Episodes
Watergate Weekend, Part Two: Dick (1999)
June 17, 2018 15:46 - 35 minutes - 32.3 MBAnd now for the REAL story of Watergate. This movie offers a bit of a lighter take on the scandal, as well as a guess at the identity of Woodward and Bernstein's infamous source, Deep Throat. Kirsten Dunst and Michelle Williams pay a pair of teenagers who couldn't be less interested in politics or world events - until they stumble into the middle of the biggest story of the century, befriend Richard "Dick" Nixon, and learn that you can't let Dick run your life. You can rent or buy the movi...
Watergate Weekend, Part One: All the President's Men (1976)
June 16, 2018 19:45 - 50 minutes - 92.9 MBTomorrow will be the 46th anniversary of one of the most important political events of the 20th century: The break-in and attempted bugging of the Democratic national headquarters in Washington, D.C., at the Watergate office complex. That break-in and its historic aftermath have been rendered many times on film, most recently as a cameo in 2017's "The Post." But today, we're watching the best-known cinematic rendition of Watergate, "All the President's Men," a 1976 adaptation of journalists...
Gossip Girl (2007)
May 13, 2018 22:47 - 54 minutes - 49.8 MBHey, Upper East Siders (and, you know, all listeners). I've got the biggest episode EVER. Ok, maybe not. But it is the second episode stemming from the Golden Globes bet we both lost. Today, it's time to torture Eric. And what better way than with the scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite? For the uninitiated, Gossip Girl is an anonymous blogger who chronicles (and tortures) a bunch of extremely wealthy high school students. With tipsters all over the city - especially in the fancy private...
Grand Theft Auto V Heist Videos (2014)
May 12, 2018 15:00 - 41 minutes - 76.1 MBWay back in January, Emily and I made a bet: Whoever could predict the winners of the Golden Globes more accurately would subject the other to a Geek vs. n00b pick that they would definitely hate. And I'm just gonna say it up front: If watching a bunch of dudes play Grand Theft Auto V for two hours is not your idea of a good time, then this episode may not be for you. Emily, however, had no choice. We both lost the bet (because we tied), so this weekend we're both torturing each other, no...
A Wrinkle in Time (2018)
April 01, 2018 14:59 - 1 hour - 140 MBSurprise again! Although if you listened to yesterday's bonus episode, then this will not be surprising: On this show, we talked about the new movie adaptation of "A Wrinkle in Time," directed by Ava DuVernay and starring Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Mindy Kaling and Reese Witherspoon. Technically this is not an episode with a "geek" and a "n00b" like usual, but we still had plenty to say about it. At the time of this episode's publication, you can probably still find "A Wrinkle in Time" at ...
A Wrinkle in Time (1962)
March 31, 2018 19:58 - 40 minutes - 37.4 MBSurprise! We're back with a bonus episode. In honor of the movie coming out (more on that later), we're rereading A Wrinkle in Time. The book follows Meg Murry, her little brother Charles Wallace, and their friend Calvin on a trip through time and space to save the Murrys' missing father. Be sure to read it, as we're about to spoil everything that happens! Tomorrow, we'll be back with a follow-up episode on the new movie. Keep an eye on your favorite podcast place. Hosted on Acast. See ...
The Sound of Music (1965)
March 25, 2018 21:05 - 1 hour - 60.8 MBWe're closing out the season with a pick that's somewhat surprising for a show with this premise: The Sound of Music. Yes, there is (or was until recently) someone who'd never seen this movie before. As you likely know, The Sound of Music is the Oscar-winning film adaptation of the Tony-winning Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, starring Julie Andrews as a wayward nun-in-training and Christopher Plummer as the father whose kids she's sent to care for as governess. Set in Salzburg, Austria bef...
What We Do in the Shadows (2014)
March 24, 2018 15:00 - 32 minutes - 74.5 MB- OK, so It's a movie about vampires. - Oh I love it! And they're terrorizing Los Angeles? - No, they just hang out in Wellington, New Zealand. - You've lost me. - They argue about household chores and have to deal with how to get dressed for a night on the town when you can't see yourself in the mirror. - ... - They also befriend a boring, pudgy man who works at a tech company. - ... - ... Thanks for your time. -- "What We Do in the Shadows" isn't for everyone. But if you're the s...
