- Reviews – The Sexiest Reviews of Awkward Moment and Labor Day You Will Hear TodayWith Special Guest Amy Nicholson!This week, David and Patches make a pack never to take dates to That Awkward Moment, the new bro comedy produced by and starring the comedic wunderkind Zac Efron. Then we wrangle Amy Nicholson of L.A. Weekly to help us bake a peach pie/make things a little steamier when we review Labor Day, the new film from Juno and Young Adult director Jason Reitman. We’d say who wrote the book it’s adapted from, but she might come after us when we start picking the movie apart.

This week’s music:“Closed Shades” by Crozet“Half Acre” by Hem27 min - 008 – Come For The Spectacle, Stay For The Mass OpiateTrue Detective, American Horror Story, The Grammys – Important Doings On The Tube
This week, Katey, Patches, David and Da7e are all back in one time-zone and I, Frankenstein is still in theaters, so it’s time to turn our attention to the other glowing rectangle in our lives…our laptop screens. Ok, the 3rd Most Important Glowing Rectangle in our lives, the television. Katey and Patches watched The Grammys and Katey wants to know if the variety of performances made it a live event worth watching, Patches wraps up his Sundance 2014 coverage under heavy questioning from David and all 4 dig into the blurring line between film storytelling and television storytelling by touching on HBOs True Detective (spoiler free!).
Oh, and that SCREEN BITES review of Sherlock Series 3 episode 2 that Da7e is on? THAT’S RIGHT HERE.

Not since the days of Contraband has Da7e needed to bring the hammer down on a film in such a way, as it’s revealed I, Frankenstein is actually more about the design of Gargoyles and Demons more than the story of a self-actualizing monster. To help the Da7e monster self-actualize, he brought in returning guest Perri Nemiroff so he wouldn’t be shouting alone, into a void

This week’s music:22 min - 007 – Ms. Carter Goes To PatchDanceWith a Special SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL Update from Matt Patches and Jordan Hoffman!
This week, it’s a Frankenstein episode in the sense that Katey, David and Da7e assemble in chilly New York City to discuss the feminism of Beyoncé Knowles’ December album release and answer a listener voicemail about why so many film reviews choose to not be overwhelmingly negative or glaringly positive. Finally, the torso of the show has been stitched onto the legs in the form of a third segment with Matt Patches reporting from Park City Utah where he and recurring guest Jordan Hoffman have the scoop on this year’s festival so far.
Oh, and that SCREEN BITES review of Sherlock Series 3 episode 1 that Da7e mentions? THAT’S RIGHT HERE.

Do Joaquin Phoenix and Spike Jonze have something convincing and touching to say about technology and relationships or does David just want to squash this film like a bug?

This week’s music:From the Her Original Score by Owen Pallett and Will Butler30 min - 006 – And The 2014 Academy Award Nominees Are…DiscussedWhich of your favorites are discussed and which are dubbed disgusting? This episode is more fun than being kidnapped by savages and being abandoned by all but God.
This week, it’s a very special late episode so we could all process yesterday’s 2014 Oscar Nominations. Matt Patches is in Utah for Sundance and Da7e has been left behind in the cold city to see the screenings no one else wanted to cover. The often intrepid Katey and David draft the ever intrepid Chris Rosen from the Huffington Post to discuss this year’s nominees in a delicious single segment episode of unexpected nominees, glaring oversights and – for the purposes of SEO – SNUBS SNUBS SNUBS.

This week’s music:“Fulcrum & Lever” by The Faint
“1000 Pieces of Light” by Jess40 min - Review – Pill-Poppin’ ‘nd Truth-Tellin’ With August Osage CountyThough this movie and this episode are family affairs, this podcast has no A-List casting. But – Bonus! – also no mouth cancer.If you thought Fighting in the War room was a raucous maelstrom of razor-sharp opinions, wait until you meet the family from August: Osage County. At least, that’s what the filmmakers and performers behind August: Osage County would like you to think (we might still be the crazier bunch).This week, Katey, Patches, and David assemble around the dinner table to throw down over the adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Can it be enjoyed as an expensive game of dress-up or do we have to care about these characters at some point? Will Katey eat her fucking fish? Find out as we review August: Osage County.

This week’s music:“Rehab” by Amy Winehouse“Two in the Water’ by Henry Jackman27 min - 005 – It’s A Bird? It’s A Plane? It’s DEFINITELY Riffing On GoodfellasSuperman, Making Your Own Short Film and Comparing Movies That Are Linked Thematically or by Release Date.
This week, Da7e, David, Patches and Katey are back with the first FITWR of 2014. Da7e and Patches both read Glen Weldon’s Superman: The Unauthorized Biography and learned a ton of facts about The Man of Steel (though not the movie, Man of Steel). But what’s the book’s greater purpose and would you enjoy it? Our FAVORITE listener voicemail EVER finds us giving advice on making a short film, then spend a justifiably long (and spoiler light, if not spoiler free) time discussing the validity of comparing American Hustle and Wolf of Wall Street so closely.

Why, Walt Disney Pictures, of course! Except that Saving Mr. Banks actually glosses over a ton of issues in the adaptation of Mary Poppins, and does wrong by Emma Thompson in the process. Listen as Katey, David, and Patches tear into everything that drove them crazy about this supposedly feel-good holiday offering from the house that Mickey built.
