Bald Move Prestige - The Color Purple (1985)

Special thanks to D’Nique G, who commissioned us to watch the 1985 Steven Spielberg film, “The Color Purple”, based on the novel by Alice Walker and starring Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Danny Glover. While we found some of the tonal shifts and musical choices in the first half bizarre, the movie nevertheless drew us into the story of one woman’s triumph over countless adversities, and the ending of this movie has a heart as big, wide, and bright as Celie’s smile.

The Legend of Drunken Master – LiveWatch

Jim and A.Ron, intrigued by AMC’s upcoming “Into the Badlands” and ongoing “Kung Fu Fridays”, decided to do a little something to get into the spirit. So we queued up the Jackie Chan classic, “Drunken Master 2”, aka “The Legend of Drunken Master”, and recorded ourselves watching it. Is that interesting or entertaining? Hell if we know, maybe you can let us know. Use the embedded video to sync up your personal copy or stream with our commentary, and see if our Bald Move technique is unbeatable!

LWJ&A – Episode 43 – Insomnia, Streaming, Chia Disaster

In this week’s episode, we learn that Jim is a horrible plant daddy, that A.Ron’s sleep has been Taken, and the guys have some petty First World problems with various streaming services as they hint at some future projects and features coming to Club Bald Move.

Breaking Good - 310 – The Fly

Jim and A.Ron look into a fairly polarizing episode of Breaking Bad, episode 310, “The Fly”. Some see it as a slow, ponderous, pointless exercise in budget cutting, while others see a beautiful, rich, thematic character study resting entirely on the performances of Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston. Listen in to find out which side of the divide we fall on!

Fear The Watching Dead - 104 – Not Fade Away

Jim and A.Ron mourn the loss of their nine days of end-of-civilization goodness they were confronted with in episode 104, “Not Fade Away”. We discuss the softer side of Team Barbershop, Madison’s potentially not-so-secret past as an alcoholic, the flimsy, one dimensional banality of evil represented by Lt. Moyer, and debate a few theories of what we’ll discover on arrival at the nearby military hospital facility. All this and tons of great community feedback, coming your way.

Bald Move Prestige - The Way of the Gun (2000)

Much thanks to Nick Knol for commissioning the 2000 Christopher McQuarrie film, “The Way of the Gun”, starring Ryan Phillippe, Benicio del Toro, and Juliette Lewis. As dark, gritty, violent, funny, post-Tarantino quasi-western fable, we found a lot to enjoy, but wondered if the plot was too convoluted for it’s own good. In this we discuss questionable obstetrics, geriatric hitmen, and our inner outlaws.
