Welcome to the second week of our ORIGINS month in which we’re taking a look back at the origin stories of each of the hosts of the podcast. Last week we went back to the very beginning to talk Dead Space. Let’s jump ahead a few weeks to our PROMETHEUS episode, which just so happens to be Jonathan’s introduction to the podcast, as well as Graham’s introduction as frequent guest!
We’re taking a break from your regularly scheduled episodes to bring you the origin stories of each of the hosts of After The Hype, starting with the very first episode…or the second episode? Well, the second episode but labeled as the first? Anyway, hosts Bryan and Nick talk video games, specifically DEAD SPACE.
Hey guys! This week we’re joined by special guest Lawrence Thunell to talk MOONLIGHT from director Barry Jenkins. This is also the last week before we go on a month hiatus. Don’t worry, though! We’ve got some fun episodes planned during this time, which we’ll talk about more at the end of this episode. There’s a lot here and we get into some good stuff about the movie so you won’t want to miss it!
Loosen those vocal chords and get your dancing shoes ready because we’re talking about Damien Chazelle’s LA LA LAND, starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. First-time guest Mike Nayyar joins us to go over what works, what doesn’t, and how the hype surrounding this movie got completely out of control. You won’t want to miss this week’s episode!
In space, no one can hear you podcast! That’s right, this week we’re battling it out for best Alien film. The twist: we don’t get to pick which Alien film we’re defending. Elvis Kunesh joins us for this wild and wacky battle and has the difficult task of talking about Ridley Scott’s Alien. Bryan gets the honor of defending Alien 3, and Ryan finds himself at the mercy of Prometheus. Jonathan has to defend Alien Vs. Predator: Requiem, and boy does he try! Chewie provides judgement.
This week we’re joined by Thomas Ford to talk about the Tom Ford film NOCTURNAL ANIMALS, starring Amy Adams who at this point couldn’t give a bad performance if she wanted to. We gush over the impressive imagery and dive into what makes this film so special. There’s a lot to unpack here so don’t waste another minute and give the new episode a listen!
May the 4th be with you! We celebrate Star Wars Day by talking about Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and how it gave us all the feels. Emily Blake from Chick’s Who Script joins us to talk about what worked and what didn’t, all the while drinking blue milk of our own creation. If we were concerned about the standalone films before, Rogue One put us at ease. It’s a big episode this week so don’t waste another minute!
