REVIEW_GRAPHIC

RRRRRAAAAAARRRRRNNNNGHHHH!

This week, Katey, David, and Patches awake from hibernation to attack the latest reboot of the Godzilla franchise. After the blunder of Roland Emmerich’s 1998 Godzilla, is there any way to breath atomic life back into this 60 year old character? Monsters director Gareth Edwards answers that question with his leap into mega-budgeted summer blockbuster territory — and our trio is ready to rumble. That, a lightning round on the TV actor or actress you want to see bump up to movie stardom, and more on this week’s Fighting in the War Room review.

022 – We Don’t Know About You, But We’re Feeling Disaster Blockbusters In Our Dark Souls
Episodes»Legacy»Volume 1 | | 13. May, 2014

EPISODE_GRAPHIC2

The human level of blockbusters and video games.

This week, no one played Reigns of Catsamere at Katey’s wedding, so she’s back in the hot seat, Da7e’s hot-seat, since that guy isn’t around. David probes Dark Souls the video game along with his own dark soul to discover what – if anything – the co-op system has in common with movies. The group picks their favorite post-Jurassic Park summer movies before delving into a conversation on whether summer blockbusters really need characters. Do half-baked pawns stand in the way of true spectacle?

REVIEW – Doppelgänging Up On The Double

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Plus some thoughts on Chef and Palo Alto!

This week, David and Patches confront their doppelgängers in a review of Submarine director Richard Ayoade’s follow up feature, The Double. Is it a mirror image of influences or stylish serving of Russian lit-inspired noir? Along with the main review, the guys touch on Jon Favreau’s Chef and Palo Alto, the debut of Francis Ford’s grandaughter, Gia Coppola. No lightning round question this week, but the keep the conversation going on these films and more in the comments.
