Where the Long Tail Ends: Recent Episodes
Matt Gamble & James Gillham
Where the Long Tail Ends is a website dedicated to finding old, obscure and possibly awful films that are adrift in the sea of pop culture.
Helping to fulfill that mission are the three podcasts offered by Where the Long Tail Ends. Spoiler Alert!, which is dedicated to reviewing newer films that catch our interest, the Cabin in the Woods Film Festival Podcast in which Matt forces Angela Fabbrini to watch a horror film and then verbally dodge her rage and of course, High and Low (Brow), which is the signature podcast for the website. It is a themed podcast where Matt Gamble and James Gillham discuss everything under the sun, and sometimes even get around to talking about movies.

On tap is James Whale's divorce drama , the "ramen western" , the magical realism romance , Ashley Judd and Michael Shannon trapped in a motel room and their own delusions in , and Ken Loach's whisky themed redemption drama/heist film . There's a lot to discuss. Did the films go down like a fine Scotch? Do we have a hankering for Mexican food?

You have to listen to find out who is continuing that tradition. If that’s not enough, we spend the second half of the episode with Zach Snyder’s and Joss Whedon’s JUSTICE LEAGUE. It’s fair to say that we all had a lot of problems with the film amidst some highlights.

Since we needed to re-record our last episode, we decided to get the jump on this episode and record both episodes back-to-back-to-back-to ... I think I lost track there.

So, in a shameless attempt at rectifying that, we dcided we'd go with the theme of Aliens for this episode of High & Low Brow.