Twin Peaks (1990)
March 04, 2018 17:58 - 1 hour - 62 MBLife in a sleepy small town is turned upside down when a teen girl - pretty, blonde, a good student, the prom queen - is found, brutally murdered. Before long, the secrets start tumbling out, and we learn she's not as innocent nor is the the town as quiet as it seemed. It's the premise of, rough estimate here, seven million movies, books and TV series? Just a ballpark figure. And any of them made since the early 90s (and plenty of other TV shows besides) owe a TON to a defining classic of t...
The Court Jester (1955)
February 25, 2018 16:00 - 38 minutes - 89.1 MB"The Court Jester" has everything: Medieval palace drama! Implausible hypnotism! Acrobatic dwarves! ... Oh, I'm being told that "The Court Jester" is not New York's hottest nightclub, but rather a 1955 musical comedy starring Danny Kaye. It's also the subject of this week's Giant Geek vs. Mega n00b, featuring guest geek Yoichi Shiga. Loyal listeners may remember Yoichi from our Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone episode, where he was one of our Potter n00bs ... but what did we think of ...
The Net (1995)
February 12, 2018 03:47 - 47 minutes - 43.1 MBThis week, we're traveling back to the 90s, when the internet was relatively new and very slow and weird, for a dated thriller that feels oddly relevant today: The Net. In it, Sandra Bullock plays an isolated computer programmer and Jeremy Northam a leader of the evil hacking syndicate that's out to get her, via some particularly vicious and invasive identity theft. And since neither of us has seen it, we've brought in Emily Cureton to be our guide. Be sure to watch before listening, since...
Sports Night (1998)
February 04, 2018 16:00 - 1 hour - 129 MBWith the exception of that one episode about the Tour de France, we haven't done a lot of sports here on Giant Geek vs. Mega n00b. But a TV show about a SportsCenter-like show, written by "West Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin? Sign us up! But wait, there's more: Joining us for our introduction to "Sports Night" is Sorkin superfan Walt Mossberg — although he may be better known as the former Personal Technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal who co-founded AllThingsD and Recode, where Eric...
Star Trek: The Next Generation
January 28, 2018 20:15 - 1 hour - 60.3 MBAnd now, it's time for round two of Star Trek: a foray into The Next Generation. Set long after the original show, this popular series returns to the Trek universe for another set of adventures aboard a later iteration of the Enterprise. Its crew of beloved characters include Patrick Stewart's Captain Jean-Luc Picard, LeVar Burton's Geordi Laforge, and Brent Spiner's android Data. But since we've never actually watched it, dedicated TNG fangirl Sarah Weitman (who you might recall from our 3...
The Fast and the Furious (2001)
January 21, 2018 20:46 - 47 minutes - 109 MB"Hurtling metal, meat and rubber through the concrete jungle at dangerous velocities." That's how, in 1998, Ken Li described New York's underground street racing scene. His article for Vibe Magazine, "Racer X," inspired the incredibly successful "Fast and Furious" movie franchise. And today, we bring it all full circle. Li, now the executive editor at Newsweek, joined us on the latest episode of Giant Geek vs. Mega n00b to talk about the first "Fast and the Furious" movie, which neither Emi...
Star Trek
January 15, 2018 02:56 - 1 hour - 64 MBAs we explained last week, this season we're shaking this up by bringing in guests to help fill in some gaps in our shared pop cultural knowledge. This week's is a big gap: Star Trek. Created by Gene Rodenberry and premiering in 1966, the seminal sci-fi series is famous for both its extensive cultural impact and its extremely dedicated fan base. We're lucky to have two of those fans with us to guide our voyage, Zach Powers and Josh Powers. For this introduction, we're watching season one'...
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003) and Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004)
January 07, 2018 16:00 - 1 hour - 140 MBYou've been waiting patiently for it for months, and now it's finally here: Season 6 of Giant Geek vs. Mega n00b. This season, we're shaking things up by bringing in friends and colleagues to school us on the pop culture that Emily and I have both missed. And first out of the gate are the Kill Bill movies, brought to the podcast by my former schoolmate David Ruiz. Directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Uma Thurman as "The Bride," Kill Bill is the story of a "roaring rampage of revenge....
