Episode 106: Coyote vs. Acme

Even though we went to the Toronto International Film Festival this week, we still found time to visit our local AMC theater to see Coyote vs. Acme. This movie has everything you’d want in a live-action cartoon: great animation, strong comedic actors, and the heritage of Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote. Who could ask for anything more? Well, evidently us. We just couldn’t find the funny here. At least we had a great time at the film festival watching a taxidermist love story. Trust us, it was worth it.

Episode 107: Primetime

Get ready for an emotional ride into the disturbing world of pedophilia, TV news exploitation, and humanity’s morality. Primetime explores all this and so much more. You’re put right into the middle of one of TV’s biggest news magazine shows as it tracks down and lures pedophiles into an on-camera police sting operation. You cannot walk away from this film without being moved, but how and in which direction is going to be very personal. Tina and Stratis aren’t even in the same universe about the way this movie makes them feel. Let’s just say one of them couldn’t be happier - not sure if that’s a healthy place to be though. Buckle up for this one!

Episode 108: Digger

Digger is the latest Tom Cruise big-budget film, and it’s attempting to be a real intellectual blockbuster comedy. Instead, we get a neat plot twist and a heck of a lot of yelling, but that’s just not enough to carry the day. The creators wanted to comment on the state of the world and the petrochemical companies that wield immense power. Unfortunately, the audience that might be attracted to this film is probably already in the choir and won’t enjoy the ham-handed sermon. So if you like smart, intellectual dark comedies, maybe you should give 1964’s Doctor Strangelove a try instead.
