GOD'S FAVORITE PODCAST - Episode Five -
An Evening at the Movies
An Evening at the Movies
God's Favorite Podcast takes a little lesson from Darwin and evolves a bit. This is a significantly longer episode than any of the previous ones. However, it's also a bit more organized. We also include a new segment called God's Favorite Moment.
Also, because of our new hosting at THI, we're able to offer those of you with iTunes the AAC version of the show. This version is enhanced with chapters that allow you to skip portions of the podcast, or simply pick up where you left off if you don't have the full hour to listen.
Thanks for listening, and we always appreciate comments!

Hey guys! I'm from PGC, so when I heard that Evan was here I couldn't resist! Here was the headline on our forums: Evan Has Bad Taste In Movies: A Radio Production
I'm a Christian bale fan, and I'll admit that I didn't see anything special at all about Batman Begins. *shrug* I guess you're expectations would've had to have been lowered by one...two... horrible batman movies to see this as the second coming of Bruce Wayne.
When it comes to Batman, Tim Burton and Michael Keaton > All
Listening now...
Bourne Supremacy was AWESOME!!! It WAS a modern male action masterpiece, you're so awesome!
OMG... this is so cool... omg...I need to buy this movie now...
You tell 'em Evan! Who are these guys? Haven't they gone to Film Lit class?
Taxi Driver was cool... hmmm. haven't seen Raging Bull... should I put it on my Netflix?
...LOL...
urgh, I would also call Gangs of New York a Mess, but I wouldn't call it a beautiful one at all.
hmmm.... I saw Gosford Park but...what did I miss?
Oh, Evan! Yay! Just because a movie doesn't appeal to us personally doesn't mean it isn't good, it just means we can't love it! And vice versa!
Ooh! Diss Fight Club! It was an okay movie, but... yeah!
... bah, getting bored...
WHAT?!?! You're a Star Trek fan? ARRRRGHHH DIE DIE DIE! STOP JUSTIFYING IT! SAAARRRGGGHHHH!!!! ARRRRGGGHHH!!! The movies are BAD, not THIS SIDE of bad! ARARGDHBKJQ NSbKFMWn jkDNwhnNkjjIKFAMhfmDa...
I can watch the Star Trek movies and they don't suck... but they're NOWHERE near anything "this side of good."
Hmm...Elephant added to Netflix now.
mmmm... wax poetic Evan! You're awesome! We are always analyzing movies and their grammar and context and content and meaning as we watch them.... ah, but that's right. You can't expect everyone to be able to drink bitter medicine and then take the time to break down its flavor structure. For something to first be of worth to a human being, it must first convince that human being of its usefulness. We can't discount the value of entertainment: we're engineered to be fascinated with things that are important to our lives, especially with movies.
Being entertained is nature's way of telling us to pay attention when our lives aren't in danger.
OOH! Alfondo Cuaron! Added...
Bah, saw Fearless... eh... it was ok. I get the whole "let's make a constructive martial arts movie" thing, but it didn't really catch me.
HAHAHAHA! BATMAN BEGINS! TEAR IT DOWN EVAN! OMG...you're so right! There really was something off about that movie... I enjoyed it being a Christian Bale fan, but aside from that it was...eh...
WHAT? EVAN! You're not looking forward to Nightmare Before Christmas? I am CRY!
Eh, War of the World WAS sort of good, sort of eh, but it wasn't as bad as a normal action movie would've been... and yeah, that son should've been dead. AND Dakota Fanning WAS the most amazing thing in that movie that she's been in a long time.
*gasp* Cate Blanchett! Instant watch! Cate Blanchett is like... wow.
Hmm.. Sin City... yeah, Sin City was really laudable for its presentation, but the content there? Hmmm...nihilistic about its nihilism? Hmm....
Ah... M. Night Shyamalan... hehehe...what does Evan have to say? Hmm...haven't seen that many Hitchcock films really... I think I may see what you're saying in that Shyamalan takes formula and executes it, has decent twists, but hasn't shown anything really eternal...
Tim Burton.../cry He was so great... we need a new era of good Tim Burton.... And no Planet of the Apes! ARGH!
HUH? Explain to me how Match Point is a masterpiece??!?!?!
OOH! OOH! I have a request for the "Opinion on a Director!" TWO!
Strictly Ballroom's Baz Lurhmann... by the way you guys ROCK for playing the Credits theme "Bolero" from his Moulin Rouge. ROCK!
Aaaaaaand... Broadcast News' and As Good As It Gets' James L. Brooks?
Bah, I just want to suck your mind like the pustulent little blighter I am. You don't have to answer if you don't want to.

"Chuck Palanuik is from Oregon!"
Yes Evan, your state has a big penis.
Shit that comes out of my ass is a masterpiece has to be the best part of the podcast. Hmmm can I have a bottle of that Karl? J/K, but I did like the Podcast even though I am nowhere near as schooled on the technical know how of cinema. The conversation of Elephant was I think the most intriguing. I've never heard of it but the conversation was interesting. The interaction between the three of you make it even more amusing. Thanks guys! Keep it coming. P.S. Love you Stan! *hug* Renee
they just keep getting better and better each time, i cant wait to hear the next podcats, keep up the good work.
