39 – M-O-O-N: That Spells TIFF 2014
| 9. September, 2014

EPISODE_GRAPHIC

Randall Canadian Flagg

This week, Patches and David have decamped to the Toronto International Film Festival and bring us a Segment 3 report through droopy, tired eyes. Back in the War Room, Katey, Joanna and Da7e discuss Katey’s revisiting Stephen King’s The Stand and it’s troubled road to a film adaptation. Also, each of the three picks a young actor they wish would get to show more range. All that plus a pitiful Lighting Round question.

Plus David Ehrlich’s Summer Trivia Corner

This week, David, Patches, Joanna and a returning Da7e have got that summertime sadness, oh-whoa-ho-ho-ho. Starting things off with a Lighting Round question about anticipated fall films, it’s a step back into the “worst summer since 1997” for the American Box Office. Are things really that bad? Then, David’s in charge of a summer movie trivia mini-segment before we make a Johnny Gossamer connection between Pascale Ferran’s Bird People and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. It’s subtle special effects and they’re a tool worth mentioning.

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Plus Starred Up

This week, Katey, David, Patches, and Joanna head down to indie territory to review two movies that divided: Starred Up, the prison drama starring up-and-comer Jack O’Connell and God Help the Girl, a whimsical musical from Belle & Sebastian frontman Stuart Murdoch. What do these movies get right and wrong about youth? That and your answers to this week’s lightning round on 20-year-old movies that need the IMAX treatment, on this week’s review episode.

Find Your Not-So-Fantastic Beasts Here.

This week, David, Patches, Katey and Joanna kick things off by anticipating Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, the fictional textbook from the Harry Potter series that is going to be spun off into it’s own movie…at least one more movie. Then, Joanna queries the hosts on what they’ve discovered during FXX’s Every. Simpsons. Ever. marathon that devolves into a discussion of Simpsons music. Finally, all hail Chris Pratt? With The Lego Movie and Guardians of the Galaxy running away with all the money, it’s time to PrattPrattPratt.
