016 – Cold War II Green-Lit After Director’s Previous Indie Success
| 26. March, 2014

EPISODE_GRAPHIC

Plus Bible Movies We’d See.

This week, Da7e takes a much-deserved vacation, leaving Katey, Patches, and David to worry over the government’s interference in their lives. Or maybe those are the lingering feelings left from catching up with Three Days of the Condor and Manchurian Candidate, two conspiracy thrillers reflecting Cold War and present day mentalities. After shaking their paranoia, the trio turns their attention to indie directors’ blockbuster ambitions, a discussion sparked by Darren Aronofsky’s Noah. And in a rare moment of religious positivity, a mini-segment dedicated to Bible stories that deserve an on-screen treatment. All that and a Raid 2-inspired lighting round question, in this week’s Fighting in the War Room.

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

SSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXX!

This week we’ve decided it’s finally time to share our deep feelings about fly fishing, as we review Lars von Trier’s new film Nymphomaniac (or two new films, Nyphomaniac Vol. 1 and Vol. 2., depending on who you ask). Is it a proper Socratic dialogue with a lot of big ideas on its mind? Is it remotely sexy with all that flesh on display? Is Shia LaBeouf’s British accent the crime of the century or merely intolerable? All that, plus your answers to this week’s lightning round question about movies featuring puppets.

015 – The Horrors And Whores Of Franchise Resurrection

EPISODE_GRAPHIC

Plus David’s Judgement From SXSW.

This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e are back in New York, and – BY GUM! – the Veronica Mars movie finally came out. While Da7e wears his backer T-shirt, stickers and stupid grin, everyone else wants to know what this means for Kickstarter movies and bringing television franchises back from the dead and onto another medium. Also, David reports on his experiences as a SXSW Competition Judge and we all dream cast someone in Star Wars: Episode VII.

Review – Along Time Ago We Used To Be Friends And He Used To Be Jessie Pinkman
| 14. March, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

With Special Guests Glenn Dunks and Angie Han!

The sole surviving War Room combatant, Patches ropes in Australian film critic Glenn Dunks and SlashFilm.com reporter Angie Han for this week’s double-header review episode. First, Patches and Glenn go head to head in a race to the death… or review of Aaron Paul’s new vehicular spectacle, Need for Speed. Then Angie joins Patches to talk Veronica Mars, the long-awaited, long-gestating continuation of the cult favorite detective series. Does it live up fan expectations? Will non-fans dragged to the movie by their “marshmallow” significant others survive the onslaught of nostalgia? Patches and Angie are on the case. We wrap the episode with Lighting Round Questions — and a ton of your great answers.
