2021-09-271h 03Good Day for a Movie PodcastEp 038 // Million Dollar BabyIn this episode, Sage chooses a movie that will more than likely mess him up for the foreseeable future, 2004's Million Dollar Baby. Sage and Jacob team up against Tate to try to convince him that a certain part of this movie is realistic and shouldn't impact the "enjoyment" of the film overall. We also talk about Hilary Swank's all-time acting performances, Morgan Freeman's narration ability, and how legendary Clint Eastwood truly is. Before we get into the movie, however, Jacob tries his best to pay tribute to his favorite comedian, Norm MacDonald.

2021-09-201h 18Good Day for a Movie PodcastEp 037 // Planes, Trains and AutomobilesIn Jacob's next movie pick, he proves that John Candy was indeed a real actor and not just a figment of his imagination. To do this, Jacob has to take us back to 1987 in John Hughes slapstick comedy, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, or as Sage would like to call it, Planes, Trains and Mostly Automobiles. In this review, the boys cover all of the comedic highlights from the movie and the heartfelt story underlying it all, along with debating Thanksgiving food and the best and worst holidays. If you listen until the end, you'll get to hear about the...
2021-09-1349 minGood Day for a Movie PodcastEp 036 // Before SunriseIn probably the most hectic opening of this podcast, Tate finally lands on 1995's, Before Sunrise, the first movie in the Before trilogy. The dichotomy between optimism and pessimism is astounding throughout the majority of the review. We get into the use of silence, why dialogue-heavy movies work so well for one co-host and why one hates it, and we attempt to answer the question, what is love? Baby don't hurt me....no more....well not really but we do talk about if we think love at first sight and a soul mate are real things.

Jacob is flabbergasted when the movie was first announced and that flabbergast didn't really end once the review starts. Tate and Sage break down the funniest moments for them while Jacob highlights why this movie didn't quite work for him.

We talk about how and why Anthony Bourdain had such a cult following, why a tire company rates restaurants, and some of the missteps this documentary could have made. We then review the travesty that is M. Night Shyamalan's newest movie, Old. This movie stunk. And not in a good, fun way. Two of the three co-hosts almost walked out of the theater.
