Happy Hour Network

2017 is FINALLY OVER (almost)! What happened in this year that we liked (movie wise) and what went horrifically wrong? All that and movie news that slipped under the radar. With special guests: Lee Vowell and Ted Hicks! www.CinemaSavants.com

A movie so big it deserved an episode all to itself - because episode 8 is a big number, right?  The LAST JEDI has been seen by millions, but did they get everything?  Todd and Rob recruit special guest Lee Vowell (because Ted Hicks couldn't make it) to discuss everything that went right and a lot that went wrong in the latest installment of everyone's favorite space series! www.CinemaSavants.com

Coming up in this week's show some Incredibles (2) news, Lord of the Rings is coming to Amazon whether we want it or not, Rob may have found a decent X-men movie, and SO MUCH MORE! www.CinemaSavants.com

In this week's show we've got news on a potential Hulk trilogy, Firestorm's demise, a new STAR WARS trailer, Todd's Blade Runner 2(049) review and a razor commercial... no, really, it's movie related and worth watching. That and a WHOLE LOT MORE!  Check it out! www.cinemasavants.com

Brought to you by the F7 Shoe! Star Trek Discovery is being considered racist? Television movies might be considered for Oscars? Fast and Furious 9 will be delayed a whole year? What in the world is going on Hollywood? Well, we have some of the answers. So, sit back. Relax. And enjoy the show. www.CinemaSavants.com

DC couldn't keep it up and is back to their slightly drunk in appearance ways.  Marvel trumps ABC to keep Agents of SHIELD going.  Blade Runner 2(049) looks great.  IT is getting flack from Burger King?  All this and so much more on this episode.   And if you're wondering why our slogan is "We watch movies so you don't have to," give us a listen; you'll find out. www.cinemasavants.com

DC looks like it knows what it's doing now... and Marvel doesn't? It's a topsy-turvy kind of world and there's a lot of weird movie news out there. We don't have all of it... but we have enough to make a very interesting, if not partly spectacular, show. Give it a listen! www.cinemasavants.com

In this weeks less than stellar comedic look at the news (not my fault, blame the news) we have Ted Cruz's finger, not-really-surprising DNA testing results, a disrespectful report, an anti-gay homosexual pastor, and some Christmas issues. All this and a bit more. Give it a listen. I promise it will be painless. www.theFWOTshow.com  

Todd's back!  And despite the horrid box office numbers, we've even got movie news to go with him!  Calendar release dates, Star Wars director news including a current(ish) location of Boba Fett, comic book news galore, a new DIE HARD book that can be nothing but awesome and the most influential visual effects movies ever - according to "experts."  Did they get it right?  Give a listen to find out! www.cinemasavants.com

Interesting things this week.  DC Comics seems to know what it's doing on television, but not so much in theaters.  Joss Whedon in hot water with... women?  And it's not a hot tub.  (Well, it might be and therefore...)  Spiderman Spinoffs, Star Wars Sacking, Starsky and Knight Rider Rebooting, and the greatest comedy movie of all-time!  (Hint.  It wasn't Tom Cruise's "The Mummy".) That's a lot of stuff to get through in an hour but we'll do that and more!  Tune in! Brought to you by the ever-popular F7 Shoe! www.CinemaSavants.com

In this week's story, we follow another young man, into the depth of the Earth, where everything is not as it seems. Please enjoy the short story "The Shaft" by Rob Steele.

Rob and Todd return to punish - oops, wrong verb - to entertain you with movie news, previwes, and reviews. Tomorrow's total eclipse in in the U.S. has us in a Bonnie Tyler kind of mood, so we'll talk about other eclipses for a bit. Total eclipses of sanity in filmmaking come to mind. These are the movies we watch so you don't have to. This week, we'll even branch out to a highly anticipated audiobook you should avoid like the plague. And a look at the return to the screen of a much-loved character from the 60's and 70's that was...kind of watchable. Oh yeah, and this little show called The Defenders. As always, we'll have the good, the bad and the whaat in partly spectacular fashion. Brought to you by F7 Shoe. www.cinemasavants.com

I know.  I know.  We weren't here last week.  Let us make it up to you by bombarding you with TONS of movie news ranging from James Bond to Justice League to Transformers to... the Blues Brothers?  Not a new movie, but something you probably didn't know about the old one.  Want to know what it is?  Tune in to find out! (Or click play if you're... y'know... of this generation.) Plus two shows you need to binge NOW on Netflix.  Brought to you by F7 Shoe. www.cinemasavants.com

The fallout from Comicon and news we didn't get to last week ranging from Young Justice and Justice League to Thor and the Infinity Gauntlet to Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, Terminator, James Bond, Bloodshot, Barbie, and Charmed.  Then we have this weird thing we do called "Reviewing Movies."  Rob hits King Authur and Sleight while Todd tackles Dunkirk and Atomic Blonde!  And if these reviews are any indication, you'll understand our slogan: "We watch movies so you don't have to."  (Well, the ones Rob watched anyway.) Brought to you by the F7 Shoe! www.cinemasavants.com

