Stream Police 01: Jack Reacher

In an effort to remain a contributing member to Mildly Pleased, I and my fellow film friend-o Michael Sevigny have decided to put together a ‘lil podcast. “Stream Police” is a movie review podcast with a bit of a twist. The twist being that our movie choices will be completely in the cold calculating hands of the Netflix Randomizer. Every episode we will click the randomizer three times and have to pick one of the films Netflix recommends for us.

On the inaugural episode of “Stream Police”, Michael and I will be reviewing the 2012 Tom Cruise vanity project Jack Reacher. We will also briefly discuss the latest “song” from former alt-rock heroes Weezer. I’d like to thank Mildly Pleased for allowing us to put this up here. Maybe other Mildly Pleasers will show up on future episodes? Who know! Stay tuned for more streamy goodness, Otteni out.

Pitching Tents 05: Robots

The new Transformers movie is out and it really looks like Michael Bay has another hit on his hands, to basically no one’s surprise. If you read any of the reviews, you’ll see just how weary America’s critics are at trying to explain how deeply flawed this franchise is, especially compared to other quality sci fi currently in theaters, like Edge of Tomorrow and Snowpiercer, to a public that just doesn’t care. The people have spoken, and they want giant robots! We’re prepared to give them exactly that this week on Pitching Tents.

Pitching Tents 04: Fatherhood

In this, the month of dads and grads, we are happy to bring back Pitching Tents. Inspired by Father’s Day, which was a week ago if you haven’t been calendar watching lately, we decided to come up with the best movies about fatherhood that haven’t been made. And that’s a tricky one, given that there seem to be only a few types of dad movies: the ones where he has to get his save his family, the ones where he has to reconnect with his family, and the ones where his family have to reconnect with him. Which of these types did we tend to favor? Listen and find out!

T3 79: Bottom 10 Disaster Movies

Did you guys see Louie this week? I guess it was something we knew was coming, but can you believe, just conceptually, that a show about a comedian living in New York would ever get to the point of showing a harrowing hurricane rescue? That’s a pretty special show, and we’re all lucky to be able to enjoy it. But don’t get it twisted, we paid our dues. We paid by having to sit through some of the worst disaster movies ever made, all so we could make a list. Sometimes we even overpaid, I’m looking at you Michael Bay.

Some Kind of Movie – Ep. 5: Size Does Matter

The new Godzilla was not very original when it picked its name, but does the rest of the movie suffer from that same laziness. Find out by listening to this, the fifth episode of Some Kind of Movie. Seems like it would be higher, doesn’t it? It’s been a long time since we did one of these long-form movie review podcasts, the last one was for The Man of Steel. So yeah, this is better than that. Just be sure to see the movie before you listen to this, because we do spoil it. Unless it was already spoiled?!

T3 78: Top Characters We’d Like to See Return in Star Wars: Episode VII

What started as a fun list of the unsung heroes of the Star Wars universe quickly took a turn for the horrific this week as we ended up spending well over an hour coming up with a new hope for the legendary franchise that… Well, you’ll just have to listen. Why did we do this? Because, as the Disney empire strikes back by announcing the new stars that will be fighting in these wars, how could we not be exciting about the long-awaited return of the Jedi Luke Sywalker? Or his sister Leia? Or that badass Chewbacca and his partner Han Solo. May the eighth be with you.

T3 77: Top 10 Albums of 1969

If you’re going to release a self-titled album, you damn well better do it in 1969. That’s right, this week we’re talking about music again as we take the ship of the imagination back to 1969 in honor of Mad Men‘s return to television. If this isn’t the boldest, most groundbreaking podcast episode you’ve ever heard, it is at the very least the one most likely to be taken down in a harsh copyright strike against us. Get it while you can!