The Thin Man (1934)
December 31, 2017 22:27 - 43 minutes - 39.7 MBAnd now for the second part of our after-Christmas discussion of movies that are not exactly about Christmas. Much of this one, fittingly, takes place in the time between Christmas and New Year's Eve. The movie is The Thin Man (1934), based on the Dashiell Hammett novel of the same name and starring William Powell and Myrna Loy in one of their many on-screen collaborations. It launched a whole series of Thin Man films, all focused on Powell and Loy as the delightful Nick and Nora Charles. G...
Gremlins (1984)
December 30, 2017 17:03 - 45 minutes - 103 MBAfter a slightly longer-than-expected break (several months instead of several weeks), we're back! Last year — when we watched The Nightmare Before Christmas and Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town — we pitted two Christmas movies against each other. This year, we're doing the same thing. Well, sort of. This weekend, we're watching two not-quite-Christmas movies, the first of which is "Gremlins" (1984), which was directed by Joe Dante, written by Chris Columbus and stars Zach Galligan, Phoebe C...
30 Rock (2006)
May 18, 2017 00:19 - 44 minutes - 40.9 MBIt's no secret that we both love 30 Rock. A lot. Tina Fey's seven-season comedy for NBC is, in our opinion, one of the best ever, and we've both watched it countless times. But that's no fun for this podcast! So we've brought in a guest n00b to the world of TGS, night cheese, and Dr. Spaceman: Georgia's own Sarah Weitman, who's only seen a handful of random episodes. For our purposes, we're starting from the beginning and watching season one, episodes 1-3 and 5-7. Will Sarah like them? Wil...
This Is Us (2016)
May 18, 2017 00:13 - 1 hour - 122 MBWe're nearly at the end of the fifth season of Giant Geek vs. Mega n00b, but there's still a lot we haven't done (just you wait). This week, we talked about the super-zeitgeisty new TV show "This Is Us," and — unlike most weeks, when the n00b enters with very little knowledge — that zeitgeistiness put Emily and myself at odds from minute one. In case you've missed the polarizing cultural discussion, "This Is Us" is a dramedy about the intersecting lives and families of four people with the ...
Into the Woods (1986)
April 09, 2017 17:48 - 1 hourWe all know what happens when Cinderella goes to the ball, and when Jack climbs the beanstalk, and when Little Red Riding Hood gets to Granny's house. ...but not in this version. Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine's Broadway musical Into the Woods turns all of these stories (and more) on their heads, then crashes a giant into them to upend things even more. It's a zany fairytale romp, but it's also a story about parents, children, relationships, and loss. Eric has seen the 2014 movie versi...
The Social Network (2010)
April 02, 2017 18:04 - 59 minutesTechnology doesn't materialize out of thin air; it's made by people. And those people aren't necessarily good people. This week's movie, "The Social Network," is a heavily dramatized telling of how Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg disrupted Harvard University, then colleges everywhere and then the world. The only problem — at least as seen here with Aaron Sorkin's name on the screenplay — is that he also upended his personal relationships along the way. You can stream "The Social Network" ...
Beauty and the Beast (2017)
March 26, 2017 20:51 - 1 hour"Beauty and the Beast," the first animated movie ever to be nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars, is now ... a live-action movie, too! But how does it stack up to the original? On this bonus episode of Giant Geek vs. Mega n00b, we did the same thing that we did with La La Land last month: Emily and I watched the movie on our own, and did not share any thoughts about it with each other until we started recording. Turns out, we both had a lot of thoughts to share. You can find "Beaut...
Velvet Goldmine (1998)
March 26, 2017 03:37 - 37 minutesAfter exploring the line between public and private - and the notion of faking your death - with "Man on the Moon" last week, there was only one direction we could go in: "Velvet Goldmine." This one isn't actually a biopic, but it DOES star Jonathan Rhys Myers as a glam rocker inspired by David Bowie, Ewan McGregor as another star based on Iggy Pop and Lou Reed, Christian Bale as a journalist writing about them, and Toni Collette as Myers's wife. They're all very pretty. The opening titles...
Man on the Moon (1999)
March 18, 2017 19:36 - 46 minutesWe've all been there: 40 million people love watching you perform, and you hate it, so you decide to start wrestling women. OK, actually one person has been there: Andy Kaufman, the subject of the 1999 biopic "Man on the Moon," directed by Milos Forman and starring Jim Carrey as Kaufman. This week on Giant Geek vs. Mega n00b, we are diving deep into alternative comedy, engineered outrage and how well Lorne Michaels and David Letterman can act as themselves. You can stream "Man on the Moon"...
