Review – And God Told Noah, ‘You Shall Build a Podcast’
| 28. March, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Plus, maybe The Raid 2 isn’t the greatest fight movie of all time?

This week, Katey, Patches, and David destroy mankind with a flood of opinions on Noah, the Biblical epic from Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky. Was it a religious experience or 40 days and 40 nights of an overblown blockbuster downpour? As a bonus, Patches and David punch their way through the universal praise of The Raid 2 to figure out what it does right and wrong. All that and your answers to this week’s lighting round on movies too gory to enjoy.

Review – A Podcast In The Wall Where The Boys And Girls Can See It All (Parts 1 &2)
| 21. March, 2014

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.

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.

Review – Enemy … of Dudedom
| 8. March, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

With Special Guest Enemy Devin Faraci!

This week one of us is an actor, one of us is a college professor, we may all be spiders, and we’re reviewing Denis Villeneuve and Jake Gyllenhaal’s latest collaboration, Enemy. Badass Digest’s Devin Faraci joins us for a conversation about the moody, brain-twisting and effectively scary film, while also helping us wonder if it has anything actually interesting to say about the biggest problem facing us all: being a dude in these modern times.

Take a listen, embed and/or download below; for more from all of us: follow the show (@FITWR), Patches (@misterpatches), David (@davidehrlich or @CriterionCorner) and Katey (@KateyRich) on Twitter.

Make sure to check out out guest Devin Faraci on Twitter and at BadAss Digest!
