Your Mother Ate My Dog!
Episode 132: Sugar & Spice
It's the 4th annual birthday episode for Jesse and it does not disappoint. A real milkshake, you could say. Talks about moving, movies, Survivor and more has this episode feeling like a real celebration. Plus Sugar & Spice wasn't even that bad.

Episode 128: The City of Lost Children
Warning: French film upcoming. It was Jesse's turn, and he picked the 1995 follow up hit to Delicatessen (see Episode 98), which was a subtitle-only film. We riffed for a long time and talked about the movie briefly, but it was good to catch up. We learn that cars are expensive, and our lives are following a parallel path. What's next?

Episode 125: The Adventures Of Buckaroo Banzai Across The 8th Dimension
The only thing longer and more confusing than the name of the film is probably the entire movie. It was insane, but there were some stand out performances, mainly from John Lithgow and Jeff Goldblum. Also the podcast hosts, Josh and Jesse, put in some work this episode, which we hope our Facebook comments appreciate.

Episode 44: Spice World
The boys have finally done it: admitted their love for 1990's girl groups, specifically, the critically acclaimed band "Spice Girls" consisting of Baby, Posh, Scary, Sporty, and the unfortunately named Ginger. Turns out, her hair is red, but the film of the week, "Spice World", makes us see that they aren't all just stereotypes of their names. A surprisingly fun movie to watch and talk about, and we hope that you are just as excited to come along for the ride!

Episode 117: The Eye of the Cat
Lots happening in this episode. Tea is spilled in all the best ways, crash and boom, plus they talk about a bad movie and answer two weeks worth of Jeopardy questions. We take questions from a guess and talk about getting old. Jesse can't guess the song in Josh's head.

Episode 107: Ghost Ship
The first film of the Halloween season for us involves ghosts and ships, and a pretty iconic opening scene that we will talk about for years. Also Jesse has a problem with his local food establishment and we bring back an old favourite.

Episode 91: Top Secret!
The boys pick a movie that was revolutionary in 1984, but perhaps has lost its luster through the last 40 years. Lots of topics discussed including the return of the NHL playoffs, favourite McFlurries, when's the last time we went to the bank, and also what's our favourite sandwiches. You could call this an all-time episode.

Episode 88: Tootsie
The boys head back to 1982 and watch an important film which garnered 10 Academy Award nominations. Breathtaking performances from Dustin Hoffman and Jessica Lange, but one of the hosts HATED Bill Murray's acting job. They also talk about what they did over Easter, and end the podcast with a little VIDEO GAME TALK SEGMENT. All-time episode.

Episode 87: The Wrestler
Mickey Rourke is back in a big way in this 2008 wrestling film that was met with big acclaim. We had thoughts on it, as well as food thoughts, weather thoughts, television thoughts, and general thoughts. Big episode, no steroids needed.

Episode 85: The Prestige
It's magician week here at Your Mother Ate My Dog, and we start with a doozy. Christopher Nolan strikes again, and we have a fun time talking about it. It's a Book Club but for movies. We should have called the podcast The Movie Club, is that a thing? Doesn't matter.

Episode 84: Tough Guys Don't Dance
I'm not going to lie gang, this one was a tough episode. Lots of technical issues and a movie which could be a slog to get through. But, of course, there were some redeeming qualities and I think this is an episode that we will look back to with fond memories. Enjoy!

Josh won't stop talking about his trip to Hawaii and Jesse wants to remind you he also travelled over the last two weeks, AND guested on another podcast. A very spirited discussion about the movie of the week, Earth Girls Are Easy, starring a young Geena Davis, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans and Jeff Goldblum.

Episode 81: Saltburn
It's the film that everybody is talking about, three weeks late. Saltburn takes place in a luxurious estate, so the boys headed to England and rented out a castle of their own to record this podcast. The flight was long and there was some turbulence, but we think you'll really dig the final product! Enjoy!

It's the holidays! We talk about the holidays and what the heck happened in 2023. It's the week between Christmas and New Years and boy, is that ever obvious with this one. Tom Hardy is a great actor and one of us liked the movie and one of us did not. Merry Christmas!

