August 11, 2015Ep. 026 - Fantastic Four
This week on the podcast, Ryan, Red and Scott meet up in the
breezy Nostromo Lounge and discuss the hilarious New Zealand
mockumentary horror film WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS from Jemaine Clement of
'Flight of the Conchords', Chris Farley's recently surfaced vocal
tests for SHREK recorded just before his unfortunate death
in 1997, we ask what kind of a cruel and sick universe would
allow the existence of a feature film about PEZ dispensers, we match up CON-AIR vs. THE
ROCK and see who comes out on top when it comes to 90's
Cage action, we look at the recently announced Sony Pictures film
slate through until 2019 including BAD BOYS
III and BAD BOYS IV, we say farewell to Jon Stewart as the
sixteen year host of THE
DAILY SHOW and much, much more before our featured review
of the absolute Trankwreck that is FANTASTIC FOUR from sophomore director Josh
Trank.
So gather up your best science fair experiments, securely
fasten the door latch on your interdimensional
teleporting chamber, blow the dust off your "One Year Later" title
card and let's see if we can cause over $100,000 to our New
Orleans house rental before we not only lose the STAR WARS
ANTHOLOGY gig, but get our asses kicked out of Hollywood
forever.

August 04, 2015Ep. 025 - Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation
This week on the show, Tim, Red and Scott meet up in the
Nostromo Lounge and discuss J.J. Abrams apparently breaking
his back attending to Harrison Ford's broken leg on the (cursed?)
set of STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, the bizarre and
slightly force-fed nature of the entire MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE film franchise,
whether or not Ethan Hunt and Jason Bourne are actually the same
person, Channing Tatum officially signs on the dotted line for
GAMBIT while Red drags Scott by the
collar to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters for a lesson on the
true badass level of everyone's favourite Cajun superhero, we
look at the fantastic Netflix Original series WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER: THE FIRST DAY OF
CAMP exceeding expectations for a film to TV adaptation,
the financial viability of creating expensive original
content and how Netflix gauges success in a subscription based
world, Tim talks about James Gandolfini's final film performance in
THE DROP with co-star Tom Hardy, and much, much
more before our featured review of the wholly unnecessary MISSION:
IMPOSSIBLE - ROGUE NATION from writer/director (and
scientologist?) Christopher McQuarrie.

July 28, 2015Ep. 024 - Trainwreck & Southpaw
This week on the podcast, Red and Scott go old school and meet
in the Nostromo Lounge and discuss James Franco acting
all "spicious" as Alien in Harmony Korine's SPRING BREAKERS, the ultimate inevitability of
SPACE JAM 2 entering our atmosphere with Lebron
James officially signing a film deal with Warner Brothers, the
cultural relevance of the entire Looney Tunes crew in 2015 for that
matter, Red jumps on board the MR. ROBOT hype train where absolutely no
BlackBerry is safe, Mike Judge continues to kill it with SILICON VALLEY, we look at George R.R. Martin's choice words for Marvel
Studios and their lackluster buffet table of
flavourless, undercooked villains, the majesty and
brilliance of mashing up R/C cars and Soccer in the glorious
multiplayer game ROCKET LEAGUE for PlayStation 4 and PC, whether
or not Hugh Jackman can make it through his first big hacking
assignment without blowing his .WAD file in SWORDFISH from 2001, and much, much more before
our featured review of Amy Schumer's TRAINWRECK followed up by a quick left jab from
Jake Gyllenhaal in the boxing drama SOUTHPAW from director Antoine Fuqua.

July 21, 2015Ep. 023 - Ant-Man
This week on the show, Mike, Red and Scott meet up in the
searing hot Nostromo Lounge and discuss the debut trailer for
Alejandro Iñárritu's THE REVENANT and the challenges involved with
shooting a film exclusively in natural light, the new USA Network
program MR. ROBOT featuring the fantastic Rami Malek, Red
fires a heavy salvo of warning shots across the bow of BlackBerry
owners everywhere, we look at the exhilarating suspense of TOUCHING THE VOID and the murky definition of
"docudrama", the STAR WARS Machete Order on being the most
'ethical' approach to introducing a rookie to the Star Wars
universe, Mike somehow managing to give AMERICAN SNIPER a fair shake and much, much more
before our long awaited, Edgar Wright-less review of ANT-MAN from director Peyton Reed.
So dig up your old VHS copy of HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS, try not to get fired on your
very first day at Baskin Robbins, head over to your cousin
Ignacio's Neo-Cubism exhibit, see if you can tell your bullet ants
from your carpenter ants, stabilize your Pym particle and let's get
a short glimpse of quantum reality before we all violate the
laws of Newtonian physics.

complete maniac in the immortal classic FALLOUT
3 from Bethesda Game Studios, we look at Vince Vaughn
playing against his usual comedic typecasting in season 2 of
TRUE DETECTIVE, the latest Reddit meltdown

how GALAXY QUEST with Tim Allen and Sigourney
Weaver seems to only get better with age, the absolute majesty and
filmmaking perfection of G.I. JOE: RISE OF COBRA featuring
Tatum & Wayans, whether or not GRAVITY or THE MARTIAN can be truly considered part of the
science fiction genre and much, much more before our featured

Lounge and discuss the tragic passing of composer James
