This Episode: Sarah has high standards. Deadpool, Deadpool, Deadpool. Soundtracks are important. Non-Marvel Marvel movies usually suck. All four of us are scary movie wimps. Marshall gets lost chronologically. Josh dies hard. Firewatch lets us Choose Our Own Adventure. Bryn delves into some older comics. How's that new Kanye album? Shoes are expensive. We had a blast discussing this stuff and hope you enjoy listening! If you do, we'd appreciate a rating on iTunes.

This Episode: Santa Claus, for some reason. Sarah revels in dark comedies. Josh knows kung fu. Who needs talking in movies? Leo can't do accents. Being cold sucks. Sarah was inspired by Joy. Marshall likes rules more than sports. Super Bowl ads are as absurd as ever. And we were featured on iTunes' New and Noteworthy list :) We had a blast discussing this stuff and hope you enjoy listening! If you do, we'd appreciate a rating on iTunes.

Marshall loves his onesie. Josh fell into a Zodiac internet hole. The best critic is one you agree with. Reddit got mad about the internet. Marshall has a thing for being stranded on islands. Anti-heroes are tough to get behind. The LEGO Movie is awesome. The Witness is fucking genius. Bryn keeps the comic talk short and sweet. Also, stay tuned after the end music for some bonus post-show chat on headphones, device naming schemes, iPhone rumors, and wireless data streaming.

Lots of corrections and reference explanations in the Editor's Notes this week. 0:52 - The Hunger Games: The Mockingjay, Part 2 1:03 - Sarah Jackson 1:29 - Read the books 3:45 - Editor's Note: Marshall is thinking of the Twilight series, which also split its final chapter into two movies." 4:40 - Trapper Keeper 6:49 - Editor's Note: Thank you for reading the show notes! I try to be a good man and thorough. 7:15 - The Group Hopper - Saturday Night Live 7:21 - Maze Runner, Divergent, The Giver 8:50 - Editor's Note: Joshua is referencing PanAm (Pan American World Airlines), which was a major airline that went out of business in 1991. 11:50 - Jena Malone plays Johanna 16:51 - Joan of Arc 19:36 - Alien 21:15 - Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice 21:49 - Emily Blunt in Looper 23:06 - Thrall from Destiny 26:29 - Editor's Note: Marshall was going to make the point that Michelle Forbes also plays the captain of the Pegasus in Battlestar Galactica. 30:56 - Editor's Note: The etymology of "avox" is interesting. It's a combination of "a," meaning "without," and "vox," which is Latin for "voice." So "avox" translates literally to "without voice." Pretty cool, huh? 31:25 - Editor's Note: Marshall means the brothers Tank and Dozer from The Matrix. Close, but no cigar. 35:25 - Editor's Note: We weren't able to confirm this line, but both Joshua and Marshall remember it as "I don't know." 36:51 - Editor's Note: Marshall means "an hour earlier" in movie runtime, not in story event time." 38:15 - Josh Hutcherson 46:10 - Portal and Spelunky 46:26 - Editor's Note: Marshall is also thinking of the game 1000 Spikes (video is very NSFW). 49:34 - Philip Seymour Hoffman 53:32 - Editor's Note: In a cut segment, Sarah mistakenly says "keacepeepers" instead of "peacekeepers," so Marshall is calling back that joke, but it's out of context here. 54:55 - Michael Bay Epic Spinning Shot Supercut 55:25 - Editor's Note: Marshall means "depth of field" here, not "field of view." He confuses those all the time. 55:33 - The spinning shot from The Dark Knight party scene 55:58 - Editor's Note: "The Nut" is the name of the compound that the rebels inacapac with an avalanche. 56:31 - Instagram's Hyperlapse stabilization is pretty amazing 56:44 - Joshua's rating: 2 out of 5 57:21 - Marshall's rating: 1.75 out of 5 57:50 - "Not like this." 59:46 - Sarah's rating: 1 out of 5 1:00:09 - Concept art for the human dogs or "muttations" 1:01:04 - Editor's Note: Marshall is referring to his opinion of the characters Kate Mara plays referenced in episode 2 or Vicarious, "Work the Problem." 1:01:19 - Editor's Note: The "#notmypeeta" quip is a reference to John Oliver's "#notmychristian" campaign on Last Week Tonight in which he bemoans the casting of Jamie Dornan as Christian Grey in the film adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey.
