Face/Off: Cage Match, We Ran Out of Ideas, Comma

AKOP-faceoff

Shawn Lotte and Jesse Gelinas return to talk about the hit action film Face/Off! We talk about Nic Cage’s 96-97 acting season high, finally settle (not really) the Travolta vs. Cage debate, and weird production details. Also, Earl talks about Sam Rockwell’s twin, Jesse introduces us to the One True God, and Shawn explains how he sorts out people… with Face/Off. So really, the whole episode goes off on tangents as much as faces do in the movie.

Guests:
Jesse Gelinas – Senior Editor of Movie Reviews for We Eat Films
Shawn Lotte – “Most of that story is a lie”

Supplementary notes:
One True God – Reddit

A Song of Ice & Fire – Game of Thrones

AKOP-Covers_GoT

Brace yourselves, All Kinds of Philler is coming! This episode is all about the fantasy novel series A Song of Ice & Fire and its TV adaptation, Game of Thrones. Earl summons his small council, Tony and Brent, to discuss the crossover hit up to their third installments. They compare the books to the show, its popularity and acclaim, their favourite characters, censorship on HBO, and whether or not it’ll have a solid, satisfying ending.
