Down To Watch

"I'm not gonna go and play God with you guys." - Adam Le Dan, Takeru, and Michel try to find the light at the end of the time jump. Sadly all they find is a movie that may have been better left in time. Oddly Dan has no research, Takeru does the intro for the first time, and Michel looks too deeply into the void. Luckily for you, as usual the guys we're Down to Watch so you didn't have to.

It's crazy what a few years and having to pay complete attention can do to a movie you've seen 100x before. Dan, Takeru, and Michel sit down to discuss Amelie. While some find it better than before, others find it old hat. Join us as we try to flesh out this cult classic.

"Let's just say I'm going to give him a little something extra with my hand." - Dave Skylark Yes, yes, yes, we know this is old news now, but trust me we watched it christmas day....we just had trouble trying to record it. But Clarence, Dan, & Michel sit down and discuss the BIGGEST FILM OF THE YEAR....on VOD.

"I was raised to be charming, not sincere." - Cinderella's Prince This episode we sit down and discuss the Golden Globe darling Into the Woods. Dan is a no show so we're forced to call in back up, by the name of Michael Filanc composer extraordinaire. Michel loose his mind and Clarence falls in love with musicals....And everyone is still to this very moment trying to figure out what was going on.

First TBT of the year and we think we started it off right. New host calls in from NYC to give his take on the Gene Hackman classic The Conversation. As the guys talk over the main points and their fear of Florida, you the listener get to enjoy the ride.

The last and final pick of our Holiday flicks comes from Michael, who picked this obscure Christmas family film called The Family Stone. We discuss the crazy affair of the "holiday family get-together" and how awkward and weird and strange they can be, and how the film works to get some of that just right. The film stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Craig T. Nelson, Claire Danes, Rachel McAdams, Luke Wilson, and Dermot Mulroney.

The second holiday classic we watched was the John Hughes-written, Chevy Chase-filled, christmas extravaganza Christmas Vacation; the third film in the National Lampoon's Vacation saga. This movie was chosen by Dan, and is a film he see's without question every year around the holiday's! Also, this is our first "commentary" episode, so dust off that VHS copy and follow along at home as we chat over the film as it's playing LIVE!

This is the first of our next four podcasts that are all Throw Back Thursday episodes, covering each of our favorite holiday films we watch every year. Clarence was up first and picked the winter-classic, Home Alone! Stay tuned for future picks in the coming weeks leading up to the New Year!

"We used to look up at the sky and wonder at our place in the stars. Now we just look down, and worry about our place in the dirt." - Cooper This month...yes we know it's been a while, but Clarence picked the Christopher Nolan Space Epic "Interstellar." Clarence, Michel, and Jonnie have a fun time talking about just how epic this film truly was, and towards the end have a convo about the internet breaker "STAR WARS 7 Trailer"

"Popularity is the slutty little cousin of prestige." - Mike Shiner This week was Jonnie's pick. He picked Birdman. It was an interesting picture. Please listen! Thanks! Enjoy! You will not be disappointed! No, for real, just listen and you will see, this is a great one.
