    escape plan should have been directed (if not mctiernan) by renny harlin then, he knows (or knew) action and did a prison movie before!

  • Sean

    Here’s a link to the Poltergeist petition. Let’s get signing and tweeting people!

  • devolutionary

    It’s been a long time since we’ve had such a wide range of ratings for the same feature film. Love it! Don’t think I’ve got enough of an itch to watch this one in the theatre though; never was that crazy about Expendables either.

  • Cody

    Should have been directed by McTiernan or John Hyams.

  • Sam

    He was too busy with the terrible Devil’s Pass unfortunately.

  • devolutionary

    In Frank’s defence of playing CandyCrush while ‘running queries’, it instantly brought to mind this:
    http://xkcd.com/303/
    Or he could’ve also taken the time to fill out those TPS reports.

  • Same thing with animation/effects: “I’m rendering!”

  • milan

    still didnt find the courage to watch it…

  • Pickle Fucker

    Are you gonna do the Carrie remake for the Halloween episode?

  • Sean

    No but we may discuss the original. As of right now the main review will be the Maniac remake.

  • boris badenov

    How about this to sweeten the deal, if the petition goes over 1000 signatures Frank has to do the podcast naked

  • Sam

    Ah, nice. Wasn’t amazed with the movie myself, but it’s definitely interesting enough to make a fun discussion.

  • filmfan5

    Sean what will you be reviewing in the halloween show i did not hear it in the outro?????

  • Sean

    The Maniac remake will be the main review.

  • Steve Kroodsma

    That’s my favorite one too. Or just “Avid’s being weird.”
    A co-worker of mine actually made a little app that’s just the render progress bar, which he leaves up on the screen any time he wants to dick around. Genius.

  • Milan

    i liked maniac a lot (specially the music) so looking forward to the movie review. when it comes to recommending non obvious horor movies, try italian gore’s by fulci, soavi, argento or bava (love the sect, the church and house by cemetary) they are great flicks but not so well known outside europe i would think!

    btw with before midnight coming out where would you put it in your blu ray collection? in front of before sunrise and sunset (coz the alphabet) or after them coz it is the third movie in series?

  • filmfan5

    i would love to hear you guys discuss the Original Carrie!!!!

  • Goldie_Hawn_Golden_Shower

    Is Frank and Reed the same person morphed into one?

  • Kenneth Serenyi

    How did the prison in Escape Plan compare to the one Cobra Commander and Destro were held in in G.I. Joe 2? What are Frank’s views on Evan Almighty, already a classic Noah’s Ark story? ;)

  • French

    People keep saying that, I don’t get it. Reed’s public image is a narcissist hoarder who hates humanity. Frank’s the most positive guy on the show.

  • Jasper

    That does it, Sean. I am a black hacker and I look iike fitty. Who are you to judge?!
