I Have Some Notes

The wait is over. I Have Some Notes is back for its 3rd season of movie improving and we're returning with a series of firsts for the show. The first first is our first Bond film: Moonraker. Yes, the Bond movie that never heard the phrase "less is more." Italian murder caskets? Sure. Super boats? Two please. Space? You bet your ass! Second on the list of firsts is no Colin. Mr. MacIntyre is off being a new daddy and will miss a few episodes, but the talented Scott C. Bourgeois has volunteered to sit in his chair and keep it warm. The last, but probably most important first is that this is our first episode as a member of the Alberta Podcast Network powered by ATB Financial. We're stoked to be joining the Network and its fleet of amazing shows sailing through the digital airwaves. Big thanks to Karen Unland for all her hard work putting the network together and helping to make our passion project more sustainable. Alright, enough preamble. Please join Scott, Gregg, Anita and the hilarious Liam Creswick in fixing James Bond: The Moonrakening!

It's the season finalé of I Have Some Notes! Don't worry, we're not leaving you for the summer without giving you something a little something extra special, we're fixing Tom Cruise's The Mummy! Okay, okay, so that in and of itself is not particularly special. What is special is that this time Colin, Gregg, Scott and Mark tried to fix the film IMMEDIATELY after watching it in the theatre. No note taking, no chewing on the film for a few days, no deep movie meditation, no nothing! It's all strictly off the cuff for our season finalé. We hope you enjoy it, and we'll see you again soon in the fall.

The dino park is open! The exhibits are amazing, the patrons are having a great time and everything seems like its going great when doggonit! Another dinosaur escapes in a surprisingly stupid way. Well, shoot, we better get Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard to wrangle up those rascals. Join Colin, Gregg, Scott and Anita as they try to refinish a movie that basically made all the money. But, hey, what do audiences know, right?

Well, dear listener, get ready to have your loyalty rewarded with BETTER THAN AVERAGE SOUND*! Oh, and we also talk about Wonder Woman n'stuff. *Sound quality not guaranteed, may not be available in your area, check with your doctor to see if Sound Quality is right for you.

This month we're wading into the rebellious waters of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. A controversial pick, to be sure, a lot of you love this movie, but that doesn't mean we can tighten the screws a little bit. Plus comedian Liam Creswick joins the cast, and that alone is worth the price of admission. The price is free, by the way, cause we're a podcast. Making money in radio is for chumps! Where was I? Oh yes, the Star War. We examine the which candy the pips on Tarkin's uniform most resemble, lament the missed opportunity that was Saw Gerrera and quibble about the inclusion of past princesses. Enjoy!

Comedian Liam Creswick joins the cast as we discuss what we've been watching this past month, telling Marvel to please just say f**k or don't in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. Gregg asks that you repeatedly watch the fantastic reboot of Mystery Science Theatre 3000 so Netflix will pick it up for a second season. The Void is Scott's choice for a horror movie that has that Thing thing, and Anita recommends singing along with…Sing! A Dreamworks animated feature starring Matthew McConaughey. Our next full episode will be out May 22nd, when we take on a rebellious little flick called ROGUE ONE: A STAR WARS STORY.

Okay, you're Chris Pratt, you've accidentally woken from stasis on an interstellar cruise ship bound for a planet 90 years away and you'll die of old age before it ever arrives. Faced with unending loneliness do you: a) attempt to repair your stasis pod, b) play Dance, Dance Revolution for 60 years, c) stalk and then kidnap Jennifer Lawerence by awakening her from her stasis tube, dooming her to your own sorry fate in the process. Well, my friends, the choice is surprisingly clear in Columbia Pictures' PASSENGERS. Colin and Gregg are joined by the Bourgeois's to fix this highly fixable movie.

Our podcast foursome are back with more fantastic movie and TV recommendation, the fantastic four…you might call them. In this month's edition Gregg laments cueing up Josh Trank's super hero mess; Scott insists everyone immediately watch John Wick & John Wick: Chapter 2 if they have not done so already; Colin finds the pitch is far from perfect in Pitch Perfect 2, and guest Anita C. Bourgeois tells us about librarians. Following that we a chat about floppity-flop Ghost in the Shell, in which four whitey-white people from white-ville have a discussion about white-washing, for whatever it's worth.

Of the many praises we can shower on the Alien movies, Alien 3 is certainly the one with the highest shaved head count. Colin and Gregg are joined by now I Have Some Notes regulars Scott C. Bourgeois and Erin Beever talk about the thirdest movie in the Alien series. They discuss the plight of young up-and-coming directors; Ripley boning down with Tywin Lannister; saving Newt and Corporal Hicks, smelty smazes and turning Alien into a heist movie.

We're back, and it's time to talk about movies and other junk! Colin and Gregg chat with Scott C. Bourgeois and Erin Beever about what they've been watching over the last month. They crew hits on The Expanse, Leverage, Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, Moana, The Lego Batman Movie and Mass Effect: Andromeda.
