GATW Podcast Ep. 35: Adapt This

Adaptations are such a big part of Hollywood, as the flow of adaptations, remakes, and “reimaginings” has hit an all-time high. This inspired us to talk about some of our favorite adaptations and why we love them.

Additionally, we talk about Danny Boyle’s 127 HOURS, and delve into whether or not it’s worth all the hype. We then wrap up our discussion with our thoughts on season one of The Walking Dead and if this season lived up to the comics it is based on. You can check out the episode after the break!

Darren Aronofsky is one of the most respected filmmakers working today. Time and time again, he brings us quality films that challenge the ideas of what a film should be and what a film can do. Usually he achieves this through some extremely visually striking film making.

GATW Podcast Ep. 32: Beam Me Up Josh

Alien films have been a staple of cinema for pretty much its entire history, most especially so in the 1950’s. That is a trend that hasn’t changed much, as alien films are still just as prevalent even now. Even auteur Steven Spielberg has done several extra terrestrial films.

With the most recent alien film to hit the silver screen, SKYLINE, getting its release, we thought it would be fun to throw down on our favorite films that include any and all things alien. Hit the break to listen to the episode! Continue reading “GATW Podcast Ep. 32: Beam Me Up Josh” →

GATW Podcast Ep. 30: Doubly Talented

Few things are as important for a successful film than a director that understands the art of acting, a skill that has steered some of the best films that have ever been made. Subsequently, this is also why actors are also some of the best directors. With the recent release of Clint Eastwood’s (one of the most revered actor/directors of all time) HEREAFTER, we figured we’d throw down on our favorite movies by actor/directors.
