Review #66: The Shape of Water, World of Tomorrow Episode Two

Two reviews AND the FML update in today’s episode. It’s a jam-packed episode.

Statistics #50: 2017 Year-In

Lots of numbers and stats being thrown at you. There’s math and calculations, too. And most of the records I had previously were thoroughly broken by 2017. Here’s to 2018 and to a better year for movies! (That’s what we always want, yeah?)

Scavenger Hunt #17: December Review

Got this one out on time! Had a fun month watching December’s films. I will be taking at least January off to give myself the time to try and round out as many 2017 films as I can in preparation for the 2017 CoFAs.

Statistics #51: Top 10 DecemberBorn Actors

Getting this out there just before the end of the year. A bit of a mixed bag for December with some huge names, names you’ve never heard of, and people I’ve been trying to get off of this list. But this is what we’re left with!

The full list can be found here: https://www.circleoffilm.com/top-monthborn-actors/decemberborn/

Statistics #50: Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

A big film deserves a statistics episode! Lots of movement in the top 50, as well. Plus, the FML update starts around the 29 minute mark.

General #30: Spreadsheet Deep Dive

Finally, a truly detailed expose on the spreadsheet. I try to cover everything that goes in to inputting the data from a film into my spreadsheet. I’d be happy to field any further questions that anyone might have!

Review #65: Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

Uploading just a few minutes late, but here at last! This episode is entirely spoiler free for The Last Jedi. There will be an entirely spoiler version later this week/next week, time permitting. Thank you for putting up with all the delays from my vacation!

General #29: Vacation Week

For the episodes initially intended to be released on Dec. 18th, Dec. 20th, and Dec. 22nd, I am regrettably in an internet-forsaken place that won’t permit me to do a single thing besides upload the smallest files imaginable. It’s not a question of speed, but of unstable connection. I’ve had success uploading such things as my intro themes and whatnot, but any real episode won’t upload on WordPress and cannot reach your ears. I am sincerely sorry and will seek to rectify this ridiculous reality that my grandparents live in. Without going into too much detail, I intend to record episodes while on vacation and then release six episodes throughout Christmas week: the 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, and 30th. I also apologize for the lack of an FML update, but I will attempt to post on one the Cinereelists FML Chatter when possible.

Currently planned episodes: Last Jedi Review, Last Jedi Statistics, Spreadsheet Deep-Dive, DecemberBorn Actors, Scavenger Hunt Review, and TBD.

In the meantime, I’ll be working on preparing future episodes and making sure an incident such as this won’t occur again. Final apologies! Have a week!

General #28: 2015 Circle of Film Awards!

Great news, everybody! I found this episode lying about in the archives and have touched it up and can share it with you! 2015 was a different era when episodes of the Circle of Film Podcast were much longer. I’ll warn you now, it breaks the 4 hours mark. Maybe best listened to in doses. And hopefully I’ll be able to find some of the other years before this one if I keep digging!

(It’s not from the archives. I just pretend it is.)

Statistics #49: The Disaster Artist

There are so many people in this movie. Maybe too many? At least, according to IMDb, perhaps. FML update starts around the 39 minute mark!

Review #64: The Disaster Artist

Not going for low hanging fruit in this description, nor am I affecting Wiseau’s voice during this episode. That’s all for James Franco and he does it better than I ever could. I mean, this is a real Hollywood movie.

Scavenger Hunt #16: December Preview

Scavenger Hunt Preview? A full week into the month? I know, I know. Truth be told, I’ve seen more than half the films on the hunt already. (Your guess if I recorded this before watching any of them.) But it’s here! And the Review episode will be out before the end of the month, I guarantee it.
