FOLLOWING FILMS

On this episode we celebrate Labor Day by hitting the road with journalists developing a professional and personal relationship with their subjects. The first film is one of those that is perhaps too famous among cinephiles to talk about with any objectivity or fresh insight, Cameron Crowe’s modern classic ALMOST FAMOUS. Nevertheless guest Rod from The Listening Party podcast helps us do just that by sending the film that won Jeff Bridges an Oscar up to the War Machine Horse slaughter with CRAZY HORSE. But first, regular collaborator and man crush, Dave from the Pop Culture Case Study podcast hits the road for new release THE END OF THE TOUR.

On this episode Karly from That Pop This Life joins us to talk about the dream life of Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky, which is the remake of Abre Los Ojos. Listen to our latest to find out which life extension journey you should take, the original or the remake.

THE CONGRESS presents us with an interesting choice in its story of a fictional version of Robin Wright... And since we won't pretend to understand this film completely, though it is fun to try, we present a simpler choice to our audience: THE MATRIX vs. VANILLA SKY. Chris Maynard tries to steer us in the right direction with our choices, but we still end up in a car with an agitated Cameron Diaz.

In episode 43, Peter is joined again by previous guest Karly of the That Pop This Life (@ThatPopThisLife) and Talking Shondaland (@ShondaTalk) Podcasts for a Bonus discussion about Aloha ! We start off non-spoiler and give whether we recommend this movie or not and then we get into details. Outro music: Cold War Kids - First Listen to Episode 144 of War Machine Vs. War Horse where Peter was a guest and they give a non-spoiler review of Aloha and then discuss Jerry Maguire and Elizabethtown by clicking HERE . Read Eric's review of Jerry Maguire at our blog site HERE .

On this episode we look at Cameron Crowe's repeated professional meltdowns, some leading to more cinematic success such as JERRY MAGUIRE and the the familiar formula not working ELIZABETHTOWN. Peter from Hydrate Level Four and the Original Remake podcast joins the show to see if Crowe's new film ALOHA is a remake of the charm of his earlier work or the repeated missteps seen in his later filmography.
