Episode 28: Tyler Perry

UGO and BadAssDigest writer Evan Saathoff joins us for a fascinating discussion on the controversial, yet highly successful filmmaker Tyler Perry. We focus on his most recent film, MADEA'S BIG HAPPY FAMILY, as well as his dramatic departure, FOR COLORED GIRLS, which was the adaptation of an incredibly significant series of poems. Most importantly, we elaborate in great detail, our bewilderment while watching WHY DID I GET MARRIED and its sequel. In addition, Evan reviews HAYWIRE, Jim travels back to reclaim his love of RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART 2, and Patrick decides to inquire to us about certain movie-watching biases or "raw materials" that we consider. In a couple weeks, musician and avid film buff, Jordaan Mason joins us to talk about the long, interesting career of director Gus Van Sant.
