From Justin to KaneMad Max: Fury Road (2015) and Pixels (2015)In this episode we finally cover two movies we have been wanting to do for a long time. The good movie this week is the exciting action sequel Mad Max Fury Road. And the bad movie is the video game-themed Adam Sandler flick, Pixels. Lots of stuff to talk about... and yet all Bob wants to do is discuss Harry Potter.

From Justin to KanePutney Swope (1969) and Marry Me (2022)It's Hollywood's biggest night! This week we recorded our episode right before the Oscars, and so this episode includes our (mostly wrong) Oscar predictions. But of course, the episode must include the usual business.... and this time we are watching Robert Downey Sr.'s wild satire Putney Swope, and we compare it to the J Lo rom-com from 2022 about a pop star that marries a regular guy! What a duo of films! Find us on Twitter, Instagram and Letterboxd @fromjustin2kane email us at fromjustintokane@gmail.com Artwork by Josh Holinaty: http://www.holinaty...

From Justin to KaneThe Worst Person in the World (2021) and Song to Song (2017)We're back after a brief fortnight break! And this time we have another episode for the cinephiles! We talk about Joachim Trier's great anti-rom-com The Worst Person in the World and compare it to the very bad Terrence Malick improv-fest Song to Song, a movie with unbelievable star power (Gosling, Portman, Mara, Blanchett, the gang's all here!). We roast Terrence Malick for a good fifty minutes in this episode. We also talk about bad improv! Get amped Kanines!

From Justin to KaneFrom Pie Tin to Cake: Special Food EpisodeIn a fun twist on our classic formula, we swap out movies for food. In this episode, we compare Dairy Queen's classic ice cream cake with a strawberry rhubarb pie that Bob found at a local grocery store. We explore the history of desserts in general and find the similarities between these two tasty treats. Was this just an excuse to eat cake and pie? Of course! Keep your fork, Kanines! There's pie!

From Justin to KaneSpeed (1994) and Meet the Spartans (2008)Kanines! We did it, we watched probably the worst movie we have seen yet. We also watch the 1994 bus-based action movie Speed, which rocks! We manage to find a bunch of "samesies," as always. We also talk about a conspiracy theory involving Steven Soderberg which is actually pretty interesting (and dumb). Bob also punches up Meet the Spartans. Plus, we play a game called "Pop Quiz A**hole!"

From Justin to KaneStop Making Sense (1984) and Boys and Girls (2000)And you may tell yourself, "this is not my beautiful podcast!" In this hot new epi, we compare the awesome Talking Heads concert film, Stop Making Sense, with the relatively forgotten When Harry Met Sally update for the new millenium, "Boys and Girls", featuring heartthrob Freddy Prinze Jr. We also talk about the career of Ed Harris, concert films and raunchy incel comedies.

From Justin to KaneThe Matrix (1999) and Cool as Ice (1991)Stop, collaborate, and listen... to this episode of From Justin to Kane! That's right, the Iceman cometh - the Vanilla Iceman that is! We compare the erstwhile rap legend's failed cinematic outing to one of the greatest sci-fi action films ever made: the original Matrix movie! We also talk about 90s culture, the new Matrix film, and reality TV!

From Justin to KaneWhen Harry Met Sally (1989) and Gemini Man (2019)I'll have what she's having, etc. etc. In this episode we tackle what Bob and Mike think is the greatest rom com ever made - When Harry Met Sally (natch) - and compare it to a pretty bad special effects showcase starring two (!) Will Smiths: Gemini Man! As you all know, Bob loves romcoms so this is a very exciting episode for him. We also talk about the romcom queen Meg Ryan (where is she now?), reading books for a change, special effects, and of course, Harry Connick Jr., as we always do! Find us o...

From Justin to KaneFrom Justin to Game: Super Mario 64 (1996) and Night Trap (1992)We're back and this week we are changing things up and talking about video games! Two paradigm shifters from the 90s are being discussed: Super Mario 64, the game that defined 3D gaming, and Night Trap, the controversial Sega CD classic that popularized (for better or worse) full motion video gaming. One game is good! One game is bad! Are they the same! Yes! It's-a us, Mike and Bob! Let's-a go! Wahoooo!

