Battleship Pretension is a movie discussion podcast started in 2007 by Tyler Smith and David Bax. Since then, we’ve done live comedy shows, written reviews, commentaries and more.
Battleship Pretension is a film discussion show and a film review website founded by Tyler Smith and David Bax. Beginning in March 2007, Battleship Pretension the show (known to fans simply as “BP”) embodies the type of laidback, free-flowing conversations had by lovers of film around the world. Battleship Pretension the website is dedicated to being a destination for those seeking worthwhile opinions on current releases, be they foreign, independent, studio pictures, theatrical, home video releases, etc. From its meager beginnings in Los Angeles, Battleship Pretension has amassed a worldwide audience and readership. From Germany to Korea to Australia, people have tuned in to share in Tyler and David’s love of film. As Battleship Pretension’s following continues to grow, the purpose remains the same: Reach out to the international cinephile community, invite them to join in the discussion and perhaps even start one of their own.
I think Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is not a “celebration” of “modern” Nic Cage so much as 90s Nic Cage action movies (nobody would celebrate a lot of the dreck he appears in now, even if there is good stuff today as well). I’m not really a fan of those, but I was able to enjoy the movie anyways.
I say Tyler is wrong: religiosity declines as societies get wealthier. People need religion more when times are tough.
The Deuce didn’t discuss kicking out “mom & pop” business. It was about porn & prostitution.
