edwinpobert@gmail.com (Edwin Pobert Ltd.) — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 18:01:00 +0000

So, what's up with you this week? Oh yeah? Me? Oh, nothing much. I just saw a new Indiana Jones movie in the fucking theatre, that's all. What's that? Not sure if it's good? Well GET sure motherfucker! You can use this podcast if you need convincing, if you're ready for the passion of the Hurlburt, and maybe a little six-year-old girl insight too. But really, you and I both know you just need to see it. Or see it again. Or see it again again. Againagain!

Movie Review #10: Prince Caspian

edwinpobert@gmail.com (Edwin Pobert Ltd.) — Wed, 21 May 2008 08:32:00 +0000

Darkman IS the Judeo-Christian God IN The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. Sadly he's not in much of the movie, presumably because Lucy needed to learn a special technique from Yoda in order to communicate with him. Not a lot of other name actors in there, other than surprise guest star "Swilda Tintin" and Eddie "Could've Been Cut Out of Across the Universe and Never Been Missed" Izzard as Kilroy from that Eleventh Hour book. Still, if you like bears with learning disabilities, this one's for you.

Have you noticed that when it comes time to rate the movies on a scale of 1 to 10, even the club members who sounded like they agreed on the quality of the film will have wildly varying scores? Well, it's true anyway. This podcast at long last answers why, while giving you a little insight into our tastes outside of the film grenades we throw ourselves on for you every week. Enjoy!

Movie Review #9: Speed Racer

edwinpobert@gmail.com (Edwin Pobert Ltd.) — Thu, 15 May 2008 17:37:00 +0000

They brought you the Matrix movies, and you brought them internet fanboy bullshit negativity. "Sure, there are cool fights and whatnot, but I'm not 100% with the philosophical elements, so therefore they're shitty. I'd way rather watch Equilibrium again." That's how you repay them. And how do they repay you for your repayment? By making the kind of fan love letter to a childhood favorite of which Michael Bay could never, WOULD never dream. And how do you repay their repayment for how you repaid them? By staying away in droves. I hope you're proud of yourself, America. Enjoy What Happens in Vegas, you sons of jackals. Here's your damn podcast.

Summer Movie Preview '08

edwinpobert@gmail.com (Edwin Pobert Ltd.) — Mon, 12 May 2008 18:53:00 +0000

I understand that you probably have a lot on your mind this summer, with gas prices steadily climbing and the economy steadily falling. Most likely you've been too busy to think, "Hey, what does my favorite film club think will be the best and worst movies of the summer?" Well, not-wonder no more! This, in as clear a fashion as possible, will answer all those questions you haven't been asking for the last few weeks. Sure, we've already given full reviews for a couple of the movies we preview on here, but that just gives you the chance to mock my smug former self for thinking he wouldn't like Iron Man. The 'cast is almost 45 minutes long, but we talked for a solid 12 hours, so you're just getting the cream of the cream, as the French say.

Movie Review #8: Iron Man

edwinpobert@gmail.com (Edwin Pobert Ltd.) — Tue, 06 May 2008 10:14:00 +0000

From the so-money-but-doesn't-even-know director of Elf comes yet another attempt to turn a hit Cardigans song into a mainstream film hero. But did Iron Man succeed where 1998's Christian Slater vehicle Lovefool failed? The team of Robert "Rehab" Downey Jr., Gwyneth "Chris Martin Receptacle" Paltrow and Jeff "That Carpet Really Pulled The Room Together" Bridges do their best to try and make it happen. Heather Werkheiser guest 'casts!

Movie Review #7: Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay

edwinpobert@gmail.com (Edwin Pobert Ltd.) — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 11:03:00 +0000

We take a break from our busy schedule of playing GTA 4 & sleeping to bring you our take on what's likely to be the biggest sequel of the summer: Harold & Kumar 2. When these crazy characters get together you never know what's going to happen! Or, arguably, you know specifically what will happen.

We're back, America! This week we review the only movie starring both Jackie Chan and Jet Li: The Forbidden Kingdom. It was number one in box office takings last week, but was it number one in our hearts?

Movie Review #5: Run, Fatboy, Run!

edwinpobert@gmail.com (Edwin Pobert Ltd.) — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 03:59:00 +0000

Sure, the title's great, but what movie could live up to that? Well, what about one from the creative team of Simon "of the dead" Pegg, "I love the" Michael Ian Black, and easily your 5th favorite "Friend?" This week's podcast is a shorty, clocking in under 19 minutes, and we're all much more pleasant with each other. Isn't that nice?

Movie Review #3: 21

edwinpobert@gmail.com (Edwin Pobert Ltd.) — Sat, 12 Apr 2008 03:48:00 +0000

Yesterday comes three days after tomorrow as we go live with our review of 21, that one blackjack movie starring "Hey" Jude, Verbal Kint, Lois Lane and Morpheus. Arguments rage fierce on this one, so be prepared to cover your ears if you don't want to hear mommy and daddy fight. We still love each other very much.

The future comes today as this week's podcast comes before last week's podcast due to unforeseeable errors! This week we review Leatherheads, the latest movie from that one gray-haired guy. We all agree on one thing: it's better than the shitty-ass trailer!

Movie Review #2: Southland Tales

This week with the aid of DVD technology, we review Southland Tales, Richard Kelly's long-awaited follow-up to Donnie Darko. It was widely panned, but were ALL the other reviewers wrong? Could this, in fact, be a phenomenal artistic success? Listen and see.

Hey, welcome to our podcast!