From Justin to KaneChungking Express (1994) and Requiem for a Vampire (1971)This episode is for the true cinephiles! We watch Wong Kar-Wai's classic dyad of romance, Chungking Express, and we find that it is the same movie as Jean Rollo's eurotrash vampire orgy film, Requiem for a Vampire. Both of these movies are not for everyone, but we had fun with them! Cloons shooting guns, you love to see it! We also talk about podcast catchphrases, avant-garde storytelling, and puppies! LIVE.

In this episode, we recap our favorite films that we saw in 2021. We also talk about episodic storytelling, watching Zack Snyder's Justice League WITH COMMERCIALS, the rumble pak, and make some fun plans for this upcoming year in podcasting!

We're all gathering at the big office we have rented out and we are hanging out and chatting about movies, real loosey-goosey like. There are snacks (Timbiebs), drinks (liquified Timbiebs) and music in the background (not Biebs, thankfully). We chat about everything from vaccines to Timbiebs, but mostly movies.

From Justin to KaneThe Shawshank Redemption (1994) and Tammy and the T-Rex (1994)It's From Justin Defresne! Welcome back, Kanines. After a few week hiatus we return with a double header from 1994, where we tackle Frank Darabont's sentimental prison drama The Shawshank Redemption and the chaotic "gore-cut" of the wonderfully stupid Tammy and the T-Rex (which features a young Paul Walker as the titular T-Rex), directed by the guy who did Mac and Me. These two films are both about being imprisoned, that's all ya need to know! We also talk about Forrest Gump (again), the non-horror works of Steve King, and nostalgia for the 90s. Find us o...

From Justin to KaneThe Father (2020) and A Gnome Named Gnorm (1990)Hey Kanines, get a load of these bobos... I mean, get a load of this new episode! In this soon-to-be classic epi, we compare the 2020 Oscar-winning film The Father with the terrible Stan Winston-directed "movie for kids" about a perverted gnome who is, according to our sources, named Gnorm. We have found a lot of similarities (or samesies, as we are now calling them) between these two films, they are pretty much the same movie, yes siree Bob!

From Justin to KaneMinari (2020) and The Milky Life AKA La Vida Lactea (1993)Hey Kanines, we got a reallllll weird episode for you today! On this epi, we compare the wonderful wonderful Minari, with a very obscure movie called The Milky Life, starring Mickey Rooney as a billionaire that decides he wants to be a baby so he puts on a diaper and breast feeds and does all kinds of weird baby stuff. And it is entirely in spanish. It's a true bizarro relic and we mostly focus on that because, I mean, why wouldn't you? You can watch The Milky Life here, assuming the link is still up when you click...

From Justin to KaneEdward Scissorhands (1990) and Street Trash (1987)In this episode, we find the similarities between Edward Scissorhands, one of Tim Burton's best movies, and Street Trash, a gross-out slime-a-rama that aims to "offend everyone on planet earth". Are they both about social outcasts, on the sidelines of Reagan-era America's gentrification? You gotta listen to find out! We also are introducing a new feature where we review the films! Spoiler alert: Bob REALLY hated Street Trash!

From Justin to KaneMidsommar (2019) and Into the Night (1985)We're back to our old format now that Halloween is over! We still got a scary movie but at least we are doing what the old tagline in the pod description promises. Into the Night is a pretty bad and kinda boring movie, but we have some interesting and timely conversation about how director John Landis was on trial for murder during the making of it. We also spend a significant amount of time inadvertently brainstorming ideas for merch. Don't Get Raunch on My Gonch! Find us on Twitter, Instagram and Letterboxd @fromjustin2kane emai...

