    Cowspiracy (2014)

    Special thanks to Adele McDonough who commissioned a podcast on the 2014 documentary film "Cowspiracy", available on Netflix and most other streaming services. Produced and directed by Kip Anderson, it alleges a vast conspiracy among big business, politicians, and even environmental special interests groups to bury the severe negative impact the consumption of meat has on our global climate and water supply. Jim and A.Ron check the facts and try to answer some tough moral and ethical questions as we debate the facts, figures, and philosophy of where individual rights and personal choices come into conflict with the greater good and our duties to posterity. Thanks again Adele! We appreciate your support! If you'd like to find out how you can commission your very own podcast, please see our Bald Move Shop for full details!

    Firefly (2002)

    In this community commissioned podcast, we discuss Joss Whedon's 2002 television series, "Firefly", which was sadly strangled in the crib by Fox, only to miraculously arise again in the form of a movie, where Whedon decided to put it down for good. We love the series so much that we watch the whole damn thing again, and the movie, and we have a lot of thoughts on the matter. We hope you enjoy this super sized reminiscing of one of our favorite Sci-Fi series of all time. Special thanks goes out to all of our commissioners; Keith F, Ben S, Michael McB, Kristina M, Ballanor, Jonathan N, Driveshaft, Windysideofcare, Stuart G, Lee M, E.Rin P, Freddy C, Tyler Shumway, Jay R. and J. Johnson for banding together to make this podcast happen. Thanks for your support! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Saving Private Ryan (1998)

    Mr. Justin “Hatorian” K. won a Bald Move fantasy football league, and this was his reward; the selection of the modern classic war movie, "Saving Private Ryan". Directed by Steven Spielberg, and starring every man in Hollywood (Tom Hanks, Matt Damon, Vin Diesel, Bryan Cranston, NATHAN FILLION, Paul Giamatti, among others), it's a pitiless look into the hell that is war. It is also moving, heroic, complex tale of brotherhood, bravery, cowardice, and loss. It's a powerful film that you really must see before partaking of the podcast, but if you've already stormed the beaches of Normandy with Capt. Miller and company, please enjoy the podcast.

    Deadpool (2016)

    Jim and A.Ron saw the latest kinda-sorta-Marvel movie, "Deadpool", and found it defied their expectations. Rather pleasantly so. What we were expecting is some kind of Dumpuary disaster, and what we got was a slick, action packed, very hard "R", very funny send up of the super hero genre. If you like movies in the "Cranked" franchise, or the latest "Kingsmen" flick, you'll be right at home. If you want our general thoughts and opinions, as well as what we're excited for in the "coming soon" trailers, you are welcome to help yourself, but we save the spoiler-filled deep dive for Bald Move Club members only!

    Full Metal Jacket (1987)

    Special thanks to Judd Blevins, who as a Marine has a special place in his heart for Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket and thus pulled the metaphoric trigger on this commission. A tale of two movies if there ever was one, and featuring what A.Ron describes as a very "un-Kubrickian" structure and asthetic, they guys talk about life in the military, ethics and morality in times of war, season two of Serial Podcast, and probably ill-informed commentary on geopolitics. If you want to know more, you might want to check out "Born to Kill: The Hidden Meaning Behind Full Metal Jacket" on YouTube, and "The Jungian Thing: Duality in Full Metal Jacket", which is a discussion archived from a newsgroup between several notable creative and critical types.

    Hail, Caesar! (2016)

    We've seen the latest Coen brother's film, "Hail, Caesar!", and it's really... something. Funny, but not hilarious, interesting but ultimately meaningless... or is it? A crazy stew of singing and dancing and politics and religion and featuring more star power than the Milky Way, like most Coen films it will probably reward multiple views. Check out our spoiler free mini-review, and if you're a Club member, stick around for a spoiler filled in depth discussion. Next week, we'll be back with our review of Deadpool! See you then!

