Well you have spoken and we have heard your call. This podcast is entirely comprised of listener suggested topics, since you have all proven to be much wiser than us with your suggestions.
For the meaty part of the show we delve into the relevance of animated films and discuss the ones we like and the ones we feel are overrated, or just plain lame. Also, why do we keep hearing more and more about foreign films? Are they just that good, or do people want to be cultured, or do Hollywood movies suck so bad that people have to look elsewhere? As always, we discuss in our own special way. Then to finish things off we discuss the directors of today who will be the titans of tomorrow. Essentially who will be the Kubricks, Spielbergs, and De Palmas decades from now? You may just be surprised by some of our choices and the directions the conversation manages to go in.
Then there’s the usual early podcast rambling in which we discuss nude fight scenes, Owen Wilson, and creative ways to die in a Western amongst other things including a short discussion of Shoot ‘em Up to tide you over until the meat of the show arrives.
Enjoy and discuss!

Well we’re back again with what seems to have become our monthly podcast as of late.
This time we openly wonder what movies we’ll be seeing a couple of summers from now. Will Hollywood get sequeled out? Or will we be seeing part 4 or 5 or whatever of (insert franchise here) in the summers to come? Also, the AFI published another Top 100 list and like any good film geeks we take it to task on some of its selections and omissions. Some of them glaring (I forgot to mention it in the podcast, but how the hell could they overlook Ed Wood to say the least?!?
There is also the usual news and other pre-topic banter. Some of it involving Tom Cruise’s new film Valkyrie, whether or not Transformers will be the surprise hit of the Summer, and speculation on the likelihood of Lindsay Lohan making it through her twenty-first birthday unscathed.
So enjoy and we’ll catch you next time.

STOP THE PRESS! We cranked out a new podcast just over a couple of weeks after the last one! Let’s hope this is the start of a new trend. Although I’m not going to hold my breath. Enjoy at your own risk!
Topics include:
Remakes worth doing and ones to avoid: includes discussion of the recently announced remakes of The Birds and The Changeling amongst many others
Going to the movies these days can be a painful experience. It used to be fun… What the hell happened?!?
Comedic actors that try to be taken seriously. Are these guys clueless or are they on to something?
New Oscars Awards to start dishing out. The Oscars are a pretty dull affair anymore. We’ve got some ideas for new categories to liven things up a bit.

Well we are back with a new podcast this week. It was actually recorded about 3 weeks ago, but we didn’t get around to getting it edited until now. Yes, we’re slackers but hopefully it was worth the wait.
Topics include:
Brief discussion of films we’ve watched lately including Children of Men, Hot Fuzz, Elizabethtown, Idiocracy, etc.
Shia LaBeouf: Who is this guy and why does anybody give a shit?
Why the MPAA is bad for the movie industry.
How the documentary This Film is Not Yet Rated sheds some light on the MPAA situation.
Live Free or Die Hard: Is it worth getting excited about?
Shitty sequels that kill all interest in the series as a whole.
Why Mel Gibson and Nicolas Cage rock!
And a whole bunch of other nonsense involving Bruce Willis, Arnold, and explosions.

Well Episode 3 of the A Fistful of Reviews podcast has been edited and posted for your listening pleasure.
Featuring discussion of all manner of overrated films, as well as movies worth checking out this Halloween, the podcast runs a little over an hour and ten minutes and features a guest appearance by Ben Heckendorn of benheck.com.
The discussion gets a little heated during the overrated movies discussion so be prepared for an, at times, emotional debate featuring some colorful language.

Well for once I have made good on a promise. There is after all, a first time for everything.
So behold!!! The first ever A Fistful of Reviews podcast!!!
There were a couple of technical difficulties here and there and we are still working on the format for the show, but overall it came together quite well. Hopefully you enjoy it.
Anyway, we ripped on, made fun of, and generally discussed the following:
Celebrity Madness (Tom Cruise, Mel Gibson, Lindsay Lohan, etc.)
Snakes on a ahhhh… Who gives a shit?
Movies that we are sick and tired of (Sequels, Superhero Movies, “Begins” movies, etc.)
Download it in MP3 format (opens in just about anything) here:
Server 1 Download
Or subscribe to it here:

Like the rest of the site the podcast is mildly explicit. There’s a couple of F-bombs here and there, but never referencing sex which means if the MPAA were rating this it would probably be a PG-13. The download is 23.75MB and just under an hour long. Hopefully it’s entertaining and doesn’t bore you to death. Feel free to send feedback our way. If you liked it, hated it, have topic ideas, etc. feel free to let us know.
