Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome back to another incredible episode of ATGB! We are kicking off our Halloween movie month with Nicolas Roeg's 1974 classic Don't Look Now.

In the pre-roll, Troy struggles with words as identifiers and tries to correct this heinous crime against the English language by bringing home our sponsor.

Next, Troy is joined by Zachary Ratchford to discuss this disorienting and haunting film about grief, loss, and paranoia. Topics discussed include the bridging of film as both entertainment and art, the film's most crucial scenes and motifs, and we round it all out with a box office game that is sure to make you think, "These people know nothing." Whether you question the reasonings behind why a frozen lake is flat if the Earth is round, or simply don't prescribe to believing in anything at all, you can be certain that on this episode nothing is what it seems.

Ahoy hoy and #oldtimers and welcome back to ATGB! This week we have a heavy hitter, because it's time to explore Soviet Cinema in the 50's with The Cranes Are Flying!

In the preroll, Troy shares his love of fall cable television and makes sure to cover all foundations in the Chattanooga art scene by providing a joke to highlight and accentuate the Chattanooga Comedy Scene, all while giving our sponsor a glorious sendoff as we begin our filmic journey.

Next, Troy flies high with The Cranes Are Flying. Topics explored include the new smash hit musical coming out *today* Dear Evan Hansen, an embellishment of Soviet Cinema love and history, and how the director utilizes both techniques of content and form to highlight this masterfully shot and edited film. Film starts at 9:24!

If you are so inclined, here are some shots of the movie. I saw just one clip from the film myself and it made me want to watch it instantly. I hope it does the same for you <3

Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome back to this week’s episode of ATGB! That's right, I'm thinking we're back! This week we wrestle this 1970 bear of a film entitled Hercules in New York! In the preroll, Troy give dubious advice on being prompt and doing things when they should be done the second you can get it done! Like listening to this episode!

After that, Troy is joined by David Durant of Durant Cinema to talk about Hercules in New York. These two friends chitchat about physical media, the declination of the formidable action star, and all the hard work that goes into creating your own content. 

Later, Dave and Troy dive head first into Hercules in New York! We talk about Arnold’s first film and screen presence, yoke it up about the film‘s wild progression(s), and end it all with a passionate tip of the cap to the people who inspire us. It’s got friendship, it’s got Arnold, it’s got it all on this week’s episode of ATGB!

Ahoy hoy and welcome back #oldtimers to ATGB! This week's film of choice comes from the heart, as we are putting Million Dollar Baby on the ropes and examining this 2004 Best Picture winner.

In the preroll, Troy explains his pre-podcasting process and gives Tinashe her flowers by talking about how much she contributes to the podcast itself.

Then Troy solo commentates on this 2004 juggernaut of a film. We examine the career of Clint Eastwood himself, talk boxing film favorites, and ultimately analyze how the film is designed as a boxing match...and we are the ones who get KO'd. It's the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you, so take a chance on a dreamer and step in the ring of this week's podcast.

* I incorrectly attribute Clint Eastwood's new film Cry Macho as his swan song...I thought that was the case but I don't think it is so sorry for being an ageist Clint. Keep making movies and don't let young folks like me tell you otherwise. I also claim with 100% certainty that a Jeff Bridges boxing film is called Fat Night, but it's called Fat City. Sorry Jeff. For these and all my sins, I am truly sorry. *

Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome back to ATGB! It's time to get up off of that thang, and get ready to indulge in happy days because this week we are back in the habit to talk all about 1993's Sister Act 2!

In the preroll, Troy composes a love letter to Scenic Trend by way of rap and comes to understand that sometimes you just need to chill, breathe, and enjoy the moment. 

Shortly after, Troy is joined by multipotentialite Emily Quinn to discuss one of the most joyful films ever created. We talk all about our Sister Act 2 origins, community involvement, and pinpoint why films have the power to shift and change culture over time. By the way, what you have done for Him lately?

Ahoy hoy and welcome back #oldtimers to ATGB! This week we go all the way back to 1921, almost 100 years to the day, to talk about Lois Weber’s silent classic The Blot. 

In the preroll, Troy is joined by the indomitable Demi Lovato to talk about Scenic Trend and to share their love of Camp Rock and the advocacy of artistic creation!

After, Troy takes the solo approach and commentates on The Blot. This train wreck of an episode takes Troy on all kinds of tangents, including the history of Americas’s first female writer, producer, and director, the upcoming adaption of Dune, and takes a call in the middle of the episode. Whether you say that it is a blot on the present day civilization that we expect to engage the finest mental equipment for a less wage than we pay the commonest labor, or simply don’t understand anything that goes on ever, this is the episode for you!

Movie starts at 17:42, and you can watch along on using this link https://tubitv.com/movies/612845/the-blot?start=true

Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and welcome back to As Time Goes By!

This week is a real festival of fun as the newly appointed #boyzoffall dive into 2016's The Lobster. In our pre-roll,  Troy talks all about his beautiful cat Penny, and gives dubious food advice for those wishing to make their dinner a Lobster themed night for one (or two) while battling misinformation information when it comes to the classification of fish. 

Later, these boys talk all about the painfully romantic but often hilarious The Lobster. We discuss a bevy of hot topics like celebrity McDonald's meal deals, Yorgos Lanthimos, and decide which animals we ourselves would choose. Whether you wear glasses, contact lenses, or nothing at all, there is much to behold on this week's episode of the pod.

Ahoy hoy #oldtimers and happy Friday the 13th! This week is a bonanza, cause we’re talking 1950’s Gun Crazy! Troy takes the Jason Derulo approach and rides solo on the commentary. A lot happens in this one, including a confrontation of the self in the pre-roll, as well as some spoken word to congratulate the fine folks of Scenic Trend for all their hard work. 

After that, Troy talks about femme fatales, whether he is gun crazy or not, and dives into this film’s rich history. Whether you almost a killed a man before for aiming too low, you’re always going to be right on target on this week’s episode of ATGB!

*There is a part in this episode where I incorrectly attribute the screenwriter for "The Best Years of Our Lives" as MacKinlay Kantor and not Robert E. Sherwood. Kantor wrote the novel. I'm sure there are other discrepancies, but we're not going for accuracy here. It's about the vibes baby.*  

Ahoy hoy! Halloween comes early this year as we are back to talk about 2016’s disgustingly vile and horrific Terrifier. Troy is joined by Jimmy Stewart to do the preroll, and is also joined by horror expert and enthusiast Heather Rigby to talk about first scary movie experiences, franchise vs independent projects, and go through the film by dissecting each victim’s death. Puncutality is the thief of time dear, so what better time to check out this intriguing discussion.

After that, we award accolades and guess the box office. We’ve got a scary clown. We’ve got friendship. We’ve got it all and more on this week’s episode of the pod.

Ahoy hoy! We are back this week to commentate on Judas and the Black Messiah. In this episode Troy beaks down the harmonious performances of the three main roles, talks with Vin Diesel about the power of family, and aims to get revenge on those who borrow his movies without getting them back.

This episode deals with topics of systematic and domestic racism as well as political ideations, so some links have been provided for further exploration. Ain’t you high? I’m high!
