Out Now With Aaron and Abe

It is a fun mashup this week as far as participants on Out Now with Aaron and Abe. Abe and Aaron are joined by Just Seen It’s Liz Manashil and Sean Wright to discuss the stop-animated, zombie flick for all ages, ParaNorman. The group goes into whether or not this all-ages fright fest is good enough to say “See It” to, as well as have plenty of fun with the regular segments of the show; which includes “Know Everybody”, “Trailer Talk” (The Rise of the Guardians and The Last Stand), “Movie Call Back”, Box Office Results and Predictions, and a game that is pretty wild and involves team work. Fun discussion, lots of things covered, we literally put our hearts and souls into it.

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe is maybe the end of an era. Aaron and Abe have enjoyed the presence of guests Jordan Grout and Alan Aguilera on the same episodes, in the past, but this Total Recall-themed episode was almost too ridiculous, questioning whether they can have those two on at the same time ever again. That said, yes, Total Recall is the main review this week, but there is also plenty of discussion during the other segments as well, including “Know Everybody”, “Trailer Talk” (Skyfall, Killing Them Softly, The Dark Knight Returns Part 1), “Movie Call Back”, Box Office Results and Predictions, and of course Games. It is an in-depth episode, with plenty of shenanigans going on, as well as lots of geeky film discussion.

It’s another commentary, but a historical one! The most important thing to note about this episode is that four of us watched all three Step Up movies simultaneously and recorded a commentary that can go along side any of them. So basically anyone can choose whichever Step Up movie and use this commentary to help supplement it. This is a first in podcasting and commentary history, I believe, so feel free to embrace it. Aaron is joined by Alan Aguilera (watching Step Up), Jordan Grout (watching Step Up 2 The Streets), and Ken Noffsinger (watching Step Up 3D with Aaron) to talk about each film, at the same time. Frankly, this was an amazing idea, very difficult to record, but completely worth it to give anyone the opportunity to watch any of the Step Up movies and have a jokey commentary for it.

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe is an ease back from the past week that was full of multiple guests and discussions about one of the biggest movies of the year and a switchover to a discussion about the latest in the “World’s biggest dance movie franchise.” Comedian Christian Spicer guests with Aaron and Abe to discuss Step Up Revolution and provides maybe the most in-depth, movie podcast film review about it. The other segments are present as well, including “Know Everybody”, “Trailer Talk” (Cloud Atlas and Life of Pi), “Movie Call Back”, Box Office Results, and of course Games. We may be past The Dark Knight Rises (for now), but at least we have kept up our sense of humor.

This special bonus episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe is a continuation of The Dark Knight Rises episode. While the first episode was all about reviewing Batman’s latest adventures, while staying spoiler-free, this episode features a spoiler-filled discussion about the film. There is some quick talk about The Dark Knight Rises’ box office totals, but after that, the rest of the show is dedicated to The Dark Knight Rises and everything about it. Aaron (and Abe, eventually) is joined by guests Scott Mendelson, Jordan Grout, Alan Aguilera, and Adam Gentry. Differing viewpoints certainly lead to some spirited conversing, but overall, everyone just wants to pick apart (in positive and negative ways) the most anticipated film of the year.

This week’s episode is only ‘Part 1’ of a large conversation. The Dark Knight Rises has been hotly anticipated by pretty much everyone, which of course includes Aaron, Abe, and guests Mark Hobin and Adam Gentry. While this is a regular episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe, the review for The Dark Knight Rises is a spoiler-free one, which serves as Part 1, because a longer, spoiler-filled discussion will be soon released as well. Still, the gang does discuss the epic conclusion to Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, along with delving into the regular segments, which includes “Know Everybody”, “Trailer Talk” (Man of Steel and Oz: The Great and Powerful), “Movie Call Back”, games, and other fun. It may just be Part 1, but it’s definitely a big big movie episode.

Out Now with Aaron and Abe always loves delivering bonus episodes and now they are dealing out an audio commentary for Batman Forever. I guess the logic was that at least one Batman film needed to be talked about, so why not the third in the former franchise, before everyone goes out to see the third in the Nolan franchise. So that’s what occurred. Aaron is joined by commentary regulars Jim Dietz, Jordan Grout, and Scott Mendelson, for another packed audio track to accompany anyone that wants to relive the Val Kilmer-Joel Schumacher Collaboration that occurred back in the summer of 1995. A lot is discussed and there’s a lot to enjoy, so please do.

The special bonus episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe is all about San Diego Comic Con. Aaron was in attendance for all five days along with frequent guest and friend of the show Alan Aguilera. The two of them are both present for this episode, talking at length about what happened mainly in regards to the big movie panels that occurred within the always incredibly packed Hall H. Both Aaron and Alan share their experiences within the hall and talk about the footage seen and what went on with the panel participants. The two also talk about some of their favorite experiences and sights seen at this year’s Comic Con. It is a lengthier discussion than anticipated, but certainly packed with info.

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe could have easily been a disaster, much like the region that the characters in the main film of the week live in. Instead, despite a tired co-host and not as much prep as is usually done to make the show feel seamless (although Abe is a damn good editor), Aaron, Abe, and guest Mark Hobin were all able to successfully review Beasts of the Southern Wild, as well as speak of several of the more recent art house and independent films that have come out. The guys of course get into the regular segments as well, including “Know Everybody”, “Trailer Talk” (Anna Karenina, and The Master), “Movie Call Back”, and Box Office Talk. While ‘Beasts’ may not be a widely seen film as of now, hopefully enough people will check it out based on what the group has to say about it.
