Episode 140 - A Phoenix, a Frog, and a Bismarck

Welcome ladies and gentlemen to episode 140 of the Epic Film Guys podcast!! In this week's episode, get a full rundown of the lineup for the Livestream for the Cure later in the episode and at the top of the episode we discuss the contest for all of our shows taking part in featured programming blocks. The show that raises the most money in 1/2 hour block will win an EFG prize pack!

We've also got some discussion about the new Terminator film, which has found its Terminator, but we're cautious about them plowing ahead with this film. Justin checks into segment two with a solo review of You Were Never Really Here starring Joaquin Phoenix! Nick is allergic to movie theaters this week so the film portion of the show is pretty quick, but we did record a second minisode for Marvel Phase Two that'll drop Monday, 04/23!

Also, stick around for the end of the show after the credits for a huge blooper reel featuring clips from Wayne of The Countdown, LoySauce, Tom Coe, Emily, and many more friends of the show from some old and new outtake clips! Thank you so much 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.
