So The Nez is off to NYCC, The New York Comic Con so we won't be recording a pod this week. I might record a solo one, but this gives me the chance to write about the pod here right quick. Been meaning to since The Nez invited me to join the cast.

You can find it on itunes at  itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-mac-nez-podcast/id1118732523?mt=2

or search for SK8ER NEZ Podcast Network

You can also listen at  http://macnezpodcast.podbean.com/ If you access the pod on this page you can listen to both the Mac Nez podcast as well as our E Society pods right on the page.

We've recorded pods on The Rogue One trailer, The Get Down, Fall TV. The Nez often records on his favorite horror movies and recently recorded a pod on Judge Dredd. Check em out.

Since we aren't recording this week i thought i'd drop a little here on a few topics that we'll get into next time we record.

This last Friday, September 30th, was Rogue Friday. The first collectibles and merch from Rogue One hit. Picked up items from the Black Series, Basic figure line, and Funko Pop.

 Baze and Chirrut teamup. 2 of the new Rogue One Pops. One of the many posts you'll see over on my instagram. We'll get into our Force Friday experiences as well next pod.

Recently checked out a doc on netflix. Sneakerheadz. I've dabbled in sneaker collecting, but with the Star Wars colection my main focus, I usually just keep up with posts and not really a ton of sneaker buying. My 2 most recent pairs, from a couple years ago some custom KD's with Warriors colors(It's like I could see it coming:) Anyways it was kind of cool to watch this doc and see some of the things i've seen on the net as far as collectors and these limited releases. Always interesting explaining it to friends and family who can't wrap their heads around it.



So yeah while I don't partake as much as i maybe would if funds weren't an issue, this is something i could totally relate to. If not with shoes, on a collecting level. It was at the top of the list of trending or popular films on netflix so it should be pretty easy to find. I know Nez follows skateboarding and they get into a little bit of it's influence. Check it out it your intrigued. :)

Oh and speaking of sneakers. Nike is releasing another 89 pairs of Nike Mags. The back to the future shoe. "In partnership with the Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF), Nike will provide everyone an opportunity to win one of the only pairs of the adaptive-lacing Nike Mag. In total, there are fewer than 100 pairs available globally through The Draw, which begins today, October 4, and ends October 11, 2016. The winners will be notified on October 17, 2016." https://www.nike.com/snkrs/thread/6b50313850e6afcf3e587b474265acb9588efc55

Yeah it's a long shot to win, but hey $10 and 100% of the proceeds will go to the MJFF to help find a cure for Parkinson’s. So that's cool, worth a shot. If you did win they would be awesome to have, but at the same time you could probably get a pretty insane price for em so they might be hard to hold on to. Take some pics with em first. :)

We recently recorded a fall tv preview where I talked about loving the new tv show Atlanta. So good. If you haven't checked it out i highly recommend it.



A clip from not only my favorite episode, but probably my favorite episode of tv this year. Ep 4. The Streisand Effect. Check it out :)

Westworld premiered this last Sunday night.

We'll definitely get into this show on the pod. Some interesting things going on. I know Hbo wants this to be their new Thrones. It may not be that, but a lot to figure out.

Luke Cage went up on netflix on Rogue Friday also. After 2 seasons of Daredevil and Jessica Jones, the 3rd Defender is here.

The Nez rolled through the season quick. I'm 5 episodes in. I really like what I've seen so far. The Gang starr titled episodes. Use of Hip Hop. Cage's take on what Daredevil did with a hallway fight. I'm sure i'll finish the season before next week when we record, so i'm sure we'll talk about Cage as well. :)

We'll also get into a fall movie preview. We don't plan to talk about every movie. Just a handful. We've already past September so some of them are out like Magnificent Seven which is only film I went to see in theaters during September. Going to see The Girl on the Train this weekend.



Definitely gonna be talking more about Rogue One. And more Fall movies.

So yeah not sure how many of these writes up i'll do but definitely check out the pod. We'll be talking about all this stuff.

The Nez will be checking in with a few mini casts on what he's sees at NYCC so check that out too.

Where the Wild Things Are

Seen Where The Wild Things are! :) Just as awesome as I was hoping for :)

Turning a beloved children's book into a film is not a task to be taken lightly. The discount DVD bin is full of adaptations gone wrong (we're looking at you, "The Cat in the Hat"). Fortunately, if critics are to be believed, the makers of "Where the Wild Things Are" have dodged those problems and are releasing something "profoundly beautiful and affecting."

That's how Entertainment Weekly's Lisa Schwarzbaum sums up her thoughts on the highly anticipated Spike Jonze feature. Ms. Schwarzbaum gives the film an "A" and notes that "whatever the (well-documented) struggles it took to create this gem, the result is worth every monster growl."

