KC brings us episode 22 with his biblical pick, Darren Aronofsky's 2014 Noah. You know the story already: a man has a vision of a great flood sent from God to wipe the Earth clean, and he is to build an ark to protect the innocent (read as: animals). Super exciting stuff, right? Right? I mean Russel Crowe is in it and it's directed by the Pi/Black Swan/Requiem guy so it's gotta be good...right? Listen in and see how the boys weigh in, there are some surprising views on this one. Head over to the main page at www.flixbookclub.com to leave us a comment/suggestion for a pick. Next week swings back Stephen's way with his pick Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.

Episode 21 is Dennis' pick - a documentary produced and directed by Mike Myers about a long time friend of his: Shep Gordon. The movie is called Supermensch - mensch being a yiddish term for someone of great and noble character. This dude-man has been a talent manager since the late 60's, he's worked with every celebrity you can think of, and everybody loves him. Why? How could anybody be so likable? Watch the movie to find out and listen to us talk about ol' Shep, whether there's more to his story, and why Mike Myers even made this movie. Oh, it's another blockbuster too.

Are you happy with the car you drive? Is vehicular safety your number one concern in life? Do you love sales? Well then episode 20 is for you - Bulletproof Salesman, a documentary about a self admitted war profiteer in the business of selling armored vehicles. This documentary marks yet another blockbuster selection from our friend Stephen here at The Flix Book Club. It's only a little more than an hour long and stars maybe the most charming German fellow you've ever conducted a pseudo arms deal with: Fidelis Cloer. Check out the main page over at www.flixbookclub.com and leave us a comment - what'd you think? Is this dude horrible or just a cold German businessman? Tune in next week where we watch and discuss a documentary about a very different but equally notorious individual titled Supermensch: The Legend of Shep Gordon.

For episode 19 KC chose the 2014 reboot of the 1987 Robocop, which takes place in 2028. 867-5309. Holy Christ! This movie is packed with big names: Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Samuel L. Jackson, hell I'll even throw in Jay Baruchel and Abbie Cornish. Also some dude I've never heard of plays Robocop, which is fitting, as I'd never seen the original film (this is written by Dennis). Listen to the episode to hear our thoughts on why some films just need an R rating and what exactly "character development" entails. Shoot over to the main page at www.flixbookclub.com and leave us a comment! What'd you think? Got a recommendation? Check out Bulletproof Salesman streaming on Netflix to get a head start on next week's episode.

Listen up Flix folk: we have an irregular episode today because life is crazy sometimes. Like when you're Jewish but you hate Jewish people. We'll get to that in a minute though! OK, so if you watched the Robocop reboot don't worry; we'll be back next Wednesday to talk about it. But for now! Here's an early episode of The Flix Book Club with the original theme song and name! SOAK IT IN. The movie we talk about is called The Believer - one of Ryan Gosling's earliest films, it shows the story of a self-hating Jewish man coming to grips with who he is. Comments should be directed towards the main site www.flixbookclub.com, (complaints to [email protected]) let us know what you thought, who you agree with, or whether you think it's #streamit quality or #dontstreamit rubbish. Next week we're back to our regularly scheduled programming to talk about Robocop (2014).
