The Vertical Viewing Podcast – Détails, épisodes et analyse

For September 30th, 2015, Tim, Red and Scott meet in the Nostromo Lounge and discuss the Netflix drama BLOODLINE starring Kyle Chandler and show favourite Ben Mendelssohn, Tom Hardy potentially taking up the pointy-haired mantle of Wolverine from current champ Hugh Jackman, the unparalleled precision and detail of Stanley Kubrick's pre-production research process in the fascinating documentary STANLEY KUBRICK'S BOXES, and much, much more before our featured throwback review of THE ADVENTURES OF BUCKAROO BANZAI ACROSS THE 8TH DIMENSION from director W.D. Richter.

So be sure to calibrate your Oscillation Overthruster, call up The Hong Kong Cavaliers, don't ever be mean, and let's see if we can prevent an interdimensional race war before we are all wiped out by the accidental nuclear holocaust.

For October 6th, 2015, Tim, Mike and Scott meet up in the Nostromo Lounge and discuss the practice of deliberately watching horrible films & TV shows while you are sick, newcomer Trevor Noah's first week at THE DAILY SHOW, Scott shares his thoughts on Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz in THE LOBSTER from the surreal and twisted brain of Yorgos Lanthimos, we take a moment to commemorate the belated 20 year anniversary of the coveted masterpiece HACKERS, and much, much more before our featured review of the highly anticipated SICARIO from our boy Denis Villeneuve and the legendary Roger Deakins.

So slide into your Splinter Cell sneak suit, and let's see if we can keep up with this speeding convoy of black GMC suburbans before we all get bagged up and stuffed into the walls of a suburban Arizona bungalow.
