Movie Fights was one of my favorite YouTube Show that the Screen Junkies had done. It was a regular debate show where three pundits would argue over questions posed by a host. It was always fun because they had a Movie Fights Champion, with a Championship title (like wrestling would have) as well.

I was introduced to Dan Murrell through Movie Fights, who is one of my favorite online critics, as well as introducing me to John Rocha, Scott Mantz, the Schmoes, Hal Rudnick, Spencer Gilbert, Greg Elba, Roxie Striar (actually met her from TV Fights), Ken Napzok, Coy Jandreau and Andy Signore.

Movie Fights ended around February of 2020.

Then, last night, I saw a brand new Movie Fights on YouTube and I was so excited. When I pulled it up, Hal Rudnick was hosting the show with the three movie fighters, Dan Murrell, Spencer Gilbert and Mike Carlson. Murrell, the former Movie Fights champ, Spencer, one of the key writers at Screen Junkies, and Mike Carlson, who is as eccentric as possible, and they have great chemistry.

Dan Murrell continues to be the best debater that you will ever see. He is constantly providing strong arguments and intelligent takes on movies. Spencer does a solid job arguing as well.

The format of the show did not change. It was exactly like I remembered. Hal is a bit chaotic as a host, but he is funny and quick. Emma Fyffe was the fact-checker for the episode and she did a great job.

I don’t know if this is a regular return or not, but I enjoyed the show and would love to see more.
