This week on the InSession Film Podcast, Drew Koenig from MovieBuffHaven.com drops by as we review Out of the Furnace starring Christian Bale, Woody Harrelson, and Casey Affleck. Going of that, we discuss our Top 3 Family Revenge Movies and give a preview for the month of December, which looks really great. And as usual we discuss some of the latest movie news and films we’ve seen over the last week. We had a lot of fun and we hope you enjoy the show!

P.S. we had some technical difficulties with Drew’s audio, so we ask for some grace in advance. Drew was a lot of fun though, and anytime you can podcast from a Barnes and Nobles, you know you’re doing something right. Anyway, check out the show and let us know what you think in the comment section below. Hope you enjoy and thanks for listening!

Top 3 Family Revenge Movies (32:51)
Revenge themes have been prevalent in movies for a long time and there have been some great, great movies centered around the subject. However, not all revenge stories center around family. You can argue that most of them probably do on some level, but just to narrow it down specifically, our Top 3 this week was revenge movies that had to center around family in some way. I.E. in Out of the Furnace, it was a brother/brother relationship the story focused on. So that being said, what would be your Top 3?

RELATED: Oldboy was a huge disappointment comparatively to the original and, is arguably, an unnecessary remake. Listen to Episode 40 of our movie podcast to hear this review and much more!

  1. Great episode guys. I thought Out of the Furnace was good, but had some major issues. Mostly they steam from Bale’s character. He internalizes so much that there was a lack of solidification with the climax. You never seem him truly struggling to get over some major issues that plague is life. While the plot was simple in some sense there was any connecting tissue. Each subplot felt very distant from one another.

    • Thanks Dan! I completely understand where you’re coming from. As I mentioned on the show, I think you have to assume some things about what’s going on. For Bale, we see him look for Saldana’s character a few times, we see him try to talk with his brother and we see the anguish on his face. The hunting scene also plays a major role into that as well. I like how it’s not thrown into your face but how Cooper let’s you put those pieces together. For me it didn’t feel distant, but I completely understand how one might feel that way. Thanks again for the comment!
