On this episode we're talking about the first in a series of films that are loved just as much as they're hated. TWILIGHT. Just like we do with all movies, we take a fair and reasoned approach to this first film and find out what does work, and of course what doesn't (There's surprisingly a lot in both categories!). 

In this week's episode we discuss M. Night Shyamalan's defining debacle: THE LAST AIRBENDER. It's a film that totally botches adapting the show upon which it was based on. Sure, there are certain aspects of the movie that sort of work, but let's be real, this isn't what anyone asked for. What are your thoughts on Shyamalan's "epic"?

We talk about farts a lot in this episode. Thoughts?

What better way to celebrate our 150th episode than cover a mixed bag of a sequel whilst understaffed and mildly inebriated. That's right, it's TRON: LEGACY time, and while we found that the movie never reaches its full potential, it still does a lot of things right and aesthetically, it's pretty much bullet proof. The big question, though, is does it do enough to surpass the original? What are YOUR thoughts on TRON: LEGACY?

On this episode we talk about TRON! There are discussions about whether or not this film deserves its status as a classic, what it did for CGI, Jeff Bridges' ability to inject life into even the most lifeless projects and we also go off on one too many Robocop tangents. What are your thoughts on Tron?

On this episode we jump into the world of ENDER'S GAME. It's a movie based off of a surprisingly dark science fiction YA novel. One of us has read the book and the others haven't. Guess who is disappointed?
