| 8. March, 2016

The other thing is Venom.

This week, Patches and David kick things off with a review of Terrence Malik’s newest, Knight of Cups, because there wasn’t a review episode last Friday (Patches was stuck on a train). Then, Katey asks Da7e what’s up with Sony annoucing that they’ve rebooted the solo Venom movie, because she’s pretty sure Deadpool is involved. Then, most everyone is caught up on American Crime Story: The People Vs. OJ Simpson, except David who refuses to watch it, so the other hosts tell him why he’s wrong for Segment 3.

STAR WARS SPECIAL – Episode 5: Eels, Scarabs and Space Bears, Oh My
| 26. February, 2016

Episode VIII has begun.

The Fighting In The War Room podcast family acknowledges that Star Wars Mania is here to stay now that Disney-purchased Lucasfilm plans to spin the saga and anthology movies out into the foreseeable future. It’s time to fight in the galactic war room for the foreseeable future! We’ll never see STAR PEACE.

In the fifth Star Wars Special, Joanna Robinson, Matt Patches, Neil Miller and Da7e catch up on the Star Wars Universe news since they last convened in Episode 4. New York Toy Fair 2016 came and went without a bunch of Star Wars To-Do, but we did get a Force Friday 2016 announcement and a giant 16″ BB-8 that has Da7e excited. The Lego Star Wars Universe is expanding with both Resistance Rises shorts and a new Disney XD TV series, StarWars.com gave away the secrets of Rey’s portion bread and OH YEAH, EPISODE VIII: SPACE BEAR STARTED SHOOTING! Laura Dern, Benicio Del Toro and Kelly Marie Tran are added to the cast. We speculate on what that can be (SPECULATE, Episode VIII info is sparse) before jumping into the SPOILER section, which is choc-full of Rogue One goodness.

I find your lack of SPOILER faith disturbing! – Spoiler discussion starts at 45:39

108 – Do horror movies have to be really scary?
| 23. February, 2016

Plus The Mermaid and a segment called “Alex Proyas: Good Director?”

Katey has disappeared to prepare for Oscar coverage, so Da7e, Patches and David strike up another Brocast. First, With Gods of Egypt coming to theaters this week, Patches wants to ask: “Alex Proyas: good director?” Then, David catches Patches and Da7e up on China’s newest theatrical sensation The Mermaid. Finally, the trio talk about some of the backlash recently against The Witch (which we discussed last episode) and debate the semantics of “scary” when it comes to horror film.
