Episode 023: The Goonies

Posted on by thisispatch.

Hey, you guys! This week’s film was determined via listener vote, and you chose a beloved 80’s adventure movie with plenty to talk about. For one of us it’s full of nostalgia and for the other it’s a totally new experience. But ultimately we both land on common ground in thinking that this is one of the most fun and well done adventure films we’ve seen. It’s a great conversation about how when we view a movie affects our experience, and we hope you enjoy.

Episode 022: 10 Cloverfield Lane

Posted on by thisispatch.

We try and unravel the mystery box that is 10 Cloverfield Lane, a film that proves the monster isn’t always what we expect. With great performances, incredible sound design, and a twisty tense narrative, this debut film by director Dan Trachtenberg is one of the year’s best. It even comes with a divisive ending, giving us plenty to talk about this week.

Episode 021: West Side Story

Posted on by thisispatch.

We don’t take sides in this gang war, but we certainly lean more toward love than hate when discussing the all-time great musical. West Side Story is beloved by many, and for very good reason. Its themes of star-crossed love and race in America are handled with some of the best and most unique choreography ever produced. Mix in the many memorable songs and its easy to see why this is considered one of the best musicals ever made.

Episode 020: Sing Street

Posted on by thisispatch.

This week we relish the opportunity to talk about a movie that brings us genuine joy and is unlike anything else coming out of Hollywood this year. There is a purity to the story of Sing Street that will resonate with audiences. We dig into its themes and also spend plenty of time reminiscing about what could end up being our favorite film of 2016.

Episode 019: Armageddon

Posted on by thisispatch.

Aaron & Patrick give a second chance to a film that could also be considered a classic, or at the very least the best disaster movie ever made. Maybe, maybe not, but it’s certainly full of emotional impact, excitement, and explosions. That makes for a fun discussion.

Episode 017: Chariots of Fire

Posted on by thisispatch.

We kick off the 2016 Summer Olympics by talking about arguably the greatest film ever made within the setting. The themes are deep and emotional content wide in this powerful story about class, religion, and honor.

Minisode 003: Negative Film Criticism and Fandom Rage with Andrew Dyce

Posted on by thisispatch.

Special guest Andrew Dyce, editor at Screenrant.com and co-host of the Total Geekall podcast, joins us to discuss a concerning trend of negative groupthink toward films and angry fandom. Using films such as Batman v Superman, Avatar, and Ghostbusters, we try to figure out why moviegoers are so enamored with hating films instead of loving them.
