Welcome to the CinEffect Podcast. In this podcast of constant douchebaggery, me (Chris), Alex, and Brady talk about film, games, and everything in between. This week, we review X-Men: First Class, discuss the hidden direct-to-video gem Triangle, get into heated debates about the Operation Rainfall boycott of Nintendo and the Supreme Court ruling of video games as a legitimate art-form, and finally conclude with a philosophically charged in-depth review of Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life. A profound episode, to say the least.
