GATW Podcast Ep. 55: Super Serumed

After talking about it endlessly, and praying to the gods of Asgard for the CAPTAIN AMERICA movie to come out, it has finally hit the big screen. This may not be Marvel’s first attempt at bringing THE FIRST AVENGER to the big screen, but this is easily the quintessential version. We’ve all seen it, and we were very happy to dig right in.

We also dig into the AMAZING SPIDER-MAN trailer, and Captain Planet even showed up for a bit.

GATW Podcast Ep. 52: Bay Day

Michael Bay has been wowing audiences with his big budget explosion fests for over 15 years now, yet sometimes he gets a bad rap for the way he does things. All of us at the GATW Podcast feel quite the opposite however, and are immensely excited for the release of his upcoming film TRANSFORMERS: DARK OF THE MOON.

In its honor, we decided to do a retrospective on Michael Bay’s career thus far, and talk about our favorites and not-so-favorites. You can check out the episode after the break! Continue reading “GATW Podcast Ep. 52: Bay Day” →

GATW Podcast Ep. 51: The Year Thus Far

GREEN LANTERN is finally here, which means that we have made our way through the first leg of the summer blockbuster season- which means we’ve had a number of movies already hit theaters. With that in mind, we wanted to take a look back to see what we have liked so far this year. That, along with our thoughts on GREEN LANTERN, some news, and TV talk wrap up the first half of the year.

GATW Podcast Ep. 49: Groovy Movies

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS is finally here, and showing us a side of the X-Men that we have yet to see on the big screen. That is, what they were like in the swinging ’60’s. Because of this, we not only give our thoughts on how the film turned out, we also give our thoughts on the best films from the ’60’s. It was a decade of wonder and progression for film, and in many ways, it helped lead to what modern film is today.

GATW Podcast Ep. 48: Hang Overrated

Some movies come out and are an instant hit with audiences, nothing proves this more than the 2009 smash hit comedy THE HANGOVER. Somehow, for some inexplicable reason, audiences rushed to theaters to see this R-rated comedy and the general consensus was extremely positive. The film went on to break many records that had been set before it. It came as no surprise to anyone when a sequel was announced. THE HANGOVER PART II is now out, and we throw down on whether it is just as good, better, or worse than the original.

GATW Podcast Ep. 47: For The Ladies

Oftentimes romantic comedies get clumped into a category called “chick flicks”, since it is quite common that some men might not be into them. That isn’t the case over here at the GATW Podcast. We love these movies just as much as anyone, and that’s why it was only right that we honor some of our favorites, since they transcend these barriers for us. We feel no shame, and you get to hear us display our more sentimental sides.
