Thanks for tuning in Subject:CINEMA, now beginning our SEVENTH Year of podcast fun.... THIS WEEK: We have never done a show like this before and hopefully we will never have to again. This week's show is a sometimes soul-wrenching look at the Aurora CO shootings that happened on 7/20/12. It is politically incorrect, and we're going to go at it in a no holds barred attitude, from the facts we know about the shootings and the people involved - shooter and victims - to our feelings about politicizing the event. Segment one is presented with no bumpers and may be offensive to some people in various ways - language, beliefs,political affiliations, etc. Be aware of the fact that when you listen to this, you are getting our raw feelings about what has transpired over the past 48 hours. LISTENER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.also, our full reviews of "BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD", "CAROL CHANNING: LARGER THAN LIFE" and the film everyone has been waiting for, "THE DARK KNIGHT RISES"   Check out Subject:CINEMA's b

Welcome to Subject:CINEMA MICRO Focus! Each week, hosts TC Kirkham and Kim Brown will take on a single film and analyze it front to back, side to side, and everything in-between! THIS WEEK: Two distinct films from one original film - the original Japanese film that created a new genre of film, and the American film that was "americanized" because studios thought no one would watch a film with a predominately Japanese cast so soon after World War II without something american to hold on to. People joke about them, but the originals - BOTH of them - are actually fine films, and we'll look at them one by one and then in comparison. This week, it's "Gojira" and it's American child, "Godzilla, King Of The Monsters" SCMF is part of the Popcorn N Roses family of shows, which includes our parent show, Subject:CINEMA, available every weekend at http://subjectcinema.com and  http://popcornnroses.com (and don’t worry, they go to the same site….)
