We had a change of environment and recorded this as part of a #DelToro movie night in the lead up to his new film #CrimsonPeak. The acoustics were not ideal as we recorded in Darkest-Timeline Justin's TV room on a very hot night. So please accept our apologies for the fan in the background and a minor step down in audio quality. However, we do believe the content makes up for it, especially during Pans Labyrinth which can be found at the 22 minute mark.

#Roscharch journel June 19 2015 Podcast hits feed in the morning, the internet is afraid of me it has seen my true face The episode is filled with extended rants, opinions and left wing sentimentalities. The hosts, an assortment of intellectuals, geeks movie fans and possible closet homosexuals, must investigate further. The topic of discussion was the #Watchmen film extended cut, said a lot of hurtful things especially about the comedian. Still much praise was given but it's irrelevant soon there will be a flame war, millions will listen and send in fiery feedback because there are good films and evil ones and even in the face of dial up speeds the evil films must be punished I shall not compromise in this.
In this episode, presented by AllThingsFilm.net, the SGS team discuss the bloody sweet little #Canadian cult comedy, #Goon based on the life of #DougSmith and his autobiography Goon: The True Story of an Unlikely Journey into Minor League Hockey. Directed by #MichaelDowse (#WhatIf, #Fubar) written by #JayBaruchel (#ThisIsTheEnd, #HowToTrainYourDragon) and #EvanGoldberg (#Superbad, #DrillbitTaylor), starring #SeannWilliamScott (#AmericanPie, #DukesOfHazard), #LievSchrieber (#Scream, #RayDonovan, #Wolverine, #RKO281), #AlisonPill (#Milk, #MidnightInParis, #Snowpiercer) and #EugeneLevy (#AmericanPie, #StayTuned, #BestInShow, #AMightyWind).
Throughout this discussion we look at other sports films such as #Slapshot, #MightyDucks and #Rocky, the #Underdogs, the love story, and the juxtaposition of a sweet character who is really good at hitting people.
We also have a competition running. Tune in to find out more.
In our latest episode, presented by #AllThingsFilm.net, we discuss the #1986 #RobReiner classic, #StandByMe. This was based on a short story from #StephenKing, starring #RiverPheonix, #CoreyFeldman, #WilWheaton, #JerryO'connell, and co-starring #KeiferSutherland, #JohnCusack, #CaseySiemaszko, and #RichardDreyfuss.
Throughout this episode we examine the music of #BEKing, the actors, behind the scenes stories, and the transgenerational appeal of this film. We also discuss why this may be Rob Reiner's masterpiece, the legacy of River Pheonix, the cult of Wil Wheaton, the underrated, but surprisngly great career of Jerry O'Connell, and the tragedy of Corey Feldman never getting a chance to demonstrate his acting prowess beyond this film.
There are also brief notes on the score, the #extradiagetic sound, some discussion on Keifer Sutherland, and #MarkTwain's #HuckleberryFinn and #TomSawyer who are quite close to River Pheonix and Wil Wheaton's characters, Gordie and Chris.
We also have a contest running.
It feels like a bit of Rob Reiner is in the air over at the SoylentGreen Screen Headquarters, with Michelle picking the movies she decided to start things off with Flipped (2010).
When Bryce moves in next door to Julie, Julie has an instant crush on Bryce… or course Bryce didn’t feel this way.
Bryce comes from a hardworking, white collar all American family, whereas Julie was free spirit also from a hardworking blue collar family. Both have different background, both from different classes, but no matter how much Julie tried, she couldn’t get Bryce’s attention…. Or does she?
The team was in different of the film, but this movie showed gender roles had flipped, the time period was flipped, and the class of families also flipped.
Sit back and put those ear plugs in and enjoy Flipped.

In this episode, presented by AllThingsFilm.net we finally #Accepted that #justinLong is here to stay. This was a film from 2006 that slipped under the radar but became a little known cult favourite.

Through this discussion, they discuss how much they hated #Piggy, the themes of inhumanity and evil, and the cultural impact of the film. They also compare it to modernist variations such as #ABC's #Lost and that one time #TheSimpsons did it, as well as trying to find a #SciFi equivalent to determine how well the film holds up, and if it is worth watching.

Battle Royale is the story of forty-two ninth-grade students from a Japanese high school forced by legislation to compete in a Battle Royale. The students are given a bag with a randomly selected weapon and rations of food and water, before being sent off to kill each other until one survives--or they all die.
The movie focuses on how they cope. Some play the game like the psychotic #Kiriyama or the sexual #Mitsuko, others like the heroes of the movie, #Shuya, #Noriko, and #Kawada try to find a way out, without violence. As the numbers lower, is there any way for Shuya, and his classmates to survive?

For our 50th recording, and first anniversary, we bring Michelle's dad, Bryan back for a bumper episode to discuss #StarWars: #EpisodeIV #ANewHope, starring #MarkHamill, #HarrisonFord, #CarrieFisher, #AnthonyDaniels, #PeterMayhew and #JamesEarlJones. Our primary focus was to look at the impact this film had on the #1970s. Through this discussion we look at the initial reception of Star Wars, the changes made to the film over the last 38 years and how it felt to see Star Wars for the very first time back in #1977.
We also get behind the scenes and look at the origins of the film, what #GeorgeLucas expected of the film, the deals he had to make and his bet with #StevenSpielberg.
The audio embedded is from the original teaser trailer released in 1976. We used this instead of the traditional #JohnWilliams score to reflect on what it would have been like to have seen Star Wars in its original run.
In this episode we discuss the final #DonBluth film, #TitanAE, cowritten by #JossWhedon, and starring the vocal talents of #MattDamon, #DrewBarrymore, #BillPullman, #NathanLane, #RosieODonnell and one of our favourites #JohnLeguizamo.
This is a hard to find film that is out of print in Australia, but has become a cult favourite amongst #Firefly and #Serenity fans for its connections to #JossWhedon and also to animation fans for transcending Cell to CGI animation and utilising #2D and #3Danimation from Industrial Light and Magic. While we had mixed responses to the film, as two of our podcasters loved it, and two were indifferent, but the level of work did not go under appreciated.
The topics we cover include the changeover from 2D to 3D, the end of Don Bluth's career, the rise of Joss Whedon, how much credit does Joss Whedon really deserve, and last but not least, we examine the merits of the film; from story to structure, to voicework, and whether or not the film condones genocide.
