The /Filmcast Ep. 121 – Paranormal Activity 2

by Peter Barta in Movies471 days ago

C. Robert Cargill joins The /Filmcast this week to review Paranormal Activity 2.  He starts the show by discussing Community, praising its clever writing and imploring people to continue watching.  Dave recently watched [REC] and [REC2], and really enjoyed them quite a bit.  Devindra saw Back to the Future in theaters (unsurprisingly great) and has been watching Caprica.  Adam rounds out the first segment as he recently saw Wet Hot American Summer and Vampire’s Kiss (news flash: Nic Cage is crazy). The big news of the week is that Darren...

/Filmcast Ep. 73 – Antichrist

by Jon Cole in Movies836 days ago

Michael Dougherty, director of the recently reviewed Trick ‘r Treat,  joins the regular crew this week to talk about Lars Von Trier’s latest film, Antichrist.  Naturally, the What’ve You Been Watching segment is dominated by horror films in the looming shadow of Halloween, with yet another discussion about Paranormal Activity. The guys talk about Keychest, a cloud-based movie storage system that’s being developed by Disney.  The sentiment over DRM seems very similar to that of the video game community, especially with...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 136: Finger Twister

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies838 days ago

Halloween is upon us, so the TRS boys have taken this opportunity to dress up and Dan clearly wins this one with some good ‘ol PBS love. Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant is the movie this week and Dan is the only one who has good things to say about it. It looks like it skews young, but there may be some enjoyment to glean from it. When and why did John C. Reilly go from Paul Thomas Anderson films to Will Ferrel comedies and children’s movies? The Game with a Name segment returns, this time with Katie Featherston and Micah...

CastMedium Podcast 009 – 10.26.09

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, Tech838 days ago

Episode 9 is here, but it almost wasn’t. Our secret podcasting machine decided to crash just as we hit the stop button after recording the first time around, but Monday is CastMedium Podcast day, so we sucked it up and did it all over again. I present to you, episode 009 – take 2. A lot happened in the podcast world last week so we are talking about it. 1UP’s new premier podcast, 4 Guys 1UP, had its first episode and it was a strong start. All 3 of us gush over The Engadget Show with Steve Ballmer, and express our dismay over the...

The Totally Rad Show – Episode 135: Tit For Tat

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, TV844 days ago

The first movie up this week is Where the Wild Things Are. There was a lot of anticipation for this movie considering its roots and director. The guys praise the look that Spike Jonze achieved, but it just didn’t have the “Je ne sais quoi” factor that they were hoping for. On the other hand, Jeff and Dan are raving about Paranormal Activity, with Jeff calling it one of the best executed films he has ever seen. Uncharted 2 takes up the whole game section and everyone loved it. Dan states that he felt the story was actually less...

The Geekbox: Episode 34

by Jonathan Downin in Games856 days ago

Karen Chu is not on this week, but her husband Patrick Joynt is and he is a worthy stand-in. If it wouldn’t prove to be weird with Karen and Patrick on we would call for him to be a regular. Patrick starts this one off with some PSPgo criticism and points to the Ars Technica review which pulls no punches as his go-to overview. Discussions about the Uncharted 2 review scores and Shadow Complex get blown-through before the group get into their forte of covering comics and tabletop games. The talk turns to predictions on the best games of the...

/Filmcast Ep. 69 – Surrogates

by Jon Cole in Movies863 days ago

This week’s /Filmcast kicks off with Dave and Devindra’s impressions of the new handheld-shot, indie horror film Paranormal Activity.  Both guys agree that the film does far more for the genre than The Blair Witch Project without having to rely on a huge marketing push to build tension.  They don’t hesitate to recommend it, but with a strong suggestion of watching this movie in a packed theater to have that communal experience. The first two segments hit on television premieres and highlight the controversy behind the Roman...
