TFR 104: A Good, Hard Stare
Hello and welcome! This week we take a good hard look at one of our top five favorite bears, Paddington! Specifically the movies. Austin grew up with the bear, Albert did not, so we have both the nostalgic perspective and the outsider perspective when looking at these films (we both loved them).…

Who remembers when they made movies from cartoons? Well, I mean they still do, but with the actual resources from the cartoon? We do! In that spirit, it's about time we did couple! This week we talk The Jetsons Movie and Ducktales: Treasure of the Lost Lamp! Both with original casts (with one...
-
TFR 93: Steven of All Trades w/Guest Shaun Higgins
Hello, all! Say, it's been a while since we've done a director retrospective, hasn't it? It's a big job, so we brought in mega Soderbergh fan Shaun Higgins to help us! (..okay, he suggested it and we agreed we were sorely lacking on Soderbergh coverage.) Join us as we talk every experiment...
-
TFR 92: That’s Problematic
Welcome! This week we decided to follow up on Al's article on how to deal with problematic art with a full-on episode. It's a big topic and we absolutely can't cover everything, but we can certainly take a bite out of the issue. Feel free to chime in with your thoughts via Twitter or Facebook.…
more -
TFR 91: In the Moonlight
Hello and welcome! This week we're highlighting film that we feel we need to help remove an asterisk on. See, every time a film wins best picture at that year's Oscars carries a stigma because it is then drenched in the popularity contest that is the Academy Awards. Well, every so often, a film...
-

Hello and welcome! This week we pay tribute to our friend, filmmaker Harold Ragsdale, who went out in a literal blaze of glory when his hotel room caught fire on New Year's Eve this last year.

-
TFR 89: Stinky the Hutt
2008? Me neither. ...at least, that's what we'd be saying if the resulting Cartoon Network animated series didn't, um... get really good. Yes, we're covering the 2008 theatrical Clone Wars movie, aka the Thing That Almost Killed Star Wars As a Viable Franchise. Barring the actual Clone Wars…

TFR 88: Two White Guys on Dear White People
Ahead of the Netflix series, we decided to address Justin Simien's debut film Dear White People. Full disclosure: We are, indeed, two white guys (if you didn't already know), so we can't comment on the film from inside black culture, but we can look at it from the perspective of, well.. white...
-
TFR 87: For Your Consideration
And the Winner is... Okay, unlike what you probably expected, this is not an Oscar prediction cast, but a long overdue rant exposing the seedy underbelly of what the Oscars really are. We'll most notably pick on the 2015 Oscars because it's the most notable example in recent memory, but we're...
-
TFR 86: Asghar Farhadi’s A Separation
Welcome to a deadly serious edition of The Film Room Due to recent events, we have decided to do two things. One is to cover an Iranian film, an area of film we've neglected until now. Not just any Iranian film, but Asghar Farhadi's 2011 masterpiece, A Separation! Two is to donate this month's...
-
TFR 85: Song of the Sea and the State of 2D Animation
In this week's episode, we give lip service to a great (largely overlooked) Irish animated film, Song of the Sea.

-
TFR Special Edition! (Star Wars Trilogy SE 20th)
*cue Star Wars Theme* Welcome! Can you believe it's been 20 years since the Star Wars Special Editions were released?

-
TFR 84: The Killing Joke’s On You

-
TFR 83: Predestined (w/Guest AJ Muller)
As you may well know, Time Travel is an easy way to sell a film for us. Not always, but say it involves time travel, and we're all "go onnnn..". WELL strap in because this week have the mother (and father) of all time travel films to talk about, and we have a guest along for the ride! We have...
-
TFR 82: 2 God 2 Dead (w/Guest Thomas Ostrowski)

TFR 81: Love, Finally
Yes, we have two Christmas Specials for you this year! Only one actually having to do with Christmas! At long last we are covering the Christmas classic Love, Actually. Made in 2003 and inspiration to at least half a dozen holiday-themed films that failed to capture lightning in a bottle twice,...
-
TFR 80: Go Speed Racer, Go!
Welcome to the finale for our series on family films! We end it with what is probably the mother of all family films, the Wachowski's Speed Racer! A flop when it came out (we know by now that hey, that doesn't determine a film's longevity), this film has rightly become somewhat of a cult classic....
-
TFR 79: Yearbook 2006 (In Person w/Guest Amanda Shinn)
