Show #88 - Ender's Game

If on the off-chance you've already made it out to theaters this past weekend to see 'Ender's Game', you need to get into this spoiler-tastic podcast right away. If you happen to not care about 'Ender's Game' but just like to listen to the 'Lith and the Trap opine about movies generally, then yeah, push play. No harm, no foul. BUT! If you have not yet seen the new Gavin Hood adaptation of Orson Scott Card's classic novel 'Ender's Game' but plan to, it would be a good idea to do four things in the order listed. One, do not listen to this podcast. Two, high-five yourself because you're about to see 'Ender's Game'. Three, go see 'Ender's Game'. Four, you go on ahead and listen to this 'Ender's Game'-centric episode of A Little Snack. I think we're all sorted. Enjoy, friend!

Show #89 - Big Budget Movies About Flying Dudes in Red Capes

In this episode of A Little Snack, Monolith takes in screenings of 'Man of Steel' and 'Thor 2: The Dark World', and speaks with a certain Mr. Bear Trap about their various flaws and strengths. A proper show. Discussed: spoiler-free discussion of the Metropolis-smashing ending of 'Man of Steel', a spoiler-heavy discussion of the tornado scene in 'Man of Steel', a fresh appraisal of Zach Snyder's filmography as a director, how a headlock can stop a man with laser eyes from, say, looking to the right, why Natalie Portman does not fit in the Marvel universe and why, conversely, Scarlett Johansonn fits in quite well, the scene in Thor 2 that made the film briefly exciting for Monolith, a cool scene in a very special 'Captain America 2' trailer, and a 3-part Word of the Week that may or may not be gibberish. Please enjoy this one.
