REVIEW – Foxcatcher
| 14. November, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Plus Dumb and Dumber To and Beyond The Lights  

This week, Patches, Katey and David head to the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seuol to wrestle with Foxcatcher, the latest drama from Moneyball and Capote director Bennett Miller. A grueling match for some, a blood-pumping challenge for others, Foxcatcher arrives to prestige season as one of the year’s most polarizing films. We’ll also touch on Dumb and Dumber To and Beyond the Lights, to movies that exceeded expectations. All that, plus your answers to this week’s lighting round question about actors showing their dark side, on this week’s FITWR Review.

REVIEW – Interstellar
| 8. November, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

And Big Hero 6 is mentioned. 

This week, David, Patches, and Katey blast off on a three-year mission to the furthest reaches of our universe, where space-time becomes so warped, that even a heady, composed blockbuster like Interstellar can come into existence. We’ll talk about the latest from Christopher Nolan in non-spoiler and spoiler-heavy sections, so if you’re looking to see the movie pure, come back later! We’ll also field your lighting round question answers on which actor you want to go to space with (plus a brief mention of Big Hero 6). It’ll be kooky.

REVIEW – Nightcrawlin’ for Nightcrawler
| 31. October, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

With Returning Guest Jordan Hoffman!

This week The Guardian and New York Daily News film critic Jordan Hoffman joins David and Patches for a ride into the underbelly of movie podcasting. It’s not as glittery as it looks. Sometimes you’re ambulance chasing the latest DOA blockbusters. Sometimes you’re looking to get off on the sweet, sweet high of a great film. And then there’s Nightcrawler from writer-director Dan Gilroy, a movie that sends the trio for an all-night ride into the mouth of hell. Happy Halloween!

REVIEW – The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance (or Our Birdman Review)
| 24. October, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Plus John Wick, The Heart Machine and CITIZENFOUR

This week, Patches and David wander in one continuous take around the animated, existentially empowered Birdman. The new comedy from 21 Grams and Biutiful director Alejandro González Iñárritu has a lot on its mind — or does it? — and the Fighting in the War Room guys suit up in this action packed sequel to last week’s episode. Coming next week: Birdman 4 (we’re skipping 3). It’s that and mentions on John Wick, The Heart Machine, and Citizenfour on this week’s review episode.
