The Film Board

"One wrong note eventually ruins the entire symphony."

The Film Board gathers! This month we’ve hit the Feel-a-Round Cineplex for Ridley Scott’s latest entry to the Alien Cinematic Universe: Alien: Covenant. The film tells the story of a colony ship on their way to brave new horizons, seeding a distant planet with new life when they have to go check out this one thing on that one other planet only to discover... yeah, you know the drill. How well does Scott get us back into the Alienscape and engaged with this fancy new crew? What do we make of cinematographer Dariusz Wolski’s camera as a window into this new Alien? How much would we pay to see a standalone film of Michael Fassbender talking to Michael Fassbender? All these questions answered, and SO much more as Steve Sarmento leads Andy Nelson and Pete Wright on a journey through the deepest, darkest alien woods.

"Knowing is good, but knowing everything is better."

The Film Board gathers and we’re pulling everyone much much too close into The Circle. The book was released in 2013 from Dave Eggers and the movie adaptation opened this week in theaters. Our Thugs will completely spoil it for you in this show as we explore our respective crushes on Tom Hanks, Emma Watson, John Boyega, and so many others. We’re going to question everything in this movie, because depending on your preferred mode of listening, it may make you question everything about your technology choices.Our special sphere for this show includes Tommy Metz III, Andy Nelson, Steve Sarmento, Justin 'JJ' Jaeger, and new special guest host Jaime Smith as we run around the spinning thrills of The Circle.

"Don’t be what they make you to be."

Back-to-back Film Board weeks! We couldn’t let this one go by - Marvel comics movies are continuing to find their graphic stride this month with Logan and our thugs need to get in the fight and mix it up about the value of a hard “R” comic representation in the cinematic universe. It’s not spoilery to talk about the completely appropriate rating this movie drew, but in addition to that, we will spoil the story and theorize what it means for the Marvel mutants' present and future.We continue to keep our own lineup fresh on this show with Steve Sarmento, Pete Wright, Justin 'JJ' Jaeger, and another awesome appearance from special guest host Darnell Smith. Listening to this episode will help you decide whether you should get over your comic book movie apathy, embrace de-sensitization to knife (claw) gore, and/or slice your way to this movie before the Ides of March. If you don’t want to be thoroughly spoiled, come back and listen after you see it once your healing factor kicks in. When the movie ends, our conversation begins!

Back to Back Film Board weeks! We couldn’t let this one go by - Marvel comics movies are continuing to find their graphic stride this month with LOGAN and our thugs need to get in the fight and mix it up about the value of a hard “R” comic representation in the cinematic universe. It’s not spoilery to talk about the completely appropriate rating this movie drew, but in addition to that, we will spoil the story and theorize what it means for the Marvel mutants’ present and future.

We continue to keep our own lineup fresh on this show with Steve, Pete, JJ and another awesome appearance from special guest host Darnell Smith. Listening to this episode will help you decide whether you should get over your comic book movie apathy, embrace de-sensitization to knife (Claw) gore, and/or slice your way to this movie before the Ides of March. If you don’t want to be thoroughly spoiled, come back and listen after you see it once your healing factor kicks in. When the move ends, our conversation begins!

“Here it is: My boy Chris has been missing for two days.”
The Film Board gathers! This month, in a departure from the heady intensity of the Oscars line-up, our Gang of Thugs takes on a thriller written and directed by comedy all-star Jordan Peele. Get Out is thoroughly spoiled through our chat and we talk about its balance of satire and terror and the genre similarities of horror and comedy and how a filmmaker’s skills in one discipline can be transferable to the other.We’re continuing to try to scare the pants off ourselves this year and on this show you’ll hear Pete Wright, Andy Nelson, Tommy Metz III, and our new guest host Darnell Smith. Let us spoil Get Out for you if you want to take the edge off the suspense or listen to the show after you see it and let us know how it hits you. When the movie ends, our conversation begins!

"He’s on the move."

DON'T LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE OF THE FILM BOARD until you see Split! At The Next Reel and The Film Board, we always mention how WE SPOIL MOVIES and this month we’ve taken on twistmaster M. Night Shyamalan's newest film with a conversation that is completely impossible without SPOILING this movie for you. That being said, go see it and then come and join us because there is lots and lots to talk about from this psychological thriller put together in the classic Shyamalan style.Suspense and terror is front and center for the first part of 2017 and gathering together this month, we’ve got Andy Nelson, Steve Sarmento, Tommy Metz III, and Justin 'JJ' Jaeger to start it up. If you’ve got strong feelings about MNS movies, you really should see Split and then check us out.