 This is that show that lets you know that it's not just you, the world has actually lost its collective mind as evidenced by teenaged cops, chocolate milk cows, algebra, Twitter and even the concept of a "Mustache News" segment - yeah, we've got one of those this week. All of this is in the news and it's probably weirder than you think. Give it a listen! www.theFWOTshow.com

In this week's story, we have a romantic interlude about the values of marriage. Give a listen to The Dream by John King. www.2PagesProject.com

In case you've been living under a rock, The San Diego Comicon was this week and there is so much movie news going on, we can't even organize it like we normally do.  We've got news from Robocop to Robotech, X-Men and Avengers to Batman and the Justice League, Blade Runner, the Rock, Stargate, Van Helsing, Dark Tower and even a brief look at the cosplay!   If you like movies, this is not an episode to be missed! www.cinemasavants.com

The news isn't fake... I just laugh at it while I'm passing it on to you.  This is that show that lets you know that it's not just you, the world has actually lost its collective mind as evidenced by the Bible Belt consumption of what it hates, Trump trying to IMPROVE relations with Russia (like we need more?), Doctor Who backlash and suicidal robots. It's a mad world but it's a FREE show and it's worth it.

We finally get our first western today! The town of Veiled Gulch is being terrorized by a bully called the Iceman - but one man will stand up to him. Give a listen to a tale called The Dragon Weavers by Henry Radcliff The town of Veiled Gulch is being terrorized by a bully called the Iceman - but one man will stand up to him. Give a listen to a tale called The Dragon Weavers by Henry Radcliff. www.2PagesProject.com

At some point during this show, you could hear the FIRST EVER SHOW TO ANNOUNCE THE NEW DOCTOR WHO!  We found out already.  Do you know? Meanwhile, we also have some interesting tidbits about movies and television programs that don't even exist yet, like the Incredibles 2, Wonder Woman 2, the next Bond movie, Batman, Toy Story and even Squirrel Girl (who is apparently a real super hero - or as real as they get anyway). And we'll compare Spike TV's The Mist to Frank Darabont's iconic film version.  We promise another partly spectacular program or we aren't sponsored by the F7 Shoe! www.CinemaSavants.com  

This is that show that lets you know that it's not just you, the world has actually lost its collective mind as evidenced by Flat Earth Society in Colorado (the bumpiest state in the union), Trey Gowdy reappearing only to find out he did something horrifically wrong, Verizon losing its Verizoninity, and birth control being proven to actually work. It's a mad world but it's a FREE show and It's worth it. www.theFWOTshow.com

If you'd like to become a published author with us, stay tuned after the show for a vast majority of the details.  But first, let's get to this week's story where we get a bit of a tutorial on what to do when you find your perfect prey in a monstrous tale called Jasmine's Meal, by Rhonda Bao. www.2pagesproject.com

Do we have a show for you today?  Of course!  Superhero news abounds as Marvel releases a TON of information as well as a new, well-liked, Spider-Man movie! Batman has good news - Star Wars doesn't.  Neither does Sherlock.   Also news on Hawaii 5-0's actor issues, Green Lantern, Wrinkle in Time, animated Godzilla, and Rob's review of the semi-anticipated "Guardians" movie.  No not the one with Groot - the Russian one with the guy and the thing that looks like that other thing from the place with the guy and that girl.  No, the other girl.  Oh just tune in to find out where this is going! www.CinemaSavants.com

The news isn't fake... I just laugh at it while I'm passing it on to you. This is that show that lets you know that it's not just you, the world has actually lost its collective mind as evidenced by the existance of Major League Fishing, a pathetic so-called ACA replacement, reporters who don't know what terrorism is, and an industry that is surprisingly leading the way in VR technology. What to know which one? Well, listen to the show to find out. It's worth it - especially since it's FREE!  

In this week's story, we get a lovely romantic and slightly philosophical stroll through the forest in a story called The Walk by Connor Sloan. www.2PagesProject.com

Amongst our chief topics this week are Spidey in Iron Man 2, Kevin Bacon on television and he's not fried and crispy, forthcoming Predator movie not a reboot but a sequel... kinda, X-Files writers are sexist, Star Wars consistency is gone, Bond spinoffs, Infinity War news and trailers galore! If you miss this program, then you'll be banished to the lakes of Diptheria for all eternity.... or until you listen to the show.  Unless you don't, at which point I'm rather obligated to tell you that the show really is worth listening to and we'd really appreciate it. Sincerely, the Management www.cinemasavants.com 

This is that show that lets you know that it's not just you, the world has actually lost its collective mind as evidenced by the people who can't get over breastfeeding, the "President" who hates fake news despite creating more of it every day, the health bill that includes roads and stadiums, or even the new hypercar that can't go it's top speed because... well, listen to the show to find out. It's worth it - especially since it's FREE! www.theFWOTshow.com

After an unpleasant week off, WE'RE BACK!  We've got good news from the Justice League front (except the whole Hall of Justice thing), bad news from the X-Men front (as if you should expect anything else at this point) and news we're not sure what to make of on the Golden Girls front (!?!?!). Confused?  Good.  Let us help you with that.  Give the show a listen and we promise to sort it all out! www.cinemasavants.com

