Episode 831: The Roundup: No Way Out

Seanbaby, Brockway, and guest David Bell - henceforth known as The Buzz Boyzz - watch their new favorite movie: The Beekeeper. A gloriously stupid action movie for fearful boomers and bee lovers alike.

Dogg Zzone 9000 - Episode 180, The Beekeeper with David Bell

Decidely immature in a great way, The Beekeeper is one of Statham's best solo features in years.

Enjoyable enough for a once-through, The Bricklayer lacks much to distinguish itself in the genre.

Episode 850: The Bricklayer

Seanbaby, Brockway, and guest Rusty Shackles celebrate the bonkers Thai martial arts movie Bangkok Knockout, and mourn the several million stuntmen it surely killed.

Dogg Zzone 9000 - Episode 188, Bangkok Knockout with Rusty Shackles

Brockway slips into his paisley blazer to trick Seanbaby and guest, Merritt K, into watching the 1986 movie Heat, with Burt Reynolds. It's a hardboiled neo-noir detective movie, and a Karate Kid mentor story, and also a Jackie Chan style stunt comedy starring, again, Burt Reynolds.

While the rest of the world transitioned from Pop Girl Spring to Brat Summer and now to Moo Deng Autumn, the Rommies are holding fast to Horny Summer with this fresh, hot-off-the-presses (i.e., recorded many months ago back when it actually WAS summer) new episode! Listen in as they praise early-career Kathryn Bigelow’s directing chops, debate whose is the real love story of the movie, and wonder if there’s an alternate universe where the surfing movie became a global blockbuster franchise that (somehow?) escalated to towing a bank vault through Rio (on surfboards? on dry land?) or riding a wave into space (liquid water would freeze up there? spacesuits don’t seem as convenient for surfing as wetsuits?).

Episode 104: Point Break

A unique take on familiar action tropes, Kill leaves one hell of an impression.

James Cullen Bressack is an American producer, director, and screenwriter.  At the age of 18 he received critical attention from audiences and critics alike when he made his debut feature, My Pure Joy.

One to push boundaries, James followed up with the bold and unapologetic Hate Crime which forced audiences along for a brutal home invasion, the first found footage feature ever to be made in the style of having no cuts. The entire film plays out painfully in real time. It was promptly banned in the UK for its fearless story telling, one of three films to be banned in the last 25 years and remains so to this day.

Ahead of his time, he then started the To Jennifer series, the first feature film to be shot entirely on the iPhone 5. He produced the next three instalments.

The prolific filmmaker refused to slow down completing seven more features including Pernicious, 13-13-13, and Blood Lake, starring Shannen Doherty and Christopher Lloyd, which made James the youngest director to ever direct for television.

After writing and directing the haunting Bethany, James shifted his focus to producing. He has now produced forty-eight features including releases for Lionsgate and Cinedigm and is a member of both the PGA and SAG/AFTRA. His impressive body of work has won him numerous Best Picture and Best Director awards on the film festival circuit.

James has achieved all this at the age of 29 and refuses to slow down as he continues to push the envelop and make films no one thought possible. His most recent features include Beyond The Law, starring Steven Seagal and DMX along with Survive The Game and Fortress which star Bruce Willis and Chad Michael Murray.  He also just completed photography on the feature Hot Seat starring Mel Gibson, Kevin Dillon, Shannen Doherty and Sam Asghari.

Stuff we use:

LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important.  This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner.  Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - http://amzn.to/2tbtmOq

AUDIO 

Rode VideoMic Pro  - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio.  It also helps us sync up our audio in post http://amzn.to/2t1n2hx

Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - http://amzn.to/2tbFlM9

LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light.  We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - http://amzn.to/2u5UnHv

COMPUTER - Our favorite computer, we each have one and have used various models since 2010 - http://amzn.to/2t1M67Z

Episode 958: Baby Assassins

This week, we remember the iconic Wings Hauser with a look at the low-budget 1988 action schlocker "Dead Man Walking." We talk about the movie's triple threat of  Wings as anti-hero Luger, Brion James as psycho convict Decker and Jeffrey Combs as "Chaz" in a plague-infested wasteland that's a little too close to our present day reality. Listen now.

Havoc is that it has a lot of good moments, but doesn't have either the narrative simplicity or cohesive world-building to make it really work.
