It's 2013 and the lines between mainstream independent films and studio films is as blurred as can be. We're not talking so much about the films that get made by the thousands of truly amateur filmmakers around the world but those deemed independent by not only the media but us viewers. Sony Pictures Classics, Focus Features, Warner Independent - c…

Kai is joined once again by his partner Dylan (live on location from his cricket breeding farm) to bring you another episode of FDH. In this week's episode we delve into the REWATCHABILITY FACTOR. No, that's not a new show hosted by Ryan Seacrest. Though, I'm sure it will be any day now. What we address this week is what drives someone to rewatch a…

We butchered Bond history last time out, so why not give the same treatment to horror films now? Actually, it's not that bad, as Kai has plenty of horror street cred; in fact, it's Dylan's lack thereof that Kai mostly wanted to speak about (though we're both pretty lacking when it comes to vintage horror flicks). So we delve into our childhoods to …

So why are we doing a James Bond-centric episode a year after Skyfall and probably a good two years before the next entry in the series? Well, mostly because we can. But also because this is a "Dylan" episode and because I've been watching them, in order. So I got a bug up my ass to talk to Kai about the series. And so we did. We go through our his…

In the latest episode of FDH, Kai and Dylan discuss the future of the movie watching experience and discuss the hard hitting questions this brings up like... - Is theater dead? (So existential!) - How will we watch movies going forward in the 21st century? (VOD or Brain Implants?) - Will Spielberg's dark predictions for the future of movies come tr…

What makes a great action film? Especially, what makes a great one in the 25 years since Die Hard, which is widely regarded as the quintessential action film, which spawned countless ripoffs, which has become the one against which most modern action films have been judged? Those were the questions the folks at Vulture attempted to answer a few mont…

I would love to tell you what this episode is about but, frankly, I haven't got the slightest idea. It started out as a discussion on favorite movie settings before quickly devolving into personal rants and expectations of film. This is clearly a week where Dylan picked the topic. Sure, both Dylan and Kai has their sights set on their trip to Vegas…

It's 2013, and all the biggest films are based on comic books. The top sitcom of the last half-decade features nerdy scientist types as leads...and it's not about them being bullied. A certain convention set in Southern California dominates pop culture for a week every year, and has spawned a million wannabe conventions all around the country. Peop…

I don't know if we've made it clear enough, what with each of us hosting our own podcasts, but Kai and I both dig podcasting. Also, having started this site after becoming friends, we dig each other. So, it's only natural that we wanted to do a podcast together (again, especially after having started this site). Problem was, see the first sentence …
