What happened to 2015's superhero bomb?

In a special review episode, Da7e and Patches convene to discuss the absolute mess that is 20th Century Fox's newest take on The Fantastic Four. Both agree the movie isn't good, but Da7e attempts to talk his way through what happened while Patches gauges just how much fun – if any – is truly had.

81 – Wet Hot Thriller Podcast About Feeling Powerless With Consumerism
| 5. August, 2015

WHAS_01_00699r

The one with the long Jimmy Stewart impression at the top

Katey, Patches and Da7e ride without a David this week and on Da7e's actual birthday so everyone is a bit nicer to him and his topics. First, Da7e thought he was going to see Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation this weekend, but couldn't bring himself to support Tom Cruise and Scientology. Then, The Gift comes out this weekend and seems to be a fun twist-based thriller. Since no one on the podcast had seen it, we instead talk about Blumhouse Productions other thirller, Creep, which is on Netflix. Finally, Wet Hot American Summer: first Day of Camp is out and Da7e thinks it might be the most perfect Netflix revival possible. All that plus a lightning rougd question that hasn't passed judgement on Fantastic Four just yet!

| 1. August, 2015

Mission-Impossible-Rogue-Nation

This podcast will self destruct in 42 minutes and 15 seconds

This week, Patches, Katey, and David accept the impossible mission of reviewing Tom Cruise's fifth Mission: Impossible installment, Rogue Nation. Was it a rabbit's foot or is it desperate need of a face (mask) lift? Then, Katey and David head off for Wally World with a brief review of the Vacation review. Then, answers to a lightning round question that's too hard to explain.

80 – What is a spy movie? No, really, we might not know
| 28. July, 2015

Plus: Is that David Foster Wallace movie a travesty?

Katey, Patches and Da7e and David are back to talk about how authors and famous people an how they are portrayed in film. First, everyone but Da7e has seen the David Foster Wallace book-tour movie The End of the Tour and debates what this movie is about and if that makes it worth watching. Then, Patches wants to know if someone being famous is reason enough to document them, which ends up unveiling the groups true feelings about the documentary format. Finally, for Segment 3, we all think we know what a spy movie is, but it turns out, we don't.
