Podcast - SEB Films

We made our first Podcast for class - disclaimer: it's extremely corny! But who knew a 2 minute production would take 10 hours of work to put into! And so many bugs to fix...But we've got here, right for you! An interview done by current SEB Films Programmer Brian Logan and a former SEB Street Team member. SEB Film Podcast.

SEB Movie: MacGruber

SEB presents:
MacGruber
Sept. 24th-26th
CUB Auditorium
Fri/Sat 6pm & 9pm
Sunday 4pm & 7pm

With a great cast (Will Forte, Val Kilmer, Kristen Wiig, and Ryan Philippe to name a few) and a plot based off an SNL skit, this movie should provide enough laughs to last the weekend. MacGruber (Will Forte) is called to action after a nuclear warhead falls into the hands of his arch nemesis Dieter Von Cunth (Val Kilmer). Using his own unusual tactics -and leaving a path of destruction in his wake- MacGruber and his team of experts work to bring Von Cunth down.

I haven't seen this movie yet, but if it's as awesome as its shorter SNL counterpart then it's totally worth seeing in my book. As usual, it's free for WSU students and $2 for the public. Grab some snack from the vending machines or the dollar store before you go and enjoy a night of laughter and fun.

SEB Movie: Toy Story 3

SEB presents:
Toy Story 3
Sept. 17th-19th
CUB Auditorium
Fri/Sat 6pm & 9pm
Sunday 4pm & 7pm

From the very first adventure Woody and Buzz embarked on the world was captivated by Toy Story. We all grew up with Woody, Buzz, and the rest of the Toy Story gang being our imaginary playmates and toys, as well as our favorite movie characters. It's been 10 years since we last saw Buzz and Woody. 10 years for Andy to grow up -10 years for us to grow up. What will happen to the toys when Andy goes off to college? All about new beginnings -for Andy and the toys- it's something all of us here at WSU can understand.  

Pixar does an amazing job of finishing the story and made sure no toy was left out. Filled to the brim with laughs, there are jokes that continue from the first Toy Story to jokes that are geared toward the adults in the audience. There's also plenty of action and drama as the toys try to figure out their future and get back to Andy. There is definitely something for everyone. A good ending for one of the best stories, I completely recommend for everyone to see it.
