REVIEW – Pixels, or whatever
| 24. July, 2015

Kevin James is an illiterate US President, just to set the mood.

There's a new Adam Sandler movie out and it's about video games. The aliens that pretend to be video games probably don't win the day, but can Pixels survive Patches, David and Katey giving it an actual critical reckoning?
 
How was LAST week's review called "Trainwreck" with this movie on the slate?

79 – Three Blind People Describe a Zebra
| 21. July, 2015

What TV shows did you give up on?

Katey, Patches and David continue their amazing pleasant conversations without Da7e around talking about Ant-Man. Katey is watching Friday Night Lights and hit the ever-difficult second season, prompting a conversation about True Detective Season 2 and when we pull the rip-cord on a series that isn't doing it for us anymore. Then – Patches got engaged! – the hosts each pick a movie that makes them think of marriage in a celebratory mini-segment. Finally: Adam Sandler: how is this still a thing? Is there anything really morally wrong with people spending money to make crappy and lazy movies that make money, or can we hate-hate-hate on it?

| 17. July, 2015

Get small and stop drinking?

All four hosts are on hand to guide you through this week's releases in the theater (it's summer, we know you're at least considering escaping to the movies). First, David, Katey and Patches throw down about Amy Schumer and Judd Apatow's Trainwreck, for real this time. Then, Da7e speaks up to transition into Ant-Man, a Marvel movie with zero Infinity Stones. Finally, David has seen the Indonesian genocide doc The Look of Silence even though you haven't yet, so he has words of high praise.

78 – Authorship is the real Trainwreck
| 14. July, 2015

And We Love Paul Rudd

Katey, Patches and David soldier on and podcast as Da7e got small and was absent this week. That may have something to do with this week's two film releases, Marvel's Ant-Man and Trainwreck, both discussed on this podcast via our love for Paul Rudd and how we view authorship in a movie like Trainwreck. There's also a mini-segment about Takashi Murakami's Jellyfish Eyes and if you don't know what that is, you will after this episode.
