The F.I.L.M. Army

The phrase “theater of war” was never so appropriate, as Evan and Jay command a seemingly endless force to conquer the twin landscapes of film and DVDs. From the latest releases to classics both forgotten and cherished, The F.I.L.M. Army is ever vigilant, and always accepting recruits.



The F.I.L.M. Army: August 2010 Edition – Nolan Is God

August 3rd, 2010

How exactly does Evan feel about Inception director Christopher Nolan? He 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

July 1st, 2010

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

June 18th, 2010

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

May 1st, 2010

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.

The F.I.L.M. Army: April 2010 Edition

April 1st, 2010

Following the rule of cinema that the second of anything is better than the first (The Empire Strikes Back, Godfather 2, Crank 2), this second iteration of The F.I.L.M. Army is even better than the first one! Titans will clash! Guests will guest! And mic troubles will keep Evan from participating meaningfully in this month’s War Room. We suspect Communist sabotage.

Features:

When Harry Met Calibus: 1981′s Clash of The Titans review – Courtney

Box Office Poison: All About Steve – Nate

Beginner’s Guide To Bollywood – Meghan Wilker

Never Grow Old: Why The Lost Boys Is Amazing – Evan

Lights, Cameron, Action: Remember Me – Cameron

War Room: Remakes – Jeff, Jay, Chase Shumway of Who Asked You?, and Evan (sort of).

Intersegment music was provided by The Imaginarium Of Doctor Parnassus, available on DVD April 27th.

Wanna see the original before the remake? You should try Netflix. Sign up for a free two-week trial and help support The F.I.L.M. Army.
