Ep. 126 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Backcountry (The Bear vs. The Edge)

On this episode we continue to challenge our manhood, but only through a film experience with THE BEAR taking on THE EDGE. This decision to fight a bear and in this case two bear films fighting each other for our movie amusement has been inspired by the new horror film BACKCOUNTRY. Our own Chris Maynard was a part of a press junket where he got to talk with the film’s writer and director, Adam MacDonald.

Episode 144 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Aloha (Jerry Maguire vs. Elizabethtown)

On this episode we look at Cameron Crowe's repeated professional meltdowns, some leading to more cinematic success such as JERRY MAGUIRE and the the familiar formula not working ELIZABETHTOWN.

And we get plenty of that with a triple feature inspired by the new video release BLACK SEA with a submarine battle between two classics in THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER and CRIMSON TIDE. We also give our listeners a glimpse of the process to our movie selection and how ROLLERBALL (the Chris Klein version) will be discussed on another podcast.

Interview with Director of Photography Denis Lenoir Chris Maynard How are you today? Denis Lenoir  I'm great thank you. Chris Maynard Thank you so much for agreeing to do this. I was struck by the power and beauty of Still Alice and want to talk about that film but would it be ok if we talk about some of your earlier work, if t
