– Show Notes –

American Sniper

Love it or hate it, you certainly can’t deny American Sniper has prompted a lot of conversation since it’s theatrical release. While the film’s plot and overall story devices left us a bit underwhelmed, Team Diabolical welcomed and respected the dynamic conversation the film’s viewing brought to the Penthouse. Check the links below to learn more about the film as well as the “American Sniper” himself, Chris Kyle.

Psychology of a Sniper

When contemplating a conversation on Snipers, the aspect that interested Team Diabolical the most was the mental stamina and strength required to peer behind the scope. Through a couple great U.K. based articles, we were able to climb into the mind of a Sniper and carry on a rather dynamic discussion around these respected Marksmen. Check the links below for the two articles referenced during the session. (Pictured is Sergeant Ed Kugler, the Sniper from the U.S. Marines referenced in the article from the Telegraph)

This Week’s Dope

Chuck’s Dope

Birdman – Not only will the intriguing visuals and dynamic story stay with you for a bit, but it will leave you questioning your personal relevance within life and your inner circles as well. The ending, as well as much of the film, is left up to the viewer’s interpretation… something that always garner’s my intrigue and praise. If the film is playing in your area, I highly recommend a viewing. You won’t regret it.

Curtis’ Dope 

GI Joe Tweet – Nothing like a great nostalgic art tweet to blindside you. DellDracula did just that with this dope tweet that will warm the heart in any coldblooded Cobra fan. Cheers to you Odell. My dope this week.
