We have Brent, Chris, TJ and David finally discussing the last homework assignment (The Handmaiden), before the main topic: our mom’s favorite movies – in honor of Mother’s Day. Talking about how our mom’s taste in movies helped shape our taste. So, here’s your gift! … Uh, we’ll probably get a nice card too… And flowers? … And a real gift.

We’re trying something new – splitting our podcast IN TWAIN. First pod for the week will be Watchlist and Breezy on the Streets (News) – second pod will be Homework and a main topic. Same RSS feed – no change needed from your end, but these will end up being more digestible [but let us know your thoughts].

In this very special mini-episode (we’re calling it Small Talk), we have Brent, Chris and David discussing their Watchlists and deliver some Breezy on the Streets (Movie & TV News!) that goes off the rails. We got a homework extension for The Handmaiden – we’ve all seen it, we just want the whole crew here to be talk about it – same with a main topic. TJ is on assignment at the Sands Resort, fighting the good fight.
David is trying out a sieve jammer – Chris is becoming a Maester – and Brent reconfigures the Oracle. Makes sense to me.

In this episode, we have Brent, Chris, TJ and David discuss last week’s homework (Monsters), their Watchlists, some Breezy on the Streets (Movie & TV News!) before going into the main topic: in honor of this week’s NFL Draft – we are doing our own draft – drafting desert island movies with NFL team names. But it’s more complicated than that. Delightfully arcane rules of elimination and selection are abound in this week’s podcast – even if you don’t like football, this should be fun.

In this episode, we have Brent, Chris, TJ and David discuss last week’s homework (Filth), their Watchlists, some Breezy on the Streets (Trailers, returning TV, etc.) before going into the main topic (another Facebook suggestion!): checking what movie or TV show you mentally associate with an actor or actress. Like, who is Idris Elba to you? – Luther? Stringer Bell? That branch manager for two episodes of The Office? Shooter McGavin? A psychologically revealing episode this week.

The eleventhepisode of The Media By Us pan-media podcast, Talkie Talk.

The tenth episode of The Media By Us pan-media podcast, Talkie Talk.
In this episode, we have Brent, Chris, TJ and David discuss their Watchlist/Playlist, some brand new trailers debuting (trailers!) before going into the main topic: movies with a “rotten” rating (<50%) on Rotten Tomatoes, that are worth watching. Sometimes, RT’s ratings give short shrift to some worthwhile movies (or we just like it anyway… and can’t explain it).
We go through genres and movies that you shouldn’t let your media-Oracle filter out from your viewing Obelisk. So to speak.

The rest… is history.
(Bonus fact: TJ and Brent have the best match in favorite films with 12 out of the 32 years… Just the two of us, making castles in the sand…)

Game of Thrones is a great show.
It’s a great show to watch – a great show to talk about – and a great show for theorizing. However. It’s going to be a while before we can do any of that.
Season 6 started in April 2016 – the news just broke that the anticipated Season 7 will premiere July 16th. At least is July of this year. So far. The reason for the delay is apparently due to weather – since Winter Is Coming, they wanted to shoot during winter months (in a show that has multiple computer-generated dragons, white specks are a dealbreaker).
So what do we do until then? Figure out something else to scratch this itch until June.
Consider the Viking. Specifically, Vikings, the History Channel Norse epic.
The eighth episode of The Media By Us pan-media podcast, Talkie Talk.
In this episode, we have Brent, Chris, TJ and David discuss their Watchlist/Playlist, talk about a board game (Code Names) before going into the main topic: the life and work of Bill Paxton, with general discussion as we go through his career on Rotten Tomatoes.
