The Film Thugs Movie Show

From  functionally illiterate vagrant to established character actor... Lance Henriksen has had one of the most fascinating lives, let alone careers in Hollywood. This week, we discuss one of the unquestioned saints in the Film Thugs Cannon, Mister Lance Henriksen. Also, check this out. http://fantasymovieleague.com/ Looks like Summer Movie League has officially become Fantasy Movie League. It loo...

Well, we finally reached the end of it, and trust us when we tell you that the wackyness is yet to come. That's right, at long last we reach the end of our J.J. Abrams odyssey and you will not believe the nonsense that you are about to be assaulted by.

Part three of the Abrams script and finally, after almost 100 pages... conflict emerges!

Everyone is entitled to their opinion is different from everyone is entitled to MY opinion.

Here's the thing. Since moving to the house I've become incredibly lazy. You see, in my old apartment the office/computer room was right next to my bedroom and about 10 feet from my living room. Now that I've moved it's upstairs and my bedroom/living are both downstairs. That means in order to launch an episode of anything I have to schlep up a flight of stairs. That's an almost negligible amount...

This week we continue our reading of J.J. Abram's unproduced Superman script, and as is often the case with sequels... shit just gets wackier. It's.... It's just.... Jesus. Just... Jesus. Listen and be brain punched with nonsense.

Many years back, before taking on Star Trek and Star Wars, before doing the whole "Lost" thing, even before Alias, JJ Abrams was just a young screenwriter who was given a shot at a Superman script. The results are... well... baffling, to put it mildly. Join us this week as we begin our odyssey into the dark, confusing heart of Mr. Abrams's Superman.

There are some movies that you can use as a barometer to tell if someone is on the same page as you when it comes to overall film fandom.  These films are, very rarely, the hits and the award winners. More often than not they are the ones that landed somewhere on the fringes, unjustly so in most cases. But as life, as a general rule, is unfair these things occur. However, occasionally one of these...

The word "fearless' gets bandied about quite a bit in the world of art. We love to pat people on the back for their "courage" when they make some privileged point about how shallow their privileged upbringing was, or when they do something that involves sex. Mostly when they do something that involves sex. Almost always when it has to do with sex. But what about a filmmaker who genuinely seems to...

Jim has been espousing his love for these films quite a bit as of late, and Campbell has seen almost half of them. We could think of no better reason to take our first look at the world of The Fast and the Furious.

At long last the final day of our week long life coaching marathon.

Missed yesterday, time gets away from you in Vegas. But the coaching train just keeps on rolling.

Same as last time. Except that I'm launching this episode from my phone as I stand I. Caesars Palace in Vegas. God damn it, I love this country.

As we could not record a movie show this week, we give you seven days of The Life Masters. It's like a shitty Advent calendar covered in Scotch.

Day three of our seven days of The Life Masters. It's like a shitty Advent calendar covered in Scotch.

This week we discuss the visual mastery and fairly solid film making of Zach Snyder. So... yeah. You should check it out.

People love to complain about how bad movies have gotten. At times, it genuinely feels like people like complaining about how bad movies are than they like going to movies at all. But, do we have the right to complain? Honestly? In a world where a universally reviled film like Transformers: Age of Extinction can simultaneously be the highest grossing and most hated studio movie of the year... do w...

When we started this show 5 year ago what excited us more than anything else was doing a St. Patrick's Day show. See, we're both Scots Irish and really love the culture, and St. Pat's is the only quasi holiday that both of us really get into. So, we did one. And it was awful. Seriously, it was horrid. I mean... 5 years later and we still haven't released it, and we never will. For some reason we n...

Ten years goes by in a flash. Think about it. I mean... well... I could give examples here, but why do that when you could just listen to the show. So... yeah, go ahead and do that. Listen to the show and revel in the 2005ness of it all. Remember, you can be a part of the show any time you wild like. How's that? All you have to do is call or e-mail us. If you live in the US, or any place that make...
