REVIEW – Wild
| 13. December, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Plus Top Five!

This week, Katey and Patches embark on a spirit journey to reach higher understanding of Wild, the latest film from Dallas Buyers Club director Jean-Marc Vallée. Starring Reese Witherspoon as memoirist Cheryl Strayed, whose real hike across the Pacific Crest Trail is chronicled in an Oscar-friendly new biopic. Is the movie worth the trek or does it trip up along the way? That and thoughts on Chris Rock’s Top Five on this week’s FITWR review episode.

51 – JuxtaposEpisode: Exodus and The Best of 2014’s Not-Movies
| 9. December, 2014

EPISODE_GRAPHIC

Plus 2014 Gift Guide!

This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e are back with some 2014 clean-up activities. First, Patches wants to know what media or narrative experience from 2014 we’d put on our Top Ten lists if we weren’t so strict about the “only movies” rule. Then, each host takes on a good idea for a gift this holiday season in this week’s mini segment. Finally, It’s time to talk Exodus: Gods and Kings. Patches and David have seen Ridley Scott’s latest and it’s bad enough that they drag Katey and Da7e into a conversation about it. That plus 2014’s star-struck throwaway roles!

FITWR-STAR-WARS

Each Host Brings A Film On Their Mindset

This week, we’re changing up the format for our 50th Episode Quarter Quell Special! It’s been a long time podcasting for Katey, Da7e, David and Patches, so each host brought a film that timestamps something about their mindset right now. Newly married Katey sees marriage in Neighbors, Da7e brings Raiders of the Lost Ark as a metaphor for his move to Colorado, David’s turned 30 and chooses 13 Going on 30 and Patches ends the podcast on <sarcasm> a lighter note </sarcasm> by contemplating mortality with Synecdoche NY.

REVIEW – The Imitation Game
| 29. November, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

And fear Babadook!

This week, David, Katey, and Patches work tirelessly to create their own Christopher Machine, a proto-computer capable of cracking the code within the new biopic The Imitation Game. Benedict Cumberbatch stars as scientist Alan Turing in this WWII-themed espionage drama, but does his gravitas bring enough life to the straightforward biopicisms? Find out that, plus chatter on The Babadook, the most terrifying horror movie in quite some time, on this week’s review episode.
