3 Guys and a Flick - Movie Reviews

The name’s Bond… James Bond. This week, 3 Guys and a Flick takes aim at Tomorrow Never Dies, the explosive Pierce Brosnan adventure that pits 007 against a power-hungry media mogul determined to start World War III—for ratings. Join Don and Professor Ken (while Jon is mysteriously MIA) as they break down outrageous action sequences, behind-the-scenes stories, unforgettable gadgets, Michelle Yeoh’s scene-stealing performance as Wai Lin, and whether Brosnan’s second Bond outing still has a license to thrill. Is this an underrated 007 classic or just another disposable mission? Suit up, grab your martini, and join us to find out!

How far would you go to survive? This week on 3 Guys and a Flick, we’re taking on one of Stephen King’s most haunting stories as we review The Long Walk, the long-awaited film adaptation directed by Francis Lawrence.

We break down the unforgettable performances from Cooper Hoffman, David Jonsson, and Mark Hamill, explore the film’s grim dystopian world, and dig into the powerful themes of war, sacrifice, conformity, and the cost of entertainment. Did the movie live up to decades of anticipation? Did it capture what made King’s novel so unforgettable?

Along the way, we discuss the film’s most shocking and emotional moments, debate what the ending really means, examine the creative decisions behind the adaptation, and reveal our final ratings. Whether you’re a lifelong Stephen King fan or just experienced The Long Walk for the first time, there’s plenty to unpack.

Join us for laughs, debate, behind-the-scenes trivia, and a deep dive into one of the year’s most talked-about thrillers.

Take the walk… if you think you can keep up.

This week, 3 Guys and a Flick pulls up a chair, breaks out the duct tape, and dives into the 1997 crime thriller Suicide Kings. Four rich young guys think kidnapping a retired mob boss is the smart way to save a missing sister and collect a ransom. Unfortunately for them, Christopher Walken is not the kind of guy you tie to a chair and walk away from clean.

Don, Jon, and Ken break down this 90s cocktail of crime, bad decisions, dark comedy, and gangster cool. They talk Walken’s quiet menace, Denis Leary’s scene-stealing chaos, the movie’s slick style, its “play dumb games, win dumb prizes” energy, and an ending that may have needed a little more time in the trunk.

There’s trivia, spoilers, questionable plans, severed fingers, and plenty of debate over whether Suicide Kings is an underrated cult crime flick or a ransom note that never quite gets paid off.

Pack your raincoat, surrender your sidearm, and whatever you do… don’t go to the lighthouse.

This week, 3 Guys and a Flick travel into Martin Scorsese’s psychological thriller Shutter Island, where nothing is what it seems, everyone is hiding something, and Leonardo DiCaprio may or may not be the only sane person on the island. Don, Ken, and Jon break down the film’s twisted plot, debate Leo’s performance as Teddy Daniels, praise Ben Kingsley’s eerie calm, and dig into the haunting visuals, unsettling needle-drop score, and all the clues hiding in plain sight.

The Guys also explore the movie’s big themes, identity, trauma, role-play treatment, conspiracy, and the gut-punch question at the center of the ending: does Andrew Laeddis choose sanity, or does Teddy Daniels choose escape?

Plus, listener voicemails, trivia, final ratings, and enough paranoia to make you question whether this podcast is real or just part of an elaborate therapy session.

So watch the cliffs and join us at Ashecliffe Hospital for the Criminally Insane as we review Shutter Island.

This week, 3 Guys in a Flick are reporting for duty with Goldfinger, the 1964 Bond classic where Sean Connery fully locks into 007 mode and the franchise formula turns to solid gold.

From Shirley Bassey’s unforgettable theme song to the Aston Martin DB5, Oddjob’s deadly hat, Goldfinger’s over-the-top villainy, and the legendary Fort Knox finale, the guys break down why this film became the blueprint for generations of Bond movies. They discuss the film’s massive blockbuster impact, Guy Hamilton’s influence on the Bond/Q dynamic, standout performances from Connery, Gert Frobe, Honor Blackman, and Harold Sakata, and whether the movie still earns its golden reputation today.

Expect spoilers, trivia, gadgets, gold paint, questionable villain decisions, pacing debates, and plenty of shaken-not-stirred banter as Don, John, and Ken take aim at one of the most iconic entries in the James Bond franchise.
