FED Talks

Episode 191 - Summer TV Preview

This week, EJ goes over the TV shows he's watching, and the upcoming stuff he's excited about. Duster! Poker Face!

Murderbot! The Four Seasons! Catching up on The Pitt! More!

 

Also, a quick look at the bonkers season finale of Daredevil: Born Again and spoiler-free Sinners talk! We've got it all, depending on your definition of "all". 

Episode 190 - I'm Asking You to Trust Me, One Last Time

This episode has it all! If by "all", you mean "Mission: Impossible trailer talk, some quick takes on recent TV, and a mental health check-in".  In the M:I rewatch, we hit Rogue Nation and welcome Ilsa Faust back into our lives, and our trek through the Daredevil Cinematic Universe gets to the actual Daredevil movie. EJ has thoughts!

Episode 189 - The Jason Statham Film Festival Post-Show

We wrap up the Jason Statham Film Festival with a brief look at A Working Man and conclude that watching 50 movies of wildly varying quality was a good use of time. Plus, there's some Severance Season 2 talk, the Mission: Impossible rewatch continues, and EJ begins the Daredevil Cinematic Universe with The Trial of the Incredible Hulk. What do we do next week without a Jason Statham movie? Who can say? It's a new world and we're not excited about it.

Episode 188 - The Jason Statham Film Festival: The Beekeeper

We're reaching the end of the Jason Statham Film Festival, so we're closing it out with our friend, and huge Statham fan, Gen to talk about The Beekeeper. Statham's biggest solo hit and an absolutely bonkers movie, we're geeking out over the movie and the man in general.  We also try to fit the Beekeeper into the Mission: Impossible universe and you know how awesome that would be. 

Episode 187 - Two Banes and an Open Mind

This week, we're catching up on movies and TV. Daffy Duck! Daisy Ridley! Daredevil! The Severance season finale! Deli Boys! Also, EJ's doing a Mission: Impossible rewatch and the Jason Statham Film Festival nears its end with Expend4bles, a movie that does not live up to its tagline.  But that tagline is "They'll Die When They're Dead", and no movie lives up to that.

Episode 186 - Moe'z Tavern and other San Francisco Fun

EJ's back from vacation, so that means it's time for a trip report! Family and friends! Ant-Man! Acrobats! Pinball! An unlicensed Simpsons-themed bar! He had a great time and he's bursting to talk about it!

 

We'll talk about TV and movies next week, we promise!

Episode 185 - No Clear Title Emerges

This week we talk about a couple of celebrity deaths and EJ commits to trying to watch Twin Peaks. He talks about seeing a TIm Heidecker show for free and the absolutely wild new origin for animated Spider-Man. The Jason Statham Film Festival speeds toward its conclusion with Meg 2: The Trench, a movie covered on this show in its initial release. That's right, we've talked about Meg 2 twice. We'll probably talk about it again sometime. Don't test us! We're not bluffing!

Episode 184 - Facts About My Outie

This week, EJ is excited about Severance and appalled by Saturday Night Live. He's also pretty darn pleased with Captain America: Brave New World and hates that so many nerds are right-wing. In the Franchise Report, John Wick 4 might be the best movie, and over at the Jason Statham Film Festival, find out where Fast X ranks in the overall Statham filmography. (Hint: Low. Think In the Name of the King and then go down several spots.)

Episode 183 - The Jason Statham Film Festival - Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre with Zach Dirksen

Zach Dirksen (Fool's Gold Variety Hour) joins us to talk about 2023's overlooked Jason Statham movie Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre.  It's a weird movie that nobody noticed, but it's super fun, even if you want it to just generally be better. We also talk about Daredevil and Blank Check more than you might expect. Or exactly as much as you'd expect, given how things usually go around here.

Episode 182 - Vin Diesel's Instagram

This week, we're dealing with Vin Diesel's absolutely bonkers social media post about how Fast X Part 2 will heal Los Angeles, and then the Jason Statham Film Festival takes a look at F9: The Fast Saga. This episode is largely about being disappointed in Vin Diesel.
