Troll 2 Vs. Manos the Hands of Fate

2008-06-23T05:20:13-06:00

You may have heard a lot about Troll 2 from the likes of ShowShow, Night of the Living Podcast, Outside the Cinema and Cinema Diabolica. And you may have heard about Manos from....well, How I Met Your Mother.

But now, you will finally get the definitive answer on which movie is more terrible from the Onion AV Club.

It seemed like such a good idea, that we figured Big Red Podcast could pile on as well. Because, we totally lost a bet. Look for it on July 6.

BRP 86: List of Grievances Edition

2008-07-01T05:27:27-06:00

This week Derek, Deeps and I tackle the latest episodes of In Plain Sight, Doctor Who, The Middleman, Secret Diary of a Call Girl and Fear Itself. Plus we have phone calls from F13 of Cinema Diabolica, Brother D from Mail Order Zombie and Aaron from Paperbag Radio!

And a reminder that next week is Troll 2 vs. Manos the Hands of Fate for a decision - which movie is worse? Regardless, I think we’re all losers on this one.

BRP 84: Love Me Some Gene Hackman Edition

2008-06-16T06:41:41-06:00

We’re back after our two-week (or one show) break. Deeps, Derek and I are fired up to talk about Fear Itself, Swingtown, Charlie Jade and In Plain Sight. Then I get reminiscent about Chicago when talking about My Boys. And finally we tackle favorites Doctor Who and the sublime Venture Brothers. Plus we announce the next installment in the Big Red Film Festival - Night Moves!

What could you possibly say about Big Red Podcast?

2008-07-01T18:38:53-06:00

I’ve decided to get my act together and make a quick audio promo - but I’m struggling with how to best describe the show in a way that is accurate, quick and tantalizing.

And I feel like I should mention hair....

Ideas?

What are you watching this summer?

2008-06-28T05:58:01-06:00

It is still early in the Summer TV series season - sure a few new shows have debuted, but most stuff for the summer rolls out in mid and late July. So what are you watching, what do you plan on watching and what do you look forward to seeing again?

For me I’m currently charmed by The Middleman on ABC Family and to a lesser degree In Plain Sight. I’m looking forward to the return of Burn Notice on USA and I’m mildly interested in seeing if I’ll still hate Mad Men on AMC.

Lots of interesting reality is out there too.... I know Stefan is a big fan.

BRP 85: Enjoyed On Two Levels Edition

2008-06-22T19:25:29-06:00

This week Derek, Deeps and I chat about pancake recipes and Fear Itself; we determine if The Venture Brothers can ever be too nerdy; we get our first real episode of In Plain Sight; and we get a little behind-the-scenes info about Doctor Who from Aaron at Paperbag Radio!

Then we review two new shows - The Middleman and Secret Diary of a Call Girl. One is quirky fun with charm to spare. The other… has Billie Piper.

And we get very deep when discussing the 1975 Gene Hackman thriller Night Moves. And we announce a special Big Red Film Festival event - Troll 2 vs. Manos the Hands of Fate.

Are you watching?

2008-06-16T07:31:42-06:00

Fear Itself, Fringes, True Blood or In Plain Sight? I’m curious to get that biting Big Red Podcast take on them.

I’m afraid we’ll have to let you go

Let’s explore fireable offenses on TV. What makes you quit a show? What makes you want to fire someone on the show.

Since we like to pick on Torchwood, the completely unsecret “clandestine” organization, for fireable offenses on a weekly basis I thought we could explore this issue on other shows. Who is terrible at his/her job?

Hat tip to our friend Craig in Denver for the idea....

I think Dr. Lisa Cuddy should be removed from her post as hot administrator of PPTH. She has not shown any competence in her role - despite being delightfully portrayed and wearing the best clothes of any office lackey on TV.

Hiatus-style!

So it’s approximately 99 degrees and we’re overrun with family - so I haven’t watched any TV since Thursday. But we’ll be back next week on Sunday, June 15. I’m going to watch a ton of movies and hours of TV.

Do you miss us? Tell me how much....

Big Red Film Festival - Strikes Back!

2008-06-12T05:36:33-06:00

We’re in lighter summer TV season so we’re planning on re-launching the Big Red Film Festival, which listeners may recall first appeared during the Writers’ Strike earlier this year.

We’ll pick up again with episode #85 on June 22 - so if you want to watch with us you can. Our pick for that week is Night Moves starring Gene Hackman from 1975.

If you have suggestions for BRFF please post them! Originally we said the BRFF was comprised of movies we own, like Night Moves, but I’m willing to branch out.

Movies we’ve covered in the fest include:
The Thin Man
Cat People (1942)
Bullitt
In a Lonely Place

And probably another which I can’t remember… where is my archivist?
