Here we go again! After the stars align in our schedules, the Film Pigs return with a brand-new podcast! This time we’re talking a Hollywood staple: the Cop Movie.

This time, on a very special episode of The Film Pigs Podcast:

Podcast #30 – College Movies

2012 being the end times and all, the Film Pigs figured we should do at least one more full-on podcast before the apocalypse. Enjoy while you can the Film Pigs back to their regular shenanigans: Movie News guaranteed to be fresh within the last 336 hours, an in-depth discussion of College Movies, a legally-binding session of Movie Jail, line readings, cold readings, trivia, and more!

Podcast #26 – Movies About Movies

The Film Pigs are back for another podcast, following an endless series of post-Oscars parties (FYI, that little dog from The Artist has a terrible cocaine habit). This episode, we bring you up to date with the latest Movie News, including our final word on the Academy Awards. Then we jump into a brand-new segment highlighting favorite comments from our fans before we hit this episode’s theme: Movies About Movies. Plus all the usual fun stuff, including a highly personal Movie Jail where the expert witness is ONE OF THE FILM PIGS!

Commentary #42 – Die Hard 2 (1990)

Happy holidays, everyone! It’s a Christmas Miracle! The Film Pigs round out 2011 with a treat that’s sure to please everyone: a commentary for the marginally holiday-themed Bruce Willis classic, Die Hard 2! Or, as it’s known in the Philippines, the UK, and on USA video boxes – Die Hard 2: Die Harder. Because nothing says “we put minimal effort into thinking this whole thing through” like an uninspired subtitle.

PLEASE NOTE: you may wish to put the kids to bed before screening, unless you want to expose your precious little ones to William Sadler’s inexplicably naked Tai chi routine. You’ve been warned.

TO SYNC WITH MOVIE: Start this commentary 10 seconds after starting movie.

Here’s The Thing About THE MUPPETS

I liked the new Muppet movie THE MUPPETS. I enjoyed myself. I was glad to see the Muppets back on the big screen. I’m a child of the 70s, so Muppets are go-to nostalgia, an easy target. However, a few things bothered me about this latest entry: Continue reading Here’s The Thing About THE MUPPETS

Podcast #17 – Special Effects

We’re back! After a short hiatus, the Film Pigs return with a brand-new podcast talking about Special Effects in the movies. Plus, all of the usual fun stuff like News, the Nic Cage Memorial Bizarre Line Reading, Movie Jail, a Straight-To-DVD Corner with Tonn Slingdog, and a rousing game of Impressionivia that is in no way incorrectly scored.*

* The game of Impressionivia is scored incorrectly, which is why Skelton has a degree in theater and not, say, math.
