This week the boys talk about one of Joel's favorite movies EVER: Quentin Tarantino's first feature film, 1992's "Reservoir Dogs."
Wanna hear two dudes try to break down one of the most famously involved, cryptic, detailed movie plots of all time?
This week, watched Christopher Nolan's 2010 CLASSIC, "Inception." This one's off of Jake's list.
90's kids rejoice, we're digging into 1999's "The Iron Giant!"
This one's off of Joel's list. SUP-ER-MAN.
This week, we're talking about Jake's selection "CODA," winner of 2021's Best Picture Acadamy Award. Tune in for a funny story about how Joel accidentally almost watched the whole movie without subtitles and then we pick out next movies/films! Fun!
P.S. The audio is also not great on this one but it'll be better after this one you gotta believe me bro I'm telling the truth
Get snowed-in with us as we grab our mugs of hot cocoa and chat about the coziest movie ever made, Quentin Tarantino's 2015 bloodfest "The Hateful Eight."
NOTE: The audio is weird on this one, sorry 🙃
Spooky Scary time! This week we're watching "The Woman in Black," starring Daniel RADcliffe. This one's from 2012 and it's off of Jake's list.
Stick around to hear us pick the next two movies! If you dareeeeee
What, are you surprised that this 90's made-up music biopic of a one-hit-wonder act from the 60's, written and directed by Tom Hanks and featuring music written by the bass player of Fountains of Wayne is on this list?
If you are, you shouldn't be any more surprised that it's off of Joel's list. "That Thing You Do!" is his 2nd movie from 1996 in a row and I don't know why that's important. Look, I write all of these on the same day and this is number 7 in a row for me. Please just watch the movie. I mean listen to the podcast. Both. Pleeeeeease
Oxford commas be damned, we're going to watch 2005's film adaptation of C.S. Lewis's much-beloved opening chapter in his "Chronicles of Narnia" series, "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe."
Grab a cup of tea, your favorite talking woodland animal, and let's jump right on in!
The year is 1996. The Macarena is sweeping the globe. The Coen brothers release their Midwest Masterpiece "Fargo." Jake Runyon will not be born for another two years.
This one is off of Joel's list, so hear him go on about how great the Coens are for like, forever here.
If you're a fan of Martin Scorsese directing Leonardo DiCaprio, you're going to love this season. No, we don't review Gangs of New York. No, we don't talk about the Aviator, either. Just shut up, take your medicine and watch Shutter Island with us. This one is from Jake's list.
Ni! Grab a pair of coconuts and join us on an epic quest through the not-quite-a-movie-or-a-film Monty Python and the Holy Grail! This 1975 absurdist comedy is from Joel's list.
On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
Grab your wands and spell books, this week the boys dive into the 4th film of the Harry Potter series, 2005's Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire!
Also included at no extra charge is Joel's rant about how points are scored in Rowling's universe and how stupid he thinks it is. Stick around to the end when they pick the next two movies (films?).
Jake and Joel are kickin' off season 2 with a bang, talking about Martin Scorsese's 2006 crime thriller "The Departed."
What does Scorsese do that bugs both of our hosts? What musical cue still gives Joel goosebumps? And listen in for a brand new segment that we added JUST FOR YOU THE LISTENER this season!