On this episode, our final episode of the month wherein we talk with a guest about a horror film of choice, we are joined by filmmaker and author Omar Mouallem. Omar recently released a hit book, "Praying to the West: How Muslims Shaped the Americas," and a movie, "The Last Baron" (which is about a regional burger chain with a very interesting backstory. Omar has some thoughts on Child's Play 2, the better-than-the-first sequel about the murdering doll. He also brings on his horror buff daughter, who is 4 years old and loves...

This week, we are talking about John Carpenter's The Thing with local hot sauce maker, Lee Boyes, who also is a big part of the team for the local Halloween haunt, Dark, that is happening this month right here in Edmonton.

From Justin to KaneSpooky Month: Alien (1979) with Sylvia DouglasBOO! It's the first week of October AKA Spooky Month, and thus begins our annual tradition of talking with a guest about an iconic scary movie! This week we are chatting with local shopkeep Sylvia Douglas, one of the owners of the Edmonton comics and pop culture store "Rolling Tales", which opened less than a month ago here in town. She is also a filmmaker and a dungeon master, so there is a lot to talk about. Her favorite movie is Ridley Scott's Alien! It's a great conversation about all things spooky and nerdy!

We talk about celebrity birthdays, the movie "Hearts in Atlantis" - which turns 20 today! - the PT Anderson movie trailer for "Licorice Pizza", and the "A Star is Born" quadrilogy (AKA "A Star is Fourn"). We also talk about sad birthday parties, touching pigs, being cool in junior high, Weird Al Yankovic, and of course, "The Human Centipede". Happy Birthday Mike!

From Justin to KaneThe Red Shoes (1948) and Miami Connection (1988)Kanines, we are finally covering the wonderful rock and roll ninja masterpiece Miami Connection, and comparing it to the beautiful technicolor ballet masterpiece The Red Shoes. This is a really fun episode, very very silly, you are really going to enjoy it. Mike used to do karate (up to orange belt) and Bob used to do ballet, so we are kinda experts. We also talk about cult films, beaver cosplay, and why dogs sniff each other's butts. Enjoy! Find us on Twitter, Instagram and Letterboxd @fromjustin2kane email us at fromjustintokane@gmail.com A...

From Justin to KaneBig (1988) and Fateful Findings (2013)Merry Breensmas! We cover our first Breen film on the pod! And what a film it is. Fateful Findings is a twisted cult classic of the so-bad-it's-good variety, and we are glad to have seen our first Breen. And it is perhaps fateful that we find that it is the same as the whimsical pedo fantasia, Big, directed by the late Penny Marshall. We also talk about why the Sixth Sense is a dumb title, the nature of time in film, and what makes a film "Lynchian". What can we say? We're back on our bullshit!

Pass the Mountain Dew Code Red, because we are covering the video game to movie adaptation that started it all, the ill-fated Super Mario Bros! And we are comparing it to the quintessential arthouse indie, The Last Black Man in San Francisco, which was a real treat to watch for the pod. We also talk about the history of Super Mario, the Canadian geese of Alcatraz, and of course, Bob gets perverted about Sonic the Hedgehog.

Also worth noting that Bob is really hungover for this episode, which adds a certain flair to the proceedings. We also talk about MST3K, Quentin Tarantino and the city of Toronto.

"movie", in the Space Jam franchise, and compare it to the film that inspired Marty Scorcese's The Departed, an iconic Hong Kong action film called Infernal Affairs. They are the same movie! That's it, that's the podcast. We also talk about what we know of the sport of basketball, Hong Kong cinema, memes, and we try and list every piece of Warner Bros. owned IP featured in the Space Jam movie.

Both of these movies are a lot of fun for different reasons, and both get the Bob L'Heureux Seal of Approval. Go forth and watch, Kanines! We also talk about the golden age of CRT TVs, the Rudy Giuliani biopic, and also have a little chat about the Canadian film industry.

From Justin to KaneSolaris (2002) and Reign of Fire (2002)Sad people in outer space and bald guys fighting dragons! 2002 was a wild year for film. We cover the Steven Soderbergh remake of Solaris, not the Tarkovsky original in this episode. So if you are a Tarkovsky-head, this episode ain't for you! (Actually that's not true, we talk about the original quite a bit). And Reign of Fire is hilarious because it takes place in a dark and scary 2020 - however, I think if I had my choice, I'd take the dragons! But that's just me. In the back nine of the episode we pretty much just...

