  • The Secret of Karma
    Is it scientology? Is it Terryology? Is it some kind of pagan ritualistic cult? No. It’s the Secret of Karma, told to you by director and businessman Milan Friedrich. Is this movie trying to teach us a religion? A way of life? A new philosophy about the morals between good and evil? Can Fraser really pull off that outfit and make-up? One can only watch the movie in its entirety to know for sure… or you can just listen to this episode about it and spare all of the headache.

  • Line of Descent

  • The Nut Job

    It's Sunday 2014, you just got out of 10:30 mass with your family. After Mom finishes talking to all of her church friends while you, your siblings and Dad are waiting by the car; Mom mentions the prospects of going to the movies. You're in high school, but as the oldest you also have two or three younger siblings in middle/elementary school so Birdman is out. That's when your youngest sibling votes for The Nut Job. You already know your vote isn't going to count for much so you agree. You all sit down in the theater, the lights dim, and that's when you hear it. The techno bass beat rings in the theater, and you ask yourself: "Are they really starting this movie off with PSY's 2012 masterpiece Gangam Style?"

  • Mob Land
    The Travolting boys do a quick pit stop back to our original guy, Travolta the man himself. Mob Land takes an interesting approach when it comes to the idea of what Travolta can do in movies, because once you watch this you’ll understand that Travolta just needs to stop trying to play the grizzled tough guy sheriff.
