Josh Black stepped forth to commission the mind blowing 2008 film, Pontypool. Starring the very underrated Stephen McHattie, and directed by veteran cult filmmaker Bruce McDonald, Pontypool is set in a small Canadian town where a humbled former shock jock takes on the job of talking about the sleepy local news in the wee hours of the morning. And then something big happens. I really can't tell you more without spoiling a great film that should be seen by a lot of people, and right now you can see it streaming from among other places, Netflix, so I encourage you to give it a whirl before listening to this podcast. Things get crazy and "deep" in the way things sometimes do on these podcasts. Do not translate this message.

This week's First Run Bald Movie is Snowden, an Oliver Stone movie about famous/infamous NSA whistleblower/traitor/hero Edward Snowden. We don't think this is the movie that will change anyone's minds about the matter, but we do think the topic of privacy, if not Snowden himself, is vital for discussion, and the film is a food springboard for just that. But, does any of this even matter, will any of it make a difference? Enjoy our spoiler free review on us, or join Club Bald Move for a more in depth, wide ranging, and somber discussion of freedom, liberty, and privacy.

Jim and A.Ron tackle yet another community podcast commission, this time for the David Lynch movie, "Mulholland Drive". Things get weird as we experience every human emotion possible and struggle to figure out what the hell just happened. Just know that this podcast is not meant to be interpreted literally, but to be emotionally intuited experientially.

Special thanks to the crew who combined their wallets, Captain Planet style, and summoned this podcast; Anthony B, Mike T, Davey Mac, Ryan Q, Rachael H, galicia73, Fidoz,

Jefferson B, hellogoodbye9, cocoa2mc, Martin K , Michael T, Joby M, and Walker W. Thanks guys and gals, we couldn't do it without you!

Special thanks to Ruben from Boston who selected the 1993 Joel Schumacher drama/thriller/anger-porno "Falling Down" as the subject of this podcast. And it got us thinking a lot about where we were when we first saw this movie, and where we're at now, how this film fits into the pantheon of well made, highly regarded films, how it's aged, and what its meanings are. Plus, we do a bonus retrospective of the strange career of wild excess that is Joel Schumacher.

It's rare that a disaster movie comes out that isn't completely over wrought, or sensationalized, much less one that is wholly positive and uplifting, but Sully, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks at his Tom Hanksiest, is just such a movie. Even our podcast's automatic pilot system, Jim Jones, was occasionally moved by the gritty depiction of everyday heroism that can not only save 155 souls, but unite a country in a sense of admiration, gratitude, and good will. Plus, we talk crap about new trailers and the unruly elderly audience we enjoyed this film with. Enjoy our spoiler-free review of the movie and trailers, and if you're a Club Bald Move Member, our complete spoiler filled coverage.
