Shared Passwords

Filmcast Without a Cause travels to the wettest county in the world with this week's feature review of John Hillcoat's Lawless. The show starts with a sad piece of news as we learn of Michael Clark Duncan's passing, but we recover quickly to discuss Michael Keaton in the Robocop remake, Shia Labouf's "non-simulated" sex scene in an upcoming Lars Van Trier film and discuss the guidelines to successful screenwriting, developed by Pixar. After the review we tackle the cinema world's "Double Threats" and a fall movie preview.

Filmcast Without a Cause returns to celebrate the films of summer with the inaugural "Golden AC" awards.

Feature review aside, the highlight of this show is the "Golden ACs" where Jacob and P@ present awards to the best films of summer. More FWOAC than you can shake a stick at.

FWOAC sets its critical eye on Akiva Schaffer's sophomore directorial effort The Watch! This week Patrick and Jacob keep all guests out deliver an easily digestible -super power free- filmcast. First up, our reactions to the release of an extended trailer for Cloud Atlas, than we talk about the minefield that could be Warner Brother's potential The Shining prequel, and then we breakdown three Bad Robot films (J.J. Abrams production house) currently in the hopper. Our second act is where we discuss The Watch, before closing out the show with some personal film adventures and cinematography discussion.

Filmcast Without a Cause returns to exact film criticism on the summer's most anticipated film The Dark Knight Rises! Dan Boberg joins our dynamic duo to share his fanatical Batman insights into the character and its film back catalogue. The trio discusses the impressive line-up for this year's Toronto International Film Festival and Dreamworks purchase of Classic Media. Finally, since this week's film is a veritable mine-field of spoilers, after the closing music, our anti-heroes hold nothing back from the details of the Christopher Nolan's film installment in his much-lauded bat trilogy.

For our feature review we break down Timur Bekmambetov's Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. Our second act includes DVD reviews, general nerdery, a quick overview of a local film festival and finally we'll wrap it up.
