Episode 122 - Ha Ha Ha. What a Movie, James Franco!

Oh hai listener! You here for podcast about real Hollywood movie! Welcome one and all to another episode of the Epic Film Guys podcast as we wind down 2017, and my god do we have a treat for you. Justin and I checked out the latest from James Franco in The Disaster Artist, which sees him step into the massive character of Tommy Wiseau and he tells the story of the making of one of the worst movies of all time, The Room. This movie blew us both away, and we're here with a FULL review!

Also this week, Epic Previews returns with two trailer reviews... first up, we look at the brand new trailer for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, and then we look at the first full trailer for Spielberg's Ready Player One. Let's just say one of the guys was extremely disinterested in both (spoiler alert, it was me). As part of this episode we also recorded a piece about the 75th Golden Globe Awards... check it out at http://epicfilmguys.podbean.com/e/minisode-018! You can also check out my written review of The Disaster Artist here: https://epicfilmguys.wordpress.com/2017/12/13/the-disaster-artist-a-beautiful-inspirational-tribute/.

Next week on the show, Paul and Wayne from The Countdown return to help us give a full review of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Thank you for listening! We'll see you at the movies!

Friends of the Show

We'd like to give a huge shout-out for a lot of the shows we're proud to call friends, and that we're proud to call ourselves fans of. We especially have to thank our brothers in Perth, Paul & Wayne of The Countdown Movie & TV reviews, who have opened us up to a huge audience halfway across the world. Particular thanks to Paul who has been an amazing friend and has been infinitely helpful in terms of getting honest feedback on the evolution of the show. A huge thank you to Emily from The Story Behind podcast, whose support and friendship have kept this show alive through some of its darkest days. A huge thank you to some of our biggest podcasting friends, from Mr. X at the Angry Old Man, Shane from Now That I'm Older, David from The Unwritable Rant, Adam from Everyone Has a Podcast, Ro from the World of Ro, the entire crew at Afterburn 739, Mat at the One Word, Go! show, Justin from So I Married a Movie Geek, and Deana from the Twisted Philly podcast. We're probably forgetting someone, so thank you to ALL of you! We truly do love and appreciate your support.

We also have to give a huge shout out to #PodernFamily for helping to increase our exposure, and safe to say without it we wouldn't have met a lot of the podcasters and fans we're proud to call friends. We also want to give a huge shout out to the #MoviePodSquad, a group of movie podcasters in the #PodernFamily who have come together for our mutual love of film.
