CinEffect Podcast's Podcast CinEffect Podcast

In today's episode of the CinEffect podcast, Chris & Alex dive into the various layers of Cloud Atlas. Does it really succeed in its lofty
ambitions? Also being discussed: Silent Hill Revelation 3D is terrible, The Innkeepers is surprisingly effective old-school horror, and Hotline Miami
is an adrenaline rush of a game. Oh, and Chris's voice sounds like God for
some weird reason.

Chris and Alex go in-depth on time travel paradoxes this week to discuss Looper. Also, Borderlands 2 and Torchlight II on the games side of things, as well as Chris's experiences with his new PS3. We're going weekly again, mofos. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Long hiatus aside, we finally come back to look at Paul Thomas Anderson's much hyped The Master and analyze it's many dense themes and concepts. Along the way, we also channel surf through the horror anthology V/H/S, debate the moral ambiguity of Spec-Ops: The Line, and take a brief look at the charming downloadable Steam title Tiny & Big, which features magical underwear. Also: Chris's weird story about a double feature gone horribly wrong.
