KQXT - San Antonio, TX (2012) - ReelWorld WLIT 2007 & RW1: AC (update, off-air)

The casting of Ace Ventura was essential in building the insane rules and tone of the world, and while Jim Carrey is why the film worked, folks may overlook how the casting of everyone else was equally important. Adam elucidates how this was accomplished and what roles were key in the development of a narrative where the audience wouldn’t think about the fact that the main character is an absolute maniac. “Do go in here (the episode).” That’s the quote, right? We all remember that famous quote from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.

Our heroes dig into an amazing film possibly ruined by a terrible ending.

Hosts Tom and Dave seem to hone in the premise by battling famous horror movie heroes against pod people while somehow in the plot to Speed 2. It's weird.

Big thanks to producer James Raney for making it happen!

Maggie and Adam dig deep and muster a couple of films that they love to hate and explain why they deserve such vitriol. Do you agree or do you love the films they love to hate?

Dag, I screwed up again.

326. I'll Show You Mine If You Show Me Yours: Movies You Love To Hate

Abe walks us through the early 2000's and the development of that era’s neo-noir look, how technology facilitated its dominance over the box office, and why Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince was both an adopter and a trailblazer in this visual movement. Also, Jim Broadbent was a chair in this movie. Name another movie that’s true. Thought so.

The book that Abe references in the episode is “The Development of Post-war Literary and Cinematic Noir” by Lee Horsley.
