This week we want to pump you up, as we review Michael Bay's roided-out American Dream made celluloid, Pain & Gain. We're joined by Da7e, who isn't technically a special guest but who hasn't reviewed a movie with us in ages, so it felt special anyway.

This week we are shocked and horrified to learn that Michael Bay apologized on behalf of Armageddon. Katey talks about her experience at the Indie Grits Film Festival and David is feeling more optimistic than ever about the Tribeca Film Festival.

In Oblivion Tom Cruise thinks he's the last man on earth, but he's wrong… because we're here with him, wondering why his movie is so derivative from a million other sci-fi films, and how we can steal his Yankees hat.

This week we are joined by The Place Beyond the Pines director Derek Cianfrance to talk about his new film, his ongoing collaboration with Ryan Gosling, his dreams of making a musical and much more. We also talk about the Sundance series Top of the Lake

What do the pigs mean? How about the worms? Did he survive the same trauma that she did? Does the Foley recording have anything to do with the kidnapping and the surgery? Those are just a handful of questions we wound up asking about Upstream Color

This week we are joined by Todd Berger, the writer and director of the new indie comedy It's A Disaster. At Todd's suggestion we discuss the under-appreciated 1985 comedy Clue, then spend some time nitpicking Skyfall, remember Roger Ebert...

What is real life, and what is a dream? Why is Rosario Dawson appearing inside our heads? And how did she know the right way to trim her hair… no, not that hair, the hair… down there. These questions and more are pondered as we review Danny Boyle's Trance

We've been disavowed by our government, half of our team is dead, and the President has been taken over by a shapeshifter named Zartan, but that won't stop us from heroically-- heroically!-- bringing you our review of G.I. Joe: Retaliation, with special g

This week special guest Scott Beggs joins us for a very serious and not at all sexy conversation about Spring Breakers and the cultural trope of the teen girl meltdown

Olympus has fallen, and the only person who can revive it is Eric D. Snider, who we bring in to help us review the new Gerard Butler action film Olympus Has Fallen. Is it too violent? Is it ridiculous? Is it kind of great anyway? All that and more.

This week we bring in publicist Brandon Rohwer to help us dig through the confusing world that is VOD film rentals, but only after we indulge in some speculation about Jurassic Park 4.

Choosing to ignore a movie about Halle Berry on a phone and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (despite the fact that Patches has hired himself as the movie's new publicist), we review the super-small release Ginger & Rosa, from director Sally Potter.

We discuss the recent turmoil in the visual effects industry, bring back a slightly cleaner version of Film Centipede, Patches recounts his recent Dungeons & Dragons experience and we all fall hard for Spring Breakers.
