FITWR Volume 2

Plus Indie Spirits and Transparent Returns to Amazon.

This week, the podcasters have lost David to what they can only assume is Carol-related madness. Katey, Patches and Da7e kick off the final month in the Year of Our Time Lord Dr. Emmett Brown by discussing the Independent Spirit Award nominees that came out this week and how they have instilled Da7e with a fear that he hasn't seen enough movies. Then, Katey gives big props to Amazon's second season of Transparent that you can watch this weekend. Finally, the trio talk about the year of 2015 flops inspired by Victor Frankenstein and Jem and the Holograms. Why did so many movies this year not work?

With returning guest Joanna Robinson!

This week, Netflix has finally released their second Marvel series of the year, Jessica Jones from showrunner Melissa Rosenberg and star Kristen Ritter. David Ehrlich totally liked it, so we brought in a contrarian to face off against David's unexpected Marvel love: Vanity Fair's Joanna Robinson! Jo sticks around for an episode that is otherwise lightly about the Cate Blanchett movie Carol, considering there's a segment praising Blanchett and another inspired by Carol's score, but the meat here is Jessica Jones.

And get out your sorting hat!

This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e stop to consider ACTUAL CANNIBAL Shia Labeouf, who just watched #AllMyMovies (well, his movies) at the Angelika in New York while a camera was pointed at him. Was this art? Are we feeling good about Shia now? Then, Hamilton's Lin-Manuel Miranda has declared himself a Slytherin on Twitter so Katey asks Da7e if this is accurate, then tasks him with sorting the other hosts. Finally, three movies by female directors came out last week (The 33, Love the Coopers, By the Sea) and Katey only saw one of them. Does that make her a bad feminist? Does it make us bad critics? If we want more women directing big movies, do we have to turn out for every big movie that happens to have a woman as a director?

"By the Sea," from Sweeney Todd by Stephen Sondehim

 

This podcast is made up of Jacks and a Jill of all trades.

This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e have hopped on the newest Netflix season-long show drop, Aziz Ansari's Master of None. It turns out that the makes on this podcast like it a lot and Da7e and Katey share their pre-Parks and Rec Aziz connections. Then, it's an anniversary year for Chris Columbus' Home Alone which makes us all feel old and leads to Patches revealing how his name is on the Home Alone 2 poster (so he claims!). Finally,  in honor of the dark comedy Entertainment what's the current state of cinema that's uncomfortable to watch? Does it have a place? How long before Da7e mentions A Serbian Film?
