Join us as we talk one of Hitch's lesser-known works!  E-mail us: filmroompodcast@g...

Welcome to another Patreon request episode! This week's request was made by Patron Bridgett Shinn! She requested A Man Called Horse, a movie starring one of her favorite actors, Richard Harris! We had fun with this one, as it was the first (and certainly not last!) Western we've ever covered. We discuss what it means to be PC in the 70's, as well as Harris's long career, and what a feat of a movie...

If you all remember waaaaaaay back to episode 12, we ripped into The Last Airbender and mourned the fall of Shyamalan. Well.. consider this an addendum to that episode, because we both saw Shyamalan's latest film, The Visit, last week, and we have some thoughts. Needless to say we get utter some phrases that we never thought we'd get to say again.     As to Austin's plea at the end of the epidsode...

Welcome! This week we delve into the deep, dark realm of TV shows that evolved from movies. TV hastaken its cue from film ever since television was first broadcast, and the two mediums have grown side-by-side ever since. As such, there has been a lot of.. bleeding over from one to other, often with mixed results. We explore the best and worst TV shows we remember (mostly animated; who would have t...

Welcome to another Lost Tapes episode! This one is far overdue, which only helps it earn the "Lost Tapes" title. This time we take on Frank Miller's The Spirit. A movie that's trying so hard to be a PG-13 Sin City when it shouldn't be. We rip apart the film and the cult of Frank Miller to its roots. Here's Austin's too-kind initial review of The Spirit Watch Linkara's take on Miller's Batman and R...

Ever wanted to know how all that music you hear in your favorite TV shows and movies gets made? We did too! So we asked composer Rob Gokee how it's done! Austin, Al, and Rob talk all manner of things, from music to movies (and all of the above), to TV shows we're keeping up with. Join us as we discuss the stuff of pure emotion! Most of the backing tracks to this episode are Rob's compositions, all...

Welcome to torture! At least we're not alone! This week we're joined by recurring guest Beck Poppins to talk about Zack Snyder's faux-feminist film Sucker Punch! This one has been a long time coming, and we vent like the wind. This of course wouldn't be complete without a contrasting good feminist work, so we also talk about the Soska Sisters' surgical slasher American Mary. So strap in, because i...

Welcome to episode 3, entitled Sliding... Cake. Uuuhhhm.. okay. Yeah, that title doesn't make any more sense once you know the context. In fact a LOT of things don't make any sense in this show, especially in context. Listen in amazement as we baffle our way through another episode of Tommy Wiseau's The Neighbors. On the way, we uncover a saaaaad truth. Soo yeah, don't miss that.

Welcome to Part 2 of The Neighbors Chronicles! Hellllp uuuuusss...

So much to look forward to! Re: The clip at the end - I swear to Christ it plays out as-is, I did not mess with it in the slightest. Check those title gra...

We wrap up our week-long tribute to Galatea Films by reviewing their most batshit (or penguin-shit) film, Penguigeddon! We've been waiting a LONG time for this one. We came upon this film (and subsequently the film company) when Austin found it advertised in a Russellville, Arkansas newspaper archive, reading "When the penguins attack, we all die!" Well, Austin was finally able to track down a boo...

Welcome our new minisode miniseries, The Neighbors Chronicles! As the title suggests, we're reviewing each and every episode of The Neighbors. One. Fucking. Episode. At a time. This is our obligation to our namesake and the baffling nature of the mystery that is Tommy Wiseau. Please enjoy our torment as we try to pick through jokes dealing with shotguns, whipped cream, partial nudity, suggested ch...

Hey there! Welcome to our first official episode of 2015! First, a prelude.  For the unaware, Albert had a medical emergency, for which he is still recovering. This has rendered us unable to put anything up on the official page for a couple months. Austin has been filling in with his 4Shared site with solo entries (some of which will show up here). We decided to go ahead and record our Best of 201...

Welcome again to our second and final Hitchcocktober cast for 2014! This episode we continue the Jimmy Stewart/Hitchcock colaboration with Rear Window!
