The World’s End – Extra – The Awesome Movie Podcast

E-Roc’s Summary:

SPOILERS!   SPOILERS!   SPOILERS!    E-Roc, Joberwacki and Shep talk about the newly released (as of this recording) movie The World’s End.    They will spoil parts of this.  If you don’t want to be spoiled.  Don’t listen.  Delete it or ignore it.  Whatever you choose.   Just don’t blame us if you get spoiled.   We warn you here and at the start of the podcast.    The guys just give a quick up or down on the movie and their initial impressions.  They do talk some plot points and a few specific things but for the most part they don’t get into much detail.

The Lost Boys – Episode 14 – The Awesome Movie Podcast

E-Roc’s Summary:

For episode 14 the guys get into the 80’s classic The Lost Boys.    The 1987 film starring Kiefer Sutherland, Corey Haim, Corey Feldman and Jason Patric.    They get into the usual stuff with the show including how perfect the music is for the movie, the sax guy and how great he was, how cheesy parts of the flick are and just how much fun they all had watching it.   There’s even a jab or two aimed at twilight.    They get into the Pickening and other movies at the end and fun was had by all.    Hope you enjoy.
