And the winter of our discontent has ended with FOR YOUR EYES ONLY...sort of. A mediocre slog through the bushes with Roger Moore!

Our final podcast episode of the year is Ralph Bakshi's LORD OF THE RINGS! Inevitably we talk about Peter Jackson, high fantasy in general, click clacking of keyboards, and the omnipresent sound of us eating reverberating throughout the episode!

And it's Commentary time again! Matt and I are back with inarguably the most whole of the film series, A NEW HOPE, the movie that most describes why we are the way we are!
As always, this isn't a traditional podcast, so tune in next time for something more podcasty!

Another Hiatus breaker (Man we are all about hiatus): HIGHLANDER 2: THE RENEGADE VERSION. We talk about how...incredible...this movie is, what it does right, what it does wrong, and general meanderings!
Thanks for stopping by!

After a month long technical hiatus we are back with 1974's THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN! While we enjoyed it more than the previous few, we talk about what could have gone right with it, and we avoid the most obvious part of the movie as well!

Lars and Luke, Brothers in Arms, talking about every fantasy film they've ever seen, want to see, what makes them tick, what makes them not work, what's better, what's worse.
What we define as a fantasy: If it's readily apparent, if someone could or does pull out a sword and it doesn't require additional context to make sense, it's a fantasy. Raiders of the Lost Ark isn't a fantasy. The Mummy is.
This arbitrary definition will be used and ignored at a moments notice for comedy.
