Episode #115: "Queen of Katwe," and "The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years"

Published: Sept. 23, 2016, 11 a.m.

This week the guys get in on the game of using three fictional characters to describe themselves. Then Evan and Kris talk about the 70mm and Widescreen Festival at the Somerville Theatre (at 7:04), where they saw TRON and SLEEPING BEAUTY. While discussing how beautiful these films look, they each share new elements that they discovered by watching them on the big screen. After that, Dave provides a \u201cRiedel\u2019s Recap\u201d of GREEN ROOM (at 15:56), which offers specific comparisons to Jeremy Saulnier\u2019s previous movie BLUE RUIN. Next, Kris delivers a \u201cKeeping up with the Jensons\u201d about DEMON (at 21:32), where he offers a very different take on the picture than Evan. Dave transitions into THE BEATLES: EIGHT DAYS A WEEK \u2013 THE TOURING YEARS (at 29:57), a Ron Howard documentary that attempts to whitewash tensions between the band\u2019s members. Finally, Kris and Evan close out with QUEEN OF KATWE (at 39:10), a Disney sports movie about chess, which is carried by good humor and cute kids learning about life.
