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.

Debt to Cinema 001: High Noon

The first episode in our new show that is dedicated to reviewing films either one or the both of us has never seen.

This week we are crossing off a quintessential classic from Steve’s list of shame, the real time Western that defies genre.

The episode in which we talk about even more adaptations, watching movies on Apple tech, mononyms, the dream of a Disneyland attraction shared universe event, and cinema breakthroughs being tied to controversial stories.

Two Cents 007: Bond, Corporate Bonds

The episode in which we talk about Sony’s release date calendar, their upcoming 4K Blu-ray tech, PEZ candy/product adaptions, February release dates, and Fantastic Four, because its hard to ignore how much the world hates it.