We bring back special guest Julia Grochowski to talk about two films: Bong Joon-Ho's scathing dark comedy masterpiece about late stage capitalism, Parasite, and George Lucas's Jar Jar Binks vehicle, Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Julia is not only a dyed-in-the-wool cinephile, but she ALSO has a Wookiepedic knowledge of all things Star Wars, so she is the perfect guest to get down to brass tacks about the prequel trilogy and how it is the same movie as the recent historic Oscar winner.

From Justin to KanePsycho (1960) and Psycho (1998)In this epic epi, we take a break from finding similarities and instead break down the differences between two films. Two films with the same name, the same script, the same shot list, the same locations, the list goes on and on. It's the horror classic from Alfred Hitchcock (aka "The Cock"), Psycho, and the shot for shot remake of said classic, the not-so-classic "film experiment" by Gus Van Sant, also called Psycho (duh!). This was a super fun episode to do a deep dive on... a deep dive on all things Psycho. We didn't even cover...

From Justin to KaneLa Jetee (1962) and Wild Mountain Thyme (2020)We're back after a week's hiatus with this, our 53rd (!) episode. In this one, we are talking about a stone-cold film school classic, the often imitated but never replicated, 28-minute French New Wave sci-fi classic La Jetee! It's the film that inspired 12 Monkeys (as in, it inspired the Terry Gilliam movie, not just, like, a dozen monkeys were inspired. Come on man.) Also, in an unprecedented turn for the dull, we talk about a recent "rom-com" called Wild Mountain Thyme, a recent film that has an ending so dumb that it is instantly iconic. You will not BEE-lieve your...

They are two period pieces about lonely people thirstin' for power wearing silly costumes. As we say, "it's our most chaotic episode yet!" *WINK* We also talk about steak, weed, tumbling, and of course, Jar Jar Binks.

From Justin to KaneSherlock Jr. (1924) and Sex and the City 2 (2010)In this episode we tackle the 45-minute Buster Keaton silent film masterpiece Sherlock Jr., and find that it contains a lot of the same elements as the terribly misguided sequel Sex and the City 2, a film that finds the fashionable foursome at their culturally insenstive worst in Abu Dhabi of all places. Sherlock Jr. is an amazing film - that you can watch free on YouTube - but we find that we can't turn away from discussing the trainwreck that is SatC2 (a.k.a. "Deucey-Sex"). We also get distracted and talk about the video of Kim...

From Justin to KaneSound of Metal (2020) and Lady Terminator (1989)It's our 50th episode! Wow! What a milestone! And we're back with another 2020 best picture nominee, The Sound of Metal, a film Mike and Bob both thought was great and deserved best picture. What didn't deserve best picture though, was the fun but trashy, nudity-filled Indonesian cult classic Lady Terminator, a straight up rip-off of the first Terminator film but... you know, the Lady version. We find that these films are the same film etc. etc. You know how it be! We also spend quite a lot of time talking about donuts. Don't worry, it's in context...

This time we are tackling the recent best picture winner at the Oscars, Chloe Zhao's quasi-documentary movie about the van dwelling subculture of America, and the recent reboot of the Mortal Kombat film franchise. We share our hot takes about how Nomadland is pretty much a dramatic Borat, talk about playing the video game Mortal Kombat in the 90s, and get distracted talkin' about poopin' in a bucket. As one does. FINISH HIM! And by "him", we mean, this episode. Find us on...

We look back on the year that was, and reflect on all we have accomplished on the pod. We also celebrate Citizen Kane's 80th birthday, which is the same day as our first upload! Plus, we talk about Paddington 2 overtaking Citizen Kane on Rotten Tomatoes... but we mostly talk about the Insane Clown Posse and their associated soda pop, Faygo, which leads Bob to sharing his distaste for all things clown!

