Franchise Killers
Sunday Dec 30, 2012
Sunday Dec 30, 2012
The film franchise has become as much a part of modern life as fast food franchises, with much the same positive impact on our lives.
Stunning thing about this is that most franchises are pretty terrible. There are some that still deliver the goods, but by and large they are not film making at its best.
So, how can it be that, in an arena with so much garbage, there can be movies bad enough to kill an entire franchise where it stands? Hell, some are bad enough to preemptively kill a franchise before it even has a chance to show just how bad it can get.
This week we look into that.
Also, we have some important business to discuss. Since it's Christmas and all, we decided to get charitable for once in our lives.
We are raising money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association on behalf of our little buddy Amadeo Andrade who was diagnosed with Becker Muscular Dystrophy in 2008. Last year, as a team, we raised $23,800 in support of Amadeo for MDA! This year our team goal is $25,000. We will be raising money until February of 2013. Anything will help and be appreciated, and remember all donations are tax deductible!
This year we are Amadeo's ARMY. Not team. Not club. Not group. ARMY! So lets show a great kid just how bad ass Thug fans are.

Also here is the link to the team page if you would like to read a little about Amadeo:
General/Chariman of the Joint Cheifs of Staff for Amadeo's Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps.
Thank you for checking that out.
And we are still looking for questions for our "Ask the Film Thugs" show. Ask us about anything at all. Could be about movies, relationships, family, history, recipes, what have you. We will have no idea what your questions are until we read them on the show. Do you want you want to know how quick Jim and Clarkson came come up with some bullshit? Sure you do! So go ahead and ask away at thugquestions@gmail.com

Ok, before we get into the show, we have some important business to discuss. Since it's Christmas and all, we decided to get charitable for once in our lives.

Again, as it is Christmas time and we have never done a Christmas show, we decided it was high time to record one.
So, here it is, Jim and Clarkson give their takes on the holiday film.
Also, we are still looking for questions for our "Ask the Film Thugs" show. Ask us about anything at all. Could be about movies, relationships, family, history, recipes, what have you.

First thing's first...
We are still looking for questions for our "Ask the Film Thugs" show. Ask us about anything at all. Could be about movies, relationships, family, history, recipes, what have you.

SO, what is punk? I know it's a kind of music, but there is more to it than that. There is a movement and an ethos of sorts behind it.
This week we decide to look into that and figure out what it means to be punk and how that ideology plays in movies.
Also,
We are raising money towards the Muscular Dystrophy Association on behalf of our little buddy Amadeo Andrade who was diagnosed with Becker Muscular Dystrophy in 2008. Last year, as a team, we raised $23,800 in support of Amadeo for MDA! This year our team goal is $25,000. We will be raising money until February of 2013.

Now, on to the show.
Clarkson was out of town this week at Disneyland, so Vijay filled in for him.
According to the Mayans, a civilization that hadn't figured out the wheel, the world will be ending soon. So we decided to talk about end of the world movies.
Well, we wanted to but ended up spending a lot of time talking about cheap beer and fast food colognes. So, have a listen and see what you think.

Keanu Reeves: How exactly did this happen?

Before we get into it, we are still looking for questions for our "Ask the Film Thugs" show. Ask us about anything at all. We will have no idea what your questions are until we read them on the show. Do you want you want to know how quick Jim and Clarkson came come up with some Bullshit? Sure you do! So go ahead and ask away at thugquestions@gmail.com
Now, on to the show.
Keanu Reeves seems like a decent enough guy. He's handsome, picks good parts, doesn't say or do anything particularly... off putting. But for some reason, people love to bag on the guy.
This week we decide to discuss his career and see if we can make sense of it.
We also talk about Willie Nelson, and instruct you on the proper pronunciation of "Hawa'ii."
