| 29. January, 2015

sundance-618x400

With returning guest Jordan Hoffman!

This week, Kate and Da7e stay in the War Room to talk about what interests them. Katey avoided a massive blizzard and watched the SAG Awards and Dave is reading a book that compares and contrasts Universal Theme Parks against Disney Theme Parks. It’s an alternate theater discussion and we also wonder if it’s time to end live award shows. THEN – the main event! David and Patches have been at Sundance with The Guardian‘s Jordan Hoffman and bring us a lengthy and detailed report!

REVIEW – The Interview – because America.
| 18. December, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

With Returning Guest Jordan Hoffman!

This week, Katey, Patches, David, and The Guardian’s Jordan Hoffman defy North Korea and the bigwigs at Sony by reviewing The Interview, a movie that will never see the light of day. Drowned in controversy over its depiction of Kim Jong-un, Sony buried the latest from Seth Rogen and This Is the End co-director Evan Goldberg after hacker terrorists threatened to attack theaters showing the picture. Which is too bad… because the movie is pretty damn funny. Hoping that one day, listeners will be able to this lowbrow-highbrow gem, the FITWR crew decided a review was still in order. A brief mention of Sony truly offensive holiday offering, Annie, and answers to this week’s lightning round question rounds out this week’s review episode.

REVIEW – Nightcrawlin’ for Nightcrawler
| 31. October, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

With Returning Guest Jordan Hoffman!

This week The Guardian and New York Daily News film critic Jordan Hoffman joins David and Patches for a ride into the underbelly of movie podcasting. It’s not as glittery as it looks. Sometimes you’re ambulance chasing the latest DOA blockbusters. Sometimes you’re looking to get off on the sweet, sweet high of a great film. And then there’s Nightcrawler from writer-director Dan Gilroy, a movie that sends the trio for an all-night ride into the mouth of hell. Happy Halloween!

Review – Vacancy At The Grand Budapest Manger
| 28. February, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel and God’s Son of God!

This week we travel to the East, from Europe’s Republic of Zubrowka to the promised land of Jerusalem. First, Katey, Patches, and David give an early view of Wes Anderson’s Grand Budapest Hotel, a film that might rank among the director’s best. Then FITWR-regular Jordan Hoffman prays movie-going audiences will avoid Son of God, an adaptation of History Channel’s Bible mini-series that chronicles the life of the the late Jesus F. Christ. Plus, we hijack your lighting round answers on film’s best hijackings.
