72 – Disaster Movies Kill Our Future
And we round up Cannes so you don’t have to
This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David want to take Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland bait and wonder if liking disaster cinema is feeding into a gross human part of all of us that is cynical and dying. Granted, that’s not what all four hosts believe…let’s just say someone should be ready for the zombie apocalypse. Also: Patches says that The Phantom Menace is a better movie than Return of the Jedi and in certain circles, dem’s fightin’ words. Finally: Katey, Da7e and Patches each mention one Cannes film they’re interested in and David talks about a good half dozen.

STORM OF SPOILERS – What did you think the sugar was for?
Storm of Spoilers | | 21. May, 2015
A GAME OF THRONES PODCAST FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TALK ABOUT SPOILERS
With Joanna Robinson from Vanity Fair, Dave Gonzales from Geek.com and Neil Miller from Film School Rejects!
If you’re looking for spoiler-free dissection of the highest caliber, you’re looking for A CAST OF KINGS (click there)
This podcast includes some deep sighs and acknowledgement of what happened on the TV last Sunday.
This week, Neil, Joanna and Da7e are pretty much in agreement that they’ve witnessed some serious errors in Game of Thrones storytelling. From the geography of Dorne being as unclear as Littlefinger’s overall plan to the sad limitations of real life production leading to another disappointing outing for the Sand Snakes. Also, the show doesn’t stick the landing and all our worst Sansa fears became true in a very clumsy way.
That doesn’t mean this week is without it’s bright spots of crackpotitude and literature-based extrapolation!
Neil makes several attempts to return to the Crazytown Citadel we built last week, Da7e becomes obsessed with a giant mockingbird and pairs off Lady Olenna with the High Sparrow (sexually), and Joanna introduces us all to a Twitter account called @catelynshead

71 – Mad Men in Review
And our favorite Mad Men quotes
Audio Note: This week Katey had to phone it in, but does NOT phone it in. If you get our drift.
This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David say goodbye to AMC’s Mad Men, a show we’ve spent almost a decade watching, writing about and thinking about. Which host cried during the Finale? What’s everyone’s favorite quote and why is Patches so into defending Betty as a character. If you haven’t caught up with Mad Men through the series finale “Person to Person,” you’re a bit S.O.L. on this one. But we’d like to buy you a Coke and keep you company regardless.
