The Film Thugs Movie Show

There are some movies, actors, and directors who seem to have the worlds collective heart won over. Some deserve it, others... well, it's not that they're bad (ok, some of them are bad. Terrible, in fact.), it's just that they are a touch overrated. On Friday we sat down and had a little chat about some films that people just need to take a step back from the ledge on.

Jacob Weisberg from slate.com said that "The Wire," was, "Surely the best TV show ever broadcast in America." While I agree, I find his statement limiting in that I do not believe there has ever been a show broadcast in any country on this planet that was as good as "The Wire." Yes, it is that good.

February 5th 2010 is the most important date in the history of this show. That was the night that we sat down and recorded our first three shows. We spent weeks preparing and psyching ourselves up for them and when they were finished we felt amazing.

How amazing?

Well, so amazing that in a fit of mild hubris, adrenalin, and beer we decided, "HELL WITH IT!! Let's do one more!" And it sounded like a good idea.

Basically what happened was this; two performers who hadn't had a chance to perform in years got a taste of it and wanted more. We were junkies chasing a fix. So, in an attempt to prolong the joy we went to Campbell's computer and printed John Carpenters IMDB page and just went for it.

It wasn't bad. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad. In the end we decided that we could do better, so we shelved this episode.

Now, a year and a half after that night, we have decided to release the heretofore unknown "Lost Episode."

Remember, we started recording this a midnight our first night of recording after completing three shows. What you are getting is a type of excitement so pure that it can only be born of love for what you're doing.

We hope you enjoy it.

If there is one thing filmmakers love it's ending the world. Honestly. They love it. It's like the world did something to them. This week we decided to take a look at some of the different ways that filmmakers have seen fit to dispatch the planet we all love so much.
