March 25, 2016 TFR 60: Suntory Time
Hello and Welcome!

This week we hit on one of our favorite films, Sophia Copella's Lost In Translation. We answer some important questions behind the film, such as What is the inspiration? What is the Suntori Time commercial director really saying? Why doesn't Sophia Copella get more work? (That one is actually beyond us.)

On the back half of the cast, we do an Oscar post-mortum, as well as Austin's thoughts on Deadpool, and Albert's thoughts on The Hateful Eight.

Please to Enjoy!

Here's what the Japanese Director is really telling Bob.

Leonardo DiCaprio's Oscar Speech (So beautiful!)

March 22, 2016 TFR 59: Zootopia, Now In Theaters
A FULL EPISODE ON A CURRENTLY-IN-THEATERS FILM? HAVE WE SOLD OUR FORMAT OUT?!

Well no, actually. We both saw Zootopia and WOW, we were floored by what it had to offer. We thought it was the ballsiest Disney film to date for one EXTREMELY hot button reason. We explore these themes and generally wax about what a well built (not perfect, but very well built) film this is. We also compare and contrast with another select film. So join us as we talk Disney's Zootopia!

WARNING: FULL SPOILERS ARE ON! And we mean Everything. Is. Spoiled. If you want to be surprised at all by this film (which we recommend), go see it first. You will not be disappointed.

March 14, 2016 TFR 58: Monkeyfightin' Snakes on a Mondaytofriday Plane!
Welcome to Snakes! But on a PLANE! Whaaaat?

Okay okay, we know it's not 2006 anymore, but you all remember the hype. Now that it has decidedly died down a decade later, we've decided to take a hard look at the merits of the actual film. What are the forces driving such a film? Why did it flop? Remove the hype and lead-up, a what is left? We attempt to answer these questions and more on this week's cast. Join us!

February 29, 2016 TFR 57: Magnolia Opus w/Guest Mason Daniel
Another guest cast? Why, of course!
This week, we invited our friend Mason Daniel to discuss his favorite film, P. T. Anderson's mic drop of a film, Magnolia. We've made a name for ourselves trying to look for the low bar, but this once, we have to pay homage to the high bar; this is probably the best film we've focused the cast on to date. So strap in, because it's going to be a long (but very enjoyable) ride!

February 23, 2016 TFR 56: Kids, AmIRight?
Hello and welcome!
After a brief, mishap-related break, we're back with a classic movie from our childhoods! On the brink of Austin's pending fatherhood, we thought it would be appropriate to discuss Ron Howard's Parenthood! Probably the most realistic depiction of being a parent put to film, and one of Howard's best films, this film gets the full Film Room treatment. We also take the opportunity to talk about Ron Howard himself, the director with the most uneven career in Hollywood. Hope you enjoy our take on Parenthood!

February 14, 2016 TFR Mini: The Force Awakins
Guess which movie we saw?
Okay, so it's a couple months out at this point, but it's no less a hot topic! That's right, Austin and Al went to see the LONG-awaited Star Wars: Episode VII, and needless to say we both loved it! Here, you'll find our initial reactions to the film, our thoughts on how it fits into the overall narrative, the new characters, the old characters, and most important, where it'll go from here. Hope you enjoy!
Moderate Spoilers

BONUS: Al also saw Road Chip. Hear his thoughts on the Patreon soon!

February 08, 2016 TFR 55: X-ploitation w/Guest Zephyr Ash
WELCOME to an episode that has been over a year in the making!

Our topic this week is the state of Christian film, and how it could be MUCH better. Austin, Albert, and guest Zephyr Ash call out a few of the worst examples, including the infamous God's Not Dead. We've also found the bottom of the barrel when it comes to both Christian film AND exploitation, so don't miss that. Please enjoy.

By bottom of the barrel, we of course mean the short Christian Red Scare film If Footmen Tire You, What Will Horses Do?

WARNING: This film is graphically explicit and almost made all three of us vomit. If you have a strong constitution, we feel it's very much worth a watch, however. Just beware and be prepared to look away when the word "eardrum" is uttered. Special Thanks to @FookThis for calling this film to our attention.

Here's an article on The Unknown Movies about this gem.

WELCOOOOOOOME TO LOVELY FHLOSTON PARADISE!
..okay, I was going to write the entire blurb as Ruby Rod, but I lack the energy to do so, as does every writer everywhere except Luc Besson.

Furthermore, we're joined by the Patreon supporter who requested the film, returning guest Amanda Shinn!
We've talked briefly on this film before, but if any film deserves a expanding upon, it's this one. So come on down, you've won exclusive tickets to hear us talk the craziest film we know!

January 22, 2016 TFR 53: Flashback: The Movie
Welcome to the Country!
Isn't it so serene and.. what's that about business fraud? Oh pffffft, nevermind that, just take in the sounds and the.. everyone in the country owns horses, right? That's a totally normal thing? Oh, and Family is important. Family is important. DID WE MENTION FAMILY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING? What, you have dreams? SCREW THEM, FAMILY IS WORTH THE SACRIFICE.
That's a brief scratch-the-surface tour of the movie Nathan chose for us this week. It's such a spectacular failure. Come join us!
