Another week, another episode. We dive head first into another installment of everyone’s favorite zombie drama with Episode 11 – Claimed. We don’t know about you folks but things are starting to look awfully familiar, and not in a good way. Season 2 flashbacks anyone? We discuss this, our love of the cinematography this season and how awesome old wooden houses muffle noise. Join us won’t you? And don’t forget to drop us a line at [email protected] and follow us on twitter @BingeMedia.

I swear to you, it’s this big.

Jim Law made me screencap this and put it in the article.  By made me, I mean, I screencapped this as we were watching it.  While the seventh episode of Banshee provided the above shot of Lily Simmons glorious heiny, it was a pretty mediocre episode.  Although we find out that the Sheriff’s headquarters has a room that’s designated as the interrogation room, gun range, gym, cafeteria, and general hang out place.

We battle the mediocrity by creating dialogue that far surpasses anything written on the show.  Not really.  We’ve also made it a rule to never mention any character by their name (except for Proctor, Job, Sugar, and some others), so the role call of the cast is:

Sheriff Not Hood

Deputy Black Guy

Deputy Bald Guy

Deputy Fish Bowl Face

Mayor Guy

Chief Moreno

Other Moreno

Giant Moreno

Bow Tie

Whore

Did I miss any?

Ammon and Moreno pick up Jim Law’s slack this week, as he’s out getting hammered and eventually passing out at 9pm for his 47th birthday.  He’s old.

We kick things off by discussing THIS article, in which an Entertainment Weekly writer posits a list of spoiler rules.  We mostly agree with it.

After that, we tackle a few Google voicemails in which Ammon bats a sweet .750 on the transcriptions.  Make sure to call 708-406-9546 if you want to leave us a voicemail, have Google Voice translate it horribly, then have Ammon translate Google Voice properly.  I know, it’s a lot to take in.

A quick trip through TV Round Up and a review of the book Gone Girl (BUY IT HERE!), we talk about what we watched this week.  Ammon checks out Battle of the Damned, James Wan’s Death Sentence, Dead Man and Axe Giant: The Wrath of Paul Bunyon.  Moreno revisits O Brother Where Art Thou again, and the disappointing and awful The Counselor.

Sounders galore!

Happy Birfday Law!

The Binge audience spoke up, and Binge Cast answered!  This week’s Movie Homework “The Burbs” was suggested by many of you and we grabbed our notebooks, a pint of Maker’s Mark and reveled in  Joe Dante’s 1980’s classic.  Well, classic to some.  Law and I have a difference of opinion on the movie going in, but wind up agreeing on its staying power in this rewatch.  Is it as great as it was in the 80s?  Is Corey Feldman as cool as we thought he was?  Will Law fart?

We also look at where this lies in Tom Hanks career trajectory, who would be cast in the remake (answer: Bruce Dern) and why we thought Robert Blake was a Klopeks.

Fucking Kupka and Jack are back with a good ol’ fashioned commentary for Season 4 Episode 10 of The Walking Dead. We seem to have more questions then answers these days, and well, we don’t like it. Questions like, why is Tyrese playing Full House without Joey and Jesse, Why does Maggie think she’s Lara Croft? And when did Glenn become a powerhouse Hall of Fame Fullback? What kind of growth hormone have they been feeding Judith? Listen in as we try to answer these questions and more.

Remember last week when Banshee threw everybody a curve ball and showed a more mature, tender side of the coin with Not Hood and Not Carrie?  They talked about where’d they been, where they are now and where they want to go?  Then it all came crashing down?

Well this episode gets back on course by amping up the fighty-fighty and the titty-titty (IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN).  The episode features one of the best kills to date, ends one storyline while throwing a WTF moment into the main storyline.  Also, Proctor likes to get blown a lot.

Moreno and Law have lots to deal with in the new BingeCast. Ammon is away but still calls in to review HER (pre-order it now!) and gets the Google Voice transcription treatment. There’s lots of other voicemails too, including the creepiest one we’ve ever gotten. Keep ’em coming!

TV Round-Up allows the boys to worship last week’s episode of True Detectives and hate on the return of Emo Carl in The Walking Dead. Banshee, Banshee, Banshee.

Then it’s time to announce the participants in the inaugural Hottie Draft. We give the names of every person that made the cut, now it’s up to you – have your list of ladies in by March 10th so we can hold the draft and get the league started on time.

Both boys watch the OLDBOY (BUY IT HERE!) remake and come away disappointed. Moreno also checks out the original and gives a detailed look at what things should have remained the same and what things just simply failed. Do yourself a favor and buy the original OLDBOY right here.  Then they both watch KNIGHTS OF BADASSDOM (BUY IT HERE!) and, once again, walk away wishing there was more.

Stay tuned for our Banshee and Walking Dead commentaries later this week.

Fucking Kupka and I are dubbing this episode of the Binge Music Cast, “The Half Album Episode”.  While listening to 305 albums over the last few weeks, we’ve determined that most of them are just half ok.  We really want to love it, but we’re looking for love in all the wrong places.  What?  Shut up.

Artists featured this week:

Blank Realm

Gramatik

Against Me!

Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks

Young the Giant

Episode 5 of Banshee was a different type of show than we’ve seen to date.  By different, we don’t mean bad.  In fact, it’s probably one of the better episodes of the entire series.  It focused on the two principal characters who more or less kicked this whole strange journey off and now we get a real insight into to what this relationship was, where it is now and where it’s going to go.  It’s deeply emotional and perfect.  The house really should have been spray painted with “ABANDON HOPE YE WHO ALL ENTER HERE.“
