Ep. 70 - The Devil Wears Prada
This week we covered an all-time classic, and one of Meryl Streep's most iconic performances, "The Devil Wears Prada." Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt, and others all give excellent performances as well, but as we all know, Meryl is the showstopper. In the social media era, it's almost impossible to have completely avoided references to this movie, so if you haven't seen it, come join us to find out what all is going on around that cerulean monologue or Chanel boots meme you've seen so many times.

Ep. 69 (Nice) - Stargate
Hark! A new episode drops! We apologize, friends, we've been navigating some work/life balance adjustments lately and it's been a little tougher than expected to keep up with the editing for the show. In any case, this week we covered 1994's "Stargate." A film that launched several long-running television spinoffs and that honestly surprised both of us with how casually fun it was in the face of horrible, low-budget scifi expectations. Join us!

Dogma. A wonderful movie about angels, demons, humans, and lots of other bible-y things in between that stars Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Salma Hayek, George Carlin, and Jay & Silent Bob (among others). We're still working on actually making our episodes shorter than the films themselves, but in lieu of that, testing out a somewhat briefer episode description. Maybe it's just the burn out. Maybe I'll update this later. Who's to say? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

As we all know, the true meaning of Christmas is that it's important to keep the spirit of spooky season alive in your heart all the long year round. To that end, this week we're covering one of the most intriguing horror/thrillers from 2024: "Heretic." Starring Hugh Grant, Chloe East, and Sophie Thatcher, this delightful continuation of Hugh Grant's descent into more nefarious characters had been on both of our lists since it came out last year and provided many devilish twists and questions to keep us on the edge of our seats from start to finish.

Ep. 65 - Batman and Robin
They can't all be winners, right folks? Just as not every movie should take itself so seriously, so must every movie podcast also leave space for self amusement and having some fun with it. To that end, this week we covered Joel Schumacher's immortal-for-all-the-wrong-reasons superhero entry: BatNips! Erm, I mean... Batman and Robin. Starring George Clooney, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Uma Thurman, Chris O'Donnell, and Alicia Silverstone, this oft-bizarre, occasionally poignant, and consistently amusing one-liner-hunting romp through the iciest, neon-est Gotham you've ever seen certainly kept us entertained from start to finish.

With awards season now rapidly shrinking in our rear view, we thought this week we'd aim for something more brief and more fun, while featuring another delightful animated film as animation never gets enough attention or love. This week, it's Studio Ghibli's charming 1992 entry "Porco Rosso." Starring Michael Keaton, Cary Elwes, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, and Susan Egan (in the English translation that is), this story of a man-turned-pig who's the best pilot in all of the Mediterranean combines Miyazaki's classic charm with all of his usual warnings about letting ourselves get so distracted by conflict and destruction that we forget...

With just a couple days to go before the 97th Academy Awards, this week we're covering what was once maybe a presumptive favorite to walk away with Best Picture, but now runs neck and neck alongside others due to an A.I. controversy and, frankly, one of the most obscene runtimes Hollywood has ever delivered to us. Yes indeed, it's "The Brutalist." Featuring absolutely beautiful, nuanced performances from Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, and Guy Pearce, this half-gorgeous, half-obtuse slog through the story of fictional brutalist architect Laszlo Toth really had a lot of potential, but just left your hosts...

Already the winner of the Critics' Choice Award for Best Picture and the coveted Palme d'Or from the Cannes Film Festival, this visceral Cinderella story gone wrong features a powerhouse performance from Mikey Madison as the titular Anora.

As the holiday season rolls along, the warmth of community swells all around us to the point of almost sometimes seeming just a little magic. And in some cases, like those of the fictional towns from the delightfully silly, cookie-cutter Christmas romance movies that come out every year, that magic is more than just a little real. Enter "Hot Frosty," one of 2024's most ridiculously entertaining such films, starring recovering Mean Girl Lacey Chabert across from hunky-snowman-granted-life-through-the-power-of-holiday-cheer Dustin Milligan.

Ep. 25 - The Graduate
This week we have a look at one of the most iconic films of the 20th century; a film that gave birth to an entire genre of films about lost, lovelorn youths; and the movie that launched the career of one of the most prolific and polarizing actors of the past century: Dustin Hoffman. This week, it's 1967's "The Graduate." Have you ever felt uncertain? Unsure?? Hopelessly crippled by the disappointing imbalance of your own ambitions versus the weight of expectations??? No? Well then get out there and have an affair with your friend's mom or something and spice...

Ep. 24 - The Wolf Of Wall Street
One of the most intense films we've covered so far, this week it's Martin Scorsese's Wolf Of Wall Street. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio as the charismatic criminal, Jordan Belfort, this film takes us through the absolutely wild saga of Belfort's life before his arrest and prison time, and really paints an upsetting picture of what the furthest reaches of exploiting unfettered capitalism look like. Needless to say, the soapbox was soapboxing for our two hosts on this one.

Sometimes manic episodes are a symptom of exhaustion, stress, or other mental health struggles. Other times, they're a symptom of watching an absolutely unhinged movie from your childhood and loving every damn minute of it. Join us this week for our usual commentary and attempts at analysis, with an uncommon amount of hijinks and laughter along the way. It's a fun one, folks.

This week Ben and Sawyer cover our first of hopefully many Studio Ghibli masterpieces, 1997's "Princess Mononoke." Having firmly established himself and Studio Ghibli as powerhouses in the world of animated storytelling with such greats as "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind," "My Neighbor Totoro," and "Castle In The Sky," Miyazaki delivered in '97 perhaps his most powerful piece yet, with this biting critique of society and the strained relationship between mankind and the world we inhabit. To think that he'd follow this one up with Spirited Away just a few years later... *heart eyes*

Fresh off of 8 seasons of "Rawhide" and the first two films of this Cornetto-esque trilogy of westerns, Clint Eastwood catapulted himself to a new level of stardom with his role in this movie, as a bounty hunter with a heart of gold...and a thirst for it as well.
