Podcast #9 – Chick Flicks
It’s our 9th podcast! [ LAME BEATLES JOKE REDACTED ] This episode, the Film Pigs go out on a limb and into the unfamiliar territory known as Chick Flicks.

Plus, Movie Jail, bizarre line readings, Tonn Slingdog’s Straight To DVD Corner, a high stakes pitch meeting, and more!

Tonn Slingdog Remembers the Franchises, Part 5: Anaconda(s)

THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL: I saw this one, the first one, because I don’t think I had anything better to do, and I was in the mood for a big-budget studio train wreck. I was happily surprised when I was amused both by Depp’s hilarious character and the rather engaging and imaginative action sequences. Low expectations go a long way!
