A periodic podcast where Zach Freeman and Bill Carter analyze recent DVD releases.
Well, crap. GAME OF THRONES season one is over. I am glad there will be more. What a great show. Take a listen to our latest podcast to hear our thoughts and predictions.
Well, well, well. I'm a week late publishing this. So sue me! Mark where are you!?!? Micah, where are you?!? There is a couple of The Killing comments in here by Terrie, but Will doesn't give a rat's patooty about that tv show any more. GOT is getting better than ever. Will we get to see Pete wield an axe in the next episode? One can only hope. If you listen to this podcast, please send us an email.
Winter is coming... Well, not really spring is coming actually. In this DOUBLE VIDEO episode (recording much improved by the way) Terrie and Will continue our stroll thru dreary and grief stricken Seattle. Then we press a button and land in a dreamy fantasy that is the continent of Westeros. Here we discover at least three beheadings, a drunk and sex addicted dwarf, and some serious royal incest. Can the Killing hold our interest? Can GOT keep the sex, violence, and fantasy flowing? Tune in to hear what we think.
The experiment continues. Movie Bonfire is back this time with a VIDEO episode! Lori and Will are in Denver, Terrie is in Chicago and Micah and Bill are in Indiana. Oh, how the powers of the internet are so grand. Too bad episode three of The Killing is a bit of a let down in comparison to episodes one and two. I think our audio streams get out of sync late in the episode and it's difficult to follow. Hey, gimme a break, this is the first try (second actually). I know of some tweaks to apply the next go round. Come on, The Killers. Let's hope you get better.
MB is back! But the posting of this episode is really late because I am a slacker (Will). Movie Bonfire is excited to welcome a new movie burner, Johnny. Take note as he and will dissect this sci-fi love story. Terrie's crackily (she had a bad cold) voice chimes in every so often too.
The last episode of season one...Oh my. In our liveliest Walking Dead podcast yet, Bonfire members, Brynn, Micah, Mark, Terrie, Will and Zach pretty much rip the writing of this finale episode to shreds. Is this show done? We hope not, but some of us have already given up. Hopefully Kirkman and Darabont can get the show back to it's awesomeness that we saw in episode one.
Movie Bonfire discusses perhaps the weakest episode of the season so far, one in which there a single zombie head shot. Our gang bickers and argues and on more than one occasion the civilized order that Shane and Rick have brought to the camp almost slips away. The show seems to be taking a turn plot wise at the end, as the group make it to the Center for Disease Control in the city. It looks to be pretty zombie safe. Where the heck is Meryl. Only one episode left.
Terrie, Mark and Will are back for episode 4 of the Walking Dead. In this outing, our heroes find Meryle's hand, make nice with some gangbangers, and make it back to camp to save the day. Almost. It's been fun to follow this series so far, but with only two episodes left Movie Bonfire will soon need another series or set of films to follow. My brain-gears are turning...
The bonfire continues to follow the zombie trail. In this episode we witness a family reunited, a geek chow down on a deer carcus and then snuffed by a crossbow's arrow, and finally a desperate desperate man cut his own hand off to survive.
Terrie and Will continue the journey into the apocalyptic world of the Walking Dead. Does episode two fulfill any of the potential of the premiere? Somewhat, but this episode fell into cliche a bit. A slew of new characters are introduced and are pretty much greeted with a chorus of 'Meh'. Dixon, the racist, shows promise. The actual "guts" in the episode is presented in gory perfection and we are happy to see the sense of fun reappear as Glenn speeds out of Atlanta in his red Mustang at the end.
And now for something a little different...
