| 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.

This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e have heard tell the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser is going to be in a select number of theaters and are all pretty much in favor of the theatrical trailer experience. Then, inspired by Babadook, each host recommends some performances this year that probably won’t get rewards recognition. Finally, inspired by The Theory of Everything, Imitation Game and Interstellar, the group discusses using science in your movie. All that plus and Infinite Ticket lighting round question!
