Film Yarn #124 - Idiocracy
Fredo has over the acronym king of the blogosphere Dylan Fields of Man, I Love Films; they discuss family, the future, kids, the cult of office space, tex-mex music, family compounds, and the little known Mike Judge masterpiece known as Idiocracy.

Between the sublime and the ridiculous is Turquoise Jeep.
New Media superstars and Film Yarn favorites Turquoise Jeep released their first short film OOH AHH SOUND in which Flynt Flossy finds himself yearning for “the one” you get cameos from the Turquoise Jeep crew, and a couple of musical numbers.
It’s mostly terrible but there are some flares of brilliance.
Danny Boyle’s Frankenstein
Guess who just booked tickets for the theater event of unlimited awesomeness! I considered driving 3 hours to a college town to check it out last year. This encore season will show Benedict Cumberbatch being the creature on 6/6 and Victor Frankensten on 6/7. And I got tickets for both.
Check out the Fathom Events page to see if the show will be available in your area.
Film Yarn #123 - The Dictator
Fredo is taken hostage by Xavier Mendes and Stephanie Maurie and as a form of torture he’s taken to see The Dictator, at the same theater where the latest Linklater film Bernie is screening.
It’s a mortal sin in the Fredoverse to watch a Sasha Baron Cohen movie when a Linklater is available.

One word:
Fuck.
Film Yarn #122 - Tiptoes
Fredo treks to Xavier Mendes’ lair in Elgin IL, known for a women’s prison and an insane asylum, to watch a bucket-list movie, the 2003 movie Tiptoes. One of the worst of all time.
Just how bad is this movie? Just how much of a “role of a lifetime” it is for Gary Oldman. Will the theory that Kate Beckinsale looks good in absolutely everything hold up?

Mike Birbiglia’s New Short: Fresh Air 2
I was at the This American Life Live event in my local theater last night, so I haven’t had a chance to edit this week’s episode. However, you should watch this short while the show is cooking.
Mike Birbiglia’s movie Sleepwalk With Me was a Sundance darling and is coming to theaters in August, and is now one of my most anticipated movies of the year.
