Bryan McKenna returns to talk about his FIRST viewing of this Gus Van Sant...dare I say masterpiece? I dare. We also have stand up comedian Tim Krompier sitting in offering a perspective of having seen the movie before "How do ya like DEM apples?!" was integrated into common nomenclature. Click the link, subscribe on iTunes, find us on Stitcher. But most importantly reach out to us! Like the Netflix Book Club Facebook page, follow us on Twitter @flixbookclub, or just leave a comment. Thanks for listening and we'll talk to you next week about Billy Bob Thornton's Sling Blade!

WHAT YEAR IS IT?! Episode 56 is Turbo Kid! Yes, that weird movie you keep passing while browsing on Netflix! It's a movie obsessed with the 80's, set in 1997, and came out in 2015. It's a post-apocalyptic wasteland, there's no water, yada-yada-yada... Mad Max on BMX bikes. That's really all you need to know. It's super violent and feels awesome. We're joined by OG KC Arora (www.kcarora.com)who is responsible for us viewing this. Get at us in the comment section, hit us up on Twitter @flixbookclub and of course please subscribe on iTunes. Next week we talk Good Will Hunting!

Happy Valentine's Day! Okay we're a little late. Episode 55 is Notting Hill, was recorded on Valentine's Day, and we are joined by walking rom-com-protagonist/stand up comedian Anthony DiDomenico (@comicanthonyd)! Notting Hill is a movie about a a gorgeous American celebrity falling in love with a quiet, underachieving, extremely apologetic Brit. 'Cause it's a fictional story, guys. But it has merit! In fact we all voted to stream it. So check it out, and listen to the podcast! Apologies for our intro getting cut short, but we cover a lot of ground on this episode. Follow on Twitter @flixbookclub, like the Facebook page, subscribe on iTunes! Next week we talk the nostalgic Turbo Kid.

Yo, just look at Cage's face in that picture. Okay, now:

We may have strayed from the righteous path, but Episode 54 brings us back in good favor! Neil Constantine (comedian, podcaster, @constantneil) had us watch Nicolas Cage's Left Behind. Based on the book series of the same name, Left Behind has a strange pseudo-super-christian vibe, and tanked at the box office. It got terrible reviews and even the Christians panned it. So of course we watched it then sat around and talked about it. We're sorry. Subscribe on iTunes, catch us on Stitcher, reach out right here or on Twitter @flixbookclub. Special Valentine's Day episode to follow where we talk about Notting Hill.

Episode 53 finally lets Netflix Book Club let her hair down after a few heavy-hearted weeks...To some degree at least. This week we wax on over Sean S. Baker's Tangerine. We're joined by native New Yorker Meg Charlton, who fittingly lent us her LA expertise (she did a short stint out in Tinsel Town before coming to her senses and returning East). There's a lot of cool shit going on with this film! Download and listen to us go off on it, subscribe on iTunes, catch us on Stitcher, follow us on Twitter! @flixbookclub. Thanks for listening in, we'd love to hear what you think.

NEXT WEEK: We talk LEFT BEHIND (yeah that Nicolas Cage movie).
