Out Now with Aaron and Abe

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe is very focused on the awards season. Aaron and Abe are joined by the creative mind behind AwardContenders.com, Mark Johnson, to both provide a review for the new George Clooney/Alexander Payne film, The Descendants, as well as engage in a discussion about the various films that have the potential to be up for major film awards. While Abe had to leave part of the way through this discussion, Mark and Aaron continued on to go over all of the major categories and the potential big players, predictions, and desires. In addition to this special awards talk and the movie review, the regular segments are still present as well, including “know everybody”, trailer talk, box office results, and retro reviews.

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe focuses on the nostalgic double feature that was The Muppets and Hugo, both of which came out over Thanksgiving weekend. Joining Aaron and Abe to discuss these features are guests Mark Hobin and Matt Dunbar. Given the depressing nature of the art house and independent films featured in last week’s fun, but obscure episode, talking about the fun and sincerity of The Muppets and Hugo is certainly a fun way to get things back in the fun zone. People should note the use of plenty of familiar Muppet tunes laced throughout this episode as well. Of course along with the main film reviews, other segments returns as well, including “know everybody”, trailer talk, box office results and predictions, retro reviews, games, and other fun stuff.

This week’s special episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe is jam packed with film discussion and guests! Given that neither Aaron nor Abe had much desire to go in depth in discussing Twilight or Happy Feet 2, a decision was made to discuss many of the recent Art House/Independent films that have come to theaters this fall. To help the duo in this discussion, Mark Hobin, Adam Gentry, Mark Johnson, and Gerard Iribe all join in to provide their perspectives. The films discussed include Melancholia, Martha Marcy May Marlene, Take Shelter, Margin Call, Like Crazy, The Devil’s Double, and The Skin I Live In, with mention to several other films as well. And even with all that, there was still time to include a few of the regular segments including “Know Everybody” and Trailer Talk.

You down with OTT? This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe goes Over The Top, as the duo discusses the Greek Myth action film Immortals from visionary director Tarsem Singh.

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe features another packed schedule. Guests Scott Mendelson and Matt Dunbar return to the show to help Aaron and Abe discuss whether or not A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas will become the Christmas classic some may have been hoping for and also to determine whether or not Brett Ratner’s Tower Heist is worthy of being the most mildly praised movie of the year. The regular segments of the show wrap around these movie reviews as well, including “know everybody”, trailer talk (21 Jump Street and American Reunion), an extended box office segment thanks to the presence of Mr. Mendelson, retro reviews, games, and some other fun stuff.

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe is a triple threat, both in terms the number of participants and the number of films covered in our main review section. Adam Gentry joins the duo in an effort to cover the three big releases from the weekend, which includes the sci-fi adventure In Time, the Hunter S. Thompson adventure The Rum Diary, and the fairy tale adventure Puss in Boots. Certainly an episode packed with content and there are still the regular segments of the show as well, including “know everybody”, trailer talk (The Darkest Hour and The Lorax), retro reviews, box office results and predictions, and a little game time as well.

Based on the love and praise Aaron, Jordan Grout, and Alan Aguilera have for John Carpenter’s The Thing, along with Abe’s newfound love and respect for The Thing, the gang decided to do their first audio commentary for that film. Simple enough to enjoy, the gang even has a brief intro to properly explain how to synch the film with the podcast. So if interested, sit back with your copy of The Thing and listen to a bunch of guys chat about it. And stay tuned to the end, if you want to learn the secret word.

This week’s episode of Out Now with Aaron and Abe re-discovers why man is the warmest place to hide. Of course that refers to the 1982 horror classic, John Carpenter’s The Thing, and what better way to discuss it than by reviewing the new prequel/remake of the film, also titled The Thing…well I can think of another way to discuss it, but that’s something that will be revealed later on in the week. For now, this week’s episode features Aaron and Abe, along with special guests Jordan Grout and Alan Aguilera discussing The Thing, along with participating in the rest of the standard segments, including “know everybody”, trailer talk (The Avengers and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance), box office results and predictions, retro reviews, and some games.

“I love you Dr. Zaius”. Alright, this week’s episode features Aaron, Abe, and special guest Alan Aguilera (back again, two weeks in a row) for another Triple A episode, as the group discusses Rise of the Planet of the Apes. The latest entry in the Planet of the Apes franchise, which serves as a restart to the series continuity and stars James Franco as the lead human character and Andy Serkis as the lead non-human (motion-capture work for Caesar). Along with the main review of the film, as usual, several segments surround this area, as the gang gets to know each other with some random film questions and discusses some new trailers (In Time and Contagion). Additionally, following the review, as per usual, there is box office talk and predictions, a retro review segment, and the return of some old games.

This week on Out Now with Aaron and Abe, the boys delve into the Giant ‘Effin Robots movie that the world has been waiting for. Of course this is in reference to Michael “Boom Boom” Bay’s newest film, Transformers:Dark of the Moon. This is the third film in the Transformers franchise and do to the epic scale of this feature, Aaron and Abe get help from returning guests, Alan Aguilera and Jordan Grout (Damn Dirty Blog). Between these four, almost everything related to this Michael Bay franchise is covered. Naturally, the regular segments of Out Now are still a part of the show; trailers are covered (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol and War Horse), box office results and predictions are spoken of, retro reviews lead to more giant robot and explosions discussion, and then some fun games are played as well. Certainly a lot going on in this episode.
