Cinema Is Life

Neal and Gilly start us off this week with a little pro wrasslin talk while we stall for Justin to show up. We then dive in on the week that was and will be for NFL and college football. It was a tough week for some college powerhouses (LSU, Notre Dame) while some unlikely NFL teams are enjoying tremendous success (Eagles, Vikings). We take an early look at the UFC's Madison Square Garden card, headlined by Conor McGregor and Eddie Alvarez. Justin gives us the low down on The Magnificent Seven and details a bonkers new film called Free Fire.

We've got a boatload of football talk this week from both the NFL and college games. The UFC has a showcase event this weekend for Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino, but her biggest fight will be against the scale. Also, reviews of Blair Witch and Snowden from our resident Film junkie, Justin.

In this week's episode, we somehow wind up in a heated debate about the notion of a "team of destiny" being a real thing. What side of the argument do you you take? It's a full slate of football talk, followed by a recap of UFC 203 and a rundown of the current films du jour.

The NFL season begins and we're here to give our picks of just who will come out on top. Sure, it's way too early to get a clear picture. But who knows? One of us may hit the nail on the head and look like a genius or a wizard. Neal and Chris run down UFC 203, which features the long-awaited debut of CM Punk and a pair of top level heavyweight fights. Justin and Jeff banter on some recent films they've seen, including some early Oscar fodder.

Justin is here to continue what Jeff and Neal started. We give the full "F Words" experience talking football, fights and films. Justin gives his pigskin picks and Neal talks UFC news. We finish off with plenty of film talk from Gene Wilder to the Ocean's Eleven reboot and more.

Neal and Jeff celebrate the official start to the college football season. We pick our eventual National Championship Playoff participants and give our impressions of the upcoming games. This is a football-only episode.

We're back after a short break for Chris's wedding. This week, Neal, Jeff, Justin and Gilly discuss the upcoming start to the college and NFL football seasons. We give our impressions of the instant classic that was McGregor/Diaz II. SummerSlam gets some airtime. And Justin brings four new movie reviews to the table. It's a packed show; strap in and enjoy the ride.

The Olympics are here and the athletes are going down left and right! #PhelpsFace is the new hotness. Mixed martial arts now has a union, but will anyone join? Wilson now makes a "smart" football, but it does no good if the field is unplayable. We discuss the Hall of Fame game debacle. Also, apologies to Justin as a technical glitch dropped about 30 min of film talk at the end of the show.

Jeff is back and we make up for his absence by diving deep into football. Gilly weighs in on Nick Foles' signing by the Chiefs. We discuss the AP Poll's preseason rankings and their list of top programs of all time. Plus, who's got the best name in the NCAA? Is it Eastern Michigan's Lion King or is it Notre Dame's Equanimeous St. Brown?

Neal, Chris and Lewis hold it down this week to talk about the delightful violence of the sure-to-be overlooked UFC 201. Ruthless Robbie Lawler, the Immortal Matt Brown, Thug Rose and Uncle Creepy are all featured this weekend but the casual mma fan will likely be looking ahead to the McGregor/Diaz headlined UFC 202. Chris tells us how he really feels about the Ghostbusters remake. And we ponder if a team consisting of just the NFL players who retired this offseason could win a SuperBowl. (spoiler - they probably could)
