Berk Reviews Movie Club Episode 056 - Boyhood To finish the first month of year two's theme of Certified Fresh, which are movies that are on the Rotten Tomatoes all-time top 100 list that either Jonathan or Corey or both haven't seen, Jonathan selected Richard Linklater's Boyhood (2014). The film stars Ellar Coltrane, Patricia Arquette, Ethan Hawke, and Lorelei Linklater. It had a lot of awards acclaim and boasts a unique filmmaking elements having been filmed over 12 years. Corey had seen this before, but Jonathan had skipped it not sure if the 2 hour and 45minute run time was worth the risk of the novelty. Before they get into their initial reviews of the film, Jonathan and Corey discuss what they've been watching recently. Follow Jonathan Berk (@berkreviews) and Corey Starr, (@coreyrstarr) on Twitter, Instagram, and Letterboxd to keep up with their comments, thoughts, and lists.

That's right, it's time for another SPOILERCAST! This week, Adam, Norm, and Will discuss Richard Linklater's Boyhood, which you should all go see.
Inspired by Escape From Tomorrow, a deeply flawed film with a production history that's more interesting than the film itself, Joe and Ed discuss the problems that arise when you know too much about how a movie was made. Does knowing that a film was difficult to make or had a compelling back story prejudice a viewer's opinion of the work itself? Can a gimmick like Escape From Tomorrow's hurt a film by making people overly aware of its mechanics while they watch it, or is it justified by the fact that people will be drawn to it? What separates that film from Richard Linklater's Boyhood (which seemingly cannot be discussed outside of the ambitious way in which it was filmed)? These are just some of the questions that they consider as they try to figure out how much knowledge is too much. Have a listen, and feel free to weigh in on Facebook, Twitter, or by leaving us a review on iTunes. You can also listen to the episode on Stitcher.Note: This episode has some audio issues resulting from problems with Ed's microphone. The audio is still listenable, and it's a fun, interesting discussion, but there is a background fuzziness that gets noticeably worse as the episode progresses. We apologise, and will endeavour not to repeat the mistake in the future.
