First and foremost: our apologies for the delay in this episode release! You may notice a change in audio quality after the introductions. This is because Brett’s rig crashed and died during this recording, and David picked up his slack and was able to provide a backup! (Thanks, David!) Hence, it took quite a bit of editing work to piece together what we had worked … Continue reading 53: The Dark Knight
In this Movie-Go-Round Netflix Roulette, we got our first Netflix Original movie – The Polka King. It was a biopic, and there was a lot of good polka music, and Jack Black and Jenny Slate were in it. Guests Ericca Long and Cole Roulain of The Magic Lantern podcast joined Brett, David, and Nicole in watching it for you. We all dug deep into pertinent questions such … Continue reading 52: The Polka King
In this Movie-Go-Round New to Two, David introduced Brett and Nicole to an older Western. The Magnificent Seven may have been a remake of a Japanese movie and bombed at the box office, but over the years it has become an American classic. What has made this movie endure so well over time? What is it about the characters that makes them so compelling? Is there a stealth gay … Continue reading 51: The Magnificent Seven
In this Movie-Go-Round, You Did This to Us! Brett made the fatal mistake of railing against The Bodyguard on an earlier show, so our perverse listenership decided we just HAD to see it. It’s filled with pop ballads, “cool” masculine tropes, illogical behavior on the part of just about everybody, and a lot of Kevin Costner flying through the air. Did Nicole, Brett, and David survive? Did they … Continue reading 50: The Bodyguard
In this Movie-Go-Round Around the World, David, Brett, Nicole, and special guest Phil Rood of the Brokebot Mountain podcast dove in to a dark and fantastic world in their discussion of Pan’s Labyrinth. Listen to us “faun” over the awesomeness of actor Doug Jones, dissect the directorial flair of Del Toro, and ponder the big questions: Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Next week … Continue reading 49: Pan’s Labyrinth
In this Movie-Go-Round Future Classics, Brett brought David and Nicole a fast-moving genre flick with thick accents and thicker…fur? In Attack the Block, hidden amid the fireworks of Guy Fawkes night, aliens drop in at high speed into a low-income apartment tower block. John Boyega makes his film debut and shows what “star quality” means, as he and his gang of teenage hooligans team up with the … Continue reading 48: Attack the Block
In this Movie-Go-Round Netflix Roulette, the team watched Swordfish, the awful John Travola film you definitely shouldn’t watch. This was our last week before switching a bunch of equipment, however, so we wanted to put something else in your feed in its stead that was higher quality and featuring the same guest! They’re blue, reproduce with their tail-braid-things, and the story is 100% original: it’s Avatar! Join … Continue reading 47: Avatar
In this Movie-Go-Round New to Two, Nicole went for a change of pace, choosing a 1998 film with a tight script, playful cinematography, solid performances from a host of “Hey, it’s that actor I like!” people, a cool jazzy soundtrack, and sizzling sexual chemistry between the two leads. Steven Soderbergh is one of the few directors who could carry off this mix of caper flick and forbidden … Continue reading 46: Out of Sight
This week’s Movie-Go-Round was originally going to bring you Legally Blonde – that’s what you voted for on You Did This to Us. The Great Hard Drive Crash of 2018 came and went, though, and Legally Blonde looks like it was the last episode to get caught in the undertow. So, we dug back into the Geek Cinema Society Archive to remaster an episode and … Continue reading 45: Starship Troopers
This week’s episode of Movie-Go-Round is a special one! (In part, because a hard drive crashed and we had to get creative…) While we unfortunately lost our discussion of Suspiria, we decided to record some thoughts on the film again, which you will hear at the top of this program. After that, you’ll be tuned into an episode of Geek Cinema Society, the first film … Continue reading 44: The Rocky Horror Picture Show (+ Suspiria)
