I Have Some Notes

It's our season finale! And what a doozy we have as we crunch the numbers and calculate how best to correct the 4th Indiana Jones film. Yes, the one with aliens. It's like Close Encounters of Third Kind and George Lucas had a baby, and Steven Spielberg was left to raise the child on his own. Our guests for the season wrap-up are two noted nerds, comic store owners Danica LeBlanc and Brandon Schatz from Variant Edition. Together we try to solve the essential question…why are there gophers in this movie? Well, that and a few other questions, mostly surrounding what the heck anyone was doing ever. Also, Gregg spends a great deal of time defending Shia LaBeouf. Huge thanks to everyone who made our first season a success! Thanks so much for listening, we'll see you again in the fall.

Prometheus is a very divisive movie. Some fans triumph its beauty, world building and willingness to tackle some big themes. Others bemoan its confusing script and the high rate of baffling decisions made by its main characters. In other words, it was a movie made for this podcast! Scott C. Bourgeois, formerly of The Unknown Studio fame, joins us along with returning guest Erin Beever to unravel this confounding sci-fi masterpiece. We jump into the Med-Pod and perform abdominal surgery on Prometheus, pulling out all its entrails and then trying in vain to put everything back better than when we found it.

Have you every had the burning desire to listen to four 30-somethings sing the theme to 80s television sensation, The A-Team, over and over and over again? Well, you're in luck, because episode five of I HAVE SOME NOTES has arrived! Sally Poulsen and Jeff Samsonow of the Edmonton Media Co. stop by to discuss the remake to end all remakes (not really), the 2010 hit film ("hit" should have quotation marks) THE A-TEAM. Grab your phone, jam those headphones in your ears and transport yourself to a world where tanks fly and the rules of physics only exist to be broken. How will we fix this one? Hit play to find out.

We ain't afraid of no ghosts, particularly because this movie didn't have a whole lot of them. Did have a lot of slime, though. Andrea Beca and Lauren Dary from the podcast That's So Maven stop by to breakdown, analyze and ultimately fix 1989's Ghostbusters II. We chat about our dislike for dancing toasters, our desire for more scares and the ways in which the movie's score made our ears sad. Oh, and the topic of Ghostbusters 2016 comes up, though we can't imagine why. Nothing to talk about there, right?

Welcome to the Genisys…of a new episode of I Have Some Notes. This week we look at the time-travel-palooza that is Terminator: Sega Genisys. Our guests this week are the avowed Terminator fan Evan Adnams and the wonderful Erin Beever. Together we explore the plight of the working class Terminator, murder fences, Etch-a-Sketch monsters and so much more. As always, if you have any notes for us, leave them in the comments or Tweet us (@ihavesomenotes) or catch us on Facebook.

Time is the fire in which we burn…for our second episode of I Have Some Notes! In episode 2 we take on the wonderfully flawed Star Trek: Generations, a movie that disappointed a generations of Trek fans. Good news Trekkies, we're hear to help fix this film with two amazing guests in Samantha Power and Adam Rozenhart from CJSR's All Intensive Purposes! We review in what way Generations was compared to 2001: A Space Odyssey, why the movie needs more Duras sisters, and whether Kirk's dynamite breakfast recipe can really smooth over dumping your girlfriend or boyfriend.

Welcome to the first episode of I Have Some Notes, the podcast that attempts to fix flawed, but salvageable films. This month's episode examines Zach Synder's Man of Steel. Host Colin MacIntyre and co-host Gregg Beever are joined by Edmonton entertainment news magnate Jay Runham and the heir to the Cornish Throne, Mark Jowett. The foursome discuss where Man of Steel went wrong (somewhere around "I've had a child Zod, a boy child"), share notes on how to fix it and ruminate on an alternative cast. Thanks for listening!
