RopeofSilicon Podcast

Welcome to the second podcast from the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, where my only guest for this one is Kevin Jagernauth from The Playlist as the two of us stood outside the Bazin theater before seeing Blood Ties and discussed Monsoon Shootout, Inside Llewyn Davis, Seduced and Abandoned and Jimmy P.

Welcome to the first podcast from the 2013 Cannes Film Festival where my guests are Emma and Aurellien from CinemaTeaser.com, Kevin Jagernauth from The Playlist and Mexican reviewer Silvestre Lopez Portillo joins us for the first of two parts to discuss Heli, which was recorded inside the Palais Theatre. The second part was recorded at a cafe outdoors, which ended up being a big mistake as we caught the first windy moments of a storm that was rolling in off the water, resulting in a lot of noise from the wind. If the second part is tolerable, you'll hear us discuss Jeune et Jolie, Fruitvale Station, The Bling Ring, The Past and The Congress. I do want to give fair warning, the discussion of The Past gets into some spoilers that some of you may not want to hear before seeing the film. I hope you enjoy.

A far more reasonable length for today's podcast, coming in at just over 90 minutes and we have two reviews for you as Laremy was the only one in the theater last night to see Peeples and Vince joins us to discuss The Great Gatsby. We discuss comments made regarding end credits from last episode, I have to draft a new film in the Box Office Challenge now that 300: Rise of an Empire has moved to 2014 and we get to your questions, voice mails, our regular series of games and so much more.

I don't know what's going on nowadays, but these podcasts are getting really long. Today's clocks in just under two hours as we talk even more Iron Man 3, look at the new DVD and Blu-ray releases, talk about seeing trailers for Man of Steel and The Hangover Part III and some stories from last night's screening of The Great Gatsby. Of course, from there we answer your questions and voicemails, play some games and shuffle off into the sunset.

Covering a lot of ground in this Friday's episode including a lot of news from recent headlines along with an extended review of Iron Man 3 with Kevin Jagernauth (aka K. Jagz and Da Juggz) from The Playlist. We also get into our usual assortment of games, take your questions and voicemails and much, much more.

Today's episode is a random ensemble of ideas and topics dominate today's podcast beginning with a look at Steven Soderbergh's "State of Cinema" address, Laremy saw Pain and Gain, we slip in some Iron Man 3 conversation, your questions and voice mails, some Foreign Language titles, more games and much, much more.

It's a jam-packed episode with reviews of Pain and Gain and Mud and Vince from FilmDrunk.com joins us to review The Big Wedding. We also discuss the 2013 Seattle Film Festival lineup, Zach Braff's Kickstarter campaign, play a few games, answer your questions and get out of here in style. Hope you enjoy.

Without even blinking, Laremy and I have put together a nearly two hour episode of the RopeofSilicon Podcast that includes the 2013 Summer Movie Box Office Draft, tons of your questions and voicemails, new DVD and Blu-rays, games and much more.

Laremy is on vacation today in Greece so I have with me today Kevin Jagernauth from The Playlist and Emma and Aur�lien from CinemaTeaser.com to discuss the 2013 Cannes Film Festival lineup, which was just announced yesterday. We take a look at some of the surprises both in and out of the lineup as well as those we're most looking forward to and actually end the conversation with our thoughts on Oblivion and a few comments on Mud.

Laremy is in Greece, which is why we decided to do the podcast today instead of yesterday and you'll have to bear with us, there was a slight delay in his audio. Today we discuss the new Tom Cruise movie Oblivion, take a look forward at the box office potential of the summer films, play some games, answer some questions and voicemails and much more.

Closing out the week with a flurry of reviews including 42, Scary Movie 5 and some comments on Upstream Color as we do our best not to spoil it as well as a lengthy discussion on the future of film vs. television, which bleeds into the recent revelation of layoffs at Disney.

Today's podcast is a bit all over when it comes to topics, covering a wide range of movie topics including some of our favorite directors, our perception of movies based solely on the studio, expectations for The Great Gatsby, expectations for movies based on books we've read and new DVDs and Blu-rays. Of course we get to your questions and voicemail and our regular allotment of games in a brisk and efficient 86 minute episode.

It's Friday and that means new movie reviews for Trance and Evil Dead, but we also can't get too far into today's podcast without discussing the passing of Roger Ebert. In addition we have tons of listener questions, games and a new voicemail to respond to.

Finally, after another Friday off we are back to our regular schedule and a Tuesday podcast is ready for your ears. Today we review G.I. Joe: Retaliation and The Host as well as discuss the new DVD and Blu-rays hitting shelves, look at the best and worst movies of 2013 so far, take your questions and voice mails and play a few games along the way. It's 104 minutes of goodness so I hope you're ready.

We took last Friday off, but we are back with our regularly scheduled Tuesday episode of the RopeofSilicon podcast and unlike most Tuesdays, this week we have a couple of reviews having missed the opportunity to talk about The Croods and Olympus Has Fallen. Additionally we have new DVDs and Blu-rays to discuss, the Box Office Challenge, your questions and voicemails, games and more.
