FED Talks fedtalks

It's all movie talk this week as EJ goes to the theater for Inside Out 2, and then re-watches Arrival and experiences the actual madness of Clifford. In the Franchise Report, he finishes the Dirty Harry series after what feels like years, and the Jason Statham Film Festival brings us Homefront, a movie that seems like it's going to be bad but turned out to be surprisingly enjoyable. Mostly good movies this week!

When you’ve got a movie where Jason Statham has only 20 seconds of screen time, you need a great guest to cover it. And we’ve got one with actress and podcaster Katie Wright (Brett Easton Hell Yes)! We talk about the Fast Saga as a whole, unlikely celebrity friendships, Dalton Wilcox, and the undeniable charm of our main guy. It’s a fun discussion that occasionally works its way back to the movie!

This week, EJ has a trivia update and a depressing look inside his birthday celebration. The Acolyte and Hacks are good TV shows, and the Jason Statham Film Festival brings us Redemption (or as some people call it, Hummingbird), a movie that's surprisingly good and almost great.

EJ is pleased to report that he's enjoying the new season of Doctor Who. Also, he had a great time at Furiosa and doesn't care about the box office. In the Franchise Report, the Dirty Harry movies continue to be not nearly as good as he remembers. And the Jason Statham Film Festival brings us the underrated Parker. We're watching things!

One more episode of Ape Talk as EJ remembers when somebody got stabbed at his showing of King Kong (2005) and reflects on comics' greatest gorillas. In the franchise report, the third Dirty Harry movie is eminently forgettable and the Jason Statham Film Festival brings us the mixed bag that is Expendables 2.
Thank you for being a friend!

This week, EJ remembers to talk about the new season of Fargo. Also, he doesn't spoil the wild thing that happens in Sugar but he does mention that a wild thing happens in Sugar. In movie news, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is good, Magnum Force is not, and in the Jason Statham Film Festival, he wanted to like safe more than he did. Plus, he hits 500 issues in his Daredevil reading project and he would like some credit for that.
