Game of Thrones producer Bryan Cogman joins Devin and Amy to discuss The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). They talk about the film’s inspiration on future pop culture, which character the movie is really about and the actors getting shot with arrows. Cast your vote in the Earwolf forums if The Adventures of Robin Hood should be in The Canon.
1Hollywood's own Jake Fogelnest (writer for Hulu's Difficult People, Billy on the Street) joins Devin & Amy this week to discuss Fast Times at Ridgemont High: one of the definitive teen movies of the 80s. From the real uncomfortable way sex is portrayed to Sean Penn's portrayal of Jeff Spicoli to the terrific 80s soundtrack, this movie has it all. Tune in as Devin, Amy, and Jake talk about a movie that presents teenagers as they really are -- and head to the forums on Wolfpop to cast the deciding vote!
It’s snobs vs. slobs as Devin & Amy put two college comedies against each other: National Lampoon’s Animal House vs. Revenge of the Nerds. Would there be a Revenge of the Nerds without Animal House? Does Poindexter give Bluto a run for his money in the physical comedy department? Do the bad guys in both films deserve what they get in the end? Tune in to hear which movie will stand the test of time as being the better frat comedy -- and head to the forums on Wolfpop to cast the deciding vote!
James Bond expert and I Was There Too host Matt Gourley joins Devin & Amy this week to nominate his pick for the only Bond film in the canon: 2006’s Casino Royale. Is Daniel Craig a better Bond than Sean Connery? Is Vesper the ultimate Bond girl? Should there be more nifty 007 gadgets? Tune in for the discussion on this post Bourne-era Bond film -- and head to the forums on Wolfpop to cast the deciding vote!
Devin & Amy clash lightsabers in the first ever versus episode where they will decide which Star Wars movie belongs in the canon. The prequels don't even deserve to be in the running. Instead they will only focus on the original trilogy. Is Han & Leia's banter romantic or annoying? Is C-3PO more lovable by being a dick? Can Empire's bleakness balance out its lack of plot? Tune in for the death match -- and head to the forums on Wolfpop to cast the deciding vote!

the most white knighting that has ever happened
amy: i think i like your podcast but talking too fast without enunciating makes it very difficult for those of us with hearing disabilities. we appreciate your efforts to help us hear you! thanks!!
My first show and Devin, you are just a weenie in this. So aggressive and reaching to make Revenge of the Nerds to most insensitive movie of all time. There is heart in Revenge of the Nerds, there is a shared empathy for feeling cast aside. I am three years late on this episode but I had to say that.
woo will what you look you to ok
nothing to do with the Canon film company and its shitty movies
