9to5 Entertainment System (9es)

The moment you've been waiting for all year has finally arrived, here they are, your winners of the Fantasia 9to5sies! The post The Second Annual Fantasia 9to5sies! appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc).

Note: The 9to5 crew in no way endorses dropping babies on their heads. Our feelings about sexual violence in fiction, advertising to children and sexism in comics are much more blurred. We talk about all of those things and more in this week's episode of the 9to5 Entertainment System. Yeah, I realize that we talk about some gender charged issues while our resident Sophie is not on the episode and that might seem slightly suspect. It's not, I assure you.

So we didn't quite get to the same number of films as we did last year, but hey, we had more written reviews this year (not to mention our interview with Lloyd Kaufman and upcoming interview with Kane Hodder) so deal with it. It was closing night so I checked out the big closing film of Fantasia Edgar Wright's The World's End and Jono went the indie route and watched Mexican slow paced zombie drama Halley, which just so happened to have a short film called My Pain is Worse Than Your Pain before it that Jon also seemed to enjoy. Listen now for all our thoughts. The post 9to5 Goes to Fantasia 11: The World’s End and Halley appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc).

What we've got here is probably the second to last in our Fantasia review series of podcasts, we're gonna try to whip up another edition of the 9to5sies by the weekend, but we're almost all done here. Tonight's episode takes us to the latest entry in the Chucky series along with a 85 minute Nightwish music video. Listen to see what we thought of those two things.

Walter J. Lyng, who you might know from that OTHER podcast joins us to talk about two standout films coming from deep in the "B" category of cinema. 1989's terribad action blockbuster Samurai Cop and the latest offering from Troma Films (and the fourth film in the Nuke Em High series) Return to Nuke Em High. The post 9to5 Goes to Fantasia 9: Samurai Cop and Return to Nuke Em High Vol 1 appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc).

I got together with Sophie and watched After School Midnighters while Jon decided he wanted to give a second opinion to Scott's take on the film Vessel. What did we think about them? Listen now! The post 9to5 Goes to Fantasia 8: After School Midnighters and Vessel appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc).

Due to some sort of technical tomfoolery, the little intro ramble was lost to the sands of the internet. Which is a real loss since Sophie said “Russia is being homo about the gays” which, in my opinion, is comedic[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

So Jon and I both watched Rewind This and then I stuck around da Seve for The Dirties (which we give yet another glowing shout out to) and Jon huffed over to The Imperial to watch Bobcat Goldthwait's found footage sasquatch horror film Willow Creek. We 're about to get Fantasia'd up in this bee-yotch. The post 9to5 Goes to Fantasia 7: Rewind This and Willow Creek appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc).

We're hitting our stride here at 9to5 (dot cc) as keep going to see movies at what has so far been an incredible edition of the Fantasia Festival. Today, Jon and I talk about the social networking horror thriller Antisocial and Danny Trejo kicking some serious zombie ass in Zombie Hunter. The post 9to5 Goes to Fantasia 6: Antisocial and Zombie Hunter appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc).

What’s on the show tonight? Is it a film about an obsessives terrifying (and also Mormon) man who falls for a recently separated woman and a movie about a brilliant but trouble scientist who happens to create a sophisticated AI[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Jon and Keith again tackle two wildy different films with Go Down Death and OXV: The Manual. Go Down Death is a black and white tribute film to the strange absurd film making of yesteryear and OXV is a mathematical, philosophical romance story about measurable luck. These sure do sound like Fantasia Festival films don't they? They sure do! The post 9to5 Goes to Fantasia 4: Go Down Death and OXV: The Manual appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc).

For the third episode of our ongoing Fantasia series Jon and Keith saw two wildly different films. Described (by Jon and Keith) as a "kilometer long and high obsidian wall" and "a buddy comedy with zombies that gets dark" respectively, Thanatomorphose and The Battery are both prime examples of what makes a festival like Fantasia great. Did we like them? Listen now! The post 9to5 Goes to Fantasia: Thanatomorphose and The Battery appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc).

So The Dirties is a little film that is shot in the way a bunch of kids filming their own movie. The twist is that it becomes about planning a school shooting, the other twist is that it's a comedy. The other twist (ok, this isn't a twist in the film) is that it was picked up as part of Kevin Smith's Film Club and is getting a much larger release as a result. Did we like it? Spoilers, we did.

We're four days into the festival and we're back! We hit the ground running watching indie psychological thriller The Dead Experiment and the follow up to one of the more talked about films of last year's Fantasia V/H/S 2! How did the fare? Listen now to Fantasia veterans Keith and Jon talk about these two films. The post 9to5 Goes to Fantasia 2013: The Dead Experiment and V/H/S 2 appeared first on 9to5 (dot cc).

And saying “No! Bad perverts! BAD!”. As a public service the news team at new channel 9ES has really gone and done their homework on this one. We talk about our privacy, government and stabbings and of course Superman. But[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

Yeah, nobody ever says that in the episode, and yeah that's the old episode image down there but guess what? I'm in a rush and nobody reads this stuff anyways. You're all too busy with your podcatching software and twitter feeds to give a shit about what I'm writing here and now. You know what? Fine. It's settled. Just listen to the damn episode.

Man, the second "L" in "Malcolm" is pretty tricky. It looks wrong with it and it looks wrong without out, what's a boy to do? Here it is, a day late but a dollar off (a dollar off free is still free). New 9ES! We talk an awful lot about movies in this episode so enjoy that.

Don't spoil it for yourself, the answers lies within. Within this podcast. Seriously though, this podcast is mostly about the XBox One (1? Uno?) and then it gets zany towards the end. We talk a lot about the future of gaming in a dystopian DRM controlled future and then we talk about scissoring. What's not to love? Also there's a magic sound effect in the middle of the podcast where our recording just stopped and we had to start up again. It's groovy.

You might wonder why sometimes we’re a little with posts. Sometimes the comic is late, sometimes the podcast is late, sometimes we say we’re going to post something and it takes a long time to come out (or never does[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...

The title of this podcast is seriously Sophie’s description of a metal band. This is going to be the most half assed post ever for a podcast since it’s midnight, I’m on like 4 or 5 hours of sleep and[…]↓ Read the rest of this entry...
