Smoking Joints, Talking About Life

This week, David, Patches, and Katey tackle a double feature: Shane Black’s Nice Guys and Nicholas Stoller’s Neighbors 2. Both involve smoking joints and talking about life. But do they both work? That and answers to our Neighbors 2-themed lightning round question on this week’s review episode.

Former U.S. Congressman and current New York mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner leaves his apartment building, in New York, Wednesday, July 24, 2013. On Tuesday Weiner made a public mea culpa for a newfound sexting scandal that erupted amid the mayoral run he hopes will rewrite his political future. (AP Photo/Richard Drew)

When Segment 3 Got Deleted

This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David suffer some technical difficulties, so this week’s segment 3 about hte “Game of Thrones” phenomena had to get cut (it was full of static and pauses, you would have hated it). After a now ironic couple of reviews that include audio quality knocks, the team takes on Weiner, the new documentary that closely follows the Anthony Weiner scandal. Then, Patches is on the Dakota Johnson train now that he’s seen How to be Single. Then the show wraps up because of technical difficulties. Drag. We’ll fix it.

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?
