Plus: Actually Inspiring Sports Movies

This week, Katey, Da7e, David and Patches quickly want to go over this Sunday’s SNL40. Not the greatest SNL, not the worst SNL, but SNL for SNL’s sake, so they have to break down what that means. Then: When is it news, when is it entertainment and when is it our responsibility to know when the difference between the two? The recent Brian Williams debacle frames a conversation that includes actual Fighting like our namesake. Excellent. That plus a discussion on sports movies because of MacFarland USA.

And Empire: Literally the Super Bowl for African American Women?

This week, Katey, Da7e, David and Patches respond to and debate around Devin Faraci’s BadAssDigest.com post “What Are ‘The Movies’ Anyway?”. With television and internet video as prevalent and accessible as it is, what place does defining a “feature film” have any  more? What will “the movies” look like in 50 years? Also, Patches saw Sleepless in Seattle for the first time and shrugs it off as Katey fights for it’s romance and Empire takes Fox by storm

HOVER BOOTS!

This week, Patches, Katey, and David embark on a cross-universe journey in search of the Earth’s rightful owner. Hover boots are worn, giant lizards are fought, and half-elephant/half-man people are admired. Yes, we’re talking Jupiter Ascending, the latest from the Wachowskis. Is it the next Matrix or the next Battlefield Earth? That and brief gushing over the Magic Mike XXL trailer on this week’s FITWR review episode.
