This week on This Podcast Takes Tokens, Ryan is using his once-a-year veto to break the 20-year rule and pick a modern classic: the 2012 found-footage superhero thriller, Chronicle!

Join us as we dive into the origins of three high schoolers who stumble upon a mysterious object and gain telekinetic powers, we think. From the frustratingly shaky camcorder tropes and the tragic villain arc of Andrew, to the hilarious logistics of filming a massive superhero battle while getting punched through buildings. The guys break down what worked, what didn't, and why robbing an ATM with your mind makes way more sense than beating up drug dealers.

Grab your popcorn and join the conversation! What did you think of the found-footage style in Chronicle? Let us know in the comments!

Love quoting old movies? 🍿

Join Ryan and Deric LIVE every Thursday at 8:25 PM/CST on YouTube!

Stick around for the second half of the episode where we dive into the Stale Popcorn of the day, read your comments in Gum Under The Seat, and wrap up with our Retro Ramble for next week!
