More from Project Big Screen
YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING - or can you? We react to and review Nathan Fielder & Lance Oppenheim’s new Elizabeth Holmes documentary taking the world by storm. We have 90+ minutes of discussion including a spoiler-free section, HOWEVER, we HIGHLY recommend seeing the film prior to listening to the review.
The sequel to our #1 film of the CENTURY is here… is it any good? On this episode we review the follow-up to THE SOCIAL NETWORK, Aaron Sorkin’s ‘THE SOCIAL RECKONING’. We’ve also got our review of ‘OTHER MOMMY’, a new horror film starring Jessica Chastain, as well as our thoughts on several other new releases including MATCHBOX, ANIMALS, CLUB KID, and more…
IT’S DIGGIN TIME. On this episode we review Tom Cruise’s return to non-franchise acting — the wildly divisive new film from Alejandro J. Iñarritu, DIGGER. We highly (HIGHLY) recommend seeing the film before listening to the spoiler section of our review! The panel is as split as the reviews… but who’s got it right?
Take a seat… On this episode we review PRIMETIME and welcome the director Lance Oppenheim and star Skyler Gisondo onto the show to discuss the polarizing film, Robert Pattinson, and more!
This week, we review RESIDENT EVIL and are joined by director Zach Cregger and star Austin Abrams live from Fantastic Fest in Austin on the night of their film’s premiere.
