Show Notes
The guys have something to say about BACK TO THE FUTURE PART II this week, but it's not what you'd expect. Once they get that out of their system, Evan covers VICTORIA, which gets Dave speaking German and Franch, yes that's right, Franch. After a brief tangent on ALIEN and confusion about who is in the movie 88 MINUTES, Evan talks about how VICTORIA takes a while to get going, becomes super tense, and then overstays its welcome. Then Dave jumps in to describe Idris Elba's cockswagger in Cary Fukunaga's BEASTS OF NO NATION, a good film also that overstays its welcome, on top of being heavy and horrifying. After that, Kris talks about THE LAST WITCH HUNTER's magical dismemberment and why he loves Vin Diesel so much. Lastly, Dave stars in a new segment called Riedel's Recaps, where he offers counterpoints to Kris and Evan's previous reviews of STEVE JOBS and DRUNK STONED BRILLIANT DEAD.
