Cosby & Sony scandals, streaming devices & High Maintenance, Top Five, and Foxcatcher.
Paul and Elgin talk about
- Two of the top screen-related stories of 2014: Bill Cosby rape allegations and the Sony Pictures hacking scandal triggered by the movie The Interview.
- Dueling streaming “sticks”: A comparison of the Roku Stick, Chromecast, and Amazon’s Fire TV Stick. Which is the best device to deliver the stuff you want to your screens? Also, we chat about the Vimeo web series High Maintenance from Ben Sinclair and Katja Blichfeld. What distinguishes this show, which is and isn’t about dope dealing, from the vast majority of web shows currently out there?
- Chris Rock’s Top Five. Has the black comedian actually created his own African-American Annie Hall, as some critics claim?
- Bennett Miller’s Foxcatcher starring Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, and Mark Ruffalo. Does the former star of The Office have the acting chops to pull off this very dark drama?
