Tcs Movie Podcast

You may know it as the “bear rape movie.” We didn’t really get a chance to talk about the actual bear encounter. So let me just say. It’s not a rape, but it’s intense and has sure sexual overtones. We talked about a lot of other stuff from the movie. The ‘we’ in this instance […]

Joy is not a masterpiece. The degree to which that is true is something that returning guest co-host Ryan Maffei and I differ on, but it’s definitely not a great movie. But it is a movie about something—ambition–that is always interesting to talk about. I wanted to have this chat with Ryan because he is […]

This summer, my wife’s sister came over to relax with Megan and I. She brought her friend John. Pulp Fiction was on the cable that night, and the four of us ended up having a nice time watching it. When searching for people to talk about the new Quentin Tarantino movie with, John came to […]

In the part of The Big Short where they are explaining the origins of Cornwall Capital, the scene is spliced with a performance from famed Dallas band The Polyphonic Spree. If you are looking closely, you can spot the head of bassist Mark Pirro. He was nice enough to talk with me and my friend Nick […]

It is the movie podcast that causes the rest of the movie podcast to exist. For the first time in my entire span of existence, there is new Star Wars that deserves to be called new Star Wars. Minutes after our 7:00 screening finished, Justin and I sit down to empty out of our minds every […]

The idea here is to establish a baseline for next week. Justin will be back for the Episode VII review and so that we can spend that one talking about the movie itself, we take the time here to lay out our Star Wars connections and credentials. That involves laying out how we came to […]

To talk about this comedy, the guest co-host is comedian Clint Werth. We agree it’s a pretty decent little movie. Has some good performances. From Miley Cyrus, for one. And with any quality comedy, there’s plenty else to talk about. There are also nitpicks to be made. For example, no NFL player has had their […]

Why does everything have to be about 9/11? We kind of wait until the end of the podcast, but we get into that a little. This movie is about a lot of things, 9/11 being just one. It’s also about guilt and what things people hold with them. Personally, I kind of doubt too many […]

The 1988 Carter Cowboys are one of the All-Time sports stories in Dallas history. There is a new movie out that tells their story. Donovan Lewis picked this to make his appearance on the podcast, and we talk about his recollections of the situation. some of the acting may be a little over-the-top, but the […]

The focus this week is the new James Bond movie. On to talk about it is Mike Sirois. He is another Ticket coworker. He and I work on the 10 to Noon show, and he has his own program on Saturdays. Like most males living today, we have seen a lot of Bond movies. These […]

This podcast is generally done with an imagined audience of people who have seen the movie, but just to make sure we don’t leave you completely in the dark: Truth is a movie about the 2004 60 Minutes piece that led to Dan Rather stepping down from the CBS Evening News. It focuses more on […]

Back for to talk about the new Steven Spielberg movie is Russell Kirk. You know him from the Rear Window episode. This is a movie right up his ally. It’s about history, which he and I are both into. The first part of the movie deals a lot with lawyers and the law, and Russ […]

The Steve Jobs movie is amazing, and here to talk about it is my brother Daniel. He is my only sibling and a fellow person with a good amount of interest in the history of Apple. He’s also a lot more conversant in the World Of Business. He subscribes to Fast Company. Regularly uses the […]

Since starting this podcast, I got several emails from Manny Velasquez talking about how he’d love to share his passion for movies with the podcast. He is an actor living in LA but makes it back to Dallas every once in awhile. In this instance, his visit home matched up with the podcast schedule, so […]

Kip Mooney is back to co-host. He did the Central Track review of The Martian, and he talks about it here. We both like the movie a lot. It’s cool to see smart people at the top of their game pushing themselves to solve some of the most complicated problems. And that’s something cool about […]

This is a movie that is obviously very much bout he drug war. And one of the best ever done about the drug war. But it’s also about how tough experience teach you things about yourself that are very hard to learn. There also aren’t easy answers about who is right in the disagreement between […]

On to talk about the story of notorious Massachusetts criminal Whitey Bulger is Massachusetts native Danny Balis. Despite–or perhaps because of–his interest in the real-life story, he found the movie severely lacking. I think he makes a pretty convincing case that will ring true to anyone who has seen it. There were a couple diamonds […]

Get ready for some fairly comfortable and especially polite disagreement! I think this movie is something above decent. The way the twist was worked in was smart. A lot of the elements were really well designed. My guest co-host Tom Bridwell disagrees. He was looking for some classic horror elements and was upset to find […]

This was kind of a random movie selection. I just picked from the movie Central Track had reviewed recently. It’s a so-so movie, but it does bring up a lot of subject matter that was very easy to talk about. Talking about it with me is my longtime friend Ryan Maffei. You may remember him from […]

Shortly after the podcast started, I got a message from a man teaching history at UT-Arlington. He explained his understandable interest in historical movies and total willingness to let me pelt him with questions about them. After some back-and-forth, Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained emerged as the natural choice. It’s a little bit of a different format. […]
