REVIEW – Wild
| 13. December, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Plus Top Five!

This week, Katey and Patches embark on a spirit journey to reach higher understanding of Wild, the latest film from Dallas Buyers Club director Jean-Marc Vallée. Starring Reese Witherspoon as memoirist Cheryl Strayed, whose real hike across the Pacific Crest Trail is chronicled in an Oscar-friendly new biopic. Is the movie worth the trek or does it trip up along the way? That and thoughts on Chris Rock’s Top Five on this week’s FITWR review episode.

REVIEW – The Imitation Game
| 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.

REVIEW – Foxcatcher
| 14. November, 2014

REVIEW_GRAPHIC

Plus Dumb and Dumber To and Beyond The Lights  

This week, Patches, Katey and David head to the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seuol to wrestle with Foxcatcher, the latest drama from Moneyball and Capote director Bennett Miller. A grueling match for some, a blood-pumping challenge for others, Foxcatcher arrives to prestige season as one of the year’s most polarizing films. We’ll also touch on Dumb and Dumber To and Beyond the Lights, to movies that exceeded expectations. All that, plus your answers to this week’s lighting round question about actors showing their dark side, on this week’s FITWR Review.
