Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit & 2nd Annual Can't Win Movie Awards

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire Shane Leonard review Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit. It's also time for the second annual Can't Win Awards where we hand out our own awards for Best Film, Director, Screenplay, Actor and Actress, choosing among those that, for whatever, have no real chance of taking home any other award this season, but deserve to be recognized anyway.

The Critics Choice Movie Awards, Her, Lone Survivor, & August: Osage County

It's the height of awards season, and before The Critics' Choice Movie Awards airs on the 16th, BFCA member Marc Eastman and co-host extraordinaire Shane Leonard give their take on the nominations, and their predictions.
We'll also be playing a bit of catch-up, reviewing award darling Her, as well as Lone Survivor, and August: Osage County.
Find out what we think of the upcoming awards shows, and get the full scoop on what we think will win not only the CCMAs, but also the Academy Awards.

The Wolf of Wall Street Review

AreYouScreening.com host Marc Eastman and co-host extraordinaire Shane Leonard review The Wolf of Wall Street. This one has been causing a bit of a stir, with a fair number of very positive reviews mixed together with some theaters reporting more people demanding their money back than with any other movie since The Tree of Life.
With Scorsese and DiCaprio in the mix, you know that you're going to get quite a draw, but does this one work, and is it worth your time? We'll let you know, and I have a feeling we might actually have some widely different perspectives on this one.
 

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty @ Saving Mr. Banks

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA film critic Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.
We'll also be looking back at a few others that came out recently, including Saving Mr. Banks, and we'll be talking more about the award season in general, and the best movies of the year.

American Hustle, Awards, And More

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review American Hustle and talk about the awards season.
We'll also be covering the end of the year in general, and make a few predictions.

The Hobbit, Golden Globes, And More

AreYouScreening.com and BFCA critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire Shane Leonard will be taking on The Hobbit, The Golden Globes nominations, and probably a few other films.
The Desolation of Smaug is getting good reviews (better than the first film), and we'll let you know what's going on there. Is this series going to improve throughout?
Call in or join us in the chat to let us know your thoughts, or ask any questions.

The Looking Back Over The Year Episode

We can (usually) only cover one movie a week, so as we get close to awards season we're going back over the year to hit some of the titles that weren't at the top of our list during their release week. We'll be covering Captain Phillips, 12 Years a Slave, The Bling Ring, and possibly several others (like The Butler, Before Midnight, and more).
This may be the only chance we have for a dedicated, massive catch up episode, so tune in and let us know what you want to hear about, and give us your thoughts on any of these titles, or any others that we haven't covered during the year.
Plus, we'll hopefully have time to let you in on our thoughts about the awards season in general.

Out of the Furnace & Disney's Frozen Review

It's an odd mix of films this week, and Christian Bale and a snow princess make for odd company. Are these worth your time? We'll let you know. Considering Frozen is managing to hold up against The Hunger Games, you've probably already seen it, and we have something to say about that.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Review

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
We'll also have some interview clips with the stars, and we have a couple of interesting announcements, including a podcast-specific giveaway!

Dallas Buyers Club & The World's End

AreYouScreening.com host and BFCA film critic, Marc Eastman, and co-host extraordinaire, Shane Leonard, review Dallas Buyers Club and The World's End.
We'll see if the hype is worth it for Dallas Buyers Club, and we'll catch up on one we missed that is about to hit on Blu-Ray. It's a drama/comedy double-feature.
