- TFR 84: The Killing Joke's On You
Austin has said he wasn't going to review The Killing Joke for Comics For Rent, SO we decided to go bigger.
The week we're covering two Batman animated movies that were bafflingly released back-to-back, Alan Moore's The Killing Joke, and Return of the Caped Crusaders, the '66 Batman movie (with returning cast). One is bad beyond belief, and one is Return of the Caped Crusaders (yeah, you knew which we were going to like). Join us as we contrast these two wildly different interpretations of Batman!

As you may well know, Time Travel is an easy way to sell a film for us. Not always, but say it involves time travel, and we're all "go onnnn..". WELL strap in because this week have the mother (and father) of all time travel films to talk about, and we have a guest along for the ride!
We have columnist AJ Muller with us to talk Predestination! A movie that was seemingly dropped into the filmic landscape with no other explanation besides itself, Predestination is impossible to talk about with delving into MASSIVE spoilers, so be warned.. this cast is one giant spoiler. HOWEVER that's not to say that knowing what happens prepares you for the film, because it does not. So grab your seatbelts folks, as we talk Predestination!
You can find AJ Muller's writings at Daily Grindhouse as well as Horror View, where you can read his article on Predestination.

Ho ho ho! Do we have a Christmas present for you!
Thanks to our wonderful patrons (you have NO idea how much fun we are having with a website at our disposal, thankyouthankyouthankyou!), we return with the long-promised sequel to God's Not Dead, aptly titled God's Not Dead 2. Though not as.. toxic as the original, this one is its own special kind of bad. This Little-Rock-shot, Melissa-Joan-Hart-starring bundle of awful makes so much mockery of the legal system, that you'll wish the characters of My Cousin Vinny would swoop in and kick their asses. Oh yeah, and Laura Palmer's father is the prosecuting attorney, so have fun with that.
There's just so much so say about this film that we can't fit into a blog blurb, so join us, won't you, for God's Not Dead: Dead Harder!

Yes, we have two Christmas Specials for you this year! Only one actually having to do with Christmas! At long last we are covering the Christmas classic Love, Actually.
Made in 2003 and inspiration to at least half a dozen holiday-themed films that failed to capture lightning in a bottle twice, this film has, over time, become a Christmas staple along with the likes of neo-classics Elf and Jingle All the Way (wait a couple years, we might cover that one). With the all-star cast, great Brit humor, moving plot threads, and overall Christmas-ness of it, who could hate it?

Welcome to the finale for our series on family films! We end it with what is probably the mother of all family films, the Wachowski's Speed Racer!
A flop when it came out (we know by now that hey, that doesn't determine a film's longevity), this film has rightly become somewhat of a cult classic. We explore what makes this sibling-directed visual feast what is sure to be a family staple for years to come.

Hello hello and welcome!
This episode is very special because - while it is not our first attempt - it is our most successful attempt at recording in person! Al went down to Little Rock to see Austin and Amanda for the first time since their wedding, and while they were all together, they recorded a 2-hour-long live episode!
This is basically a recorded version of Austin's Yearbook column, where we focus on the magical land that was 10 years ago. We do a broad sweep of ALL the major releases that year. Hear us dig up long-forgotten treasures, wax on the films we still love, and on films we don't love so well.
Enjoy this rare live cast! (It'll happen again in July.)
