Review – This Is Where I Leave You/The Maze Runner
| 19. September, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

David and Patches from The Glade

This week, David and Patches walk the puzzling pathways week’s wide releases, navigating through Shawn Levy’s Hollywoodized indie This Is Where I Leave You and the latest dysoptian YA adaptation, The Maze Runner. Does the September slump continue or is the upswing in full effect. That and answers to this week’s lightning round question on movies that took a few tries to digest, on this week’s review ep.

40 – Live From A.O. Scott’s Lawn, It’s the Death of Adulthood
| 16. September, 2014

EPISODE_GRAPHIC

Oh, Say, Can You See? That They’re Talking About Kevin Smith Too?

This week, Katey’s gone AWOL, so it’s up to returning champion Matt Patches to set the tone for the show. Patches wants to talk about A.O. Scott’s New York Times essay on the death of adulthood (LINK), then he wants to discuss The Star-Spangled Banner in honor of it’s 200th anniversary. Then, in honor of Tusk, Kevin Smith’s new horror film that Patches has seen, it’s back to the Kevin Smith well to check in: what do we all think about the Askew View of this now Tusk and Red State filmmaker? That plus a lightning round question about confusing movies.

PREVIEW – What’s On TV This Fall?
| 12. September, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Two Women and a Guy Talk Boob Tube. He’s The Boob.

This week, with David and Patches hogging all the good movies in Toronto, Katey Rich summons Da7e and Joanna to fill her in on what she needs to know about the Fall TV Season before she takes off on her honeymoon. Joanna is well educated on the new shows worth watching and has some good advice on watching Boardwalk Empire. Da7e is on hand to go over the three superhero shows making their debut and joins Katey in Black-ish curiosity. No one mentions Selfie.

Randall Canadian Flagg

This week, Patches and David have decamped to the Toronto International Film Festival and bring us a Segment 3 report through droopy, tired eyes. Back in the War Room, Katey, Joanna and Da7e discuss Katey’s revisiting Stephen King’s The Stand and it’s troubled road to a film adaptation. Also, each of the three picks a young actor they wish would get to show more range. All that plus a pitiful Lighting Round question.
