The Founder tells the story of how Ray

Paul Feig is seeking a second chance for ‘Other Space,’ his sci-fi comedy that ran for one season on Yahoo! Screen in 2015. The ‘Ghostbusters’ and ‘Spy’ writer/director has placed all eight episodes of the series online at www.ShareOtherSpace.com with the hope of building a larger fan base and seeking out a new broadcaster for season two. Viewers are encouraged to spread the word across social media by sharing the link alongside a #ShareOtherSpace hashtag. Set in the early 22nd century, ‘Other Space’ chronicles the misadventures of a bickering space exploration crew whose star cruiser ends up lost in an unknown universe. The series holds a 91% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, was named one of the “20 best TV shows of 2015” by Rolling Stone, and was hailed as “The Next Great Comedy” by CinemaBlend. Yet despite critical acclaim, ‘Other Space’ toiled in anonymity on Yahoo’s fledgling streaming service, which has since shut down. “The fact nobody saw it, that’s what makes me c

On this episode we partner up with the world's biggest Michael Pena fan,  Jairo   from the  True Bromance Film Podcast , for an episode on this great actor's films as one half of a law enforcement duo. In new release WAR ON EVERYONE, Pena rampages through New Mexico with Alexander Skarsgard as two cops who spend their days sharing a philosophy of hating any and everyone. This divisive film from John Michael McDonagh has us taking a look back at another film seeking to offend in OBSERVE AND REPORT. In Jody Hill's take on TAXI DRIVER, Pena and Seth Rogen are mall cops on the pursuit of a thief and a perverted flasher.  Something we wish we could say that Jake Gyllenhaal does as Pena's final partner on this podcast in David Ayer's END OF WATCH.   Which of these actors earns the right to ride along with the great Michael Pena?

On this episode Martin Scorsese once again puts his faith in film with new release SILENCE but we look at how that faith may have changed during his career by going back to his earlier work in MEAN STREETS and BRINGING OUT THE DEAD. In the former, Harvey Keitel tries to carry himself as a man of honor and reconcile his life between the church and the streets, while in the latter Nicolas Cage finds himself burned out and questioning himself professionally and personally as a paramedic who can not truly save anyone. All of this and our Top Ten Films of 2016 which may see SILENCE honored once again in this podcast, or it will have to settle for our attempt to match its exhausting runtime with our longest episode ever.

Episode 143 We are counting down our favorite films of the dumpster fire that was 2016 and to provide judgement to our highly unqualified criticism of film, we have two fellow podcasters joining us. Tim Costa of the First Time Watchers Podcast (@1sttimewatchers) and Kevin Thompson (@OptimusSolo) of the Cinema Geeks Podcast are with us to heckle and tell us how wrong Barry is and how glorious Jairo is.

2016 Directed by: Andrew C. Erin Starring: Julie Benz, Fionnula Flanagan, and Belle Shouse Written by: Daniel Farrands Jackie (Julie Bez) is in need of some help, she needs a place to stay. A sanctuary where she can reflect on the past and quiet her demons. The guilt of losing her child and an ongoing struggle with addiction are consuming her every thought. In this regard, Havenhurst appears to be a godsend. An insanely beautiful gothic apartment complex where the rent is what you can afford and the house rules are simple enough: live a virtuous life and you can stay as long as you wish. Break the rules…. A terrifying opening sequence featuring a cameo from Daniel Harris (Halloween 4, The Last Boy Scout, Hatchet) goes a long way to establish the brutal tone of the film. Interestingly, Farrands was also the screenwriter for Halloween 6. A film that was supposed to feature a cameo from Harris. I’m not sure if her appearance in HAVENHURST was in any way a response to her not re
