Podcast appearances and mentions of matt patches

Katey Rich and Matt Patches do their very best in the middle of the afternoon to talk about some stuff including being ready for the next Tom Cruise era (after one of them saw Mission: Impossible The Final Reckoning), when Matt first saw the final cut of The Departed, wondering if Brad Pitt can be […]

This week, David and Katey are out doing important family and movie business, but not Da7e and Matt Patches, who assemble in the War Room not to fight but to have a little free-form media chat that lasted way too long. At least we didn’t cancel the podcast. Take a listen, embed and/or download below; […]

With the 97th Academy Awards finally in the rearview, Katey gathers a murderers' row of former guests to share their final takeaway from this topsy turvy season. Answering the question "What did you learn from this year's Oscars?" are Esther Zuckerman, Jordan Hoffman, Richard Rushfield, Tyler Coates, Michael Shulman, Sam Adams, Rebecca Ford, Shirley Li, Matt Patches, David Canfield, Chris Murphy, Sean Fennessey, Alison Brower, and Chris Feil. Join us, and then you never have to think about this year's Oscars again. Subscribe to the Prestige Junkie newsletter.  Follow Katey on X and Letterboxd.  Follow The Ankler. 

This week, David is back from Sundance but Matt Patches has a (lah-dee-dah) dinner he has to get to answer skips out. First, Da7e notices that they have more emails than normal and suggests they stop skipping and read them. Then, Katey curates a conversation with the guys about Academy Award nominations even though that’s […]

Matt Patches, Katey's old friend and co-host on the Fighting in the War Room podcast, joins to explain the emergence of the Game Awards, why the video game industry cares so much about them, and what Hollywood's awards shows might be able to learn from a much newer version of the format. Then Katey talks to Eddie Redmayne, who is spearheading the ambitious new spy series The Day of the Jackal but also reflecting on the 10 years that have passed since his Oscar win, and what he's learned about his own taste in movies in the process.

This week, Katey and David are both attempting to watch Amazon Studios Fallout adaptation and Matt Patches, who has seen the whole thing, tries to manage their expectations. Then, Da7e is going back to the theaters to watch Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace this weekend and suggests some reasons why. Finally, everyone saw […]

This week, it’s Matt Patches who has to sit an episode out (apparently because of snow and children), bt Katey, Da7e, and David convene in the War Room to talk about Lisa Frankenstein (currently in theaters), the big trailers that debuted during the Super Bowl (including Twisters!). Then, the three dig into the Netflix series […]

This week, everyone is back in the war room for one week (fall festivals incoming!). We kick it off with a question from Matt Patches about SAG waivers for promoting non-AMPTP produced films, then Katey and Da7e check in on the new season of Only Murders in the Building on Hulu, and finally get to […]

This week, David and Katey are out for summer reasons, so Da7e and Matt Patches convene to discuss a variety of random topics, including big questions and mini-reviews trying not to cancel the show or each other. Da7e gives a mini-review on why he liked Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny more than other […]

It's Just The Gist  - "F*cking White People" Edition; The story of the 1981 film ROAR. A tale of how a rich naive Hollywood couple spent over a decade making a movie that starred them, their kids and 150 lions, tigers, leopards, panthers, ALLL the big cats. The movie was pitched as a "family comedy", but is widely regarded as one of the most dangerous films of all time. Roar starred Tippy Hedron (Star of Hitchcock's The Birds and others) her daughter Melanie Griffiths, and the rest of their family. The plot is broadly "we can save the world/animal kingdom/lions and tigers etc are all big friendly besties who just are misunderstood and we can live with them in harmony". Sounds cute in theory, maybe in adorable cartoons, but filming with 150 big cats gives very different results. Turns out, big cats gunna big cat; the films credits say no animals were harmed in the making of the movie (lies lol), but they don't say anything about how many PEOPLE were mauled, scalped, attacked, and generally not treated as one would hope to be treated at work. We give you just the gist, but if you want more, there's this: LINKS  Watch ROAR! Trailer from it's 2015 re-release https://bit.ly/roarfilm-trailer .

Matt Patches (Thrillist, Grantland) joins Griffin and David this week to discuss Shyamalan’s fourth feature, Unbreakable. This sad and muted superhero film where mostly nothing happens was seen by many critics and fans as a “sophomore slump” when released in 2000. But what are some of it’s redeeming qualities? How does it stand out among the Marvel superhero movie craze in the years that followed? Oh and is there a twist you ask? Well listen along as the gang unpacks the making and reception of Unbreakable, together examine the stylistic choices incorporating the visual language of comic books, begin to notice a pattern of recurring themes related to loveless marriages and disturbed children, and try to shake the dead eyes of Spencer Treat Clark.

It's the time of year when children head back to campus, but even if you've already graduated, it's still easy to get into the trapper keeper mindset with movies. Beloved culture commentator Matt Patches joins us to celebrate and dissect the greatest movies about school (and escaping it) as we attempt to pinpoint the film that best encapsulates all the feelings we had waiting to be saved by the bell. Plus, Lords of Salem director Rob Zombie joins us to explain making bad career choices as a viable career choice (including his forthcoming hockey movie), we deliver the news in only 3 words, and then we leave the kind words at home for the giant kind of shouting debate that Ben Affleck's Batman casting deserves. You should follow Rob Zombie (@robzombie), Matt Patches (@misterpatches), the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe) and Scott (@scottmbeggs) on Twitter for more fun stuff on a daily basis. And, as always, if you like the show (or hate it with seething fervor), please help us out with a review.

Vimeo has launched a new distribution channel for creators, and a major studio is using Kickstarter. It's been quite a week for the future of film financing.  In this episode, we'll talk with Vimeo VP for Creative Development Blake Whitman about Vimeo On Demand, and then Operation Kino co-hosts Matt Patches and Da7e Gonzales join us for a four-way conversation about whether Warner Bros. getting into the crowdfunding game with Veronica Mars is good, bad or ugly. For more from us on a daily basis, follow the show (@brokenprojector), Geoff (@drgmlatulippe), Scott (@scottmbeggs), Patches (@misterpatches) and Da7e (@da7e) on the Twitter. And, as always, we welcome your feedback.

Good morning benders and non-benders alike and welcome to the Repulic City Dispatch, a radio programme covering Nickelodeon’s Legend of Korra series.

On this week’s very special edition of Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider, Jeff Bayer is in Africa, doing goodness knows what, but do not fear! He and Eric D. Snider pre-taped some stuff before he left, so the show still has your recommended daily allowance of Bayer. They both liked “Hanna” pretty well. In the studio, Mike Russell (@culturepulp on Twitter) and Snider agreed that “Arthur” is passable but nothing special. Via Skype, Matt Patches (@misterpatches) told us about “Soul Surfer,” and he and Snider expressed their disappointment in “Your Highness.” Then: pre-taped Pitch Me, with Henry Winkler and Natalie Portman! And all was well in the land.
