Special thanks once again to Andrew “The Commissioner” Mount, for having us do the 2001 Christopher Nolan movie, “Memento”. Starring Guy Pierce and Carrie-Anne Moss, Memento is an engaging, cerebral, well crafted thriller mystery with an ingenious plot device that plays with our sense of memory and time. We both highly recommend you see this movie before listening to the podcast, as the first time viewing experience of this movie is hard to beat, and it’s an excellent film. If you can find it please give it a shot and then come back and see what we had to say about it.
Thanks, Andrew, that was fun and intellectually stimulating! Do you have something you’d like us to blab about on a special podcast just for you? Find out how you can commission your very own podcast right here.
Starts approximately at 1pm EST! Grab a brew, a sammich, and have a good time hanging out with us in the Bald Move studio. We’ll talk TV, movies, games, life, the universe, and whatever you want to send in using the embedded Q&A app!
Thanks once again to Andrew “The Commissioner” Mount for ponying up for our coverage of the wonderful 2003 film, “The Station Agent”. Staring a murderer’s row of Bald Move stars; Peter Dinklage, John Slattery, and Bobby Canavale among others, and directed by The Wire alumnus Thomas McCarthy, it is many things… A slow burn, life affirming, a study of loneliness and isolation, and the effects on being truly different on your perception and interfacing with everyday life. I highly recommend everyone watching it, and it’s free on Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant!
Jim and A.Ron discuss the problems of the glut of Golden Age television. How do you decide what to watch? How do you decide what to let go? Can you ever catch up? All this and more is pondered over Lunch.
Jim and A.Ron discuss their religious past and pull something from the dark recesses of the Bald Move studio closet… an alpha version of the card game “The Society” that the boys created years ago to explain what it feels like to grow up in a cult.
Special thanks to Keith Alejandro who pulled the trigger on this Commissioned Podcast, covering the 2005 David Cronenberg directed thriller, “A History of Violence”, starring everyone’s favorite ranger, Viggo Mortensen. Jim and A.Ron talk about the multiple meanings of the title, the human capacity for violence, survival of the fittest, the strong’s societal obligation to the weak, and how sea turtles make surprisingly effective, though extremely cruel, living refrigerators.
We get real today as we talk about our reactions to the new Scientology documentary on HBO, “Going Clear”, and how it relates to growing up in a cult of our own.
Jim and A.Ron debate the pros and cons of celebrity interviews, the Parks and Rec finale, and the woes of growing a digital business.
Jim and A.Ron will be brainstorming ideas for new content today. Join in the fun, and maybe make a few suggestions of your own! Q&A Thread for the “Trollcast”! Bald Move Club member access only…