We give out fake awards to the movies that we watched over the last year! So no 2020 Oscar winners here! Just good and bad movies, old and new!

From Justin to KaneMobysode (We Like to Score)In this special spin-off from our Freddy Got Fingered/Spirited Away episode, we do things a little differently. We are still talking about movies, but as they relate to the electronic artist Moby, who has quite the history with having his music featured in movies and commercials. We get into his career, talk about his licensing of music and break down a few of the films his music was featured in. We also talk about Moby Dick, vinyl collecting, Columbia Record Club, Trent Reznor, and literally anything else because there are too many tangents to count. ...

From Justin to KaneSpirited Away (2001) and Freddy Got Fingered (2001)It's Freddy Got Fingered's 20th Anniversary! To celebrate, we spend over an hour talking about this post-modern surrealist masterpiece that is also considered one of the worst American movies ever. Mike loves FGF and Tom Green and has a lot to say about this movie, and Bob was not a fan, so it makes for an interesting and long conversation about the merits of one of the most polarizing comedies of the 21st century. Oh, and the other movie - the good movie - is Spirited Away, Hayao Miyazaki's animated coming-of-age masterpiece. We also talk about whether we...

From Justin to KanePoint Break (1991) and Tom and Jerry: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2017)In this episode we find that the surfing action thriller Point Break is somehow the same as Tom and Jerry: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the clumsily titled straight-to-video nostalgia mashup that no one wanted. We loved Point Break, it's a "ride". We fell asleep during the Tom and Jerry movie. It's a bore. We also talk about the new Space Jam movie, and we try and come up with our own nostalgia-driven mashup movies. It's our most existential episode ever!

In this episode we really break down the similarities between these two films that are 3.5+ hours in length with a square aspect ratio, about a team being assembled, and are (now) both in black and white. We also play a fun little game where we figure out which Justice League member is which of the (titular) Seven Samurai.

From Justin to KaneSeven Samurai (1954) and Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) - Part 1In our quickest turnaround yet, we recorded this episode two days after the movie came out! We are, er, celebrating the release of Zack Snyder's Justice League by doing an extra long episode! So long that we split it into two episodes! But of course, we gotta stick to format, so we are saying that Zack Snyder's Justice League is the same movie as Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai, one of the greatest films of all time. In this episode we riff ourselves into oblivion, and then finally get down to contextualizing the films. Because we goofed off s...

From Justin to KaneFrom Clint to Clint: Unforgiven (1992) and The Mule (2018)It's our Clint Eastwood Spectacular episode where we watch one of Clint Eastwood's great films (the Oscar-winning Unforgiven) and one of his bad films (The Mule) and we find that they are the same film in many ways. If you like Clint Eastwood, this is the episode for you. Get amped, Clint stans. It's a Clint-isode! We talk about all things Clint in this episode - the films, the biography, the politics - and yet somehow the conversation turns to our boy Jar Jar Binks, as it always seems to.

From Justin to KaneTaken (2008) and Runaway Bride (1999)America's Sweetheart, Julia Roberts, reunites with silver fox Richard Gere for an inferior film, Runaway Bride. We find that it is pretty much the same movie as the 2008 "actioner" Taken, starring Ireland's Sweetheart Liam Neeson, a movie for "basic daddies". We also talk about how great T9 texting was, we have another segment of PODBEEF where we try and start beef with other more popular podcasts, and we reveal what our particular sets of skills are. It's our 40th episode! Find us on Twitter, Instagram and Letterboxd @fromjustin2kane email us at fr...

From Justin to KaneSaturday Night Fever (1977) and Attack Force (2006)In this episode, we are proposing that the cinematic celebration of disco dancing, Saturday Night Fever, is the same movie as the Steven Seagal crapfest, the generically-titled Attack Force. And We say this every week, but this might be the WORST movie we have watched so far. We also delve into Steven Seagal's career at large, we talk about Scientology, and Mike goes into detail about one of his best birthdays - one which ended with a serious case of gurgle-butt. It's a wild, epic episode. Find us on Twitter, Instagram and Letterboxd @fromjustin2kane em...

