Episode 159 - To Love or Hate the Anti-Hero

As the immensely popular cable sensation Breaking Bad draws to a close, the GFR team of Carlos, Tony and Steve V. tackle the question of what makes the anti-hero so popular, and for that matter what exactly is an anti-hero? We'll discuss pop culture icons like Tony Soprano, Vic Mackey, the aforementioned Mr. White and (just to put a genre spin on it) Mr. Gold from Once Upon a Time. Do we love these characters because they live in the grey areas that so many of us dwell in?

Remembering the Alamo - by Steve Vivona

I don't know about the rest of you, but as I've gotten older I've hated the movie going experience more and more. That really sucks because I love films. I love watching them, analyzing them, arguing about them and sharing the experience with my friends.

Over the last two decades, the prevalence of cell phones and the general decline in polite human behavior has made going to the movies an experience that at best, could be considered a necessary evil for me. There are just certain movies that cry out to be seen on the big screen with door busting sound and the ultra high resolution only film can provide.
