Netflix Book Club

Oh no! Stephen got stuck in Chicago (probably from being all nostalgic for the city these past few weeks after watching Blues Brothers for Episode 24) this week so we are serving up a canned episode for y'all. Episode 27 was an early recording of Netflix Book Club (old theme song and everything!), so disregard the "movie" for next week at the end of the episode. I assure you next week we will bring you a discussion on The Exorcist. For now here's us chatting about In The Loop, a 2009 British comedy centering around the ridiculous bureaucratic environment of international politics. We recorded this about a year ago, but I bet we'd stick with our opinions. I remember this episode being a jokes vs. storyline argument (I think). Anyway, check out the movie and listen to the episode! Head over to the main page at www.flixbookclub.com and leave us a comment. Next week! The Exorcist!

Unless you count Bloodsport, Episode 25 is our first children's movie. It's an animated film that's part political drama, part gender studies, and wholly coming of age. That might be a little grandiose. Needless to say there were very few things we agreed on with this movie. Even the animation technique was divisive (hit us up on Twitter and let us know if you're a ones or twos person). Click on over to the main page at www.flixbookclub.com and leave us a comment - what makes a good kids movie? Next week is Dennis' pick which means tackling another classic. We'll be talking about The Exorcist. Steel yourselves.

Episode 24, as chosen by KC Arora, is The Grocer's Son. A film that "hits close to his heart" (these were his initial words). It's a quaint little indie film set in Provence, France. Our protagonist Antoine has returned home with a guest in tow to help out with the family business after his father has suffered a heart attack and can no longer fulfill his duties. Riveting, morally shaking stuff here. OK, SO IT'S A DUD. BUT IT'S NOT WITHOUT IT'S MERITS. Listen to the podcast to hear us discuss it's pitfalls as well as it's finer points. Drop by the main page to leave a comment;are we wrong? What should we watch? Catch us next week for our first animated film, The Boxtrolls.

Episode 24 puts to rest a major issue for two of our hosts, Dennis Rooney and KC Arora. We had never seen The Blues Brothers. To make matters worse, we're stand up comedians. KNOW YOUR HISTORY FOLKS. This concept started as a Saturday Night Live sketch, became this film, and still runs around today in various mediums. There's a ridiculous amount of cameos in this, both musical and otherwise. But is all this enough to get a stream it from the crew? Listen to the podcast and find out. Head on over to the main page at www.flixbookclub.com, tell us what you think, whether it's what we thought too or we didn't think it at all. Tune in next week where we talk about the mysteriously unrated film The Grocer's Son.

Episode 23 as selected by Stephen is Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, an interesting flick based on the autobiographical memoir of game show creator/host/possible CIA assassin Chuck Barris. This marks the directorial debut of George Clooney, responsible for the excellent casting of Sam Rockwell as our lead Chuck. Sounds like the makings of a blockbuster, no? Listen to the podcast to see if Confessions gets that badge of honor, and if it doesn't, WHY THE HELL NOT? Swing over to the main page at www.flixbookclub.com, leave us a comment! Which of us are way off base? Are we all wrong? We wanna hear it. Catch us next week where we return to talk about the comedy classic The Blues Brothers (it's streaming on Netflix, duh. Go watch.)
