Reviews – The Sexiest Reviews of Awkward Moment and Labor Day You Will Hear Today
| 31. January, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

With Special Guest Amy Nicholson!

This week, David and Patches make a pack never to take dates to That Awkward Moment, the new bro comedy produced by and starring the comedic wunderkind Zac Efron. Then we wrangle Amy Nicholson of L.A. Weekly to help us bake a peach pie/make things a little steamier when we review Labor Day, the new film from Juno and Young Adult director Jason Reitman. We’d say who wrote the book it’s adapted from, but she might come after us when we start picking the movie apart.

True Detective, American Horror Story, The Grammys – Important Doings On The Tube

This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e are all back in one time-zone and I, Frankenstein is still in theaters, so it’s time to turn our attention to the other glowing rectangle in our lives…our laptop screens. Ok, the 3rd Most Important Glowing Rectangle in our lives, the television. Katey and Patches watched The Grammys and Katey wants to know if the variety of performances made it a live event worth watching, Patches wraps up his Sundance 2014 coverage under heavy questioning from David and all 4 dig into the blurring line between film storytelling and television storytelling by touching on HBOs True Detective (spoiler free!).

Oh, and that SCREEN BITES review of Sherlock Series 3 episode 2 that Da7e is on? THAT’S RIGHT HERE.

Review – I, Frankenstein Surprisingly Not Really About Frankenstein’s Monster
| 24. January, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

With electrifying guest Perri Nemiroff

While the Katey, Patches and David cats are away, the Da7e mouse plays by reviewing this year’s ridiculpus sci-fi/fantasy January release. Not since the days of Contraband has Da7e needed to bring the hammer down on a film in such a way, as it’s revealed I, Frankenstein is actually more about the design of Gargoyles and Demons more than the story of a self-actualizing monster. To help the Da7e monster self-actualize, he brought in returning guest Perri Nemiroff so he wouldn’t be shouting alone, into a void

007 – Ms. Carter Goes To PatchDance
| 21. January, 2014

EPISODE_GRAPHIC

With a Special SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL Update from Matt Patches and Jordan Hoffman!

This week, it’s a Frankenstein episode in the sense that Katey, David and Da7e assemble in chilly New York City to discuss the feminism of Beyoncé Knowles’ December album release and answer a listener voicemail about why so many film reviews choose to not be overwhelmingly negative or glaringly positive. Finally, the torso of the show has been stitched onto the legs in the form of a third segment with Matt Patches reporting from Park City Utah where he and recurring guest Jordan Hoffman have the scoop on this year’s festival so far.

Oh, and that SCREEN BITES review of Sherlock Series 3 episode 1 that Da7e mentions? THAT’S RIGHT HERE.
