Bald Move Prestige - Jack Frost (1998)

The Merry Culkin Keatmas rages on with our podcast that brings the Keaton to Keatmas, 1998’s box office bomb, Jack Frost.  The film isn’t great, but we managed to extract a surprising amount of fun and holiday cheer from it.  Enjoy!  And don’t forget Lunch coming this Friday!  Next week we’ll tackle Home Alone with both LiveWatch and podcast.  See you then!

Watching Dead - A Walking Dead Podcast - 807 – Time for After

AMC’s The Walking Dead presents for us a perfect storm of mullet, trash people, rapid onset morgalizing, and terrible action sequences.  Except in the actual perfect storm it was two terrible things coming together to make a larger terrible thing, and in “Time for After” it’s four.  Regardless, George Clooney and Marky Mark ain’t making it out alive.  The question Jim and I are left with is, do we go down with the ship?  Or accept coast guard rescue?  Honestly, I’ve kind of lost the metaphor at this point, but if Gimple can do it, so can I!

Jack Frost (1998) – LIVEWATCH

The first present of our Merry Culkin Keatmas Christmas celebration has been opened!  Sit back and sync up our Live Watch commentary with your copy of the ill conceived and ill fated 1998 Michael Keaton / horrifying snowman puppet / CGI monstrosity Jack Frost!  See if you can spot the Robert Baratheon cameo before we do!  Can you solve the mystery of the woman who against all evidence is not actually Elizabeth Shue?  Thrill to us trying to decipher the dialog of Charlie “the Brain” Frost’s marble-mouthed performance.  And have your heart warmed by a story featuring a boy who loses his father on Christmas — TWICE! — while we play to Grinch who picks the film apart!  And if Live Watches aren’t your thing, wait until Wednesday, when we release a podcast where we recap what we learned and took away from old Jack. 

2-Bit Encryption - A Mr. Robot Podcast - 308 – eps3.7_dont-delte-me.ko

USA Network’s Mr. Robot offers us a quieter, more introspective, but no less fascinating episode this week.  A possible turning point for the series and our protagonist, as told through a meditation on suicide and death as seen through the lens of deletion.  And if the material didn’t grab you, my god, the visuals.  Sam goes all out and widens the scope to “Cinema” both literally and stylistically offering us one lush and well crafted scene after another.  Just two more episodes to come, what can Esmail and company do to keep raising the narrative and artistic stakes?  See you next week to find out!

Watching Dead - A Walking Dead Podcast - 806 – The King, The Widow and Rick

Jim and A.Ron are not sure whether to laugh or cry with the latest from AMC’s The Walking Dead, “The King, The Widow, and Rick”.  On the one hand, this is a garbage show, now populated with literally, for real, garbage people.  On the other hand, Rosita vaporized a guy with a rocket launcher.  In a warehouse.  From 30 feet away.  That’s garbage, but it’s funny garbage.  We break down this fiasco as per usual with supporting fire from our fellow fans in the feedback section.
