This Week: Audy wanted to try something different and do a retro review of three movies from 2014 that he originally reviewed. This episode, he brings on his regular co-host Elvin "The Nerdfather" Jones and other frequent collaborator, Warren James, to do a new podcast series: Upon Further Review. The first film from 2014 the fellas review is John Wick starring Keanu Reeves, Ian McShane and Willem Dafoe. Audy felt the movie started a new genre of bareknuckle, grounded, microbudget action film and resurrected Keanu Reeves' career. Warren thought the action scenes still held up regardless of the flat second half of the film. Second, is Christopher Nolan's time travel, sci-fi thriller Interstellar starring Matthew "Alright Alright Alright" McConaughey, Michael Caine, Jessica Chastain, and Anne Hathaway. Elvin thought the movie got better over time and felt that the "weightiness" of the material upon first review four years ago wasn't a sticking point at all for an otherwise great film and lauded that this movie showcased a Matthew McConaughey APEX performance. Audy and Warren initially and pensively gave the movie a 3-star "Hell Yeah" rating, but upon rewatching felt the movie is excellent and will go down as one of Nolan's top films. Lastly, Edge of Tomorrow, the little known movie starring a damaged goods movie star in Tom Cruise and then an unknown actress in Emily Blunt. Needless to say, upon further review, all three fellas felt the movie's writing, editing and humor is borderline brilliant especially in the first half of the film. It really made Emily Blunt the action heroine that the box office needed and paved the road for her career and role in Sicario. The movie, as great as it was, like John Wick went from a crashing halt, to a predictable and weak plot conclusion but still a strong and memorable film overall!