It is essentially the same movie as the classic 2007 twee teen pregnancy dramedy Juno. That's it. That's the episode. BONUS: we find out what Bob REALLY thinks of newborns. Spoiler alert!

From Justin to KaneHeat (1995) and The Last Airbender (2010)We compare Michael Mann's crime thriller classic Heat with M. Night Shyamalan's failed adaptation of Bob's new favorite cartoon, The Last Airbender (a big film in the windsploitation AND baldsploitation genres). We also talk about M. Night's oeuvre in general and why he makes so many films about wind, and we also decide: who is better, Pacino or De Niro? This episode has got a great ass! And your head's all the way up it!

We loved Lagaan and hated The Emoji Movie... but what else is new? We also do a deep dive trying to figure out which dictators the Minions helped, we talk about the Burger King XBOX game Sneak King, and talk about our favorite 3D movies. Get into it Kanines!

Mike was surprised that Green Book was better than he expected, and Bob was surprised that Lawnmower Man was much much worse than he expected. We also talk about Viggo, virtual reality, The Farrelly Brothers and debate who is the best James Bond.

In classic form, we find that this classic of British cinema is exactly the same as 2018's yawn of a video game adaptation, Tomb Raider. We also talk about Bob's top five movie crushes, other video game adaptations, and we venture into the bizarre world of online Sonic the Hedgehog fandom. Strap in Kanines, it gets weird!

We take on the flippin' Beatles' bizarre day-in-the-life masterpiece Hard Day's Night and we find that it is very similar to Chris Nolan's epic misfire Tenet, a film so nice you have to see it twice (to understand it at all). Mike didn't understand the movie, but Bob somehow did and so he breaks it down for the Kanines. We also delve into Nolan's filmography, and talk about our favorite Beatles albums and songs! Turn...

In a fun twist of format, Mike and Bob made good on the promise to record an episode of WDTP? and thus here is a full episode where they try and figure out when would characters have used the bathroom during some of the films covered in the last thirty episodes of the From Justin to Kane podcast.

Mike and Bob take a break from talking about movies and spend an entire epi talking about video games. We find that The Last of Us - the "Citizen Kane of video games" (not our words) - is the same as one of the worst games ever made, the famously terrible Superman 64. We also discuss what unlikely movies and TV shows would make interesting games, we talk about Bob's newfound love of Halo, and we talk about why people have lower standards for storytelling in video games, among other things!

We finally tracked down a way to watch the sci-fi cult classic Robot Jox, and we are comparing to the holiday stop-motion classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. It's RUDOLPH JOX! Aside from the usual finding that both movies are virtually identical, we also talk about how Santa is kind of a jerk, talk about holiday movie picks for the upcoming week.

From Justin to KaneGrand Budapest Hotel (2014) and If The Shoe Fits (1990)In this episode, we compare (arguably) the best Wes Anderson movie, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and find that it is very similar to the lazy made-for-TV Cinderella story, If The Shoe Fits. We also do a recap on the career of Jennifer Grey (including some sweet hot goss), we talk about why Wes Anderson is one of the best comedy film directors ever, and we also talk about, like, the nature of time, man.

AKA the titular Mank. We discuss the history of the film, we do a breakdown of the technical side of things, we talk about how it does our boy Orson dirty, we both give it a review.... we really get into all things Mank!

Quite a lot apparently. They seem to pretty much be the same movie as far as we can tell. Spike Jones' beautiful computer-boinking Her goes head to head with the third entry in the horror-comedy franchise Ghoulies, and there is a wild connection we found between these films that is nigh unbelievable. Plus: bonus meta-segment "Amazon Corner" where we try and track down a physical copy of the elusive...

In this epi we compare John Sturges' upbeat WWII action thriller with one of the most misguided films we have ever seen, Tiptoes - the movie where Gary Oldman plays a little person. As always, the movies are more similar than you would think! We also discuss other "happy war films", chat about Newman-o's, and Mike tells a story about the time that Roger Ebert insulted him.