Gaslight (1944)
March 11, 2017 13:30 - 31 minutesYou've heard the term on the news, you've seen it thrown around on Twitter, and now it's time to go to the source. We're talking about gaslighting, the practice of manipulating someone into doubting their own experience and sanity. It comes from a 1944 film starring Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer, and Joseph Cotten (and a very young Angela Lansbury in her first film role). Many years after her aunt was killed, Bergman moves back into the house where it happened with her new husband (Boyer),...
The Stanley Parable (2013)
March 05, 2017 01:40 - 37 minutesThis week, Emily and I played a video game with several great features, including offices, hallways, doors, a broom closet and existential dread. And as if that's not enticing enough, then try this on for size: "The Stanley Parable" is a hilarious interactive ride that answers a question no one was asking, "What if Tom Stoppard wrote a video game?" In it, you play as Stanley, an office drone whose coworkers mysteriously vanish. And I'm not kidding about the broom closet. Go in the broom...
La La Land (2016)
February 26, 2017 17:47 - 40 minutesTwo lovers, both alike in artistic yearning, in fair Los Angeles where we ... ok, you know what, I'm not going to try and do the Shakespeare thing. "La La Land" is a story about two white people in L.A. who want to be famous and/or artistically respected, and it tied the record for most Oscar nominations ever. In this special bonus episode of Giant Geek vs. Mega n00b, recorded shortly before the Oscars, Eric and Emily offer their harsh critiques of a movie that has enchanted much of the co...
When Harry Met Sally (1989)
February 26, 2017 02:28 - 49 minutesDoes When Harry Met Sally really need an introduction? It isn't just a classic romantic comedy; it is THE romcom. Though far from the first, it's the ultimate and quintessential romcom, the movie that defines the genre, the movie that launched the romcom boom of the 1990s and 2000s, the movie that all others since aspire to. Even those who somehow haven't seen it, which until recently included Eric, know the basics: Meg Ryan. Billy Crystal. Nora Ephron. Rob Reiner. Carrie Fisher. Classic li...
The Twilight Zone (1959)
February 18, 2017 21:08 - 43 minutesImagine, if you will: A seemingly ordinary podcast suddenly re-emerges after more than a month of silence. Except this is no ordinary season premiere. The two hosts of this podcast have just made a life-changing visit ... to the Twilight Zone. We're back! And to kick off Season 5, we watched five episodes from the seminal TV anthology, "The Twilight Zone." After the intro to this episode, we talk about them with spoilers in depth, so you should watch these episodes before you listen! They a...
Santa Claus is Comin' to Town (1970)
December 11, 2016 21:42 - 41 minutesInstead of a beloved and critically-acclaimed feature, today we're watching a cheesy-as-hell TV special by Rankin and Bass. They're the same folks that brought us the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer we've all seen a million times - but this is better (in my humble opinion). Santa Claus is Comin' to Town is a Santa origin story, tracing his life from orphaned baby to jolly old man delivering toys. Along the way, it answers all the burning questions you've always had about Santa (how do the re...
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
December 10, 2016 07:46 - 34 minutesWhat's this? Why, it's another bonus episode of Giant Geek vs. Mega n00b! Most of the time, people who say "Happy Holidays" aren't thinking of Halloween, but that might change once you see "The Nightmare Before Christmas," a 1993 stop-motion classic directed by Henry Selick and inspired by a poem written by Tim Burton. Emily, despite being the more musical half of the podcast, has never seen it, so whether you're a n00b like her or a geek like Eric, join us! If you're listening to this ...
Bob's Burgers (2011) VS. WKRP in Cincinnati (1978)
November 23, 2016 05:39 - 33 minutesSurprise! Just in time for Thanksgiving, have an extra serving of Giant Geek vs. Mega n00b! While you're recovering from your food coma this week, join us for six delightful episodes of turkey-flavored TV: Three from "Bob's Burgers," which Eric has seen relatively little of, and three from "WKRP in Cincinnati," which Emily hadn't even heard of. The three Bob's Burgers episodes on tap are: S3E5, "An Indecent Thanksgiving Proposal"; S4E5, "Turkey in a Can"; and S5E4, "Dawn of the Peck." You ...
