The Obsessive Viewer Podcast – Ep 5 – FIRST CONTEST, Memorable Theater Experiences & Why We Love Movies
Here’s the latest episode of The Obsessive Viewer Podcast with Matt & Tiny! We recorded this in Tiny’s basement after I had worked all night and he had gotten an hour or two of sleep.

The Obsessive Viewer Podcast – Ep 4 – Bonus Ep – Game of Thrones Season 3
It’s a bonus episode of The Obsessive Viewer Podcast! I finished the third season of Game of Thrones a couple weeks ago. Tiny and I agreed that, instead of talking about it briefly at the head of an episode, we’d go ahead and devote a bonus episode to the series. It was a lot of fun recording this one and I feel […]
Movie Reviews: Recount (2008) & Game Change (2012)
I’m not a political person at all. I feel like politics are the world’s most successful reality show, wherein the media distributes ultimately meaningless drama to a mass audience that willfully accepts the bastardization of important issues. Political debates have devolved into competitions where the goal is to discredit your opponent rather than espouse your own ideals and solutions. The […]

The Month in Movies: June 2013
I had a pretty good June as far as movie-watching is concerned. I didn’t break any records (2008 – 25 viewings) but I did triple my numbers from last year’s paltry 6 viewings. I made good progress in my Bond set and managed some memorable theater viewings. All in all not a bad month. You can see the full chronological […]

Movie Review: Room 237 (2012)
Did Stanley Kubrick film the moon landing and leave clues of the conspiracy sprinkled throughout The Shining? Is The Shining a deeper metaphor for the genocide of the Native Americans? Is it possible to retain credibility when your documentary features an interviewee’s kid interrupting the interview? These are all questions raised and then haphazardly discarded in the nearly unwatchable conspiracy […]

Blu-Ray Review: Bond 50: Part IV – Diamonds Are Forever (1971) & Live and Let Die (1973)
I’m finally back into the swing of reviewing my Bond box set.

Let me know what you think of these two entries in the […]
