70: ‘The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1’ Starring Jennifer Lawrence
America’s love affair with archery continues as Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 takes over theaters. Or is it America’s love affair with dystopian futures? Or it could be that America just loves a good ol’ fashion cash grab as Hollywood once again opts to adapt the weakest book in a series into multiple films. Either […]
69: Jon Stewart’s ‘Rosewater’ and ‘Dumb and Dumber To’
We’re joined in the War Room this week by JC Corcoran. The legendary St. Louis radio personality stops by to give us his take on Jon Stewart’s directorial debut Rosewater. And along the way we also learn that JC has perhaps and even greater love for tangents than the we do. We also kinda/sorta talk […]
68: ‘Interstellar’ Starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway
Jim Batts from WeAreMovieGeeks.com joins us in the war room this week as dissect Interstellar. Christopher Nolan shoots Matthew McConaughey into space in this ambitious epic full of black holes, worm holes and, um… plot holes. You also get your requisite box office report from Kevin, plus we tackle Big Hero 6. It’s an IMAX sized […]
67: ‘Nightcrawler’ Starring Jake Gyllenhaal w/ Bonus ‘Before I Go To Sleep’
Man, you guys sure must have done some trick and/or treating this weekend because you sure as hell didn’t go to the movies. The combined box office take for the top two films wouldn’t cover the catering budget on an Avengers movie. (But, in all fairness, there’s a lot of carbo-loading going on there.) Anyway, […]
66: ‘John Wick’ Starring Keanu Reeves, Michael Nyqvist, Willem Dafoe
Keanu Reeves is back. I mean, he must be back, right? He says it right there in the commercials. Well, not so fast there Bill (or was he Ted)…we’ll be the judges of whether or not you’re back. It’s Reel Spoilers 66 – John Wick. You’ve been warned. Starring: Tom O’Keefe, Blake Fehl, Joe Buttice, […]
65: Return of the Halloween Movie Fun-Time Special Edition Spectacular
Last year for Halloween we gave you our longest episode ever – Halloween Fun-Time Special Edition (Director’s Cut). Clocking in at almost an hour and forty minutes, we tackled five Halloween movies in five different categories for a total of almost (um…five times five, carry the one or something)…ONE THOUSAND MOVIES. This year we streamlined […]
64: ‘Fury’ Starring Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman
This week we take on Fury the latest from Brad Pitt. Set in the waning days of World War II, Pitt leads a battle-hardened tank crew (plus one newbie) into battle with a gritty take on “The Great War”. Great discussion abounds as we talk about the amoral depiction of U.S. soldiers, some of the […]
63: ‘The Judge’ Starring Robert Downey Jr., Robert Duvall, Vera Farmiga
This week we spoil The Judge and learn that Robert Downey, Jr. can play someone other than Tony Stark or Sherlock Holmes. Who knew? We’re down to three this episode but it’s enough for quorum (that’s kinda-sorta legal talk) so join us as we drill down on the legal wrangling and family turmoil of The […]
62: ‘Gone Girl’ Starring Ben Affleck, Rosamund Pike, Neil Patrick Harris
Don’t listen to this week’s episode. Well, unless you’ve already seen Gone Girl that is. Granted, we have the word “spoilers” right there in our name. But it’s never been more true than this week. Gone Girl is a twisty-turny movie that lives and dies on its spoilers. So see the flick first on this […]
61: ‘The Equalizer’ Starring Denzel Washington, Chloë Grace Moretz
We’re down three members so how will we ever take on The Equalizer? With the help of our first ever in-studio female guest, that’s how! This week we’re joined by Danya from Y98 (KYKY) in St. Louis. Based on a CBS show that nobody under 40 has ever heard of, The Equalizer stars Denzel Washington […]