Hamilton (2015)
November 06, 2016 19:00 - 1 hourHow did a bastard orphan immigrant become one of America's founding fathers? How did the country forget about him? And how — and why? — did he become the subject of a wildly popular hip-hop musical 200 years after his death? In trying to answer these tricky questions, we quickly struck a roadblock: Neither Emily nor Eric had seen or listened to the soundtrack of "Hamilton," Lin-Manuel Miranda's hit 2015 Broadway musical about the rise and fall of Alexander Hamilton. Enter Eric's friend and ...
The West Wing (1999)
November 06, 2016 00:56 - 47 minutesTopic: The West Wing Geek(s): Emily and Eric We've got American politics on the brain (can't imagine why that would be), so it seems high time we get to a particularly stellar bit of political fantasy we're both more than a little obsessed with - the West Wing. Since we need a n00b to enlighten/inflict this on, we're enlisting help from my dear friend Reilly Mesco, who has somehow never seen the show. A travesty, we agree, and one that must be corrected. In case you're somehow also in th...
Machine of Death (2010)
October 29, 2016 14:00 - 47 minutesWhat if you could put your finger in a machine and find out how you were going to die? What if that machine were always right? And what if that machine was also kind of a jerk, dispensing cryptic predictions that often came true in cruelly ironic ways? That is the delightful-slash-terrifying premise of "Machine of Death," an anthology of short stories collected and first published in 2010 by Ryan North, Matthew Bennardo and David Malki. And it's what we're talking about today on the po...
Steely Dan (1976)
October 22, 2016 04:00 - 45 minutesTopic: Steely Dan Geek: Emily Steely Dan is a 1970s band that gets knocked a lot for being stereotypical dad music. But have you ever really listened to them? Eric never has. But even if you think you know them, I'd encourage you to pay closer attention this time. There's a lot going on there, folks. We're diving in to our close read with their 1976 album The Royal Scam. Give it a listen, then listen to this. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Rick and Morty (2013)
October 08, 2016 21:50 - 33 minutesOn one of the first episodes of this podcast, I made Emily watch Doctor Who. On a later episode, which sadly never saw the light of day because we lost the audio, I made her watch Back to the Future. Today, we complete the trifecta with "Rick and Morty," the irreverent animated Adult Swim show that synthesizes those series, Futurama, and like a million other sci-fi influences into a hilarious, chaotic and occasionally traumatizing experience. Come on, it'll be fun! If you've never seen R...
Gilmore Girls (2000)
October 02, 2016 04:31 - 39 minutesTopic: Gilmore Girls Geek: Emily If you're out on the road, feeling lonely and so cold, all you have to do is call on Gilmore Girls and they'll be there on the next train. I've tortured this so that it doesn't actually rhyme, but you see, this is more or less how I feel about this beloved TV show. And I'm not alone! There's so much love out there for Gilmore Girls that it's getting its very own Netflix revival. Huzzah for Stars Hollow, Connecticut! Eric, however, has never seen it, and w...
Zombieland (2009)
September 24, 2016 16:00 - 33 minutesThe last time we visited the zombie apocalypse, when we watched "The Walking Dead," most everything was bleak: People were fighting, some of them got killed, and there was little hope for the future. What if, instead, we all decided to have fun? That's part of the appeal of this week's movie, "Zombieland," a roadtrip comedy that just happens to coincide with the world's destruction via flesh-hungry monsters. And — as if you needed another reason to watch this movie with us — "Zombieland" h...
Le Tour de France
September 21, 2016 00:44 - 50 minutesTopic: The Tour de France Geek: Emily And now for a sport that's a bit off the beaten track (or well-ridden road, as the case may be): cycling. I've been watching the Tour de France religiously for many years, and back in July I made Eric take the Tour plunge - albeit on a somewhat limited basis. For the purposes of our podcasts, we watched highlights of the first eight stages of the 2016 Tour with the help of some detailed planning and my NBC Sports Gold subscription. The full replays us...
