Review – Along Time Ago We Used To Be Friends And He Used To Be Jessie Pinkman
| 14. March, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

With Special Guests Glenn Dunks and Angie Han!

The sole surviving War Room combatant, Patches ropes in Australian film critic Glenn Dunks and SlashFilm.com reporter Angie Han for this week’s double-header review episode. First, Patches and Glenn go head to head in a race to the death… or review of Aaron Paul’s new vehicular spectacle, Need for Speed. Then Angie joins Patches to talk Veronica Mars, the long-awaited, long-gestating continuation of the cult favorite detective series. Does it live up fan expectations? Will non-fans dragged to the movie by their “marshmallow” significant others survive the onslaught of nostalgia? Patches and Angie are on the case. We wrap the episode with Lighting Round Questions — and a ton of your great answers.

Spoilers For Season One of True Detective.

This week, Katey, Patches and Da7e are David-less as SXSW needs its documentaries judged and who better than David to judge things? This week’s answer is: “maybe the other three” as they throw down about the current pop culture crisis of masculinity that was introduced by Devin on last week’s Enemy Review. Then, Da7e has a new style of mini-game for Patches and Katey and the stakes (more podcast planning work!) have never been higher. Finally, the group processes True Detective: what did it all mean? What was the scope of the story and is it your own damn fault if you were let down? Those questions are certainly posed.

Review – Enemy … of Dudedom
| 8. March, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

With Special Guest Enemy Devin Faraci!

This week one of us is an actor, one of us is a college professor, we may all be spiders, and we’re reviewing Denis Villeneuve and Jake Gyllenhaal’s latest collaboration, Enemy. Badass Digest’s Devin Faraci joins us for a conversation about the moody, brain-twisting and effectively scary film, while also helping us wonder if it has anything actually interesting to say about the biggest problem facing us all: being a dude in these modern times.

Take a listen, embed and/or download below; for more from all of us: follow the show (@FITWR), Patches (@misterpatches), David (@davidehrlich or @CriterionCorner) and Katey (@KateyRich) on Twitter.

013 – Four Adults Complain About A Celebrity Selfie Pizza Party
| 4. March, 2014

EPISODE_GRAPHIC

Four different opinions, one epic segment.

This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e are still winding down from Oscar Season and have decided to devote the entire show to critiquing the 2014 Academy Awards Telecast and a few Oscar recipients, so they can reunite and celebrate and even do some bets in the baccarat online, so everyone could have some fun. Each of the four bring a gripe for discussion and many an offensive tangent is explored from the social etiquette of selfless to a scolding for laughing at the dyslexic. Oh, also 12 Years A Slave begs the question if awarding Best Picture to race films dilute their reception. Hoo boy!
