Debt to Cinema 008: Witness
This week we watched the critical darling of 1985 that really launched Harrison Ford’s career. One liners, chin beards, cute kittens – this fish out of water film basically has it all. I was trying to come up with a blurb as corny as Steve’s intro, but maize-be thats not possible.
Two Cents 020: When Duty Calls

Debt to Cinema 007: Following
The first selection in my self proclaimed, soft reboot of the show is something I’ve been meaning to watch for 4.5 years. You know when Criterion releases a flick there is something special about it, and this neo noir is no exception. Don’t let this one sit on the shelf like me, digital or otherwise #IdBuyThatForADollar …again
Two Cents 018: Movie Reviews, Us, and The News
The episode in which we talk about Star Wars making more money at the box office than actual releases, Episode 7 coming to Netflix next year, Back to the Future Day, Chris Rock hosting the Oscars, Power Rangers casting announcements, Disney adapting more attractions, the Sherlock Victorian special, and YouTube Red subscription service.

Debt to Cinema 005: Bay of Blood
This week’s selection was a double dipping for me – was more interested in crossing something off my Halloween list than anything I really had shame about. Was pretty scary too, the recording, not the film, when I started fearing it would be the last one I could ever see.
Two Cents 017: Get Down With The Sickness
The episode in which I delay going to the emergency room to record a show about the final Star Wars trailer, The Hateful Eight being longer on 70mm, Jennifer Lawrence’s essay about the pay wage gap, HBO’s show about feminism in the 60s, a Die Hard “pre-boot,” a ton of comic book adaptations on TV, War Games going interactive, and more Lego Batman news. Plus discussion about The Uninvited, To the Wonder, Red Oaks, Unfriended, The Final Girls, and It Follows.
Debt to Cinema 003: All That Jazz
For reasons that escape me currently I decided to go against the grain and select something outside of the horror genre this week. I wanted something that neither of us had seen. Sometimes you get more than you bargained for.
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).
