On this episode we welcome old Oldboy, new Oldboy, and Karly from the podcasts That Pop This Life and Talking Shondaland to talk about vengeance, eating octopus, and Josh Brolin's lack of body hair.

Its a simple question that acts as the spine of Peter Rogers documentary film. "What is God?" That simple question taken to people from all walks of life and all corners of the globe makes for an interesting examination of what God means to the individual instead of what we are told God is from institutions. The opening of the film feels somewhat like Koyaanisqatsi (without the Philip Glass score) in that we are shown how man is out of synch with nature. Rogers is substituting nature for God in this instance and thereby setting up a personal statement or point of view before examining the thoughts of his interviewees. This film will elicit unique responses from every viewer. The parts that I found amusing could be gospel to another and the moments that I found touching could evoke anger. That's the beauty of this film, its difficult to watch without examining your own personal belief system, whatever it may be. The interviews include a handful of celebrities but t

John le Carre novels have been adapted to the big screen quite well since 1965's THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD, so we thought it was time to butcher his work in podcast form in celebration of new to Netflix streaming A MOST WANTED MAN. Listen as Christopher Maynard doesn't fall easily for Richard Burton, solely to provide clear-eyed criticism usually missing from our show.

Can two serial cheaters get a second chance at love? After a one-night stand in college, New Yorkers Lainey (Alison Brie) and Jake (Jason Sudeikis) meet by chance twelve years later and discover they each have the same problem: because of their monogamy-challenged ways, neither can maintain a relationship. Determined to stay friends despite their mutual attraction, they make a pact to keep it platonic, a deal that proves easier said than done. Fresh, funny, and full of witty insights about modern love, this hilariously heartfelt film "is the rare rom-com that reminds us why we love them so much in the first place" (Time Out New York). Amanda Peet, Adam Scott, Natasha Lyonne, and Jason Mantzoukas co-star.

In episode 46, Peter interviews 80's actress Diane Franklin and get some backstory about Better Off Dead and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, and her book "The Excellent Adventures of the Last American French Foreign Exchange Babe of the 80s". We also get find out which of her roles was her favorite! 

On this episode we are joined by actor Adam Guthrie to attend a cinematic party of CAN'T HARDLY WAIT and SUPERBAD. This extremely white pairing has oddly been inspired by the trailer for the Sundance hit DOPE which just went into wide release in America, and as you will see in our spoiler-free review of this film, there's a lot more to it than just high school hijinks.

Episode 62 We are joined by the good doctor, David Hart of the great show, Pop Culture Case Study, to discuss the great new Pixar film, Inside Out. We pair that discussion with a debate about the best and worst animated characters in movies.

On this episode we look at a comic book writer's universe of creator-owned material making its way to the silver screen with varying degrees of success. We are not talking about Alan Moore (of course), because we said SUCCESSFUL film adaptation, so instead let's move down a few tiers to Mark Millar with the adaptations of WANTED and KICK-ASS battling it out like a good comic book crossover. This is inspired by the new to video KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE, and Bubbawheat from the sites Flights, Tights, and Movie Nights & Channel: Superhero will team up with us to choose a winner.
