Welcome to Facing Off: a podcast where we take two movies we find to be similar and we compare, contrast, and rate them. We believe that movies should be talked about and the best way to judge a movie is by comparing it to something similar. We will talk about good v. bad movies, great v. good movies, or two equally good similar movies from every genre. Hosted by Nick, Layla, and Gabe.  Follow/connect:<a href="http://instagram.com/facingoffpod" rel="nofollow">instagram.com/facingoffpod</a><a href="http://twitter.com/facingoffpod" rel="nofollow">twitter.com/facingoffpod</a><a href="mailto:facingoffpodcast@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">facingoffpodcast@gmail.com</a>

You must not fear, fear is the mind killer. So we&#39;re back with a mega sci-fi blockbuster episode. We stepped off our sandworms and pocketed our lightsabers to discuss two world-building epic first films in big franchise series both based to a certain degree on Frank Herbert&#39;s hit novel. We&#39;re facing &#34;Dune&#34; (2021) off against the iconic &#34;Star Wars&#34; (1977). Which protagonist yells more? Which main planet has more sand? Spice visions or The Force? Who&#39;s more manipulative: the Bene Gesserit or the Jedi? Who kills henchmen better: the Harkonnen&#39;s or Darth Vader? All these questions and more are asked and answered as we break these movies down to declare a winner in our hearts. *Using the Voice* Listen, subscribe, leave a rating and/or review, and let us know what you think about these movies!Follow Us:<a href="http://instagram.com/facingoffpodcast" rel="nofollow">instagram.com/facingoffpodcast</a> <a href="mailto:facingoffpodcast@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">facingoffpodcast@gmail.com</a> Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a> Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>

One ring/throne to rule them all... We are coming in hot on dragon-back to compare two of the most hyped and watched 2022 TV shows. After journeying all across Westeros and Middle Earth, we break down the first seasons of the Game of Thrones prequel series on HBO &#34;House of the Dragon&#34; and the Lord of the Rings prequel series on Amazon Prime &#34;The Rings of Power&#34;. In the first part of this mega episode, we will talk about the epic highs and our least fav parts of each series, and debate how worthy these shows were to be adapted from the source material, let alone follow up two of the biggest series of all time. Tune in to the next episode to find out how we rate the nitty gritty details of the shows&#39; productions and declare a winner!

In the first part of this mega episode, we will talk about the epic highs and our least fav parts of each series, and debate how worthy these shows were to be adapted from the source material, let alone follow up two of the biggest series of all time.

Happy Halloween Y&#39;All! We have a special spooky episode for you and we just had to compare two batshit crazy &#34;horror&#34; movies. We took the 2022 insanely twisted &#34;Barbarian&#34; and faced it off against the classic 2012 horror satire &#34;Cabin in the Woods&#34;. In a battle of two of the more creative and absurd films in the genre, which will take a whole bowl of candy home? Warning: this episode contains heavy spoilers, but we HIGHLY recommend you watch both before listening. DO NOT LOOK UP ANYTHING about Barbarian before watching, if you can stomach even a little bit of scariness, crank that bad boy up on HBO Max now and watch with some friends. Both movies are a wild ride and that&#39;s a Facing Off guarantee!

Prey v. Predators (2010)

Welcome to Facing Off: a podcast where we take two movies we find to be similar and we compare, contrast, and rate them. We believe that movies should be talked about and the best way to judge a movie is by comparing it to something similar. We will talk about good v. bad movies, great v. good movies, or two equally good similar movies from every genre. Hosted by Nick, Layla, and Gabe.
