Netflix Book Club

Episode 42 is Lawrence of Arabia! This is another classic movie that I (Dennis) had never seen before, and I was glad to mark it off my list. I owe this forced-watching experience to our special guest this week Ray Kump, a hilarious stand up comic from NY. Lawrence of Arabia is a historical dramatization of the story of T.E. Lawrence, a British officer and diplomat. It's in the National Registry and Kump basically made us watch it because he "thought it'd be funny to make you watch a 3 hour movie".

Episode 41 is the 1984 gangster spoof Johnny Dangerously! We also introduce a friend of the book club on this episode, Michael Kaldarian, who brings an Aussie sensibility to an otherwise staunchly American podcast. IS THIS MOVIE FUNNY? DOES IT HOLD UP? HOW MUCH OF THE PRODUCTION COST WAS SPENT ON MAKEUP? These questions and more are explored on the podcast, but add to the discussion over at our main page, http://www.flixbookclub.com/. Subscribe on iTunes! Follow us on Twitter @flixbookclub! Catch us next week where we talk about the dreadfully long (and classically considered) Lawrence of Arabia.

After a short hiatus Netflix Book Club returns with episode 40 - To Kill A Mockingbird. Chosen by KC as his final pick before leaving the club, Mockingbird stars Gregory Peck and other people I was unfamiliar with before watching. I had never even read the book, something I had somehow avoided in High School. Having said that we had a fantastic conversation about the film, discussing fear, childhood, pragmatism, and how badass Atticus Finch is. Head on over to the main page http://www.flixbookclub.com/ and leave us a comment with your thoughts, criticisms, and romantic advances. Next week you'll hear us talk about Johnny Dangerously, and 80's parody film with Michael Keaton.

Netflix Book Club brings you episode 39, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World! It stars Steve Carell and Keira Knightley, two neighbors turned friends (OR MORE THAN FRIENDS?!) each on a respective mission to see through before the world comes to it's end. It's another apocalypse movie! And an interesting take on the subject. We also get a slew of comics and comedic actors in small side roles that really round out the film. But did we enjoy it? Listen to this week's episode to find out what we thought of the movie as well as what the movie brought out of us (whoa). Skip on over to the main site at http://www.flixbookclub.com/, and be sure to leave us a comment. How would you spend your final days? What are some other recent stand out rom coms? Who's got the better jib, Keira or Winona? Be sure to come back next week where we'll be talking about the movie To Kill A Mockingbird. I heard they made a book out of it.

Episode 38 is Enemy at the Gates! Jude Law plays our protagonist Russian sniper going up against the antagonist Nazi sniper (played by Ed Harris). There's a romantic subplot, we see some of the battle of Stalingrad, we're reminded of the colossal death toll Russia faced during World War II (well over 8,000,000 people). It's not Saving Private Ryan, but it's the only movie I can think of that shows the war from the Russian perspective to a degree. Listen to the podcast to hear us talk about it, drop by the main page at http://www.flixbookclub.com/ and leave us a comment. Are we idiots? Should I (Dennis) have not changed my mind? Do I use too many parenthetical statements in the description blurbs? Get at us! And be sure to return next week where we talk about Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World (currently streaming on Netflix).
