June 08, 2015Ep. 018 - Entourage
This week, Garry, Red and Scott hang out in the Nostromo Lounge
and discuss just how perfect and hilarious life would be if FEAR
FACTOR: THE KARDASHIANS was actually a real thing, we look at Alex
Winter's brilliant documentary DEEP
WEB; covering the Silk Road online drug marketplace and the
shitstorm that is the Ross Ulbricht case, Cameron Crowe's bizarre
"apology" in regards to casting Emma Stone in ALOHA as a character that is intended to be one
quarter Chinese, high praise for Mike Judge's phenomenal,
nano-budget, instant cult classic IDIOCRACY and much, much more before our featured
review of ENTOURAGE from producer/creator/director
Doug Ellin.
So gather up E, Turtle and Drama, hop into your 2011 Cadillac
Ciel convertible concept car, see if you can last longer than 30
seconds with UFC champ Ronda Rousey and let's try to complete

June 01, 2015Ep. 017 - Kingsman: The Secret Service
Welcome to the show! This week, Mike, Red and Scott hang out in
the Nostromo Lounge and try to determine just how tall you need to
build a mountain of cocaine in order to greenlight the ludicrous
1985 gymnastics-based martial arts film GYMKATA,
the competency of the shotgun sawing skills on display
in KILLING THEM SOFTLY starring Brad Pitt, what sort
of a world we live in where humanity needs a gritty POINT
BREAK reboot, we discuss how effective the shaky cam
approach is to cinematography in war films like MONSTERS: DARK CONTINENT, and much, much more
before our discussion of the internet soaked, Swedish magnum
opus KUNG
FURY followed by our featured review of suprise
hit KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE from director
Matthew Vaughn.
So gather Lancelot, Galahad and Merlin into Fitting Room 3,
double check your SIM card, get struck by lightning and bitten
by a cobra at the same time, hop on your Laser Raptor and let's see
if we can defeat the fearsome Kung Führer as well
as billionaire 'philanthropist' Richmond Valentine.

May 26, 2015Ep. 016 - Good Kill
This week, Tim, Red and Scott hang out in the Nostromo Lounge
and discuss the somewhat forgotten, but somehow still relevant,
V FOR VENDETTA, the excellent Fox TV series
LAST MAN ON EARTH with Will Forte, the
painfully heart wrenching and completely psychedelic documentary
COBAIN: MONTAGE OF HECK on the
personal life of the late Kurt Cobain, the arbitrary North American
practice of singing the National Anthem(s) at sporting events,
everything that WORLD WAR Z lost and squandered during its
journey from novel to screen and much, much more before our
featured review of Ethan Hawke in GOOD
KILL from producer/writer/director Andrew Niccol.
So gather up your freshly manipulated national pride, choke down
any lingering thoughts of morality, renounce virtually all existing
rules of war and let's see if we have what it takes to "serve our
country" in brutally efficient, real-world videogame combat
scenarios while sipping coffee from the safety and comfort of our
air-conditioned battle stations.

May 19, 2015Ep. 015 - Mad Max: Fury Road
This week, Rob, Red and Scott hang out in the Nostromo Lounge
and discuss the refreshingly unexpected "Pre-apocalyptic" nature of
the original MAD MAX from 1979, the revolutionary and genre
defining masterpiece MAD MAX 2:
THE ROAD WARRIOR, what factors led to the criminally underrated
Doug Liman flick EDGE OF TOMORROW, whether or not shooting on 65mm film
is a wise decision for Quentin Tarantino's next film THE HATEFUL EIGHT, our excitement for THE
LOBSTER; a delightfully insane looking new dark comedy
debuting at the Cannes International Film Festival this week and
much, much more before our featured review of the absolutely
staggering achievement that is MAD MAX: FURY ROAD from visionary writer/director
George Miller.
So gather up all the WarBoys, spray some chrome paint into your
mouth, dust off your old Tina Turner records, shave off just one of
your eyebrows, and let's start siphoning guzzoline into the air
intakes of our V8 Interceptors.

May 11, 2015Ep. 014 - Headhunters
This week, we jump into the wayback machine to March 29th, 2015 and
join Red and Scott in the Nostromo Lounge while they discuss the
apparent absurdity of trying to compare TRUE DETECTIVE to Joss Whedon's FIREFLY, whether or not Peter Weller is a good fit for
the caped crusader in the animated film BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, the criminally
underrated and extremely rare Director's Cut
of WATERWORLD and much more before our featured review of
the acclaimed 2011 international thriller HEADHUNTERS from Norwegian director Morten Tyldum.
So gather up Roger Brown's stolen paintings, check your seat for
poison-needle boobytraps, squeeze between two 350lb police officers
and see if you can successfully sneak your way through the cold and
unforgiving world of Norwegian GPS satellite
conglomerates.

displeasure with the entire robot film subgenre altogether
while simultaneously praising THERE WILL BE

COOL HAND LUKE original novelist Donn
Pearce, our thoughts on who should replace the woefully
inexperienced Josh Trank after his abrupt departure from the second
Star Wars Anthology spin-off and much more before our featured

and discuss the first trailer for BLACK MASS (and possibly a long-awaited return to
form for Johnny Depp?), the tumultuous career of Robert Zemeckis, a
bizarre and extremely unique monstrosity of a picture called
JUPITER ASCENDING, and much more before our featured
review of the acclaimed sci-fi dramatic thriller, EX
MACHINA from long-time screenwriter, first-time director
Alex Garland.
So gather up your Voight-Kampff machines, call in Rick Deckard,
program your Droid detectors and let's see if we can determine
which one of us is truly demonstrating human emotions and which one
of us is only simulating them.

and discuss the utterly ridiculous Australian action comedy TV
series DANGER
5, the comparative I.Q. levels of BATMAN V SUPERMAN, whether or
not Andy Weir's novel THE MARTIAN can be considered "science fiction",
the galaxy shattering second teaser trailer for STAR WARS: THE
FORCE AWAKENS and much more before our featured review of the
acclaimed 2001 cult "classic", POOTIE
TANG from writer/director Louis CK. Things don't really go
so well for all of us.

This week, Dan, Red and Scott dedicate an entire show to
the gaudy monstrosity of gloriousness that is the undying Fast
& Furious franchise. We discuss everything from the
viability of lifting handprints from bikini bottoms to a film
studio accidentally stumbling into a shared universe one quarter
mile at a time.
So gather the family around, put some Coronas on ice and let's
all pray together about turbochargers and intercoolers.
