A different approach to this review episode. Today, I’ll be talking about the last 6 films I saw in theaters, most of which didn’t exactly warrant a full review episode.

Leap!: 16:00

Lady Macbeth: 27:00

Sometimes an SNL alum gets it right, and this is one of those times. Spoilers around the 8 minute mark or so. It’s better to go into this one as blind as possible.

A new film from the Safdie brothers starring Robert Pattinson has hit theaters. It’s probably flying under the radar, but I’m making sure that someone knows about it.

RetroReview #3: The Lion King

Comments Off on RetroReview #3: The Lion King

Firstly, I gotta apologize for some poor audio quality on this episode. It took me a little time to realize the wrong microphone was being used for the input. The issues start at the 1:52 point and end at the 14:52 point, mostly encompassing me talking about the technical merits, awards merits, and cast/personnel associated with the film. From that point on I spend the majority of the time discussing my thoughts on the overall film and story and emotions that The Lion King evokes in me. Sorry for the problems!
