GATW Podcast Ep. 10: The Great Toon Swoon

The SHREK series is one that has met much financial and critical success since the first film was released back in 2001. The series has already grossed over a billion dollars just from the first three films, and finally, DreamWorks has decided to wrap up the series with SHREK FOREVER AFTER. The film’s release inspired us to talk about our favorite animated films of all time. Since Hollywood’s animation has moved more in favor of CG, we decided to include all forms of animation in our lists. And boy, our tastes in animated films are very eclectic!

GATW Podcast Ep. 9: 94 Days of Summer

It’s summertime, and the livin’ is officially easy. School’s out, finals are over, and the GATW podcasters are ready to hit the cinemas for all the explosion-filled goodness this time of year brings. We figured there would be no better way to ring the season in than to have a talk about all the big movies coming out in the next couple months.

GATW Podcast Ep. 8: Instant Gratification

There’s a little service that all of us GATW Podcasters use constantly; and that service is Netflix’s Watch Instantly option. After realizing we mention it in just about every episode, we decided it was due time to dedicate an episode to it. We really liked the idea a lot, and thought it would be cool to check up on the service every six months or so since its line-up is always changing. This will mark our first, and definitely not our last Netflix episode!

GATW Podcast Ep. 7: Future of Marvel

IRON MAN 2 is practically here, and we figured there would be no better way to reign in one of the biggest summer blockbusters than to dedicate an entire episode to Marvel. The future of Marvel is so bright these days (and dare we say ambitiously so) that it’s gonna need shades.

It’s hard to find someone who doesn’t like a little something extra, I know all of us at GATW do. So we thought it would be fun to bring you guys something extra and fun, and we made it happen. For this little surprise, we thought it would be fun to have a talk with actor Samm Levine (Freaks and Geeks, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS) and co-director Amber Benson about their new film DRONES, which was just shown at the USA Film Festival in Dallas, Texas.

GATW Podcast Ep. 6: Guest – Texas Frightmare Weekend Founder Loyd Cryer

Is it Halloween yet? Because things got a little spooky on this week’s episode of our podcast. Oh yeah, it’s because Texas Frightmare Weekend starts on Friday and we had to get into the Horror mentality.

GATW Podcast Ep 5: DALLAS IFF

The Dallas International Film Festival is a pretty big deal for the DFW area. Last year it teamed up with AFI and was known under that banner, but now they’ve gone independent and pulled out all the stops. We’ve been covering the festival and giving you guys plenty of interviews to watch, and figured it would be a good idea to talk about some of the stuff showing there!

GATW Podcast Ep. 4: Lists of Shame

A list of shame: everybody’s got one…and nobody likes to admit it. This embarrassing list consists of all the movies that you should have seen and are ashamed for not having seen them yet. Sometimes, a film will make your list for being an iconic and highly revered film; or for being the only film you haven’t seen by your favorite director. Our GATW podcasters are willing to throw it all on the line in this week’s podcast, and let you in on one of their biggest secrets.

GATW Podcast Episode 3: SXSW Recap

The boys and girls are back from the SXSW film festival in Austin! Flights got delayed, long ass car rides happened (flat tires included), and getting back into the swing of things hasn’t been easy. But maybe they can hold onto the memories, and throw down on what their experiences were like at the festival.

In this week’s episode, John and Will discuss what the SXSW Film Festival was like and all the fun to be had in Austin. Followed by their top five films of the festival and some of their honorable mentions. They wrap it up with some sweet moments as they discuss what it was like to meet face to face.
