WTFAWTA

This week we're talking about the 2013 British Film "Locke" starring Tom Hardy as the titular Ivan Locke, a construction foreman on a fateful journey to an uncertain future. Along the way he'll lose most everything he has in his life and get into more than a few heated debates with his back seat sitting ghost dad (played by comedy legend and sex criminal Bill Cosby).

The Predator franchise returns with a relatively stripped down entry in the series that trades spectacle for story, in a move that breathes new life into the mythos and gives cinema the best heroine on film since Furiosa. Is it good? Heck yeah it is.

This week we were going to talk about Jordan Peele's latest film, but when I asked if Alves wanted to talk about the movie he said Nope.

This week we talk about the sobering documentary "Maniac" which follows a week in the life of former child star Elijah Wood as he struggles to maintain equilibrium in a city that has left him behind and desperately struggles to control the bitter and resentful homicidal urges that are festering just below the surface of his beautiful man-flesh. 

I say such beautiful things.

This week we discuss the third film in Reddit's "Yellow Light Trilogy", Michael Mann's "Collateral" and dive into what makes a yellow light trilogy movie a yellow light trilogy movie and why Collateral, while still an entertaining film, may not be a fit for this imaginary film trio.

What does it take to become a success in modern day America? That's the question that entrepreneur and motivational speaker Lou Bloom is out to answer for anyone willing to listen. Lord knows that the man was a very important figure in my development into the absolute monster I am today. So, join me and my intern Ryan Alves this week as we discuss Dan Gilroy's "Nightcrawler".

This week we sit down to discuss what is arguably the best film in the so called Yellow Light Trilogy, "Drive". Ryan Gosling stars as the mysterious Driver who works as a stuntman and auto repair mechanic by day and a getaway driver by night, in one of the most elegant crime noir romances ever put to brutalized celluloid. What a winner.

This week, we discuss the second volume of David Lapham's sprawling crime saga "Stray Bullets", wherein Beth, Orson, and Nina have absconded to the quiet little town of Seaside in the hopes that they can leave their troubles behind. But, When your troubles arise after ripping off the mysterious criminal Harry, don't expect that quiet to last. 

On the Season 4 premiere of WTFAWTA, we're discussing "Mad God", the new film from legendary director, producer, and special effects guru Phil Tippett. It's a trippy, psychedelic journey into a hellish netherworld infested by darkness, death, torture, and horrific medical experiments. A far cry from Mr. Tippett's more cheery fun-loving work on Spongebob Squarepants.

The king of body horror returns to theaters, this time with a film 20 years in the making. it's gory, it's sexy, and it's gonna make you wish you were being vivisected in front of a live studio audience. Well, maybe not the last part. So, sit back, relax and crack open a fresh box of Legos as we discuss Crimes of the Future.
