Pontypool (2008) Sep 21, 2016

Show notes

Josh Black stepped forth to commission the mind blowing 2008 film, Pontypool. Starring the very underrated Stephen McHattie, and directed by veteran cult filmmaker Bruce McDonald, Pontypool is set in a small Canadian town where a humbled former shock jock takes on the job of talking about the sleepy local news in the wee hours of the morning. And then something big happens. I really can't tell you more without spoiling a great film that should be seen by a lot of people, and right now you can see it streaming from among other places, Netflix, so I encourage you to give it a whirl before listening to this podcast. Things get crazy and "deep" in the way things sometimes do on these podcasts. Do not translate this message.

Snowden (2016) Sep 16, 2016

Show notes

This week's First Run Bald Movie is Snowden, an Oliver Stone movie about famous/infamous NSA whistleblower/traitor/hero Edward Snowden. We don't think this is the movie that will change anyone's minds about the matter, but we do think the topic of privacy, if not Snowden himself, is vital for discussion, and the film is a food springboard for just that. But, does any of this even matter, will any of it make a difference? Enjoy our spoiler free review on us, or join Club Bald Move for a more in depth, wide ranging, and somber discussion of freedom, liberty, and privacy.

Mulholland Drive (2001) Sep 15, 2016

Show notes

Jim and A.Ron tackle yet another community podcast commission, this time for the David Lynch movie, "Mulholland Drive". Things get weird as we experience every human emotion possible and struggle to figure out what the hell just happened. Just know that this podcast is not meant to be interpreted literally, but to be emotionally intuited experientially.

Special thanks to the crew who combined their wallets, Captain Planet style, and summoned this podcast; Anthony B, Mike T, Davey Mac, Ryan Q, Rachael H, galicia73, Fidoz,

Jefferson B, hellogoodbye9, cocoa2mc, Martin K , Michael T, Joby M, and Walker W. Thanks guys and gals, we couldn't do it without you!

Falling Down (1993) Sep 12, 2016

Show notes

Special thanks to Ruben from Boston who selected the 1993 Joel Schumacher drama/thriller/anger-porno "Falling Down" as the subject of this podcast. And it got us thinking a lot about where we were when we first saw this movie, and where we're at now, how this film fits into the pantheon of well made, highly regarded films, how it's aged, and what its meanings are. Plus, we do a bonus retrospective of the strange career of wild excess that is Joel Schumacher.

Sully (2016) Sep 09, 2016

Show notes

It's rare that a disaster movie comes out that isn't completely over wrought, or sensationalized, much less one that is wholly positive and uplifting, but Sully, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks at his Tom Hanksiest, is just such a movie. Even our podcast's automatic pilot system, Jim Jones, was occasionally moved by the gritty depiction of everyday heroism that can not only save 155 souls, but unite a country in a sense of admiration, gratitude, and good will. Plus, we talk crap about new trailers and the unruly elderly audience we enjoyed this film with. Enjoy our spoiler-free review of the movie and trailers, and if you're a Club Bald Move Member, our complete spoiler filled coverage.

Suicide Squad (2016) Aug 05, 2016

Show notes

Jim and A.Ron saw the latest installment of DC's attempt at bootstrapping a mega-billions interconnected super hero franchise, "Suicide Squad". As an answer to question of who you gonna call when an Evil Superman ever comes calling, we don't think it makes much sense, but we're a bit more divided on the questions of "is it fun?" and "is it entertaining?"

Please enjoy our spoiler free review of the movie, and consideration of the trailers for "Wonder Woman", "The Great Wall", "Dunkirk", and "The Magnificent Seven", but if you want to hear our full spoiler filled thoughts on "Suicide Squad", you're going to have to be a Club Bald Move Member.

Jason Bourne (2016) Jul 29, 2016

Show notes

Jim and A.Ron have seen the latest film in Matt Damon's action spy thriller franchise, Jason Bourne, and find it reasonably Bourney, but missing a lot of the improvisational, desperate charm of the earlier installments, and missing a lot of its heart. Please enjoy our spoiler free review of the movie and discussion of the trailers we saw for upcoming fall releases, but if you want to hear our detailed spoiler-filled take on the movie, you'll have to be a Club Bald Move Member!

Star Trek: Beyond (2016) Jul 22, 2016

Show notes

Jim's on vacation, so filling in his spot is Cecily, A.Ron's co-host on the American Horror Story Podcast, True Blood Authority, Penny Earful, and life. A.Ron approaches the film from the perspective of a life long Trek fan, Cecily approaches it more from the casual fan perspective, but both are in agreement that this installment of Trek can best be described as "mediocre". The parts of it that work, really do work, as the effects are top notch and the cast continues to nail their homages to classic Trek characters. It's just that every single other aspect of the film is either generic or poorly executed. Enjoy our spoiler free review, but if you want to hear the full podcast, you'll have to be a Club Bald Move Member. See you next week for Jason Bourne!

Ghostbusters (2016) Jul 15, 2016

Show notes

A.Ron and Jim review the disgusting, ill-conceived, disgraceful actually quite delightful addition to the Ghostbusters franchise featuring a cast of stellar funny women in Kristen Wiig, Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and Melissa McCarthy. The movie delivered solid action and laughs, a few gut busters, inspired performances by a lot of cameo actors who are clearly having a great time, and the correct and satisfying amount of respect and homages to the classic cast, including several nods to the late great Harold Ramis. So, to the dudes that hated on this film from the jump for no other reason than the fact that women had the temerity to re-make it, I got two words for you: Suck it!
