Are You Screening? Podcast

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review The November Man and As Above/So Below. The tail end of the summer seems to be a time that movie studios are giving up on, and that's led to Guardians of the Galaxy picking up week after week of the #1 position. We're closing in on some interesting releases, but what about these two films that aren...

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Giver, and Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

We'll also be sharing some interview clips with the cast, and answeri...

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire Shane Leonard review Scarlett Johansson's latest, Lucy. It's stirring up a lot of talk about using 10% of our brains, but isn't doing that well with critics. We'll let you know if this one is worth time, answer listener questions, and give you a preview of what's coming to theaters.

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire Shane Leonard review The Purge: Anarchy. Can this sequel pull a rabbit out of its hat and spin a micro-budget film into a worthwhile franchise? The first one managed a lot of fans, but will this pay off again, even for them? We'll let you know if this one is worth your time, answer listener questions, and give you some i...

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire Shane Leonard, will be reviewing Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and giving a glimpse into the next few weeks at theaters.

We'll give you our take, answer listener...

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire Shane Leonard review Tammy, and give a preview of what's coming your way for the next few weeks.

We'll have some interview clips to share, answer listener questions, and let you know where you shou...

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard take on 22 Jump Street this week.  Does this one deserve the kind of critical acclaim it's getting?

We'll also be playing clips from interviews with cast, and answ...

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire Shane Leonard review Edge of Tomorrow. We'll let you know if you need to get to this one, share some interview clips, and answer listener questions. Can Tom Cruise pull off Sci-Fi twice in a row? We were big fans of Oblivion, and this one has the extra bonus of being directed by Doug Liman. It ought to be a recipe for su...

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review A Million Ways to Die in the West. We'll be giving you all our instant thoughts on the film, sharing some interview clips, and answering listener questions. Is this one as good as the cast would have you believe? Is the green band trailer as funny as the red band one? Is a review necessary at all?...

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire Shane Leonard review Godzilla, share some interview clips, and take listener questions. Already doing surprisingly well with critics, we'll let you know if this one is worth your time and money. Of course, Marc's already in the hot seat going into this one, because he put down the general idea of the film in past weeks....

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host-extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, look ahead at the weeks and months to come with a summer preview episode.

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review the latest comic-book film this week, and The Amazing Spider-Man 2 seems to be polarizing critics and audiences.  Does this one live up to the expectations that fans have these days, or is it a big mess of a cashgrab? We'll let you know. We'll also have some interview clips to share, and we'll be a...

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire Shane Leonard review Transcendence, answer listener questions, and give a quick rundown on upcoming films. It's sort of a slow week in the movie world, unless you're a fan of serious and/or comedic horror, and we took a week off for Easter, so we're catching up with the latest from Johnny Depp and Morgan Freeman. This on...

We're reviewing Captain America: TWS and Draft Day this week, and it should make for a great episode. I predict we may have some difference of opinion this week, which apparently our listeners prefer. We'll also be playing some interview clips with Kevin Costner, Chris Evans, and more, and we will be exploring a new segment of the show that was suggested by listeners - the trailer to movie rating.

We're heading back to Divergent, because technical difficulties threw us a loop last week. We'll be reviewing that one, and sharing interview clips with the stars. We'll also be reviewing The Grand Budapest Hotel, and we think you're going to like it.

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire Shane Leonard, review 300: Rise of an Empire. This one is going to be an interesting effort, because the original film wasn't bad, but was such a specific, stylized effort that continuing the story may be awfully difficult to pull off. We'll also be responding to listener questions, looking at some upcoming films, and sh...

We'll be taking on Liam Neeson's latest venture into action, Non-Stop. Is this as odd and unmanageable as an action film on a plane seems, or is there something to this one? We'll also give our final notes on the Oscars. We've predicted and talked about the races quite a bit, but has anything changed as we approach the finish line, and are these races as hard to predict as people say? And, we're g...

We may also be playing some interview clips from the...

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review The Monuments Men. After being pushed back more than once, and losing out on the 2013 awards circuit, the Clooney/Damon vehicle with the incredible cast is taking on February and is surrounded by buzz, but is it all it's cracked up to be? We'll let you know.
