Ep. 171 of War Machine vs. War Horse: The End of the Tour (Almost Famous vs. Crazy Heart)

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.

Ep. 113 of War Machine vs. War Horse: Fifty Shades of Grey (Nine 1/2 Weeks vs. Secretary)

On this episode we attempt to break out of the podcast rut and rekindle the flame by taking the advice of new video release FIFTY SHADES OF GREY and talking about two older films about a submissive and dominate relationship between a man in woman with 1986’s NINE 1/2 WEEKS and 2002’s SECRETARY. But the only real dominance to be seen is Mickey Rourke owning the screen with his magnificent 80s hair.  GUEST: Megan from the Screams and Moans podcast attempts to school not only us, but actor Jeremy Davies.