This time we are talking about the Billy Wilder-directed, Audrey Hepburn-starrer romantic comedy Sabrina (1954), and comparing it to the non-MCU Spider-man-adjacent superhero action-buddy-comedy" Venom (2018). We also talk about other superhero movies, the nerve-wracking upcoming American election, and whether Venom is all a metaphor for Stan Lee having herpes. We're glad to be back and non-spooky!

Aside from the obvious poo-eating, we discuss the the art of Criterion collecting, what makes a worthy film canon, plus we get down to brass tacks with some obscure horror film recommendations and really nerd out about film directors. It's a great epi and a perfect way to end Spooky Month! Listen to the Criterion Creeps Podcast ...

From Justin to KaneSpooky Month: Cabin in the Woods (2011) with Chris BorgerIn this episode, we have special guest Chris Borger from the Marv n' Berry Podcast to talk with us about one of his favorite spooky flicks, Cabin in the Woods. Appropriately so, we spend most of our time NOT talking about this meta-horror movie and instead talk about our very own podcast on our own podcast- as meta as it gets. We also do a deep dive on Star Wars monkey puppet hype-man Salacious B. Crumb and further explore Bob's mukbang obsession. This is definitely our weirdest episode yet!

We really get in deep about the career of German director Uwe Boll, and Golshan regales us with a story about the time he met Dr. Boll. We also talk about Luke and Golshan's favorite horror films, their favorite basketball films, video game adaptations, Dave Foley's penis, and we really get into an extended tangent about the Ernest P.

Fred Ott's Sneeze, the six-second-long Thomas Edison produced film that features his colleague sneezing is put up against Logan Paul's execrable feature film vehicle (ho ho), Airplane Mode. Can we find that a six second film and a full length movie are the same? You'd be fools to doubt us, is all I will say. This one is a good one if you are at all interested in film history, lots of fun facts as we chart the path from the first entry in the sneezesploitation genre...

We discuss Wong Kar Wai's majestic In The Mood For Love and how it is similar to the fun but terrible Leprechaun 2, also known as "Deucey-Lep". Drinking Game: Take a drink everytime we say "Deucey-Lep".

We watch Lulu Wang's 2019 tribute to her dying grandmother, The Farewell, and (respectfully) find that it is (mostly) the same movie as Andy Sidaris's bonkers action boobsterpiece, Hard Ticket to Hawaii - considered by many to be the #1 B-movie of all time. We also talk about what it takes to make a dinosaur theme park movie, as well as building a treehouse out of human bones (don't worry it makes sense in context).

Most importantly though, we get down to brass tacks about Bob's excessive romantic comedy viewing habits. We talk about what rom-coms Bob has watched during the pandemic (spoiler: a friggen lot), we introduce a new segment "Is it a Rom-Com?", plus Mike quizzes Bob on his rom-com knowledge!

From Justin to KaneThe Godfather (1972) and The Love Guru (2008)In this epi, we watch The Godfather, one of the greatest achievements in American film history, and we compare it to The Love Guru, Mike Myer's cinematic fall from grace. What do these films have in common? Lots! Mostly themed around cultural stereotyping (natch). Plus, Mike regales Bob with movie theatre horror stories, we talk about 1999 (one of the best movie years), and we introduce a new segment: Movie Corner, where we talk about - you guessed it - movies! This is a super fun episode, and our longest yet, so strap in! Follow us on:

It's our first two-parter episode, and it's our first guest! Please give a big generous Kanine welcome to David Berry, the author of "On Nostalgia", a wonderful little book that humorously tackles the subject of nostalgia - what it is, what it was, why we feel it, and is that feeling a good thing or a bad thing... or both?

This is a real doozy of an epi! The male gaze vs. the female gaze! Finally they battle it out!

