1994 Movie Roulette
Introducing a new game we call Movie Roulette. The game works like so - it's centered around a year, in this case 1994. We spin a roulette wheel which instead of number has five categories - Drama, Thriller/Horror, Comedy, Blockbuster and Wildcard. Whichever category we land on is the one from which we have to select a movie. We will go until each of us has selected from every category. After listening, we invite you to vote on who you think made the five best selections. The voting will be held on X (Twitter).

Showdown: Best Director of the 21st Century
In another edition of the Thunderdome Showdown we try to figure out who the best film director is of the 21st Century. We're focusing on directors whose feature debut released in the year 2000 or later. We each brought 4 directors to the table and hashed it out to see which was best.
The directors are: Greta Gerwig, Taika Waititi, Damien Chazelle, Rian Johnson, Alejandro Inarritu, Bong Joon Jo, Ryan Coogler, and Asghar Farhadi. -
Dream Teams
At some point, we've probably all fantasized about our favorite actors and filmmakers collaborating on the perfect project. In this episode, we craft our dream team of actors, directors, and stories.
Customer Reviews
Pleasantly provocative.
A very enjoyable, playoff style battle of movies based on a theme. The three judges make for easy listening while showing a deep appreciation and often nuanced look into the makings of good versus great films.
Looking forward to future episodes!
Welcome to the Thunderdome
First off given the premise of the show, Tinseltown Thunderdome is such a good name for this show. With just two episodes in (at the time of this review) on Disney and the Bond franchise, Cameron, Aaron and Matt are already showing a variety across the film spectrum to measure up and debate on. Despite this, they keep things fun and avoid being too critical while still remaining informative and showing passion for movies. At this moment, listen and subscribe to them now and easily catch up! Many enter but only one can win!
Great show!
This show has likable and knowledgable hosts and a verrry fun format. The podcast also gets in and out quickly making for perfect listening for a commute to and from work. I can't wait to see how these film match-ups shake out going forward.
