Movie Stream Cast Ep. 011: The Paperboy (2012)

Today Jason takes a look at The Paperboy. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “After turning a beloved board game like Battleship into some sort of alien invasion film (that is not what sank my battleship), now we turn the Nintendo game Paperboy into a smutty-looking Nicole Kidman film? Does Hollywood know no boundaries?” Just a joke, I believe there is no affiliation with that title. After his ballsier (can you believe that word is in my spellcheck dictionary?) roles is Jason developing a man crush on Matthew McConaughey? You be the judge.

Fast Facts:

  • The role of Jack was originally to be played by Tobey Maguire but due to scheduling conflicts he had to pull out.
  • Sofia Vergara was first cast as Charlotte.
  • The first choice for Jack was Alex Pettyfer.
  • The Paperboy theme is called Mesmerized and is performed by Mariah Carey.

Today Jason reviews The Messenger starring Woody Harrelson, Ben Foster, Jena Malone and Samantha Morton. Staff Sergeant Will Montgomery (Foster) has been assigned to the Casualty Notification Team after being injured by an IED while deployed. Despite Captain Tony Stone (Harrelson) teaching him otherwise, Montgomery continues getting too close to the grieving family members. Jason makes a bold claim about Woody Harrelson and his career. He also reads Hammer’s mind.

Fast Facts:

  • The soldiers in the film wear a patch with the number “22″ on it, this is a non-existent “Phantom Division” which was used to fool the Germans during World War II.
  • Sydney Pollack and Ben Affleck were both attached to direct at different times before screenwriter Oren Moverman eventually took the director’s chair.
  • Sgt. Brian Scott who served as a technical advisor on the film was deployed to Iraq and was injured in an IED attack. He re-deployed to Afghanistan this April.

Today Jason takes a journey into the garden of good and crazy. He reviews the 2009 Greek film “Kyondontas” aka Dogtooth. The film focuses on an overprotective father which goes to great and sometimes confusing lengths to protect his family from the outside world. The film also features an alternate vocabulary where people pick zombies, sit in the sea and lick keyboards. If you haven’t watched the film, we dare you. The film features extreme violence and sex.

Note from Hammer: Sorry for the delay this week everyone. I have had an extremely hectic week. I post the episodes, don’t blame Jason. I hope it won’t happen again. Thanks for listening.

Fast Facts:

  • Dogtooth (Kynodontas) was only the fifth film from Greece to be nominated for an Oscar.
  • There is a similar film from 1973 called El castillo de la pureza (Castle of Purity). It was filmed in Mexico.
  • None of the children in the film are given names.
