Dear Internet: Please Shut Up About Ben Affleck & Batman vs. Superman For The Next Two Years
Last night, I was out of the house for six hours or so attending a screening of Edgar Wright’s incomparable Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy. A glorious time was had by all, as Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are masterpieces and classics, and The World’s End lived up to every bit of that reputation and then some. For six blissful hours, I got to forget about the current, underwhelming state of mainstream cinema, escape from the pervading cynicism of the online entertainment community (which includes both the people who write film news and the readers who comment on it, myself included on both sides of the equation), and instead focus solely on enjoying and digesting three truly tremendous movies.

WGTC Radio #60 – Persona 3 Retrospective Spectacular!
After another two-week break – sorry guys, we promise the show will return to its normal weekly format soon – we are back with an extra-long edition of WGTC Radio, one that hopefully has a little something for everyone (and a lot for Persona 3 fans). We start with a roundup of recent news, development, and personal gaming/movie stories, including a discussion of the Xbox One’s latest policy reversal, and reviews of recent films like Elysium.

Breaking Bad Review: “Buried” (Season 5 Episode 10)
In my review of last week’s season premiere, I wrote at length about how Breaking Bad returned wasting no time in exploring characters – and, in turn, delivering big moments – in ways fans have been anticipating for a very long time. Most television series would, even in their final season, delay such gratification until doing so was no longer an option, but from a character standpoint, at least (β€œBlood Money” was not necessarily a plot-heavy episode, just one that dived right into examining how the ensemble reacts under these circumstances), Breaking Bad started its last eight episodes off like a bullet.

Jobs Review
Jobs is a wildly imperfect movie, and never quite overcomes its zealot-like love for its subject to present a truly three-dimensional character portrait, but it presents, defends, and decently executes a clear and insightful interpretation of its subject, and for that, I respect the film. I even daresay I enjoyed it.

Kick-Ass 2 Review
Kick-Ass 2 is not without its occasional pleasures, but viewed as either its own movie or a follow up to its predecessor, the sequel is a pretty severe disappointment, and a rough cinematic experience to boot.

Breaking Bad Season Premiere Review: “Blood Money” (Season 5 Episode 9)
That densely loaded exchange between Walt and Hank – and the absolutely incredible scene preceding it – is not only the best part of an immensely satisfying Breaking Bad premiere(*), but indicative of everything β€œBlood Money” does so amazingly well: Delivering a moment we have been waiting five whole seasons to see – a moment that pays off on everything the audience knows about these two characters and their respective histories – with a level of execution that excels our collective expectations.

Lovelace Review
Lovelace is one of the fluffiest, least substantive biopics I have ever seen, and I am positively baffled the film made it through the pitch, scripting, production, and post-production phases without anyone ever once bothering to ask β€œfor what exact purpose are we making this movie?”

WGTC Radio #59 – Talking 12th Doctor News, The Wolverine, & Bioshock Infinite DLC
Sorry for missing out on last week, listeners – that absence is all on me and a particularly busy schedule – but fear not! We are back, and just in time to discuss the casting of Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor on a show we may or may not have discussed before, Doctor Who. Yes, if you had not heard, the identity of the 12th actor (or, more accurately, 13th, as two actors have played the 1st Doctor) to play the iconic role was revealed less than a day ago, and as die-hard Doctor Who fans, we are here to share our thoughts. While there obviously is not a lot to go on yet, this announcement makes us very happy, because the great Peter Capaldi is sure to change up this show in new and different ways.
