Review – Pill-Poppin’ ‘nd Truth-Tellin’ With August Osage County
| 10. January, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Though this movie and this episode are family affairs, this podcast has no A-List casting. But – Bonus! – also no mouth cancer.

If you thought Fighting in the War room was a raucous maelstrom of razor-sharp opinions, wait until you meet the family from August: Osage County. At least, that’s what the filmmakers and performers behind August: Osage County would like you to think (we might still be the crazier bunch).
This week, Katey, Patches, and David assemble around the  dinner table to throw down over the adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Can it be enjoyed as an expensive game of dress-up or do we have to care about these characters at some point? Will Katey eat her fucking fish? Find out as we review August: Osage County.

005 – It’s A Bird? It’s A Plane? It’s DEFINITELY Riffing On Goodfellas
| 7. January, 2014

EPISODE_GRAPHIC

Superman, Making Your Own Short Film and Comparing Movies That Are Linked Thematically or by Release Date.

This week, Da7e, David, Patches and Katey are back with the first FITWR of 2014. Da7e and Patches both read Glen Weldon’s Superman: The Unauthorized Biography and learned a ton of facts about The Man of Steel (though not the movie, Man of Steel). But what’s the book’s greater purpose and would you enjoy it? Our FAVORITE listener voicemail EVER finds us giving advice on making a short film, then spend a justifiably long (and spoiler light, if not spoiler free) time discussing the validity of comparing American Hustle and Wolf of Wall Street so closely.

REVIEW – Supercalifragilalcoholism With Saving Mr. Banks
| 27. December, 2013

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Plus: a bonus rant from David about how the Keanu Reeves vehicle 47 Ronin is the second-worst thing to happen to Japan this decade.

Who better to make an film that takes an honest look at a tricky period in the history of Walt Disney and the studio he founded? Why, Walt Disney Pictures, of course! Except that Saving Mr. Banks actually glosses over a ton of issues in the adaptation of Mary Poppins, and does wrong by Emma Thompson in the process. Listen as Katey, David, and Patches tear into everything that drove them crazy about this supposedly feel-good holiday offering from the house that Mickey built.
