Take 2 + Podcast

Thank you to everyone who called into our Q & A call-in episode.

The entire telethon was a huge success and our sponsors made a lot of money. Rare are moments like these that remind us how blessed we really are.

The editors are the visual storytellers of a film. Why not, then, celebrate the editors?

THE END OF AN ERA  This last bit is the follow up to costumes pt.1. I guess you could say this is costumes pt.2

The costume episode was packed so full of fun facts and crazy stories we have made it into a 2 part life experience and is intended to be enjoyed as a family, or with friends.

We examine a few excerpts from the diary scene. That's about it.

Premium NFT's at rock bottom prices!!!  

Week 46/52 is a speculative episode. The fellas ponder how the legacy of Face/Off will find its place in the blockchain form of NFT's.

Week 45 of our 52 week review on Face/Off.  How does Nic Cage swim to shore? Why are future prisons in oil rigs? Why are people being arbitrarily electrocuted? What is going on with the boots?  All this and not much else on this weeks episode of the Take 2+ podcast

This week, the fellas discuss some of the missing scenes that didn't make the shooting script. These scenes are rumoured to have been included in the early stages of the script -- or is it a lie, like every thing else?

The novelization of Face/Off is the focus of this weeks episode and we quickly learned there are more questions than answers as to  the author. Who is the elusive Clark Carlton? Also, Corey Feldman offers some helpful advice, as Chris adjusts to life after the intervention.

Michael Hadid, catered the set of Face/Off. The fellas discuss Hollywood, with mr. Hollywood himself, Michael Hadid.

What is your favourite line on Face/Off?  

Week 41/52 of the Face/Off review looks at all those sweet one-liners. Too many to mention them all here so watch, relax, maybe eat something, take a nap, learn, and find out our top 3.

This episode is dedicated to Bob Saget who passed away January 9th, 2022. He was a funny man but what stood him apart from the rest was the polar opposite characters he was known for.  Did you know the Danny Tanner Bob or the Aristocrats Bob?

Jump/Gate is real, guys.

There're Face/Off easter eggs abound in the new trailer for the upcoming Nick Cage film, The Unbearable weight of massive talent. Maybe it's because we spend all our time watching Face/Off or maybe those homages to Face/Off are obvious, in any event, we pick apart the trailer while making new friends while learning about ourselves in the process. :)

Did You Know?  Having a question in your description can improve internet engagement. We shall see. This is the third and final discussion on Peter Jackson's epic masterpiece, Get Back, with Beatles historian, Patrick.

The conversation on Peter Jackson's epic documentary, "Get Back", continues. Now that Chris has rejoined the podcast it is all systems go. In this bit, Patrick and Chris focus on some of the more notable aspects of the 3-Part documentary, while having a few laughs along the way.

Face/Off is a fun and exciting action sci-fi film. It is also ripe with sexual harassment and never really portrays women in a positive light, at all. It probably wasn't obvious at the time of its release but is rather obvious, these days.

Get Back, the inspired 3-part documentary by Peter Jackson, has been on our minds since it was released. However, since Sean and Tyler haven't been answering any calls (hope y'all are alright) Chris discusses "Get Back" with Patrick and it's pretty much just geeks geeking out.

DID YOU KNOW?  

Margaret Cho had a stunt double even though she didn't have any stunts. So many stunts, so little time. This is week 37/52 and the fella's are looking at the stunt doubles that make the action scenes so sweet.

How many Producers does it take to make a film like Face/Off (1997)? Apparently 10! Week 36 is a celebration of the producers behind Face/Off.. well most of them..kinda.

DID YOU KNOW?

Alessandro Nivola's first big acting break was in Face/Off (1997) playing Pollux Troy. WOW!  

Week 35/52 focusses on Mr. Nivola; his role in Face/Off, his career since, and the future of this underrated actor. WOW!

On week 35 of our 52 week Face/Off review, the fellas consider the science behind the greatest surgery in film history. Are Face/Off's real? How would you do it? To help answer these questions and more, the fellas are joined by L.A. celebrity Ronn Howard.

Daniel Craig, whether you like him or not, gave a new energy into the James Bond character and revitalized a tarnished and farcical 007 Franchise. Not every Daniel Craig Bond film has been a knockout but the term "best Bond ever", may not be out of place. This is part 1 of a 2 part retrospective of Craig, Daniel Craig.

Well, times are tough at Take 2+. The notion of the porn parody of Face/Off (1997) no longer seems half bad at week 33 of our 52 week Face/Off review.

Spoilers: Candyman is not so sweet. This week on Movie Review +, Chris and Sean discuss Candyman (1992) and (2021). While there are those that stand by the classic horror film, as well as the new one, the fellas aren't buying it.

So you think you know all about Oly, eh?

Week 32/52 focuses on the controversy behind the infamous ridiculous chin line in Face/Off (1997). Who is telling the truth? Did John Travolta come up with it? Why are the writers saying Travolta thought he was being mocked? Someone is lying. This is "Chin-gate."

Week 31/52 focusses on the sound effect editing in Face/Off (1997). It would be the only category that year with any acknowledgment from the Academy (not that it matters). So what's the deal?

The fellas discuss Dirty Work (1998). To be fair, it isn't great, but the reason we're doing a Take 2 + on it is because Norm McDonald has passed away, and he was great.

A discussion on the collaborative duo of Mike Werb and Michael Colleary, is this weeks focus on our 52 week review on Face/Off (1997).

The Re-build of Evangelion is an epic series of anime science fiction films to be sure. Let's just say, Sean finds God and Chris thought it was alright, if not slightly overrated. 

An old enemy disguises himself as a friendly director. Tyler has a heart attack, Chris's head blows up, and Sean discuss the many faces of Face/Off (1997) 

By following the 10 easy steps outlined in the podcast, I was able to become a more loving father to my girlfriend.

Not much arguing on this episode. The fellas both agree on The Green Knight (2021).

Dominique Swaine played Jaime, John Travolta's daughter in Face/Off (1997). If only her parents could just understand, but they don't understand, do they Jaime? :(

The fellas discuss the action sequences of Face/Off (1997). However, which sequence is the grandest of the action sequences? why? ...because we gotta!

Do the trailers for Face/Off (1997) do the film justice? Spoilers: Those dang trailers are awesome!

What did the audience and critics think of Face/Off (1997), when it first came out? This episode focusses on the reception of this 90's action flick.

The poster is one of the first memories Chris has of Face/Off (1997). Like any good movie poster, it lets the audience know what to expect, and the Face/Off poster is a shining example.

Who did it better: John Travolta as Nicolas Cage? or Nicolas Cage as John Travolta? 

What makes Face/Off (1997) Face/Off (1997)? No one knows! But the fellas have their thoughts on the subject.

Was the original ending of Face/Off (1997) the superior ending? Or, was it the weird-ass ending that doesn't make sense, that the producers chose not to use, the superior ending?
