300: Rise of an Empire (2014)

Whoops! Forgot to upload this... blaming it on having a bad case of TIFF fever. I will update this description soon!

UPDATE:

We're back in ancient Greek, following the epic CGI sea(?) battles of Themistocles and Eva Green. Whoever wins, we the audience lose. Just kidding, it's not that bad it's just not that good either. What expectations could you possibly have for the long-gap 300 sequel? 

The episode begins with a Ben rant about biking in Toronto. We also do our weekly movie round-up and talk about Caveh Zahedi again (we promise, he'll only come up 2 or 3 more times)

Join us next week for a new franchise with the debut film of Michael Bay: BAD BOYS. A 90s action classic that neither of your hosts have seen! Does it have all the maximalist bells and whistles of BAD BOYS II or other Bay films? No!
