The Color Purple (1985)

September 28, 2015 Bald Move Prestige

Special thanks to D’Nique G, who commissioned us to watch the 1985 Steven Spielberg film, “The Color Purple”, based on the novel by Alice Walker and starring Whoopi Goldberg, Oprah Winfrey, and Danny Glover. While we found some of the tonal shifts and musical choices in the first half bizarre, the movie nevertheless drew us into the story of one woman’s triumph over countless adversities, and the ending of this movie has a heart as big, wide, and bright as Celie’s smile.

310 – The Fly

September 23, 2015 Breaking Good

Jim and A.Ron look into a fairly polarizing episode of Breaking Bad, episode 310, “The Fly”. Some see it as a slow, ponderous, pointless exercise in budget cutting, while others see a beautiful, rich, thematic character study resting entirely on the performances of Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston. Listen in to find out which side of the divide we fall on!

104 – Not Fade Away

September 22, 2015 Fear The Watching Dead

Jim and A.Ron mourn the loss of their nine days of end-of-civilization goodness they were confronted with in episode 104, “Not Fade Away”. We discuss the softer side of Team Barbershop, Madison’s potentially not-so-secret past as an alcoholic, the flimsy, one dimensional banality of evil represented by Lt. Moyer, and debate a few theories of what we’ll discover on arrival at the nearby military hospital facility. All this and tons of great community feedback, coming your way.

The Way of the Gun (2000)

September 21, 2015 Bald Move Prestige

Much thanks to Nick Knol for commissioning the 2000 Christopher McQuarrie film, “The Way of the Gun”, starring Ryan Phillippe, Benicio del Toro, and Juliette Lewis. As dark, gritty, violent, funny, post-Tarantino quasi-western fable, we found a lot to enjoy, but wondered if the plot was too convoluted for it’s own good. In this we discuss questionable obstetrics, geriatric hitmen, and our inner outlaws.

3:10 to Yuma (2007)

September 14, 2015 Bald Move Prestige

Thanks again to The Commissioner himself, Andrew Mount, for turning us on to a classic modern western that we had heretofore completely missed. Directed by James Mangold and adapted from the short story by the late, great Elmore Leonard, it stars Russell Crowe and Christian Bale among many others in a fairly star studded cast. But make no mistake, these two men completely make the picture, and their performances carry the day where logic and reason might fail you. We loved the film, Andrew, and we hope you enjoy the fruits of your latest commission.
