Episode 016: Star Trek Beyond

Posted on by thisispatch.

We boldly go where no podcast has gone before to discuss the newest film in the rebooted Star Trek movie universe. Does Star Trek Beyond amount to more than just Fast and Furious in space? And if that’s all it is, is that even a bad thing? The fandom comes out in this one so buckle up and enjoy the conversation as we go full ahead.

Episode 015: Tomorrowland

We take a trip to the awe-inspiring world of Tomorrowland this week and discuss how marketing has a major impact on the expectations of moviegoers. Regardless of story choices, this is a film with a fantastic message about creativity and imagination.

Super 8

Podcast: Reel World Rewind
Guest: Aaron
Synopsis: This month, Blaine kicks of an annual Rewind tradition: Spielberg Summers. But instead of starting with one of the director’s iconic works like Jaws, Jurassic Park, etc., Blaine and Aaron dive into the Spielberg-inspired film Super 8. They talk about the film’s Spielberg-ness and how it wrestles with ideas of love and forgiveness.

Episode 014: Secret Life of Pets

Posted on by thisispatch.

As pet owners we get giddy over seeing what our beloved animals might be up to when we’re not home. But does The Secret Life of Pets have more to offer from its adventure story, or is it too many gags and not enough substance? We discuss our experience with what is undeniably a fun and gorgeous look into the unknown lives of our most beloved companions.

Warcraft

Posted on by thisispatch.

Podcast: Reel World Theology
Guest: Aaron
Synopsis:On this episode of the Reel World Theology Podcast, we get the chance to really “nerd out” about Warcraft, a film that’d arguably been 20 years in the making. From it’s beginnings with real-time strategy game Warcraft: Orcs and Humans to the incredibly popular MMORPG World of Warcraft, Blizzard’s flagship game has influenced countless lives and sucked many hours of life away to the fantasy world of Azeroth. We get together a few current and former players to talk about expectations, video game movies, fantasy epics, and, honestly, take license to embrace our inner geek. Does the Warcraft film scratch that nostalgic itch? We discuss!

Episode 013: The BFG

Posted on by thisispatch.

This week we try not to get our words muggled while we discuss Steven Spielberg’s latest whoopsy waffling film based on a beloved children’s book. The movie presents an opportunity for us to discuss the value of enjoying a theater experience without it leaving a lasting impression and also rave about some amazing special effects work.

Minisode 002: The Shallows

Posted on by thisispatch.

We go deep into The Shallows to examine whether this is just another shark attack movie or something with a little more heart. Part horror, part drama, all awesome is our consensus for this gorgeously shot survivor movie.

Episode 012: Chappie

Posted on by thisispatch.

This week we give Chappie a second chance. Can it possibly be as bad as reviews would have you believe? We think there is an awful lot of good in the film, including some big ideas worth thinking about. We discuss these, Blomkamp’s reputation, and his unique style of filmmaking as we dig into what Chappie can offer us to consider.

Episode 011: Finding Dory

Posted on by thisispatch.

Patrick & Aaron set off on a journey to find meaning in Pixar’s latest animated feature. We promise this episode isn’t in whale language, but we were tempted to try. This picture is more than just its laughs and grins; it tells an important story about living with disabilities, accepting them, and overcoming them. We try to do it justice, as well as have some fun reminiscing about all the fun characters we meet along the way.
