REVIEW – Foxcatcher
| 14. November, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Plus Dumb and Dumber To and Beyond The Lights  

This week, Patches, Katey and David head to the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seuol to wrestle with Foxcatcher, the latest drama from Moneyball and Capote director Bennett Miller. A grueling match for some, a blood-pumping challenge for others, Foxcatcher arrives to prestige season as one of the year’s most polarizing films. We’ll also touch on Dumb and Dumber To and Beyond the Lights, to movies that exceeded expectations. All that, plus your answers to this week’s lighting round question about actors showing their dark side, on this week’s FITWR Review.

Plus Katey Rich’s Movie Quote Trivia Returns!

This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e throw down in another installment of movie quote trivia in the mini-segment! These quotes were pulled from the years #50-100 grossing movies, so it’s a bit more tough on our hosts. The real meat, though, is a discussion of HBO’s Miniseries Olive Kitterage, which David has seen all of and Patches and Katey read, then a discussion prompted by Friday’s review of Foxcatcher that asks: Since Foxcatcher is about “America” what other movies with big themes do we like? Unsuprisingly, Da7e brings up A Serbian Film again.

REVIEW – Interstellar
| 8. November, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

And Big Hero 6 is mentioned. 

This week, David, Patches, and Katey blast off on a three-year mission to the furthest reaches of our universe, where space-time becomes so warped, that even a heady, composed blockbuster like Interstellar can come into existence. We’ll talk about the latest from Christopher Nolan in non-spoiler and spoiler-heavy sections, so if you’re looking to see the movie pure, come back later! We’ll also field your lighting round question answers on which actor you want to go to space with (plus a brief mention of Big Hero 6). It’ll be kooky.

Featuring Katey Rich and Elizabeth Taylor’s Corpse In Space

This week, Joanna Robinson takes the reigns to bring her residency to a climactic happy ending, much like romantic comedies. That’s right, Manhattan Love Story and A to Z failed at bringing serialized rom-com to the TV screen so it’s time to examine this genre: can it be drawn out and still be satisfying? Did the genre grind to a halt after the execution of Love Actually? IMPORTANT THINGS! Also discussed: The theater critic in Birdman has us thinking about professions portrayed on film and John Wick has each host picking a favorite dumbly plotted movie.