EW is hardly the only outlet to shovel on the superlatives. Filmcritic.com, a part of AMC, calls the film "absolutely amazing, as scary and beautiful as being a kid all over again." Awarding the movie 5 out of 5 stars, writer Bill Gibron goes on to state that Spike Jonze's adaptation "is an achievement of true artistic wonder and epic imagination."

Famed film critic Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times was a bit more stingy with the praise, but still awarded the film three out of four stars. Quoth the Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist: "The film will play better for older audiences remembering a much-loved book from childhood, and not as well with kids who have been trained on slam-bam action animation."

Mr. Ebert raises an interesting point: Unlike other adaptations like "Curious George," the makers of "Where the Wild Things Are" didn't go the G-rated route. The film's trailer, for example, features a track from alt-rock heavyweights Arcade Fire. And the official soundtrack is handled, for the most part, by Karen O, lead singer for the equally hip Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Web searches on the film are also dominated by young adults. Less than 7% of the searches are from kids 13 and under.

While the film is garnering mostly positive reviews, not everyone is buying into Spike Jonze's vision. The Hollywood Reporter's Kirk Honeycutt calls the film "uninvolving" and notes that "adults are likely to grow weary of the repetitiveness." Another rough notice came from David Denby of The New Yorker, who complains that the monsters are anything but wild. On the contrary, Denby feels they bicker and seem "defeated."
Where the Wild Things Are

Among the film's stars, child actor Max Records is getting positive reviews, as is Catherine Keener, who plays his exasperated mom. James Gandolfini, Lauren Ambrose, and Forest Whitaker lent their vocal talents to the "Wild Things." For the creatures, Jonze originally intended for them to be created using only performers in suits. But the mechanics for moving their facial features were too heavy to support, so they were removed and the Wild Things' expressions were enhanced later by digital effects.

Of course, the movie wouldn't exist if not were not for Maurice Sendak's book. Critics note that the book will continue to stand on its own as an absolute classic, despite the film's likely success.

For more on the creative process that went into translating the book into film, check out this Newsweek interview with Sendak, Jonze, and cowriter Dave Eggers. It wasn't always easy, but the final results look to be well worth the effort. But parents should take note: As one critic puts it, this is a movie about a child, but it's not a children's movie.

The Trailer for 'The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus'

District 9 In Theaters Review from SDCC

I want to see it again. I really didn't know what to expect when seeing the world premiere at san diego. This is pretty much the best movie this year. Right up there with my favorites now.



Here's the clip i wrote in my SDCC report

On Thursday night we were lucky enough to be the first to see the world premiere, no hollywood premiere, of District 9. Peter Jackson was there to introduce the first time director Neill Blomkamp and actor Sharlto Copley. I read a article on the way down to the con on how it was the halo movie, it wasn’t but it really was amazing. Best Sci-fi movie i’ve seen in a long time. Has a Little feel of the office/cloverfield/alien nation. It really is great though. I plan to see it again in theaters. I got to meet Elijah Wood and Dominic Monaghan who were there as well for the screening. I told Dominic it would be great to see him on LOST again, and he said you never know. Then later at the LOST Panel he showed up. ha!

G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra Movie Review

Go Joe! :p Headed out to see the film now. :)

Interesting that they wanted to avoid bad reviews so they didn’t show at SDCC or to critics. probably for the best. I’m thinking just a fun mindless summer movie. :)

REVIEW good movie :) I really don’t think they could do any better then what they did. It probably was for the best they avoided the reviews, it would of gotten similar reviews to transformers 2. I liked both films, but i think i like Joe a touch more. A fun film for sure. They did good keeping the action going.

Spoiler’ish talk I had seen the look of cobra commander, so it wasn’t really a let down. I don’t like it, but i can see how it works, hopefully if they do another they will go to the classic hood or helmet. Killing off cover girl was a bit surprising, but again i guess someone has to go. Speaking of, I can’t believe they decided to kill off storm shadow. Sure they could find a excuse to bring him back chemically, or robotic like. I would of preferred to see him escape. Also baroness turning from bad to good. :/ eh. it was done ok, but she’s one of the coolest bad guys. For a sequel they would be without baroness and storm shadow unless the make up some excuse. I thought it was great how much they kept a good amount of characters in the story. I didn’t expect heavy duty and breaker to get as much screen time. Glad they did though. So yeah i thought it was great :)

2nd Version New G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Trailer

A little different from the super bowl trailer. I'm pretty hyped for this one.

Fear[s] of the dark / Peur[s] Du Noir