Episode 77: Violent Night
It's the second annual Christmas episode! It's also our last episode of Craft Beer Talk With Josh and Jesse where we talk about one craft beer we had that night and hype up the craft beer we are having the next night. A real hodgepodge of topics covered in this one, but there is one thing that is very clear, the 2022 Christmas movie Violent Night, starring David Harbour (Stranger Things), is not very good. Fun fight scenes though. Enjoy the podcast!

This episode is a random rumblings of everything that makes Your Mother Ate My Dog a tolerable podcast. Jesse is sick and his voice disintigrates over the entire episode, including a brief moment as a chipmunk. It's a good movie this week and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

What's your favourite type of pie? This week, the boys tackle a big one, Life of Pi, which was a very successful book (which 1/2 the hosts are finding out for the first time) and movie as well. There's some trivia, some box office talk, and a bunch of singing for some reason.

Episode 70: Insomnia
People say our voices are so soothing that it will put you right to sleep. Well, what if you lived in an Alaskan town where the sun never goes down and you accidentally shot and killed your detective partner? Not so easy to sleep then, even if this podcast had been around in 2002. Al Pacino, Robin Williams nearly bore us to death in this "psychological thriller", but we do get to talk some fun stuff like magazine subscriptions, big college football games and probably a whole lot more!

Episode 68: To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything! Julie Newmar
Quite a mouthful, which is exactly how you would describe this episode. Lots of words were said, many were good words, but to be honest, some were lazy words. We could have picked smarter words. We talk about why we weren't around the last few weeks, what we've been watching, and then we dig deep into this crazy film which stars Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes and John Leguizamo in drag. Enjoy!

This is the last episode for a few weeks as we take a few weeks off for a trip to Samoa to visit one of the two islands (still not sure which one). Enjoy!

Episode 64: The Ladykillers
Josh and Jesse are known as quite the ladykillers themselves, so they jumped at the opportunity to review the movie of the same name. Tom Hanks talking in a southern twang, what's not to love? Turns out, not a whole lot. But, we get to learn more about Jesse and that's worth a listen!

The podcast loves reviewing Academy Award Best Picture-winning movies, and that does not stop with this one! It's Crash, you know, the 2004 film where everybody is racist and nobody really learns from their mistakes? It's been a while since we recorded so there was a lot of catch-up, and we talk about movies we watched recently that were better than this one. Enjoy!

Episode 60: But I'm A Cheerleader
Episode 60! We've picked a movie to watch for this one for sure, a cult classic from 1999 starring Natasha Lyonne as a cheerleader. Pretty insane stuff. Going to America soon and excited to try the different (and bad for you) foods, so we talked about that a bit. What else, oh somehow we got this episode to an hour but didn't really talk about much except for the movie. And the number 60? Tom Hanks plays a prominent role as always. Thanks Tom! Enjoy!

We have finally cracked and watched the iconic cinematic masterpiece that is Kevin Costner's Waterworld. No, not the ride at Universal Studios, although that is something we would love to experience right now instead of our mundane 9-5 lives. This was a movie for sure, and the episode really should have been called "1995" because we spent a lot of time talking about that year, and also free cars. Anyways, have a listen and let us know what you think. Should we keep this ol' thing going or what?

This episode starts off with a LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISORY. Look, we all do it. Isn't it cuter when it comes from a cat though? Smoke Signals is one of those rare good movies we watch and both have nothing bad to say about, which doesn't make it boring. We dig in to another box office weekend from 2009 and spend some time at IKEA. Fun!

Come on an adventure through time and space, where we eventually visit a small Japanese 1954 film and transport all the way to 2001 for a fun weekend at the movies. We also talk about this 2022 British stop-motion film, but that is no fun. Enjoy!

The boys are back with another movie from the 1990's about the crazy witch pandemic. One of them liked the movie and one of them did not, which makes for some fun and authentic banter. Episode starts off as more of a brag on which cool movies that they have seen which were all better than the Craft, but this movie is a cult classic for a reason, right?

