FITWR Volume 2

This podcast will self destruct in 42 minutes and 15 seconds

This week, Patches, Katey, and David accept the impossible mission of reviewing Tom Cruise's fifth Mission: Impossible installment, Rogue Nation. Was it a rabbit's foot or is it desperate need of a face (mask) lift? Then, Katey and David head off for Wally World with a brief review of the Vacation review. Then, answers to a lightning round question that's too hard to explain.

Plus: Is that David Foster Wallace movie a travesty?

Katey, Patches and Da7e and David are back to talk about how authors and famous people an how they are portrayed in film. First, everyone but Da7e has seen the David Foster Wallace book-tour movie The End of the Tour and debates what this movie is about and if that makes it worth watching. Then, Patches wants to know if someone being famous is reason enough to document them, which ends up unveiling the groups true feelings about the documentary format. Finally, for Segment 3, we all think we know what a spy movie is, but it turns out, we don't.

Kevin James is an illiterate US President, just to set the mood.

There's a new Adam Sandler movie out and it's about video games. The aliens that pretend to be video games probably don't win the day, but can Pixels survive Patches, David and Katey giving it an actual critical reckoning?

 

How was LAST week's review called "Trainwreck" with this movie on the slate?

What TV shows did you give up on?

Katey, Patches and David continue their amazing pleasant conversations without Da7e around talking about Ant-Man. Katey is watching Friday Night Lights and hit the ever-difficult second season, prompting a conversation about True Detective Season 2 and when we pull the rip-cord on a series that isn't doing it for us anymore. Then – Patches got engaged! – the hosts each pick a movie that makes them think of marriage in a celebratory mini-segment. Finally: Adam Sandler: how is this still a thing? Is there anything really morally wrong with people spending money to make crappy and lazy movies that make money, or can we hate-hate-hate on it?

Get small and stop drinking?

All four hosts are on hand to guide you through this week's releases in the theater (it's summer, we know you're at least considering escaping to the movies). First, David, Katey and Patches throw down about Amy Schumer and Judd Apatow's Trainwreck, for real this time. Then, Da7e speaks up to transition into Ant-Man, a Marvel movie with zero Infinity Stones. Finally, David has seen the Indonesian genocide doc The Look of Silence even though you haven't yet, so he has words of high praise.

And We Love Paul Rudd

Katey, Patches and David soldier on and podcast as Da7e got small and was absent this week. That may have something to do with this week's two film releases, Marvel's Ant-Man and Trainwreck, both discussed on this podcast via our love for Paul Rudd and how we view authorship in a movie like Trainwreck. There's also a mini-segment about Takashi Murakami's Jellyfish Eyes and if you don't know what that is, you will after this episode.

Musings from San Diego Couch-Con 2015

This weekend was San Diego Comic-Con and everything  that entails. While David quietly rages somewhere and Katey attends a wedding, Da7e and Patches don't have any sane person from holding them back from fully geeking out over Comic-Con's movie fair this year. Da7e describes the Star Wars panel to a spoiler-averse Patches, then the two cover all the major Hall H presentations of note, including Pan, The Hateful Eight, Warcraft and several side conversations about important things like the fate of Garrett Hedlund (or this one moment where Da7e mistakenly refers to Zorro as "English" in passing and no one correct him). Join us, won't you? For Comic-Con 2015

And the gang solves sexism.

In the summer of revolving hosts, Katey is out, the dudes are in and Da7e wants to talk about the theater of going on a good dark ride at an amusement park and how that's like what we want from movies. Then, Patches and David get to get in on the conversation with movies that the male audience missed to their own detriment. Finally, in honor of the excellent Tangerine (shot on an iPhone!), the guys talk about movies shot on consumer grade equipment.

Magic Mike and Terminator add sequels this week

In this double-stuffed episode, Patches, Katey, and David grind on Magic Mike XXL in the hottest, heaviest fashion. Do we get it up for this studly sequel? Then, Da7e and Patches change the FITWR timeline forever by reviewing Terminator Genisys, the franchise's fifth installment. That and answers to our Amy-related lightning round question on this week's review episode.

And the gang solves sexism.

This week, Katey, Patches and David have sent Da7e to 1984 to sire Patches, his future son, so they decide it is high time to talk about male objectification in a mini segment in honor of the upcoming Magic Mike XXL. Also, Patches has watched and ranked every Arnold Schwarzenegger movie and shares what he learns and all three hosts take a look back at a week where a lot of things happened, but not in our movie theaters, per se.
