The Film Thugs Movie Show

Seth Rogan put it best in "Freaks and Geeks."

"Everything cool happens in bars."

He's right. Bars are awesome.

This week we have a few delicious cans of Big Flats and discuss the best movie bars that cool things have happened in.

Sometimes a good idea goes horribly wrong. Back when the first two Halloween movies hit someone came up with an absolutely brilliant idea. How about create an anthology horror series that takes place during Halloween. Every year someone would make a stand alone horror film that would be released as part of the series. A new cast, new characters, new setting... It's brilliant.

Then this thing happened and ruined it all.

Join us as Jim watches "Halloween 3: Season of the Witch" for the first time with one of our progressive commentaries.

What is a progressive commentary? Well, rather than having to watch the movie with us and go through the incredibly difficult task of synchronization, we watch a movie 15 minutes at a time, then stop and talk about it. It's just like watching a movie with us, only without all the difficulty.

A ways back we did an episode about TV shows being made into movies. Honestly, I have no idea how long ago it was. After 200 episodes, it gets hard to remember when a specific one occurred.

Regardless, we felt that enough time had passed to make doing a kind of follow up seem appropriate. That and the spate of TV shows based on movies making their way down the pipeline didn't hurt either.

So, this week we take a look at the shows that began their lives in theaters. Some are great, some are awful, some just make no damned sense. Enjoy.

There are basic tenants of narrative that we just accept. There is a good guy. There is a bad guy. The good guy has to grow and become good enough to triumph over the bad guy. Simple, right?

Well....

You see, this basic coding is so deeply ingrained in us that we just accept it, even if it happens to be wrong.

Truth of the matter, the bad guy/bad guy thing is more connected to what we are told than what is actually happening in the story.

This week we take a look at some bad guys who... well, who weren't bad guys.