This week's story is a lovely, rural tale about a lost love and a horrific twist ending.  Sit back and enjoy The Chopping Block, by Rob Steele.   www.2PagesProject.com

On this week's partly spectacular show, Rob and Todd have a million questions about "Wonder Woman". Did DC remember how comic book movies should work? Why did it take Patty Jenkins 14 years to get another feature flim after "Monster"? How exactly do you pronounce "Gal Gadot"? You know, other than bank? And will people finally shut up about how "Catwoman" and "Elektra" prove that female heroes don't equal box office? Netflix is actually cancelling shows. Is that a sign of trouble? Are they targeting shows that are "too diverse"?  The Rock says Rotten Tomatoes kills box office. Brett Rattner agrees. Are they right, or did they make crappy movies? We'll compare the trailers for the 2017 version of "It" versus the 1990 TV version. Won't be long before we can compare the final product. And more trailers, like "The Mountain Between Us" and "Geostorm" One has Idiris Elba and Kate Winslet; the other has lots of CGI. Guess which one will be good! As always we'll feature the good the bad and the whaat and various shenanigans.

This week's mind-bending episode features stories ranging from what is the most misspelled word by state, why is Jaden Smith upset at his pancakes and actual important issues such as why Europe doesn't trust the United States. Also two new segments: Which Trump Headline DIDN'T Happen? and This Week's Despicable Politicians Not Named Donald Trump. All this and some truly bizarre tech news. Give it a listen! www.theFWOTshow.com

News on Justice League, Spaceballs, John Wick, Resident Evil, Wonder Woman, New Mutants, Dark Tower, Johnny English, Spiderman, Roger Moore, Tilda Swinton and SO MUCH MORE! www.cinemasavants.com

Another spectacularly profound episode filled with good ol' American homegrown ignorance on a scale previously unexplored.  Featuring: A Trump-ian geography lesson, United Airlines gets something right, Disney reboots a theme, and THE ELEPHANT ALWAYS WINS! www.theFWOTshow.com

This week has a busy episode with topics varying from Alien to Star Trek to The Dark Crystal to X-Men to Mamma Mia to Charlie Chaplin!  Not even counting the zombies, mummies and Frankenstein's Monster or the premature death of the Inhumans!  All this and the potential identity of First Order leader Snoak!   So, sit back, relax, and prepare yourself for a load of movie information that will be at least partly spectacular! www.CinemaSavants.com

Description forthcoming.  Speculation at this point says the following will be mentioned: Guardians of the Galaxy, Wonder Woman, Justice League Dark, M. Night Shyamalan, Tom Cruise, Hellboy, Agents of SHIELD, Thor, Peter Dinklage, Doctor Who, Blade Runner 2049, X-Men, New Mutants, and CBS.   However, not only is that just speculation, but it is likely to end up being a show description.  www.CinemaSavants.com

Another bumper crop of American grown stupidity including pre-existing conditions, LGBT erasure bills, and the return of Edward Snowden!  All this and a wonderful young child's quote of the week will make this a must-listen episode... even for the acronymically impaired. (My spell-check didn't like 'listen' but was ok with 'acronymically'?  I thought I made that word up.) www.theFWOTshow.com

This week's story is a magical, coming-of-age story from author Jan Perry called "Earth Walking." If you'd like to have your short story published, contact the 2 Page Project by emailing: contact@2PagesProject.com.

This is going to be a 'Colossal' episode with reviews of 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2' and news of the 'Defenders!'  Ok, how about non-Marvel related movie news?  How about 'Mad Max 5', a 'Narnia' reboot, the 'Lion King', 'Alien', 'Avatar', and 'Superman vs. the KKK!'?  Will that do? But wait, listen now and there's more! Okay, you have to wait for the episode, Anyway, more trailer news: Book of Henry, Baywatch, and Ingrid Goes West.  Plus thoughts on new trailers for The Mummy, King Arthur and Thor:Ragnarok. The last is a lie, but we just wanted to poit something out. Another partly spectacular episode is forthcoming, Just click play!

Yet another batch of homegrown American stupidity.  And a president shall lead the way... straight to hell if he has his choice.  Between his inability to count his children to his uneducated views of the Civil War and even a bit of "Religious Liberty?"  Really? On the bright side, one airline has figured out how not to be a d*ck.  Tune in to find out which one.

This week, we have a rather spiritual and mystical story from Faye Wallace called: Mother's Story.

This week, Rob and Todd take an in-depth look at Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, We'll also look at a really fun movie you may have missed (hint - "Yeah what, Superman? Come at me, bro."), and another you wanted to miss if you were unfortunate enough to see it. Spoiler for that one: seven days. We'll talk trailers as always - we all know a lot of times theyr'e better than the movie. Yes, Passengers, I'm talking about you. Let's hope Alien: Covenant, Cloak and Dagger, and King Arthur: Legend of the Sword don't fit that category.   

What's the clickin' noise?  It's the clergy!  They don't like me talking about American stupidity or the so-called President or his ineptitude or bathroom bills or discrimination or Julia Roberts! Therefore, thou shouldst listen to the show-eth.  For thou art intelligent and long for a humorous rant! www.theFWOTshow.com