    The Shining (1980)

    Jim and A.Ron check into the Overlook Hotel as we are compelled to podcast on the 1980 Stanley Kubrick psychological-horror masterpiece, "The Shining". Starring Jack Nicholson and Shelly Duvall, it's an incredible combination of beautifully crafted shots, stunning and terrifying visuals and imagery, and Jack Nicholson's fully insane acting. There is so much to discuss; the film itself, our reactions, Stephen King's antagonism towards the film, the various theories and documentaries the film has spawned, subliminal messages and hidden meanings, and fine naked ladies with implausible afros. All this and more is discussed, and we felt like we hardly scratched the surface. Thanks to Jenny of BrBaFaFe fame, Ryan Lamb, Martin_ORU, PityPity Pyla, Coral182, and Moreadgbowser1064 for pooling their funds together on this commissioned podcast.

    A Prophet (2009)

    Special thanks to Frank Cantelmi for pulling the metaphoric trigger to commission a podcast on "A Prophet", a 2009 French film and Academy Award nominee directed by Jacques Audiard. An intense, beautiful, absorbing look in how a hapless youth is pulled ever deeper into a world of violent crime, Jim and A.Ron compare it favorably to The Godfather, Goodfellas, and Scarface. Yes, really. Thanks again, Frank! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Pulp Fiction (1994)

    Hey, it's our first ever community commissioned podcast! Thanks to eight intrepid members of the Bald Move community for pitching in and making this podcast happen. Pulp Fiction is a Tarantino classic, starring Sam Jackson, John Travolta, Uma Thurman along with many others. It's funny, it's violent, it's cool as hell, it is watchable as all hell, features a lot of interesting structural and visual details, and offers some of the all time best dialog ever. We love this film, and we hope you all love the podcast. If you want another Bald Move take, check out Eric and Levi's Direct podcast covering Pulp Fiction. Thanks to Tiffany C., Tvollmer89, Brittel23, Davedjhosu, Keith A., Lesleyj42, Coral182, and Moreadgbowser1064 for making this happen! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    The Fifth Element (1997)

    Special thanks once again to Aaron Spaulding, who for his double commission feature selected the wonderful, weird, and fully preposterous Luc Besson joint "The Fifth Element", of which Jim and I are very familiar with. We delve into the depths of Jim's annoyance with Ruby, while A.Ron explains how he quit worrying and learned to love the Rodd, Besson's partly crazy, partly insightful look into life in the 24th century, and spend quite a bit of time analyzing the lead actors Bruce Willis, Milla Jovovich, and Gary Oldman.

    The Silence of the Lambs (1991)

    This commissioned podcast is brought to you by the generosity of one Aaron Spaulding, thank you! Aaron wanted us to check out the 1991 mystery/thriller, "The Silence of the Lambs", directed by Jonathan Demme and starring Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster. It's no surprise that we're mesmerized by Hopkin's performance of the chilling yet suave and charming Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and found the film offered some smart commentary on a female breaking into a male dominated space as well. What might be to some surprise is Jim and A.Ron's relative unfamiliarity with the material, which led to some confusion in places. Hope you enjoy the podcast, I hear it pairs well with a nice Chianti. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Making a Murderer

    Jim and A.Ron have a LOT to say about Netflix's documentary, "Making a Murderer". Lots of spoilers ahead, but if you just want our opinion on whether the show is worth watching or not, rest assured that it absolutely is. We discuss the case, the defendants, the evidence, the criminal justice system in America, and ask what can we do individually and collectively to fix the numerous issues that are shed light on. If you'd like to help innocent people be exonerated, consider donating to the Innocence Project. If you'd like to know why you should never, ever talk to the police regarding a criminal matter, please watch this video by law professor and former defense attorney James Duane with Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney and former detective George Bruch on police questioning. If you'd like to join the ranks of internet detectives, the most current and best information regarding the ongoing cases discussed in Making a Murderer can be found on the show's subreddit. Just please remember to take into account the lessons learned in the documentary during your investigation.
