This week – Oh YEAH (Oh Yeah (oh yeah (ohyeah))) it’s an all dude ‘cast as Patches, Da7e and David are down a Katey. It’s appropriate that this is also the week an Entourage movie comes out, so these three guys talk about why the series seems mostly hated this time around. Then, in a segment inspired by Patches’ dinner small talk, each host has to cast the FITWR line-up as Game of Thrones characters (surprisingly no one is Hodor). Finally, David wonders if wanting to see your political ideals reflected onscreen sometimes hurts cinema by throwing the baby out with the nitpicky bathwater.

This podcast includes some occasional cussing, but no more than usual. It covers SEASON 5 EPISODE 7 “The Gift.”
This week, all our hosts dream that they are old and have all the time in the world to discuss Game of Thrones. We can’t get through a single scene without having some questions about execution or some speculation about how this contributes to the end of the season. Casting for Season 6 of the show has begun and we might put a little too much stock on what IMDB says about the tenth episode of the season. Da7e gets a quick geography lesson, Neil convinces everyone he knows better about the Dorne plotline and we all wonder if we’ve seen the last of Benjen Stark.

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.
