This week the guys discuss the narrative differences between Mary Shelley\\u2019s \\u201cFrankenstein\\u201d and film adaptations of her tale at the start of the show. Then Evan reviews Macon Blair\\u2019s directorial debut I DON\\u2019T FEEL AT HOME IN THIS WORLD ANYMORE (at 5:01), which has a title that sounds like a Facebook status Kris would have written if it had existed in 1995. Blair borrows stylistic elements from director Jeremy Saulnier, but his film lacks the intensity, excitement, and payoff of Saulnier\\u2019s movies. Next Dave spoilerpieces Evan and Kris into never seeing THE PROMISE (at 27:22), which is like PEARL HARBOR with more death, and a less interesting love story. If you\\u2019re looking for context or history behind the Armenian genocide depicted in the movie, you won\\u2019t find it. Lastly, Kris closes with Ben Wheatley\\u2019s FREE FIRE (at 47:30), a short, stylized action flick with an\\xa0outcome that is not as funny as its set up. Kris talks about how Wheatley seems more interested in color, movement, and brutality than getting you to care about what his characters are saying, and why that\\u2019s disappointing as a viewer.
