Review – Money Monster and High-Rise
| 13. May, 2016

Screen-Shot-2016-01-13-at-17.03.25

With returning guest Jordan Hoffman!

This week, Dave, Katey, Patches, and special guest Jordan Hoffman of The Guardian invest all their critical thoughts into two cinematic options: Money Monster, the latest from director Jodie Foster, and High-Rise, Ben Wheatley’s dystopian fever dream. Are George Clooney and Julia Roberts feeling bullish? Did Tom Hiddleston charm their pants off? All that and your answers to this week’s Lobster-themed lightning round question, on this week’s review episode.

Plus, David is a Fanboy about Radiohead

This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David hear you: That Captain America: Civil War review last Friday was divisive. Our comments and Twitters felt the force of Civil War fans who felt David and Patches went too hard on the film, so this week as a way of using that to further discussion, David talks about Radiohead’s new album Moon Shaped Pool helped him understand Marvel fandom, then Katey and Da7e get a whole segment to respond to Friday’s review and the comments left on FightingInTheWarRoom.com. Then, Jodie Foster’s Money Monster is coming out this week with Julia Roberts and George Clooney as the stars, but it doesn’t seem like those names hold the sway they used to. Is Money Monster a relic of an older form of star power?
