Jupiter Ascending – for Annual Subscribers

In Jupiter Ascending, the newest film directed by The Wachowskis, a woman finds out the ordinary life that bores her so is just an illusion and that she is actually a reincarnated queen.  From that plot and the trailers this new sci-fi epic appeared to tell a story not too far removed from The Wachowski’s beloved film The Matrix.  Yet the film sat unreleased for some time, and then its release date was moved from Summer, 2014 to February, 2015–a sign that the studio lacked confidence in the film.  But now Jupiter has ascended.  Should you take the red pill or the blue pill on this new mythology?  Thanks to your donation to Now Playing  you can listen to Stuart, Arnie, and Jakob’s review and find out!

NOTE: This listing is for annual subscribers to our show. You can also get this movie review individually for a small donation.

Every dollar you donate goes to make this show the best it can be. Thank you for your support and we hope you enjoy the podcast!

Springfield, Ill. – February 11, 2015 – Despite logging nearly 500 film reviews in 8 years, the hosts of Venganza Media’s No. 1 ranked Now Playing Podcast aren’t ready to slow down, and for the first time they’re giving listeners a chance to join them on the air.

Today Venganza Media announced a Kickstarter campaign to fund the company’s first publication: Underrated Movies We Recommend.

The campaign begins during the Feb. 17 live review of Kingsman: The Secret Service at NowPlayingPodcast.com. To reach its $40,000 goal in 30 days, Venganza Media is giving fans the opportunity of a lifetime: choose a film, any film, and co-host an episode of Now Playing Podcast. The show will be recorded, edited, and released to the world in early 2016.

Other rewards available on Kickstarter include printed and downloadable copies of Underrated, Now Playing Podcast artwork, autographed merchandise, lifetime subscriptions to bi-annual bonus shows, and access to the prized Now Playing Podcast vault, which contains long-sought episodes released exclusively to donors and unavailable for years, including the Jaws, Alien, Evil Dead, and Poltergeist retrospective series’.
