PIG MOVIE REVIEW

First time director debut Michael Sarnoski leads veteran actor Nicholas Cage in this foodie noir thriller. Rob (Cage) and his pig live alone in the Oregonian wilderness. They hunt and trade truffles to sustain their lives of solitude. Word gets out about this extraordinary hog and it’s not long until Rob’s pig is swine snatched by a Portland-based criminal organization of culinary crooks. Rob and his most loyal client Amir (Alex Wolff) must return to the city and his past to secure his sow and his sanity. Bradly, Wright, Tessa, and Beau discuss the first rule of service industry Fight Club, delight in the delicacy of Nicholas Cage’s wacky performances, and toss around the proper way to prepare and eat a tomato.

Bradly Martin (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub)

Bradly Martin was born in the united states and grew up on a healthy diet of sports, films, and books. A rather shy lad who kept to himself, Bradly soon discovered the best way to know a person was to know what people liked. Throughout the years Bradly became a fan of many things and a fanatic of none. From Doctor Dre, to Doctor Strange and the who’s who of Whos. From Playstation to the Dreamcast and Marvel to DC. From LeBron James to James Bond and Lord of the Rings to Lord Palmerston (or Pitt the Elder if you agree with Wade Boggs) and is a huge fan of dad jokes and randomly obscure Simpsons references. Armed with a vast knowledge of comics, films, and pop culture. Bradly traveled the world making friends and sharing takes. As a young man Bradly married the love of his life young and grew older every year with each new child brought into the brood. If trends continue, Scientists predict that .2% of Canada (where Bradly and family reside) will be populated by Bradly’s children by the year 2029. You can hear him leading and listening to his favorite critics on the Screener Squad and Eye on the prize and maybe even provide some comments of his own.

Tessa Morrison (Highly Suspect Reviews, Screener Squad, Unstabletop Gamers)

Well-rounded nerd and artist, Tessa Morrison grew up in the misty mountains of West Virginia and was constantly ridiculed for being a “weirdo.” Then moved to Austin in 2009 where people said the same thing, but in an endearing tone. Tessa works an office day job, creates puppets and fiber art, cosplays, models for gaming and animation studios, and volunteers for various organizations. One of which is the Other Worlds Film Festival, Austin’s first SciFi film fest, working in the capacity of Outreach Director a...
