Debt to Cinema 011: The Secret in Their Eyes
With the Americanized remake in theaters and Oscar season in full swing, I thought it would be the perfect time to finally finish watching the best movie I’ve never seen in its entirety. Beware: this episode is more spoiler heavy than usual.
Two Cents 020: When Duty Calls
The episode in which we talk about #ForceForDaniel, Jon Stewart coming to HBO, the streaming only Star Trek series, Activision creating a film division, Sony making another Steig Larson movie, Duncan Jones’s Warcraft and Mute, Key and Peele voicing a stop motion flick, Shane Carruth’s next project’s crazy, good cast, and the Luther TV movie. Plus, reviews for Spectre, The Peanuts Movie, Man From Reno, Irreversible, and Netflix’s Master of None.
Debt to Cinema 006: Men In Black
This week’s review is probably something you’ve already seen, Will Smith still having a career is basically proof of that, but somehow Steve never had. Join us as we talk about this summer blast from the past, its sequels, and some trivia too.
Two Cents 015: I Kick Ass for the Lord!
The episode in which we discuss where huge franchises are going, Steven Soderbergh’s next project having interactive narrative paths, Tarantino recording movies on VHS, Taika Waititi being tapped to direct Thor: Ragnarok, Phil Lord and Chris Miller adapting Serial, the next wave of films being transported to the small screen, planes offering “free” movie streaming, and Amazon bullying Google and Apple to support Prime Instant Video. Plus we discuss The Iron Giant, Creep, Baghead, and Peter Jackson’s Braindead (aka Dead Alive).
S2E23: The Walk
As a special treat for one of Steve’s final days in California, we drove out to Hollywood to catch this latest spectacle in the TCL Chinese Theater’s laser projected IMAX 3D auditorium. A one of a kind movie palace which is fitting for the feat that was recreated for the biopic. If only the film was as special as our environment was that day.
Two Cents 013: ‘Tis the Season
The Emmy free episode in which we talk about the death of Silent Bob, Transformers 5 possibly getting Michael Bay back, biopics starring JGL inspired by docs, films that are personal experiences, the hits at TIFF, Pacific Rim 2, POV movies, Hollywood betting big on China, directors being hired for political reasons, Amazon’s 4K Fire TV, and I final feel like watching scary movies + baby reviews for The Visit and Project Almanac.
S2E20: Fantastic Four
What happens when some unproven director who got lucky with his debut tries to tackle Marvel’s first family with a dark, downbeat tone? Listen to me rage and Steve try to protect this failure in our most heated review yet.
S2E19: Shaun The Sheep Movie
A surprise, silent, spin-off, fun for the whole family treat that sadly won’t be watched by many in a year dominated by big budgets.
S2E18: Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation
Tom Cruise proves once again that nothing is impossible for him when he has badass theme music, the question is: should you still care?
