June 23, 2013 World War Z • The Film Board
The curse is broken! The Film Board gathers and we finally have a movie that all of us like! It's Brad Pitt against the world's nasty plague problem on the show this week and Steve, Andy, and Pete talk about why you should see this film, why you should like this film, and why it's culturally far more relevant than a run of the mill zombie thriller. That's right, we're cutting against the grain this week on The Film Board so check out this film and join us for a chat on Pitt and the world that's out to bite him!

June 03, 2013Now You See Me
It's a Very Special Episode for this month's Film Board gathering. Today on the show, Steve Sarmento and Chadd Stoops join Andy Nelson and Pete Wright to take on the great Next Reel Crossover with Now You See Me — a magical heist film of skeptical proportions. Director Louis Leterrier takes The Four Horsemen Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco and manufactures the epic stage show. Does it hold up to scrutiny? Is this finally the Morgan Freeman/Michael Caine matchup to end all Morgan Freeman/Michael Caine matchups? Is Mark Ruffalo still super-angry all the time? All these questions, and the answer to whether or not you are the smartest person in the room on this week's Film Board. Listen in!

April 14, 201342
The Film Board gathers to take on this weekend's new release, 42. This Jackie Robinson biopic comes with some misgivings, not the least of which comes in writer-director Brian Helgeland's script. The Board is moved somewhere between "stark and emotionless" to "Lifetime Movie of the Week" with this entry into cinema baseball-dom, with a few noted highlights: Chadwick Boseman and Nicole Beharie offer standout performances in this otherwise middling sports fare. Join Andy Nelson, Steve Sarmento, Mike Evans, and Pete Wright for a conversation about baseball, great movie posters, and a little bit of Windows 8. Because of Andy.

March 11, 2013Oz the Great and Powerful
The Film Board gathers to take on Disney's latest trip to the Emerald Kingdom. This week on the show, Steve Sarmento and Tommy Metz III join Andy and Pete to pull apart Oz The Great and Powerful, and pull it apart they do. Clumsy scripting? Trouble with the protagonist? Witches that can shoot lightning from their fingers throwing away everything because of a crush on a boy? All that, and we're still swept away by the magic of the final act. Listen in for why we think this is a great what-could-have-been film that ends up near the very bottom of our list.

February 11, 2013Side Effects
The band is back together! And this month, the illustrious Film Board gathers its ranks to take on Steven Soderbergh's "final" film, Side Effects. Haven't seen it yet? Don't worry, we'll spoil it for you, but it won't matter – you won't understand it anyway. Chadd Stoops, Steve Sarmento, Mike Evans, and newcomer Tommy Metz III join Andy and Pete to hash out just how Soderberghian this film really is, the overwhelmingly satisfying performances from the key actors throughout this complex thriller, and if "sleep-murder" is a thing we should all be more concerned about, actually.
