479: Big Fish

This week, we're chatting about the Tim Burton fantasy Big Fish! We talk about bummer b-plots (that really should have been more of the film), how Jessica Lange singlehandedly sells the romance, and how glad we are that this movie didn't star a de-aged Jack Nicholson (really).

This week, we're chatting about a sweet and earnest film about friendship and growing up/a piece of unmitigated Pants propaganda: Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants! We discuss how wild it is to fridge an 11 year old, wonder what's going on with Lena's subplot, and make America Ferrera president (of our hearts).   Produced by Andrew Ivimey as part of The From Superheroes Network   Visitwww.FromSuperheroes.com for more podcasts, articles, video series, web comics, and more.

This week, we're covering a series of films that has made everyone go, "What? Why?" It's The Hobbit trilogy, and joining us are LOTR superfans and hosts of The Fandom Show, Steph Malek and Kyah Green! We discuss terrible CGI, a scene that made Steph leave the theatre in sheer rage, and get into how much Benedict Cumberbatch clearly liked playing Smaug (a LOT).   Produced by Andrew Ivimey as part of The From Superheroes Network   Visit www.FromSuperheroes.com for more podcasts, articles, video series, web comics, and more.

It's the happiest day of Kat's life because we're talking about the latest film in her favourite franchise, Now You See Me: Now You Don't!

This week, bustin' makes us feel... fine? cause we're talking about Ghostbusters 2!

This week, we're talking about the 1995 punk-riot grrl-kangaroo fantasia, TANK GIRL!

This week we're joined by the de-lovely Diana McCallum to discuss the thinking man's blockbuster: Stargate!
