The Gentlemen

The Film Board ·

2020/01/28

Here’s something you may not have expected to open up 2020: a Guy Ritchie film about organized crime released in part by Miramax. Maybe around the turn of the century, sure, but we’ve got a fresh take on Guy Ritchie gold that came out in theaters this week with The Gentlemen. Naturally, we want to take a nip of this particular concoction and see how it holds up to the good old recipe of the past. This one has a fun cast of fan favorites with Matthew McConaughey, Charlie Hunnam, Michelle

2019/12/24

What a brilliant end to a decade! We’re wrapping it up with the ultimate film in the Skywalker Saga from that Star Wars galaxy far, far away: Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker. It will likely be impossible for us to talk about this without revealing major spoilers about this film that’s 42 years in the making, so tune in if you’re cool with sapping some of the surprises or go see it and then check in with us here as our conversation goes deep into its story, its execution, its

Knives Out

The Film Board ·

2019/11/26

SURPRISE! The Film Board snuck out and saw an advance screening this month, so we’re in spoiler Shangri-la to chat about Knives Out before it's even officially released! It’s a traditional “whodunit” that Rian Johnson has packed full with family entanglements that make multiple money murder motives. There’s so many reasons we wanted to check this thing out and many of them come from the remarkable cast including Daniel Craig, Jamie Lee Curtis, Don Johnson, Toni Collette, and others.Join

Zombieland: Double Tap

The Film Board ·

2019/10/22

It’s deja vu all over again as The Film Board tackles a second sequel month in a horror realm. This one has a serious cast blasting away with comic relief in Zombieland: Double Tap. It's been ten years since the original, and the marketing wasn’t shy about bringing up how its stars have shifted. So has anything changed in the land of Z since Emma Stone, Jesse Eisenberg, Abigail Breslin, and Woody Harrelson have hauled in so many awards and nominations?Join Tommy Metz III, Pete Wright, and

It Chapter Two

2019/09/10

Let’s go back to school with It Chapter Two. The Film Board made a pact last month that we’d return to Derry with the other losers if It came back. Well It’s here and in this one, the kids are all grown up with Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, and James McAvoy playing our heroes. Will the sequel have the record-setting legs of its predecessor? Is It the greatest Stephen King thriller of all time? There’s a lot to talk about here as long as we’ve got the courage to fight the fear.Join Tommy

Where’d You Go, Bernadette

The Film Board ·

2019/08/20

The Film Board returns from hiatus this week and we figured that we’d welcome everyone back in by answering the question - Where’d You Go, Bernadette. The Richard Linklater film stars Cate Blanchett and is based on the book by Maria Semple. While the book is a collection of fictional correspondence meant to take the reader on creative scavenger hunt, the film sets up to be a deeper dramedy about how hard it is to be human and how we cope with managing our extreme strengths and debilitating

Yesterday

The Film Board ·

2019/07/12

There have been some great British music biopics in the last year. They tend to garner some criticism for the way that history is manipulated to make movie drama. Also each one handles the original artists’ music in different ways. This month, Danny Boyle’s Yesterday was released in theaters and it shares with us the joy and the experience of The Beatles’ music by imagining a world where they didn't exist. That’s one way to ditch the criticism - go full fiction!This story is meant to be a

Pokémon: Detective Pikachu

The Film Board ·

2019/05/14

"That’s a twist. That’s very twisty."You may or may not have a connection to the world of the pocket monsters affectionately called Pokémon, but this month The Film Board is following its new movie in theaters that seeks to sate the adorable appetites of fans young and old in Pokémon: Detective Pikachu. It’s a CGI romp that’s meant to depict the clever characters of the card game in a way that places them photoreal by our side in the real world, much like the Pokémon Go! app has done in an

Avengers: Endgame

The teams at Disney have put out specific warnings and requests not to spoil Avengers: Endgame, but you know this thing is the core of what The Film Board is all about! If you don’t want to be spoiled, don’t click on this because we all saw the movie and are just itching and scratching to discuss it with you and dispense with the spoilage!

"I’m not what you think I am."Attention true believers! The Film Board is approaching the home stretch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe Phase Three. It's wrapping up over two successive months here in 2019. The big one of course is next month's Avengers: Endgame, but first let's dig into the penultimate Captain Marvel. The conversation on this episode will potentially spoil 22 films' worth of successive blockbuster suspense, so consider yourself forewarned.Pete Wright, Andy Nelson, Steve

Happy Death Day 2U

2019/02/19

"Uh, Who is this crazy white girl?"Horror abounds for The Film Board in February and this year is no different. We woke up in the same scary month this year with Happy Death Day 2U specially released for the sweetheart holiday in the middle of Valentine's week. It’s quite surely a screaming sequel and it really would be terribly odd if you tried to tackle it without the first one (from 2017) too, so be prepared as you click with us here because we’re going to spoil them both in this

“We’re finally being let into the universe.”Happy New Year everyone! The Film Board is respawning for you here this January with Glass from M. Night Shyamalan. Is it a sequel to Unbreakable? Is it a sequel to Split? Or is it something altogether different? The debate about this film should be super with an angle on origin and another on a Special Edition Showdown and openings for more.

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

2018/12/18

"It always fits eventually."Here’s a gift for the whole family from The Film Board’s clan to yours - the thugs went out and saw our first official show-sanctioned animated film this week, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It’s a break from what we usually do on our monthly show and the movie itself is a bit of a break from what you might expect in animation as well as what comic book movies and movies with Marvel properties have become in the industry. This movie is very different.Listen

Green Book

"You never win with violence. You only win when you maintain your dignity."The Film Board spent the holiday weekend giving thanks and watching Green Book, a dramedy based on the true story of master pianist Dr. Don Shirley touring the American deep south in the 1960s. It’s back-to-back biopics for our guys with similar historical time focus as well. This movie highlights individual struggles to understand identity and build unity as America was on its way to take profoundly progressive

“We need to fail down here so we don’t fail up there.”Buckle up for an intense journey on this one with The Film Board as we examine the story of struggles and successes that adorn the space race and the USA’s historic effort to reach the Moon. First Man is a Neil Armstrong biopic delivered to us by Oscar Winning Director Damien Chazelle. Teaming up with Ryan Gosling here again as he did in La La Land, Chazelle is attacking a different kind of film than we’ve seen from him before.Steve

The Predator

“The data suggests that it tracks its prey, exploits weakness. Seems to enjoy it, like a game.”The concept from Predator has been through a number of evolutions as a film and a franchise, so in this show we’ll dissect the DNA infusions brought to the bunch with the latest release. Written and Directed by Film Board favorite Shane Black, we’re excited to examine what’s new and different here as well as the appropriate level of homage to the classic-ly clever sci fi action horror

“Looks like someone had a real piñata party.”What the heck is going on?! The Film Board was ROFL when the trailer for The Happytime Murders was released, so we decided to take a flyer and check to see if Melissa McCarthy and the Henson Gang could keep the raunchy laughs coming. We don’t usually tackle pure comedies at The Film Board so this conversation could be a pivotal point in our movie choices for the future.Join Andy Nelson, Tommy Metz III, and Justin 'JJ' Jaeger as we consider the

“They’re alive. Just like me.”Volcanoes, clones, and lizards oh my! Let’s all get Jurassic with it this month as we venture back to join the forsaken children of Isla Nublar for a fifth time. The Film Board is going to erupt a bunch of spoilage on Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom in this episode, with intermittent narration from Jeff Goldblum. (not IRL, but surely he’ll pop up once or three times... it couldn’t fit into the franchise without it, right?)Last month we talked about the
