  • Reviews – Boys Under The Skin, Sports Over The Top, Stupid Birds, Nic Cage, Vampires!

    Covering Under The Skin, Rio 2, Joe, Draft Day and Only Lovers Left Alone
    This week, Katey is out and Da7e is in, joining Review regulars Matt and David as they do everything in their power to not talk about The Raid 2 expanding. That’s right, this week’s review segment is obsessed with the multiple layers of Jonathan Glazer lyrically cryptic Under The Skin. Then, it’s a catch-all of other things you could see this weekend, with Patches and David talking NFL drama in  Draft Day, Patches and Da7e on David Gordon Green’s Joe, David on Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alone, then Patches warns all against Rio 2. All that, plus YOUR favorite unconventional horror villains!

  • 018 – The Workmanlike Sweet Spot For Changing Hearts And Minds

    Plus each host’s Nic Cage impression!

    This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David take on this exact moment in the cultural landscape in three distinct ways: First, Da7e has seen and enjoyed Captain America: The Winter Soldier but gets very confused once he starts drawing parallels to the reviled Iron Man 2. Also, Patches is convinced that Fox’s Cosmos is aggressively drawing a line against Creationism while Da7e suggests it’s time to take a stand against religion in science-based programming. Can Katey and David unlock the antlers of these sparring bucks? Also, in celebration of this week’s Joe, each podcast host choses a Nicolas Cage line and delivers it in their best Cage impression and in recognition of Oculus, a lighting round question about unique horror villains.

  • REVIEW – Cap’s Back: Winter Has Coming’d

    Et tu, Bucky?
    This week, Katey, Patches, and David uncover Marvel’s diabolical plot to take over the world. Or churn out half-decent action movies. One or the other. From S.H.I.E.L.D.’s high-tech war room, the FITWR crew dukes it over Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Does the ’70s conspiracy thriller throwback offer a brainier brand of action or is it a regular Dum Dum Dugan? That and your lightning round answers on America’s real movie hero on this week’s episode.

  • 017 – How I Met Your Zeitgeist

    Plus A Mid-Episode Post-Credits Scene Discussion.

    This week, Katey, Patches, Da7e and David convened on Sunday to discuss the How I Met Your Mother finale and how this filmed-in-LA sitcom about friends in New York closed out it’s 9 Season run. Then, David wants to talk about just how much critics are supposed to plug into the greater cultural zeitgeist, wondering if it’s irresponsible for any serious critic to have, say, NOT seen The Avengers. That plus real American heroes and a brief discussion of Marvel’s credits scenes inspired by Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier.

  • Review – And God Told Noah, ‘You Shall Build a Podcast’

    Plus, maybe The Raid 2 isn’t the greatest fight movie of all time?
    This week, Katey, Patches, and David destroy mankind with a flood of opinions on Noah, the Biblical epic from Black Swan director Darren Aronofsky. Was it a religious experience or 40 days and 40 nights of an overblown blockbuster downpour? As a bonus, Patches and David punch their way through the universal praise of The Raid 2 to figure out what it does right and wrong. All that and your answers to this week’s lighting round on movies too gory to enjoy.

  • 016 – Cold War II Green-Lit After Director’s Previous Indie Success

    Plus Bible Movies We’d See.

    This week, Da7e takes a much-deserved vacation, leaving Katey, Patches, and David to worry over the government’s interference in their lives. Or maybe those are the lingering feelings left from catching up with Three Days of the Condor and Manchurian Candidate, two conspiracy thrillers reflecting Cold War and present day mentalities. After shaking their paranoia, the trio turns their attention to indie directors’ blockbuster ambitions, a discussion sparked by Darren Aronofsky’s Noah. And in a rare moment of religious positivity, a mini-segment dedicated to Bible stories that deserve an on-screen treatment. All that and a Raid 2-inspired lighting round question, in this week’s Fighting in the War Room.

  • Review – A Podcast In The Wall Where The Boys And Girls Can See It All (Parts 1 &2)

    SSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEXXXXXXXXX!
    This week we’ve decided it’s finally time to share our deep feelings about fly fishing, as we review Lars von Trier’s new film Nymphomaniac (or two new films, Nyphomaniac Vol. 1 and Vol. 2., depending on who you ask). Is it a proper Socratic dialogue with a lot of big ideas on its mind? Is it remotely sexy with all that flesh on display? Is Shia LaBeouf’s British accent the crime of the century or merely intolerable? All that, plus your answers to this week’s lightning round question about movies featuring puppets.

    Plus David’s Judgement From SXSW.

    This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e are back in New York, and – BY GUM! – the Veronica Mars movie finally came out. While Da7e wears his backer T-shirt, stickers and stupid grin, everyone else wants to know what this means for Kickstarter movies and bringing television franchises back from the dead and onto another medium. Also, David reports on his experiences as a SXSW Competition Judge and we all dream cast someone in Star Wars: Episode VII.

  • Review – Along Time Ago We Used To Be Friends And He Used To Be Jessie Pinkman

    With Special Guests Glenn Dunks and Angie Han!
    The sole surviving War Room combatant, Patches ropes in Australian film critic Glenn Dunks and SlashFilm.com reporter Angie Han for this week’s double-header review episode. First, Patches and Glenn go head to head in a race to the death… or review of Aaron Paul’s new vehicular spectacle, Need for Speed. Then Angie joins Patches to talk Veronica Mars, the long-awaited, long-gestating continuation of the cult favorite detective series. Does it live up fan expectations? Will non-fans dragged to the movie by their “marshmallow” significant others survive the onslaught of nostalgia? Patches and Angie are on the case. We wrap the episode with Lighting Round Questions — and a ton of your great answers.

  • 014 – “But, What About Me?” Asks The Straight White Man

    Spoilers For Season One of True Detective.

    This week, Katey, Patches and Da7e are David-less as SXSW needs its documentaries judged and who better than David to judge things? This week’s answer is: “maybe the other three” as they throw down about the current pop culture crisis of masculinity that was introduced by Devin on last week’s Enemy Review. Then, Da7e has a new style of mini-game for Patches and Katey and the stakes (more podcast planning work!) have never been higher. Finally, the group processes True Detective: what did it all mean? What was the scope of the story and is it your own damn fault if you were let down? Those questions are certainly posed.
