Movies Movies Movies!

Check out the Kickers of Elves(formerly Rules of Acquisition) feed to hear us talk about Sinners and Eddington: Two movies we all saw and enjoyed.

Hugh had some great insights about Ari Aster’s Eddington that make me want to go revisit the movie right now. Probably can’t make it happen though. Damn cats.

OH, and don’t forget the Patreon

More Section 31 Content Than is at All Deserved

We have ... fun

Because he’s a glutton for punishment Wade recorded a podcast about Section 31. Twice.

First, it’s a grand return to Star Trek for the main Kickers of Elves feed. But because you deserve to hear about something we liked (you’re welcome, haters), in addition to the first streaming Star Trek movie that everyone loves, we also talked about the Northern Irish movie about some gaelic rappers, Kneecap.

But wait! There’s more! The scabs over at Star Trek Resignation also were impressed into service watching the movie featuring at least two castmembers we like.

Listen on all your favorite podcast apps. 

Or youtube I guess. That’s what people do now, huh?

Oh hey, in addition to all that there’s also over an hour of new content on the patreon where Wade, James, and Hugh talk about The Brutalist and other movies

Batman-ing

Over on the patreon you’ll find two posts about Batman, or the lack thereof:


First we talk about The Penguin, but without having watched the last episode.

Then, in a post for everyone, whether you’ve watched The Penguin or not, we talk about Batman. Starting with The Batman and then going on from there

Resurrections and Going Backward in Time

Wade has another baby and the podcast just goes off the grid, huh? There’s plenty going on at the KoE patreon for a weekly fix. You can hear some of that on the Kickers of Elves main feed. In the meantime, enjoy this discussion we had about the new Matrix movie, Tenet, and what we think about some things going on.

Also new things are coming round soon on Star Trek Resignation with Wade, Glen and Sean.

Information Rumspringa

Hey, KOE is still out there. Don’t get overwhelmed.

If you’re not a patron… well, then. That’s fine. This week we’re totally dad-pilled, but if you want something lighter we also talk about Shang- Chi, Eternals, and movies some of us think are going to fail [Dune].

give us money!

And hey look! Star Trek Content! For free! On Under the Bridge we’re covering Star Trek: Lower Decks, and realizing how it’s doing the work of television well in a way that the higher profile shows could probably learn something from. Characters that have meaningful and believable arcs? On a dumb reference cartoon?!
