Episode 27: The Great Void

This month Steve and I delve into alternate kinds of dark territory by reviewing the monolithic sci-fi hit GRAVITY and the remake of MANIAC starring Elijah Wood. I also review THE KILLER SNAKES, a 1973 horror film produced by the Shaw Brothers. We also discuss the difficulties of separating art from artist, case in point: the author Orson Scott Card, who wrote the book ENDER'S GAME, and his controversial stance on homosexuality. Can you endorse a person's literature, film or other work of art and easily reject their unpopular opinions and actions? This and a whole lot more great chatter on this episode.

Episode 25: The Summer's End

This month, Steve and I wrap up the summer by discussing the works of Edgar Wright and his latest film THE WORLD'S END and we also talk a lil' Woody Allen as I review his new film BLUE JASMINE. We also exchange our thoughts about a very interesting New York Times article about how fatherhood changes movie-going habits in surprising ways. Here's a link to that story here:

Episode 15: What's So Funny? A look at modern comedies

It seems Steve and I have much different tastes when it comes to comedies. In the past decade, we've experienced a rising popularity in ribald rated R comedies like THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN, BORAT, THE HANGOVER & BRIDESMAIDS. I've enjoyed these films. My co-host Steve has not. This week, we explore our disagreements in comedies, including what we believe are underrated classics of the genre, including some that are misunderstood (see above.) Listen in to see who has the last laugh.
