Episode 125: A Series of Unfortunate Events on Mars

Hello all and welcome back to another episode of Sprecken ze Geek.  We're back after a very busy and fun weekend out at Salt Lake City Comic Con and we have some stories.  This episode we decide keep it lean on the news front and focus on our thoughts and experiences from SLCC as well as review this weeks theatrical release of The Martian and our last Cage Streaming review of The Frozen Ground.

This weeks streaming suggestion was the 4th and final movie in our month of Cage, The Frozen Ground.  Now this one was a surprise to both of us.  While Bat only watched half of it before it was pulled from Netflix, he was really digging what he did see of the movie.  I on the other hand just steam rolled through this thing.  It's based off of true events, which makes it honestly that much more terrifying.  The acting by Cage was pretty good but honestly its Cusack  who steals the show.  His portrayal of the main antagonist is truly unnerving.  The pacing and cinematography are all on point and it made for a damn good movie. Over all I was extremely pleased with it and gave it a 4/5.  Worth the watch, even if only once.

 

Next weeks streaming suggestion starts off our Month of Horror!  Dream House is our first entry, provided by one of our listeners Kristi.  This mind trip of a movie stars Daniel Craig as he fights between what's real and what's not.  Check out the trailer below for a better idea of what we're in for.
