Deleted Scenes: Episode 0: Je Suis Femen

A radical feminist group, founded in Ukraine and known for protesting topless, fights corruption and male-driven governments across Russia and Europe.

IMDb

Gordon is still on vacation so we don't have a new episode for you this week. Instead, we're returning to the past to revisit one of our early, unreleased episodes. Before Gordon and I started the podcast, we recorded five practice shows to help us form the comic genius that is Random Reviews you listen to every week. These oldies are pretty bad but we didn't want to leave a gap in our schedule so we're putting up the newest of the oldest; Episode 0 (We will release episodes -4 through -1 in the future). This show was recorded around August 15th 2015 and it birthed one of my favorite segments: Private Investigator. The documentary is full of nudity in addition to great content so it's one of the few movies we actually recommend you check out. You can view the list of Netflix movies you should watch on the sidebar.

Episode 18: Fortress

When the captain of the B-17 Flying Fortress is killed in action in Sicily, his replacement, a novice pilot, fights to be accepted.

IMDb

Gordon and Geoff watch our first war film and it's a boring one. Fortress covers the tired subject of World War Two but at least in a region not often visited in video games and movies: Africa. Turns out our air force ran on liquor back then. Who knew? Also we talk about Krampus and try out a new segment: Random Ramblings. It went pretty well so expect to see it again in the future if a show ends up going too short. Next week, we'll be watching The 16th Man.

Episode 17: Pentatonix: On My Way Home

This concert documentary follows self-proclaimed choir nerds turned Grammy-winning vocal quintet Pentatonix on their sold-out 2015 tour.

IMDb

Gordon and Geoff watch strange documentary that really isn't about anything. There's no conflict, and we don't learn much about the protagonists. We get to hear some sweet acapella though so that's nice. Also we talk about Victor Frankenstein and The Ridiculous 6. Next week, we'll be watching Fortress.

Special Episode 2: The Force Awakens

Three decades after the defeat of the Galactic Empire, a new threat arises. The First Order attempts to rule the galaxy and only a rag-tag group of heroes can stop them, along with the help of the Resistance.

IMDb

Gordon and Geoff take a break from our regularly scheduled program to bring you the exciting conclusion to our 7 weeks of Star Wars! All we talk about is the new movie so if you haven't seen it, skip this episode for now. But, come on now; You've had plenty of time to see the movie so maybe you actually should just listen now and save your money. We brought in guests Evan and Laura for some additional opinions and conversation so big thanks to Evan and Laura for helping us out! Next week, we'll be watching Pentatonix: On My Way Home.

Episode 16: The Milk of Sorrow

Always protecting her sexuality, Fausta has a pathological fear contracted from her mother's breast milk. She embarks on a journey that may free her.

IMDb

Gordon and Geoff have found a new contender for worst Netflix movie. Before this episode, Evil was the worst movie we have ever watched for this podcast. Geoff still thinks it is but Gordon is convinced MoS is the bigger, steamier pile of poop. Go watch them both, if you dare, and let us know which made you cringe more. Also we talk about Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi, Creed, and A Very Murray Christmas. Next week, we'll be watching Pentatonix: On My Way Home.

Episode 15: Dare

In their final semester of high school, a good girl, an outcast and a bad boy shed their youthful inhibitions and take some decidedly grown-up risks.

IMDb

Gordon and Geoff watch one of those high school dramas where the guy gets the girl and then the same guy gets the guy and then the girl, the guy and the other guy get each other at once and it's weird. You know, that movie. Also we talk about Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith and The Good Dinosaur. Tune in next week for the exciting Star Wars conclusion, preparing you for The Force Awakens! Next week, we'll also be watching The Milk of Sorrow.

Episode 14: Arthur and the Invisibles (Minimoys)

Ten-year-old Arthur discovers a world of tiny people living in his backyard, a find that may hold the secret to saving his family home.

IMDb

Gordon and Geoff watch an imported French children's movie. Half the movie was reshot with American actors and the other half is the Frenchie animated stuff. The cartoons were redubbed with some big-name talent. Still with me? A lot of effort went in to this movie is what I'm trying to say and it's all for nothing. This movie sucks. Also we talk about Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and The Night Before. Next week, we'll be watching Dare.
