CinEffect Podcast Episode 3: The Place Beyond the Pines, Oblivion, Upstream Color, and more

This is an old episode that I couldn’t upload because libsyn was being weird. Now it has been uploaded for your pleasure. Enjoy.

We talk about a ton of crap this week. Some discussions on games like Battleblock Theater, Gears of War Judgement, and Injustice; and then we get intellectual with some ponderings on Upstream Color, Oblivion, and finally The Place Beyond the Pines. STUFF! ALL THE STUFF!