From Justin to KaneToy Story 4 (2019) and Loqueesha (2019)In probably one of the more bizarre pair-ups, Mike and Bob watch Pixar's most recent sentient plaything sequel, Toy Story 4, and compare it to the trainwreck that is 2019's "comedy" Loqueesha, a film that we decide is, quite frankly, very racist. As always, there are actually quite a few parallels between the two films, and it makes for an interesting discussion that covers a range of topics including comedic intent, colonialism, the patriarchy, and the democratization of film in the modern age. What a duo of films! 2019 was quite the year!

From Justin to KaneCats (2019) and Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)It's our tenth episode! To celebrate ten episodes, we are releasing our most controversial episode yet! Recorded in early January of this year (pre-lockdown), Mike and Bob make the bold assertion that 2019's Cats is a good movie. And we are comparing it to the second Star Wars movie ever released, which we are saying is the bad movie... And no we're not talking about Empire Strikes Back. It's the Star Wars Holiday Special! And yes, we realize this is the second episode in a row where we talk about a Christmas movie... but hey, it's Christmas in July!

Spoiler alert: LOTS. In this episode we watch Werner Herzog's boat-centric adventure film Fitzcarraldo, and compare it to the semi-obscure, semi-straight-to-video holiday stinker Christmas in Wonderland - a movie interesting only because it was filmed right here in our home city of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. In fact, Mike worked on the movie, as a production assistant, and regales Bob with a bevy of stories from the set of this bargain bin Home Alone set in what is...

From Justin to Kane8 1/2 (1963) and Jaws 3-D (1983)Hey Kanines! We're back! In this episode, we watch the iconic and surreal semi-autobiographical journey into Frederico Fellini's navel, 8 1/2, and discover that it is extremely similar to the nautical-horror cash-in sequel Jaws 3-D, a film that we viewed in but two of those three dimensions. That's right, Barbara the Shark is back in yet another Jaws movie! We also share our font knowledge, start another pod beef, and riff out the plot to a meta sci-fi horror masterpiece about a shark in outer space.

What do Andrei Tarkovsky's nearly 4 hour long epic journey into the science fiction post-apocalyptic wasteland and Kevin Smith's nepotistic sausage-fest journey into the wintry wasteland of Winnipeg have in common? A lot, apparently. We also figure out a name for our fans, shill some (fake) merch, and play "When Did They Poop?" where we figure out when the characters in the movies used the bathroom. #afamilyaffair Don't forget to use the promo code "FromJustinToKane"!

If you know anything about Mike, you know he has a deep love of Shrek, so this episode was a real treat. We also try out our best Shrek impressions, we figure out which Shrek character is which Suicide Squad member, and we talk about how we COULD HAVE invented Youtube and Grand Theft Auto... but we were too busy at the time.

In this episode we cover Sidney Lumet’s jury room drama 12 Angry Men, and we find out that it is the same as the mid-90’s feature film adaptation of The Baby-Sitter’s Club. As an added bonus, in the last half of the episode we go through every one of the eponymous angry men and figure out which juror most closely resembles which baby sitter! Riveting stuff!

In this episode we talk about Spike Lee’s second feature film, the incredibly important Do the Right Thing (1989), and we find how it is the same as M. Night Shyamalan’s 2008 mass hysteria the-plants-are-trying-to-kill-us B-movie The Happening.

From Justin to KaneAkira (1988) and A Talking Cat!?! (2013)In this episode, we compare the brilliant 1988 anime film Akira, and A Talking Cat!?! (2013), a children’s film that was directed by a man who is more known for his softcore porn films. Also: the cat is voiced by Eric Roberts. Through discussing the similarities between the two films, we discover that they are both about god-like figures with psychic powers, and both films are existential meditations on world war two that take place in a Shakespearean post-apocalyptic techno-dystopia.

We find an alarming number of similarities between the two films - for example, both are set in Florida, both include characters with political ambitions, and are equally “musicals”. By the end of the episode, we agree that Citizen Kane and From Justin to Kelly are pretty much the same movie! And just a disclaimer: for this first episode, our audio quality is just okay! Do...
