The Film Thugs Movie Show

The Oscars are pretty cool, right? I mean, sometimes they make really stupid mistakes based on politics and popularity but by and large they are still pretty awesome, aren't they? We decided to take a look at the times when The Academy might have dropped the ball. The times when they might have made a slight misstep. Well, guess what? In doing our research we discovered that The Oscars don't just make the occasional bad decision. In fact bonehead omissions, popular opinion, and political B.S. are almost the damned mission statement of "The Academy." So, for your consideration, here is our list of the times that Oscar F'd up!! Fair warning, it starts out fun, but this turns into quite the angry show.

So, we've looked at the filmmakers we no longer love as once we did. Now it's time to take a look at the other side. These are the actors and directors that will get us into the theater (almost) every time. Also, we are calling for you to send us your lists of filmmakers, actors, and genres that you are breaking up with. Send us a typed list, send us an audio file, whatever you want just send it. We are putting together a show about your new found apathy. thefilmthugs@gmail.com

Well, it's that time of year. For parents a break from the kids. For students and teachers a return to the world of work and responsibilities. For the film world, a chance to grossly stereotype and misrepresent a set of common experiences. Jim and Clarkson take a look at some of their favorite school films in this end of summer show.

There comes a time during the relationship between fan and filmmaker or actor or genre where you begin to grow apart. Once it was all so fresh and new, but now.... Well, now it's just not the same. I guess what we're trying to say is, It's not me, it's you. We take a look at a few films, actors, directors, and genres that we just don't love anymore. We don't hate them, well, not all of them. Sure, we can still be friends, but with these.... It's time for us to start seeing other movies.

You know what it's like when you find a movie that has a great cast, great direction and dialogue that you think should have been a classic adored by everyone? Well, we do and so we decided to make a show about those. These movies didn't necessarily flop, they just didn't go over as big as we feel they should.