Ex Machina (2015)
September 10, 2016 19:00 - 50 minutesYou might use Siri, or Cortana, or Alexa — but you would never think of them as real people. But what if you did? What if you could have a conversation with an artificially intelligent person that felt real and human? And what if that person looked like a beautiful woman? Those are just the surface-level questions of this week's movie, "Ex Machina." DO NOT WATCH THE TRAILER FOR THIS MOVIE. It has spoilers, as does this podcast after the 3-minute mark. So, skip the trailer and go watch "E...
The Music Man (1962)
September 03, 2016 12:27 - 38 minutesTopic: The Music Man Geek: Emily Welcome to season four! Let's watch a musical. As you might recall, last season we watched Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and - spoiler alert - Eric loved it and immediately embarked on a binge. While this warms my little geek heart, it also poses a problem: CXG is packed with musical parodies, including one of my favorite number from one of my favorite musicals, and Eric has never seen it. Enter the Music Man. This musical has been a favorite since before I can ev...
UHF (1989)
July 11, 2016 01:14 - 35 minutes"Weird Al" Yankovic has been writing and performing song parodies since 1976. But he only made one feature-length movie — for good reason. "UHF" did not do well at the box office when it was released in 1989. It made $6.1 million on a $5 million budget. But in the years since, it has become a must-watch for any kid discovering the joys of "Weird Al" and a cult classic for geeks of all ages around the world. You should definitely watch "UHF" before you listen to the discussion portion of th...
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend (2015)
July 02, 2016 22:01 - 36 minutesTopic: Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Geek: Emily This week's topic hasn't been around for very long, but oh boy has it made a splash. It won a Golden Globe. Vulture named it best show on TV. I am madly in love with it. We're talking, of course, about the CW's Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. It's an hour-long comedy from the brilliant mind of Rachel Bloom, who also stars alongside a refreshingly diverse and seriously talented cast. The plot follows Bloom's character as she moves across the country in an attemp...
Super Mario Bros. 3 (1988)
June 26, 2016 16:15 - 31 minutesThe Mario games are full of important life lessons for kids: Get regular exercise! Help your friends! Do mushrooms and kill turtles! But will those messages resonate for someone (Emily) who has never played one of the official Mario games? Will that someone, who has barely played any video games, be able to clear the first level? On this week's Giant Geek vs. Mega n00b, we find out! If you don't still have an old Nintendo console from the 80s or 90s, fear not — you can find Super Mario Bro...
Stick It (2006)
June 19, 2016 01:48 - 36 minutesTopic: Stick It Geek: Emily Today we venture into the world of elite gymnastics - but we're not going to take it too seriously. Stick It is part snarky teen comedy and part inspirational sports movie, part send-up of the gymnastics world and part homage to the sport. I've been a fan of this beautiful little movie, complete with its high-profile gymnastics cameos, for quite a while. The balance of sarcastic humor and genuine heart is just too good to resist. But can Eric warm to a movie a...
The Big Lebowski (1998)
June 12, 2016 16:00 - 39 minutesSometimes, there's a podcast... And I'm talkin' about the Giant Geek versus the Mega n00b here... Sometimes there's a podcast and, well, it's the podcast for its time and place. It fits right in there. OK, just imagine how much better this description would sound if Sam Elliott were reading it. And now stop imagining how wonderful his voice is, because it's time to go watch a movie with us: The Big Lebowski. You can stream The Big Lebowski for free if you have an Amazon Prime subscription,...
The Big Sleep (1946)
May 29, 2016 02:14 - 36 minutesTopic: The Big Sleep Geek: Emily Bogart is back on the podcast! This time with his real-life wife and frequent on-screen partner Lauren Bacall. The Big Sleep is quintessential noir: a private eye, an array of untrustworthy dames and sketchy suits, and enough blackmail and dead bodies to turn a mobster's stomach. It has the added benefit of an almost hopelessly twisted plot you get to sort through every time almost like you're watching for the first time. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/p...
Edge of Tomorrow / Live Die Repeat (2014)
May 21, 2016 20:41 - 47 minutesThink about a Tom Cruise action movie. Okay, now forget everything you just thought of, because we're watching a Tom Cruise action movie where most of that won't apply. That will make sense after you watch this week's film Edge of Tomorrow, later re-titled for marketing purposes as Live Die Repeat after it bombed at the box office. The less you know about this film going in, the better, so go watch it and then join our Giant Geek vs. Mega n00b discussion! For more like this, check out the ...
