The Film Board

Ever leave the theater desperate to talk about that one wild scene, that questionable plot twist, or the inexplicably shirtless cameo? The Film Board is here for you. Each month, host Pete Wright assembles a panel of film obsessives—Tommy Metz III, Steve Sarmento, Justin Jaeger, and an ever-rotating cast of co-conspirators—for a round-table deep dive into the latest movies in theaters. Spoilers? Absolutely. Hot takes? Always. Polite, nuanced disagreement? We aspire. Perfect for film fans who love

Gravity

2013/10/28

We’re on a trip to space with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in this month’s Film Board review of Cuarón & Son’s astro-tacular, Gravity. Join Steve Sarmento, Tommy Metz III, Andy Nelson, and Pete Wright as we pull apart a film miraculously greater than the sum of its pretty good parts. We pull apart the film, the performance(s), the writing, but most of all (spoiler) we lavish unheard of praise on Emmanuel Lubezki and the stunning digital filmmaking pouring from his hands. It’s a

Prisoners

2013/09/22

The next time your young daughter asks if she can take Joy to your house on the other side of the neighborhood, the correct answer is a resounding "no." Such is the lesson from this week's Film Board subject, Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners. Join Steve Sarmento, Mike Evans, Andy Nelson, and Pete Wright as we discuss the strong performances across the cast, led by the captivating Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal. We talk about the spellbinding cinematography of one of our favorites in the

You're Next

The Film Board ·

2013/08/27

Spoiler alert — the crew is as divided on You're Next as we have ever been on this show. Director Adam Wingard's home invasion horror romp has been hailed as "clever," "deliciously twisted," and that it "streamlines the gory stuff for something truly shocking: good characters." So, is it really the refreshing attempt to turn the genre on its ear? Or is it dumb dumb stupid dumb and the sign of the fall of civilization? Join Steve Sarmento, Tommy Metz III, Andy Nelson, and Pete Wright as they

The Wolverine

The Film Board ·

2013/07/29

The Film Board gathers! It's a full house this week as we take on the latest clawed brawler from Marvel, The Wolverine. The crew agrees: there are some stunningly beautiful sequences in this film, and while Jackman's Wolverine rarely disappoints, on the whole the film loses steam tragically too early and delivers an ultimately forgettable experience. Steve shares his report on the Atmos experience of The Wolverine, which may make the film worth seeing on the big screen, if you have such a

World War Z

2013/06/23

The curse is broken! The Film Board gathers and we finally have a movie that all of us like! It's Brad Pitt against the world's nasty plague problem on the show this week and Steve, Andy, and Pete talk about why you should see World War Z, why you should like this film, and why it's culturally far more relevant than a run-of-the-mill zombie thriller. That's right, we're cutting against the grain this week on The Film Board so check out this film and join us for a chat on Pitt and the world

Now You See Me

The Film Board ·

2013/06/03

It's a Very Special Episode for this month's Film Board gathering. Today on the show, Steve Sarmento and Chadd Stoops join Andy Nelson and Pete Wright to take on the great Next Reel Crossover with Now You See Me — a magical heist film of skeptical proportions. Director Louis Leterrier takes The Four Horsemen Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco and manufactures the epic stage show. Does it hold up to scrutiny? Is this finally the Morgan Freeman/Michael Caine

42

The Film Board ·

2013/04/14

The Film Board gathers to take on this weekend's new release, 42. This Jackie Robinson biopic comes with some misgivings, not the least of which comes in writer-director Brian Helgeland's script. The Board is moved somewhere between "stark and emotionless" to "Lifetime Movie of the Week" with this entry into cinema baseball-dom, with a few noted highlights: Chadwick Boseman and Nicole Beharie offer standout performances in this otherwise middling sports fare. Join Andy Nelson, Steve

Oz the Great and Powerful

2013/03/11

The Film Board gathers to take on Disney's latest trip to the Emerald Kingdom. This week on the show, Steve Sarmento and Tommy Metz III join Andy and Pete to pull apart Oz The Great and Powerful, and pull it apart they do. Clumsy scripting? Trouble with the protagonist? Witches that can shoot lightning from their fingers throwing away everything because of a crush on a boy? All that, and we're still swept away by the magic of the final act. Listen in for why we think this is a great

Side Effects

2013/02/11

The band is back together! And this month, the illustrious Film Board gathers its ranks to take on Steven Soderbergh's "final" film, Side Effects. Haven't seen it yet? Don't worry, we'll spoil it for you, but it won't matter – you won't understand it anyway. Chadd Stoops, Steve Sarmento, Mike Evans, and newcomer Tommy Metz III join Andy and Pete to hash out just how Soderberghian this film really is, the overwhelmingly satisfying performances from the key actors throughout this complex
