Description
Jeff Young and Patrick Fitzgerald have no business reviewing movies, but they're not going to let that stop them. They may be two regular guys with no experience in the film industry, but they're on a quest to become certified film buffs as they cover gaps in their movie-watching resumes. Each bi-weekly episode they'll discuss and review the latest film they crossed off their list - old classics, celebrated blockbusters, and everything in between.

Jeff and Pat demonstrate a wealth of knowledge on a wider range of topics, including: movies, video games, and movies based on video games. Also, lawn care tips to avoid running afoul of leprechaun curses!
Pat and Jeff are getting into a beast of a film this week, with the longest entry into their review list to date: the beloved classic Japanese picture, Seven Samurai. They try using their newfound film expertise to figure out how to make it shorter. They fail.
Tish sticks around for a discussion about bad Marvel movies, good Star Trek, and what little they know about the writers' strike. Also, Tish gives Pat a crash course in the world of General Hospital.
While Jeff is off on another totally real adventure, Pat sits down with returning guest Tish MacWebber to talk about the craft of writing a novel in a month, and the at of creating the perfect book cover. They also review that movie your annoying English teacher made you watch during class that one time, Dead Poets Society.

Josh sticks around to chat about nothing in particular, including the Kenny vs Spenny live show, the Super Mario Bros. movie, and Jeff's spooky adventures.
Jeff and Pat are welcoming back Josh, the war movie expert, to talk about the ambitious war film about an ambitious battle operation, A Bridge Too Far! They rave about the star-studded cast and complain about the lack of English subtitles - were we supposed to understand what those Nazi officers were saying?? - While Josh balances out his expertise in military history by being mostly oblivious about Star Wars.
Jeff and Pat are back in th 50s this week to check out some high school vehicular homicide in Rebel Without a Cause. They discover that when your grandparents reminisce about a "simpler time", they're apparently talking about a time when it wasn't considered bullying unless there was a knife fight? It was a weird decade and your grandparents are weird people.
Pat and Jeff slowly begin to accept the fact that people just do not go to the movies like they used to.
This week Jeff and Pat are going back to get seduced by an all-time classic film: the 1967 coming-of-age comedy, The Graduate! Also they practice some cancelled impressions, play a new game called "Spot the Parody", and this movie turns one of the BBO team into a boomer apologist.
Pat and Jeff discuss the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It's the oldest film they have done so far on the podcast. Enjoy.
Welcome to the second annual Belated Box Oscars! Awards season is upon us once again, and Jeff and Pat are celebrating by doing what they do best - sharing their uninformed opinions that nobody asked for.
In keeping with tradition, the boys will judge a bunch of films they haven't seen while filling in an Oscars prediction ballot for the 2023 Academy Awards. Also, a wager is made that threatens to affect the entire future of the podcast... Just kidding, that was last year. We settled on beer... Enjoy!
Jeff and Pat go on a good old-fashioned rant about the changes to Netflix's sharing policy, which devolves into a good old-fashioned rant about the impact of mass media accessibility on the public's moviegoing habits. It's much less intellectual than it sounds.
Also, a deal is struck that has implications about an upcoming special episode. Listen in to find out more!
The boys are taking a trip into Arthurian legend this week with a review of John Boorman's 1981 epic, Excalibur. Jeff continues to mispronounce the name of the Cannes Film Festival, while Pat stays true to character and won't shut up about Dungeons & Dragons.
You know there was nothing planned for the After Hours when Jeff and Pat just talk about video games. Also smoking, drinking, fast food and poutine! We're all about fitness around here.
Jeff and Pat are knocking out another classic crime film with the 1973 true story hit, Serpico. They discuss police corruption, the obstacles of biopics trying to create a story structure out of true events, and Al Pacino's many, many ponchos.
Jeff and Pat ruminate on the phenomenon known as the limited series, and whether it has any advantages over movies.
For the first episode of 2023, Jeff and Pat are back in the world of Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns to talk about Once Upon a Time in the West. It's a timeless genre-defining masterpiece from a legendary filmmaker, and its brilliance is totally lost on our hosts, who - let's not forget - are total amateurs who don't know what they're talking about.
Welcome to a very festive Belated Box Office, where they boys are reviewing a Christmas classic. the 1983 family Christmas comedy, A Christmas Story!
Jeff and Pat are joined by Karen to continue what is apparently a tradition of Schwarzenegger films in December. They rate and review the 1987 action-packed coke fest, Predator! And also try to guess how many squirrels they could beat in a fight.
During another one of Jeff's adventures away from the podcast, Pat brings in a new guest to cover for him. Together, they get very judgemental and condescending toward one of the greatest filmmakers of our time. It's a review of Martin Scorcese's 2010 thriller, Shutter Island!
