The F.I.L.M. Army
So you want to join the F.I.L.M. Army…
Posted by newsbot
Have you ever wanted to send something in to the F.I.L.M. Army? A review or maybe a commentary on cinema or DVDs? Maybe a rant or even a recommendation? Here’s how:
Get yourself Audacity (free) and a microphone (not free, but you should already have a microphone for all the Chat Roulette you are doing). Record something anywhere between 3 and 15 minutes (some exceptions will be made beyond these limits, but they better be damn good). Save the file in the audio format of your choice (mp3 preferred) and send it to film@fancypantsgangsters.com with your name and a description of the what your segment is about. If we use your segment, you’ll get your name on the show and a $25 Amazon gift certificate for your troubles.
We do reserve the right to edit your segment for content, clarity, and timing, so don’t get all uppity if we cut it down a bit. We promise to be gentle.
Deadline for submissions is the 25th of each month, so be sure to get your segment in on time. The earlier the better.
Any questions, feel free to email us or leave them in the comments.
The F.I.L.M. Army: August 2010 Edition – Nolan Is God
Posted by FPG Post-O-Matic
How exactly does Evan feel about Inception director Christopher Nolan? We paid me 50 bucks to make this the show title.
While Nolan may be all the rage on the movie papers (and in Evan’s heart), there’s more going on in the world of film and DVD. I mean, just look at all the stuff we talk about this show:
Tales From The Pile: American Splendor, Crumb, and American Pop – Evan
Brotherly Love: The Karate Kid – Courtney & Cameron
Box Office Poison: I Know Who Killed Me – Nate
War Room: Inception group review – Courtney, Evan, Todd (with a little Jeff)
For the cost of less than 1 movie ticket, you can get a free two-week trial of Netflix and help support the F.I.L.M. Army. For pennies a day, you can end the suffering of independent film podcasts.
More information and show notes can be found in our forums. You can find out how to submit your segments to the show there as well. Questions and comments can be left below or can be sent to film@fancypantsgangsters.com. Be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter as well, or else the Hun will take your children in their sleep.

The F.I.L.M. Army: July 2010 Edition – Nic Cage’s Hair And Other Nonsensicals
Posted by FPG Post-O-Matic
Say what you will, the Nicolas Cage Hair Length vs Film Quality Ratio has largely yet to be disproven, and Sorcerer’s Apprentice doesn’t look like it’s going to upset this universal truth.
Old favorites and new locations abound this month, as the Army does it’s first War Room in Pants Tower. While it lacks the defensibility of the still-in-progress Casa De Pantalones, it does have that certain bourgeois charm.
Segments:
Trailer Feature – Jeff
Lights, Cameron, Action: Letters To Juliet – Cameron
Box Office Poison: Battlefield Earth – Nate
War Room: Flawed Films – Jay, Evan, Courtney, and Jeff
All music this month provided by Repo Men, available on Blu-Ray and DVD July S

The F.I.L.M. Army June-ish 2010 Edition
Posted by FPG Post-O-Matic
What was that line from Donald Rumsfeld about going to battle with the army you have….
So yeah, this is late. And a bit slapdash. But to be honest, May (and June) has kicked the crap out of the F.I.L.M. Army, so we couldn’t put on a show to the level you have come to expect. But the segments we did have were pretty keen, if you ask me, and it would be a shame to waste them. So without further ado, please enjoy this month’s edition of the The F.I.L.M. Army.
Section listing to come later, I promise.

The F.I.L.M. Army: May 2010 Edition
Posted by FPG Post-O-Matic
Continuing with our tradition with emulating film franchises, this third installment of The F.I.L.M. Army is overlong and either a landmark episode in its own right, or a sad reminder of past glories. So, will we be Return Of The King or Spiderman 3? It’s too bad we couldn’t get Dokken to do our theme song this time, as that is the best indicator of success in all things, film or otherwise.
Pop Up Blocker: 2010 Clash Of The Titans review – Courtney
Cole Kohler of Snack Attack Samurai Interview – Evan
Box Office Poison: The Adventures Of Pluto Nash – Nate
Lights, Cameron, Action: The Last Song – Cameron
War Room: Summer Movie Preview – Jay, Jeff, Evan, and Tom Brazelton of TheaterHopper.com
Don’t get the Dokken reference? You should try Netflix. Sign up for a free two-week trial and help support The F.I.L.M. Army. And heavy metal.
