Geeking Off 159: Cool Weather Talk Dos

Here's part 2 of the forum results of Madbeard, Steele and Zo. This time, Zo's report on a month of terrible Halloween movies. Also some diversion dialogue regarding Doctor Strange and the current state of Marvel movies. A tangent about the upcoming Wolverine movie somehow led to a tangent of Ryan Murphy shows we don't appreciate (which obviously led to more Pitch Perfect talk. Also, Zo hates Ghostbusters. Lotta hate this time. Sorry. An apt end to 2016, maybe.

Geeking Off 157: A Short Rhettspite

Hey I spoke to Rhett for a couple of hours the other week. Trust me, it was a great conversation that tackled a lot of elements where business and entertainment meet. Please keep in mind it was recorded just a bit ago (during the RNC), so that will explain the anachronisms.

Some topics:

1. Melania speech
2. The nature of podcasting
3. Advertising
4. Torrents and password-sharing
5. Streaming vs. networks
6. Netflix strategy
7. Other streaming services (I mention that horror movie one. I meant Shudder, not Chiller.)
8. Online shopping and delivery
9. Klosterman's new book
10. Robbing the millenials?
11. Examples of other podcasts
12. Podcast names

Geeking Off 156: Enter the Movie Club

So we kick off the Movie Club project with a real winner, if by winner we mean the best case of European child abuse in the 1970s. Fernando Arrabal's Long Live Death is confounding, surreal, thought-provoking, but also quite bad. Even so, it yields stimulating conversation despite mild disagreement on what the film is actually saying.

We tangent slightly toward the strength of symbolism generally in films as well as a sober wrap-up talk of our own recent filming project.

If you're interested, the next Movie Club project will be Capricorn One.

Geeking Off 155: All Over the Place

We resume a conversation about Batman movies with a little bit of 10 Cloverfield Lane for good measure. Ultimately, however, the conversation angles more toward our culture of amateur film criticism and how that affects storytelling in the 21st century. It's our usual drivel.

This was recorded the same night as Geeking Off 154. You get Madbeard, Steele and Zo.

Geeking Off 154: Superb at Rog Ueo Ne

The Batman/Superman conversation meandered off to Netflix, Stephen King, Spike Lee, The Cure, David Cross, Sally Field, Disney, Vanillaroma, Fantastic Four, Ant-Man and a bit of time on the Rogue One trailer.

Afterward we tell a genie joke and start up a plan for future b-movie watchings.

Then we mention David Gordon Green somehow. Also Jeremy breaks a Geeking Off record for namedrops.

Okay also, some talk about Dario Argento and Salo: 100.

Zo goes on about the panic movement and Italian neorealism.

Jeremy goes on about Peter Bogdanovich, then we mention a lot of Orson Welles stuff.

Oh and part 2 of this conversation is likely on its way.

Geeking Off 153: 2016 Cinema Extravaganza of Festival and Award and Preview

Jeremy, Jon and Scott discuss movies with a quickie talk about the pre-Oscars (including a very white version of some of the controversy) along with Sundance talk and anticipation of some of the upcoming movies for this year. A year from now we'll look back on all this with some pretty intense hilarity.
