Review – And God Told Noah, ‘You Shall Build a Podcast’
| 28. March, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Plus, maybe The Raid 2 isn’t the greatest fight movie of all time?

This week, Katey, Patches, and David destroy mankind with a flood of opinions on Noah, the Biblical epic from Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky. Was it a religious experience or 40 days and 40 nights of an overblown blockbuster downpour? As a bonus, Patches and David punch their way through the universal praise of The Raid 2 to figure out what it does right and wrong. All that and your answers to this week’s lighting round on movies too gory to enjoy.

016 – Cold War II Green-Lit After Director’s Previous Indie Success

Plus Bible Movies We’d See.

This week, Da7e takes a much-deserved vacation, leaving Katey, Patches, and David to worry over the government’s interference in their lives. Or maybe those are the lingering feelings left from catching up with Three Days of the Condor and Manchurian Candidate, two conspiracy thrillers reflecting Cold War and present day mentalities. After shaking their paranoia, the trio turns their attention to indie directors’ blockbuster ambitions, a discussion sparked by Darren Aronofsky’s Noah. And in a rare moment of religious positivity, a mini-segment dedicated to Bible stories that deserve an on-screen treatment. All that and a Raid 2-inspired lighting round question, in this week’s Fighting in the War Room.

Review – A Podcast In The Wall Where The Boys And Girls Can See It All (Parts 1 &2)
| 21. March, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

SSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXX!

This week we’ve decided it’s finally time to share our deep feelings about fly fishing, as we review Lars von Trier’s new film Nymphomaniac (or two new films, Nyphomaniac Vol. 1 and Vol. 2., depending on who you ask). Is it a proper Socratic dialogue with a lot of big ideas on its mind? Is it remotely sexy with all that flesh on display? Is Shia LaBeouf’s British accent the crime of the century or merely intolerable? All that, plus your answers to this week’s lightning round question about movies featuring puppets.

015 – The Horrors And Whores Of Franchise Resurrection

Plus David’s Judgement From SXSW.

This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e are back in New York, and – BY GUM! – the Veronica Mars movie finally came out. While Da7e wears his backer T-shirt, stickers and stupid grin, everyone else wants to know what this means for Kickstarter movies and bringing television franchises back from the dead and onto another medium. Also, David reports on his experiences as a SXSW Competition Judge and we all dream cast someone in Star Wars: Episode VII.
