With everyone stuck inside, hopefully practicing social isolation, we thought we do a rainy day episode. These our some of our favorite go to movies when you are stuck inside and avoiding the world. If you’ve been stuck indoors watching movies, and have ever wanted to be on a podcast, send me a message, and I will try and dial you in, and you can tell us what you’ve been watching. It’s not like you have anything better to be doing. Take care of yourselves, and each other.
Enjoy!
Let’s just go ahead and blame Coronavirus for the lack of a new episode this week. But here is a classic, a look back at the best and worst movies of 1986.
Enjoy!
This week we are discussing the Netflix sequel, To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You. We were lucky enough to have Kaitlin join us for this episode, as we really break down the goods and beds of this teen romantic comedy. We really got into this much more than I was expecting, so please let us know if you agree or disagree with any of thoughts. We’s also like to know if you are “Team Peter” or “Team John”.
Enjoy!
This week we try to understand what was going on in the latest DC film, Birds of Prey. The reviews were good, and I know several people who really liked it, and DC is on about as good a roll as they’ve been on lately, so this should have been a slam dunk at the box office. So what went wrong? I don’t know that we actually come up with any answers to that question, but we still talk about it a lot. I definitely believe that there are people who will disagree with us, but we would love to hear why. We are always open to other people’s opinions.
Enjoy!
This week we discuss our feelings about the Academy Awards for this year. And because they moved the Oscars up so much this year, we will also be discussing Roy's annual tradition of Oscarbowl Sunday, where he forgoes all the trappings of the Super Bowl, and catches up on award films instead. What did you think of the Oscars this year? Were you happy about Parasite cleaning up in the major categories? Were you annoyed by any of the speeches or presenters? Let us know!
Enjoy!
It’s that time of year, when everyone is making their lists, and the Academy is about to announce their pick for Best Picture of the year. But before all that pomp and circumstance, we thought we would offer you our favorite movies of 2019, and a few movies that we thought were pretty terrible. As a special treat, we are all four actually together, at one table, for this episode. So sit back, relax, and enjoy almost 3 hours of us talking nonsense.
Enjoy!
Well this one took awhile to make happen, but here is our episode about the newest Star Wars movie. We agree about a lot things, and disagree about a whole lot more. So if you loved The Rise of Skywalker, there will be something in this episode for you. If you hated the final installment in the Skywalker saga, there will also be plenty of things for you to hang your hat on.
What did you think of the Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker? I know that we ask that a lot, but I really want to know how everyone came down on this one.
Enjoy!
We planned to have this show up earlier in the year, but you know what they say about the best laid plans. This week we talk about the movies coming out in 2020 that we are most excited about, but because we are who we are, we also talk about a lot of other nonsense as well. Hopefully when we get to the end of 2020, all of these movies live up to our expectations, but that seems unlikely…looking at you Bill & Ted. What are you looking forward to this year?
Enjoy!
It’s still been a little difficult getting back into the swing of things in 2020, but finally this week we were able to record our first new episode of the new year. To kick things off, we discussed the recently announced Oscar nominations. So join us this week, and we talk about what we agree with, and Drew talks about how let down he is by the success of the Joker.
Enjoy!
Due to an awful case of the flu, we have been unable to to record for awhile. I didn’t want to have two weeks go by without posting a show, so here is our episode from a couple of years ago about The Last Jedi. We will be recording our episode for The Rise of Skywalker as soon as I can go more than 30 seconds without coughing violently.
Enjoy!
Merry Christmas! We know that some of you are traveling for the holidays, and maybe you want to listen to some nerds talk about Christmas movies while you wait for your luggage at the airport. Don't worry, we got you. This week we continue with our run of holiday cheer as we discuss the Disney+ original, Noelle, along with Netflix originals Let it Snow and Santa Girl. These movies just go to show you that Hallmark isn’t the only game in town when it comes to completely cheesy, shot in 2 weeks, barely a movie, entertainment.
Enjoy!
It’s the season for giving, so we are giving you even more Hallmark Christmas movies. Honestly, I feel like we could do a whole separate podcast where we just watch these all year round. If 2020 is anything like 2019, we may have to do that just to feel some kind of joy in our lives. Anyway… this week we talk about Broadcasting Christmas, Write Before Christmas, and Merry & Bright. Aren’t those just the most compelling titles you’ve ever seen? It would be easy to act all Grinchy towards these movies, but we are suckers for this kind of sap, so they get a lot of love from us.
Enjoy!
This year we ended up watching enough Hallmark films that we actually recorded two episodes on the subject. On this week’s episode, we discuss Christmas Town, Christmas Camp, and Christmas in Rome. I love that there is never any mystery to a Hallmark movie, not event the title. After the kind of year 2019 has been, maybe we can all take comfort in that level of simplicity.
Enjoy!
Don’t worry, most of December will be devoted to movies that focus on people learning the “true meaning of Christmas”. But until we dive into that saccharine wonderland, here is this week’s episode about a killer robot from the future. Actually I don’t think it would take much effort to draw similarities between the terminator franchise and most Christmas stories, so maybe we are already on theme for the month.
Enjoy!
What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving than with a whole episode dedicated to the Final Destination franchise. So instead of arguing with your racist uncle about how America was never that great, how about you pop in your headphones, and listen to us try and figure out why the craftsmanship in the Final Destination universe is so shoddy. Seriously…it is a whole world of poorly built IKEA furniture, except everything is able to kill you…quite easily.
Enjoy!
One week into the launch of Disney+, so we figured we should do an episode. This week we discuss what we’ve been watching on the new streaming platform, what we would like to see on there, and our initial complaints about the service. This is an episode where we’d really like to hear from people who listen to the show. What have you been watching on Disney+, and what should we turn our attention to next?
Enjoy!
I guess Roy will be happy that this isn’t called Zombieland 2, but that doesn’t mean that this sequel to the 2009 film was wanted or needed. This week we breakdown the goods and bads of this low stakes horror/comedy, and how they could have maybe made it a little better. We also get way to excited thinking about doing more episodes about Hallmark holiday films!
Enjoy!
This week we discuss the very divisive film, Joker. Certainly none of us share the same opinion, but we all found things that we enjoyed, and definitely some things that made our blood boil. Whether you liked, loved, or hated this film, I hope you can at least appreciate its ability to spark a conversation. Please let us know how you felt about this one!
Enjoy!
This week we talk about the 2019 film, Ma. That seems so straight forward. The reality of the situation is that we spend half the episode trying to talk about anything else because, spoiler, we weren’t really impressed with this “horror” film. Still, I think we managed to salvage the episode and make something that is at least passably entertaining…unlike the movie, Ma. See what I did there?
Enjoy!
Well that really snuck up on us. Hard to believe that we have now recorded 200 of these things. Sure, they aren’t all great, and maybe we had some long gaps in production for awhile, and maybe some of those early episodes were very difficult to listen to, but here we, chugging along. To celebrate this milestone, we decided to compile our “Top 10” lists from 2010-present, roughly the same amount of time we’ve been making this show. We hope that you enjoy this episode, and continue listening as we move along towards 300.
Enjoy!
