    Ep. 037 - Steve Jobs

    For October 27th, 2015, Mike and Scott meet in the Nostromo Lounge and discuss the planet smashing, internet stopping final trailer for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS, we declare that we won't overanalyze a movie trailer and then go ahead and overanalyze a movie trailer, Scott tries to hit the abort button on the downright horrendous catastrophe of a film MISSION TO MARS starring Gary Sinise and Tim Robbins, Mike ventures deeper into the overwhelmingly massive world of game of the year contender THE WITCHER 3: WILD HUNT, we look at the recent announcement of the $9.99/month deluxe subscription service YouTube Red, cancellation of the beloved Discovery Channel series MYTHBUSTERS after running 14 seasons, the absolutely mindblowing short films BEYOND and THE SECOND RENAISSANCE as part of the stunning MATRIX companion piece THE ANIMATRIX, and much, much more before our featured review of Michael Fassbender as STEVE JOBS from screenwriter Aaron Sorkin and director Danny Boyle. So switch off all the Exit signs in the auditorium, be sure to wash your feet in the toilet bowl, give a shout out to the original Apple II team, and let's see if we can finally turn a computer into a painting before we all get our asses voted off the Board of Directors.  MUSIC  The AntiTheory - "Smart Bombs"  SHOW GUIDE  0:00:00 - What We've Been Viewing0:34:10 - News0:59:35 - Review: Dad Jeans: The Steve Jobs Story (2015)  CLIPS  Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer #3 (2015)The Animatrix (2003) CREDITS We are on Apple Podcasts and Spotify!

    Ep. 039 - Spectre

    For November 9th, 2015, Mike, Red and Scott meet in the Nostromo Lounge Studio and discuss the somewhat lukewarm reception to the "live action" WARCRAFT film from Duncan Jones, the brand new Netflix Original comedy series MASTER OF NONE from writer/star Aziz Ansari and the obvious comparison to Louis CK's series LOUIE, the Canadian Premiere of THE TREE INSIDE from our very own co-host Rob Leickner and Michelle Kim winning the Audience Choice Award at the Vancouver Asian Film Festival, Scott shares his thoughts about working on the film and the extremely satisfying process of seeing your work appear on the big screen with a real audience, Mike swings by the big top tent under the doomed Georgia Viaduct for a little bit of CIRQUE DU SOLEIL: KOOZA action, Shane Carruth answers Red's prayers and cuts himself out of the insanely star-studded cast of THE MODERN OCEAN, and much, much more before our featured review of SPECTRE from sophomore Bond director Sam Mendes. So fire up your micro-drill torture chair, ask the Quartermaster to temporarily disable your SmartBlood™connection, do your best impression of a shadowy organisation, and let's see if we can take down Dr. Evil and Mr. Bigglesworth before we all get jumbled up in the falsetto tentacles of Sam Smith.