This podcast episode description was not written by an AI. We dig deep into the wonderful world of Boon Jong-Ho's Snowpiercer, starring Chris Evans, with mixed reviews.

Some things happened and then all of a sudden they delivered us a movie starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo which didn't exactly go as planned.

Welcome back to another episode of Your Mother Ate My Dog, where two normal dudes judge a movie that they watch one time because they think they are "experts". This week, they chose the legendary Nicholas Cage project GHOST RIDER, where Nicholas Cage is a superhero from hell, who sold his soul so his skull could light on fire and he could drive a cool bike. Anyways, the boys talk about the Grammy Awards, how dishwashers are so vital to a human being's existence, and what they had for dinner. Stay awhile and do my dishes, will you?

No, not the Nicholas Cage one. Maybe he comes next week (spoiler?), or maybe the podcast waits a few episodes to talk about him again. Anyways, this is the 1973 British folk horror CLASSIC, and the boys have a blast talking about the goods and the bads. They also name three countries that start with the first letter of their name and somebody buys a new car. Also FOOTBALL. Big Superbowl predictions.

We asked him a lot of questions and found out his favourite colour is blue. Riveting stuff. More sports talk, and then we dive deep into one of the hottest new releases of the year 2022.

Episode 28: Moon
The boys travel back to space for a 2009 film that takes place on the Moon with really only one actor. You're not going to like this movie if you don't like the actor in question, which is something Josh and Jesse may have encountered in this episode. It wasn't all bad though, as these two pals used their hour a week to catch up, play some trivia, and enjoy each other's company, or whatever. Have a listen!

Episode 27: One Hour Photo
Remember those kiosks in one of those big box outlet stores where you would go up and get your film processed in an hour or less? No of course you don't, this was 20 years ago. Take a trip with us back down memory lane as we get our photos developed together, in podcast form. Robin Williams goes dark in this one, and we aren't talking about whatever he decided to do with his hair for the role. It's a memorable movie and we hope that you enjoy!

Episode 26: The Hunt
Wait, you didn't think we were hunting actual human beings, did you? The boys were on the hunt for a good movie to watch this week and, well, it sure was a movie. Hillary Swank is in it, there is a fight sequence at the end and the ending was much to talk about. There was also a fun update on a scam email and a new form of late night trivia? The band of the week is an Archie comic? Cool episode, tell your friends.

Episode 25: Trainspotting
The boys head across the pond to 1996 Scotland and take a taste of what life is really like at the World's Worst Toilet. Perhaps one of them didn't fully know what this film was about before picking it as their movie of the week, instead banking on the fact that Ewan McGregor is in it, and that was good enough. Some fun scam emails were read and a tough trivia round leads to an all-time episode!

Episode 24: Everything Everywhere All At Once
Do you believe in multiple universes where perhaps you are a much cooler person who knows sweet skills and doesn't worry about mundane things like where you're going to park or what you're going to eat for dinner tonight? Also do you like action? And funny raccoons? Then you'll love the movie of the week! The boys talk about a vast majority of dope things as well. Due to technical difficulties, this podcast was actually recorded over 2 days and is their longest one yet! But you'd never know.

Episode 20: Videodrome
The boys return for their big 20's episode as they celebrate Jesse's last podcast before he turns the big 30.

The year is 1984 and you find yourself stuck in the sewers of a big city. It's dark. What is the first thing you see? Rats?

The boys talk about the movie during an intense windstorm, as well as share stories about a member of a band they may or may not have run in to at their local record shop. Fun!

Episode 6: Con Air
On today's episode, Josh and Jesse jump back in time to one of Nicolas Cage's most memorable films, Con Air, and it's much better than anticipated. They discuss the 1997 Academy Awards and spend a little too much time disgusted that this film was only nominated for two Oscars, losing both to a little indie film called Titanic. You want prisoners on a plane and prisoners in a desert and prisoners in Las Vegas? What are you waiting for, Con Air is the movie for you!
