory formation you don’t want to miss.

If you love football movies, locker-room laughs and spirited debate, this episode is a must-listen. No scabs—just solid takes. Press play and join the huddle.

Podcast 243: 2025 Year In Review

Before we slam the door on 2025, 3 Guys and a Flick hits rewind. Fifty episodes. Countless arguments. Big wins, painful misses, and moments so ridiculous they probably shouldn’t have made the final cut—but did anyway.

We’re breaking down the stats, rankings, surprises, and full behind-the-scenes chaos that defined our year at the mic. No polish. No mercy. Just a loud, honest, and hilarious look back at everything we watched.

Podcast 242: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Plug in the lights, grab the eggnog, and brace yourself for a full Griswold-level meltdown.

To end our holiday movie run 3 Guys and a Flick decks the halls with a deep dive into National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. We break down the cast, iconic scenes, and behind-the-scenes trivia that turned Clark Griswold’s perfect family Christmas into one of the most quoted holiday movies of all time.

From the legendary light display to the unforgettable Cousin Eddie payoff, we debate Chevy Chase’s endlessly optimistic (and endlessly unhinged) Clark, share our favorite moments, and wrestle with the big question: does this movie still hold up as a holiday staple — or is it more of a seasonal endurance test?

Expect personal takes, final ratings, and plenty of laughs as we go full Griswold in our latest festive review.

Podcast 241: Daddy’s Home 2

Our Holiday Series rolls on as 3 Guys and a Flick unwraps Daddy’s Home 2, the loud, ridiculous, and surprisingly warm Christmas sequel that reunites Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg for a “Together Christmas” that never had a chance.

This time, the festivities go completely off the rails when two grandpas crash the party — Mel Gibson’s ultra-macho wildcard and John Lithgow’s soft-spoken sweetheart — turning peace, love, and goodwill into competitive dad energy cranked to eleven. Add in John Cena, over-the-top set pieces, and nonstop holiday absurdity, and you’ve got a recipe for festive mayhem.

We break down the biggest laughs, the best running gags, the cast chemistry, and whether this sequel earns its spot on the holiday watchlist. Expect spoilers, sarcasm, belly laughs, and just enough Christmas heart to keep the lights twinkling. 🎅🎁

Plug in the lights, grab the eggnog, and join us for this holiday dad showdown.

Podcast 240: Krampus

This holiday season… not every creature coming down the chimney brings good cheer.

On this week’s episode of 3 Guys and a Flick, we’re unwrapping Krampus (2015)—a wicked winter tale where a broken family loses their Christmas spirit… and gains the attention of something far older, far colder, and far less forgiving.

Join us as we dive into the sharp-toothed stocking stuffers of this movie: the killer toys, the demonic décor, the snow-drenched dread, and the creature effects that bring the ancient Yuletide punisher to life. We’ll break down the casting, the blend of dark humor and genuine chills, and of course… that unsettling snow-globe twist that turns the whole holiday on its head.

So stoke the fire, lock the doors, and whisper your wishes carefully—because in this episode, the only thing watching you isn’t Santa… it’s Krampus.
