FITWR Volume 2

Did Steve Jobs just bomb?

This week, in honor of both Adele's "Hello" and Drake's "Hotline Bling," Katey, David, Patches and Da7e unite to talk about music videos and their purpose in the new audio-visual landscape. Are they a gateway into the narrative film industry or more style over substance and how has this changed since the days of your David Fincher and Spike Jonzes? Also, the gang asks Da7e how he enjoyed the Goosebumps movie considering he read all 62 installments of the original series and David wants to talk about how/why/if Steve Jobs has failed at the box office. That, plus YOU can cast Sandra Bullock in something.

And if there's anything out there right now making the case for theater-going

This week, Katey, David and Patches are down a Da7e, but still manage to bring the heat with a discussion about David's mysterious dog-related tweet review of the Carrie Mulligan movie Suffragette, then Katey prompts everyone to recommend something they are catching up late on because she finally discovered USA's Playing House. Finally, The Walk and Everest are movies meant to be seen in the theater, but it doesn't seem like people are. That plus The Martian's theatrical performance has Katey wondering if we go to theaters anymore.

A story with ghosts.

And renewed debate on The Martian

This week, Katey, Da7e and David are at the whim of Patches, who wants them to ask themselves if Ridley Scott's The Martian is a movie of the moment, and if they can agree on what that is. Then, The second season of FX's Fargo has debuted and pushes the series back in time for a new angle. Finally, a Patches Matches trivia round about movies produced by Steven Spielberg!

Way too late for iReview jokes

This week, David, Katey, and Patches review Steve Jobs, the latest look at the life of the "Mac Lord" directed by Danny Boyle and written by Aaron Sorkin. Michael Fassbender plays the titular character for three scenes before product launches that define his life, but does it work? Katey feels it's limited, Patches likes it best, David goes David.

And everyone's favorite Bond song

This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e are in the October and Autumn mood. First off, that means that there is a new season of network television invading our sets and streaming services. Why, with so much good TV on, is it so hard to find something worthy of time commitment. Then, after a quick mini-segment about Bond movie theme songs, we talk about seasonal movies and seasonal movie experiences. See Rocky Horror Picture Show with an audience (or don't) and the gang wants to know what YOU watch this spooky season.

(It's between two tall buildings)

This week, David, Katey, and Patches teeter on the edge of intelligent and troll-like to review The Walk, the latest spectacle from director Robert Zemeckis. Is it a high-wire act of cinematic proportions or does it stumble and fall? That and answers to our documentary-turned-narrative lightning round question on this week's FITWR review episode.

And everyone calls their Best Picture shot way too early.

This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e are all together although they all haven't watched the same amount of HBO's Project Greenlight. All four of them have at least seen an episode, so they talk about producing a film and representation and if Effie Brown the producer is the best or has room for improvement. Then, David forces everyone to award Best Picture right now, mostly to things they haven't seen. Finally, Robert Zemeckis' The Walk comes out this week and it is one of those experience movies that is going to take you on a 3D journey, this leads the group into a discussion about the future of VR in entertainment. That plus a documentary-based lighting round question!
