Out Now With Aaron and Abe

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe finds four young men happening upon a bright light in the dead of night and experiencing something great. This is of course referring to the brightness of their computer monitors, as Aaron, Abe, and guests Jordan from Jersey and Alan Aguilera all share their thoughts on the super-powered “found footage” film Chronicle. Along with that, the gang discusses some movie trailers (Project X and Silent House), has some fun with “Know Everybody”, and follows through with the other regular segments as well, such as box office results, and the retro reviews. It’s a show recorded late at night, but everyone is more than game to play along, using telekinesis or otherwise…

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe sees the boys stranded out in the cold and intense wilderness, as they are discussing the new Liam Neeson survival drama, The Grey. Joining the duo, also in from the cold and intense wilderness of Park City, Utah, is Adam Gentry, who unfortunately did not catch up with The Grey, but did get to attend both the Slamdance and the Sundance Film Festival. So Aaron and Abe cover The Grey, Adam talks about some of the films he got to see, and the trio have some fun with the other segments of the show as well, including “know everybody”, trailer talk (Act of Valor and Wrath of the Titans), some retro reviews, box office results, and other fun stuff. Liam Neeson would be proud.

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe is a bit of a quickie, despite going through all the fun segments and featuring two guests. Aaron and Abe are joined by (a very much alive) Jordan Grout and HHWLOD’s own Mr. Jim Dietz, as the group discusses the latest from Steven Soderbergh, Haywire. As mentioned, the gang goes forth with all the regular segments as well, including “Know Everybody”, trailer talk (Expendables 2 and GI JOE: Retaliation), box office results, retro reviews, and the return of games. The episode is a bit shorter than most, but it still is pretty packed.

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe is the first official “regular” episode of 2012. Aaron and Abe are joined by Mark Hobin and Mark Johnson to discuss the Steven Spielberg period-family-drama, War Horse, as well as provide some thoughts on the 2012 Golden Globes (the episode was recorded the morning before the ceremony). Along with the film and the award show talk, the gang goes through the list of regular segments as well, including “Know Everybody”, Trailer Talk (Men In Black 3 and The Hunger Games), Retro Reviews, and other fun stuff. It is nice to be back to the regular episode format.

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe is the final bonus episode related to the year of 2011. It is the much anticipated best films of 2011 where Aaron and Abe count down their top films of the year. Joining the duo in counting down their favorite films are Mark Hobin, Adam Gentry, and, eventually, Alan Aguilera. Regardless of the fact that some members of this group had a fundamentally different approach to what “Top 10” list means, everyone gets a chance to speak their peace about what they feel were the best films of 2011. There is plenty of discussion about these films, as well as some other films that deserved honorable mention, as well as some that fell into certain other categories. It’s a packed show yet again.

Once again, Out Now with Aaron and Abe is delivering another bonus episode. With everyone so busy, yet apparently filled with ideas for episodes, the thought of doing an episode based around the TV shows of 2011 came up. With Abe sitting this one out, Aaron joins up with guest writer/reporter Jonathan Van Dyke to go over a large batch of notable television series, which were on during the year. The episode is divided into topics including new shows, shows that got better, shows that got worse, cancelled shows memorial, and best/favorite shows. It is an incredibly packed episode, which doesn’t even cover all of what Aaron and Jon wanted to talk about. Still, they guys give it their best shot and talk about a lot of quality TV programs.

So here is another special holiday bonus episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe. This episode covers The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, with the first twenty minutes or so of the actual review going over the gang’s overall thoughts on the film; before they go heavy into spoilers (a warning is provided). While this episode actually doesn’t feature Abe (aww), Aaron does his best and is joined by Adam Gentry, Alan Aguilera, and for a brief time, a very, very special guest to discuss the “feel bad movie of Christmas”. The gang also discusses the new teaser for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus and has some fun with the “Know Everybody” segment. But really, Dragon Tattoo becomes a fairly meaty discussion, given are unusual choice to delve into spoilers.

Happy Holidays Everyone! Due to an obviously chaotic holiday season, this is the first of hopefully a couple hastily recorded bonus holiday episodes. The subject of this episode is the new Steven Spielberg-directed, Peter Jackson-produced motion-capture animated feature, The Adventures of Tintin. Aaron and Abe are joined by Jordan Grout (while driving in his car) to discuss the film, as well as play a little “Know Everybody”, talk about the brand new teaser for The Hobbit, have a little retro review fun, with a surprising amount of Indy 4-related talk, and play some games. Aaron talks really fast, Abe finds success, and Jordan is happy to be along for the ride in this fast-paced, packed bonus episode.

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe is another packed episode. Amidst the holiday season, many many films are coming out, but Aaron and Abe are doing what they can to cover a good chunk of them. First up, the newest Mission: Impossible film and a sequel to Sherlock Holmes. Joining the duo to discuss these features are past guests Scott Mendelson and Jordan Grout. The group takes the time needed to get into reviewing these tentpole releases along with delving into The Dark Knight Rises prologue, which was exclusively attached to select IMAX screens showing Mission: Impossible. Other regular segments of the show are included as well; “know everybody”, “retro review”, and an extended look at the box office, given the skills Scott Mendelson possesses as a pundit. It is certainly a content-filled show, with plenty of fun to be had.

This week’s bonus episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe is an audio commentary. It is also a special combo episode, as Out Now is pitching in for its sister podcast show, The Walking Dead TV Podcast. Aaron and Abe have tried a commentary once before, so far, with John Carpenter’s The Thing, but now the duo joins up once again with Alan Aguilera and Jordan Grout to discuss George A. Romero’s Night of the Living Dead, the zombie film that started it all, which is of course quite fitting for WDTV. Joining them as well is one of the co-hosts of WDTV, Jordan from Jersey. Night of the Living Dead is an incredibly easy movie to find (especially for free via the internet), so please try and enjoy yourselves, as the gang does what they can to entertain and speak about the movie.
