This was recorded like a week and a half ago, so you better hurry and listen before the Academy Awards. Also there's movie club and expired opinions on Black Panther 0:00 -- Movie Club: The Chant of Jimmie Blacksmith 36:36 -- Black Panther 1.02:19 -- Jeremy on Jimmie Blacksmith 1.13:15 -- Next movie club discussion 1.15:13 -- Academy Awards hopes D…

Mostly Sundance movie talk. Plus a new and unnecessarily complicated version of the Critic Game! 0:00 -- Sundance intro 1:45 -- Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot 3:50 -- Pity 6:25 -- Generation Wealth 7:47 -- Our New President 8:53 -- Piercing 12:12 -- Three Identical Strangers 14:16 -- Mandy 15:37 -- Summer of '84 16:43 -- Hereditary 19:02 -- …

Just some Last Jedi talk. Obviously. What else would we be talking about right now? Apologies regarding the comments about driving toward the end. Download here!By Zo

The big news is the new theme song. The other news is a report of summer movies including the revelation of who won the stakeless Critical Game! We also adjourn Movie Club for a forgetful report of The Friends of Eddie Coyle. 0:00 -- Summer movie review '17 43:00 -- A quick dip into television 59:40 -- The Friends of Eddie Coyle 1.19:42 -- Critical…

Jon, Jeremy, Steele, Zo. Primary focus on Movie Club this time around with the 1985 William Friedkin forgotten gem, To Live and Die in L.A. Also, other stuff. See programming schedule. Prologue -- Wonder Woman prehistory 2:00 -- Movie club: To Live and Die in L.A. 48:30 -- The end of Split 1.05:15 -- Alien: Covenant 1.20:24 -- Preliminary scores fo…

As usual we bicker about current movies (Get Out) and go over our current movie club pick (Papillon). Stick around to the end, though, when Jeremy, Steele, and Zo make their picks for what this summer's most critically-acclaimed blockbusters will be ("they all suck"). Prologue -- The Mummy trailer 2:45 -- Guardians of the Galaxy 18:50 -- Spinal Tap…

Oscars and coincidences first of all. Then some movie talk about: Logan I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore Get Out The Greasy Strangler Split Split Flash Gordon We look forward a little bit to Kong: Skull Island Then a Zo monologue about Robert Osborne and old Hollywood movies. Somehow there's a divergence into Cannon movies to binge on. Do…

Here's what we got: - Sundance best/worst - A disagreement about the merits of La La Land - Oscar general picks - Etc. Download here!By Zo

Here's part 2 of the forum results of Madbeard, Steele and Zo. This time, Zo's report on a month of terrible Halloween movies. Also some diversion dialogue regarding Doctor Strange and the current state of Marvel movies. A tangent about the upcoming Wolverine movie somehow led to a tangent of Ryan Murphy shows we don't appreciate (which obviously l…

Madbeard, Steele and Zo get a quick Sing Street chat in before resuming the grand Movie Club experiment with a discussion of Capricorn One. We get all this along with a reveal of the next Movie Club pick and, of course, the usual tangents. Download here!By Zo

Hey I spoke to Rhett for a couple of hours the other week. Trust me, it was a great conversation that tackled a lot of elements where business and entertainment meet. Please keep in mind it was recorded just a bit ago (during the RNC), so that will explain the anachronisms. Some topics: 1. Melania speech 2. The nature of podcasting 3. Advertising 4…

So we kick off the Movie Club project with a real winner, if by winner we mean the best case of European child abuse in the 1970s. Fernando Arrabal's Long Live Death is confounding, surreal, thought-provoking, but also quite bad. Even so, it yields stimulating conversation despite mild disagreement on what the film is actually saying. We tangent sl…

We resume a conversation about Batman movies with a little bit of 10 Cloverfield Lane for good measure. Ultimately, however, the conversation angles more toward our culture of amateur film criticism and how that affects storytelling in the 21st century. It's our usual drivel. This was recorded the same night as Geeking Off 154. You get Madbeard, St…

The Batman/Superman conversation meandered off to Netflix, Stephen King, Spike Lee, The Cure, David Cross, Sally Field, Disney, Vanillaroma, Fantastic Four, Ant-Man and a bit of time on the Rogue One trailer. Afterward we tell a genie joke and start up a plan for future b-movie watchings. Then we mention David Gordon Green somehow. Also Jeremy brea…

Jeremy, Jon and Scott discuss movies with a quickie talk about the pre-Oscars (including a very white version of some of the controversy) along with Sundance talk and anticipation of some of the upcoming movies for this year. A year from now we'll look back on all this with some pretty intense hilarity. 0:00 -- Jeremy's Raiders!: The Story of the G…

Our final Star Wars commentary is behind us! We had some outside commentary suggesting that this one is the best. Admittedly, it is pretty good. Very nice to see this one again. It's actually been a lonely long time since I've seen it. One thing that has been pointed out to me that I forgot to mention about this movie -- notice how the evil Empire …

This one's long overdue. Fresh off our Empire Strikes Back commentary, we spill into a somewhat ignorant analysis of the main Episode VII trailer. Yeah, that one that has the Empire Strikes Back music in it -- not the international one. We also provide somewhat of a wishlist for the new movie. It's coming soon and I for one have never been more ske…

Jon, Scott and Phil for this movie commentary. Empire's considered the best. Does it hold up? What hasn't been said. Listen and watch if for no other reason that it's a great flick. Watch The Empire Strikes Back along with us. Movie starts at 1:27. Download here!By Zo

Hey hey, we're taking a short break from the Star Wars commentaries just a tiny bit. This one here's a one-on-one with Jon and our visiting Geeking Off girl Stephanie to talk a couple of quick things. Salt Lake's Comic Con happened a couple of weeks ago and both of us have a mild report of what we saw. Hey, ever hear of a hot new TV show called Mr.…

That's right. Not Episode IV. Not A New Hope. Star Wars. We watch the original theatrical version with its lovable flaws and all. You'll hear five voices: Madbeard, Zo, Steele, Chad and Phil. Yep. It's a Star Wars party. I don't think Luke is that whiney. Listen in. Download here!By Zo

We continue the Star Wars commentary with Episode III! Is this the best or worst of the prequels? It starts with a huge battle, but then again that battle has a coughing robot. It's grittier, but then again it's more CGI-y. Hayden Christensen's even whinier, but then again his hair is pretty fabulous. Phil joins again along with Chad and Steele. Jo…

On to Episode II! This one's just a little rougher. I feel its roughness answers the question regarding whether Episode I or II is superior. This time it's just a very low key Chad, Steele and yours truly. Join us for the movie and stay for the only slightly subtle sarcasm. Download here!By Zo

Anticipating the release of Episode VII, we're gonna try to pack in a commentary of each Star Wars movie before then. Should we have started with Episode IV? Probably, but this is our big chance to watch 'em in this order. Download here! (this is another Geeking Off/Jon Madsen Movie Commentary hybrid)…
