Welcome to our third Ferncast! Today we’re talking about American Sniper, a film we’ve reviewed here at Fernby Films but felt it pertinent to discuss as part of its Oscar nomination and subsequent campaign. In a small “stop the presses” moment, we also discuss our stance on the recent case between the producers of Dallas Buyers Club (Voltage Pictures) and iiNet, one of Australia’s large ISP’s, who have recently had a court case to determine if Voltage can be given the names and addresses of people it suspects of illegally pirating their movie. You can find our original article about that here, but we felt it prudent to clarify some of our statements in that article.

Joining me in the studio to record a discussion about it was Flik from Flik Design, and we engage in a passionate examination of many aspects of this terrific film by Clint Eastwood. Please check her out on Twitter and at her website!!

Anyway, here’s the Ferncast! We trust you enjoy it!

Feel free to drop us a comment about anything you think, or heard, about these issues and more, below!!!

He has a fondness of cheesy 90’s action and classic Hollywood, hates that physical media is disappearing, and wishes somebody would make a high-budget series of The Neverending Story.
