Go Flix YourselfEpisode 245 - Wahlburger Sauce and Gerbil NipplesBen, Brad, and Nate almost had an episode where everything went perfectly fine. But then Ben flat out forgot his assignment, Brad was wrongfully accused of confusing Soul Plane and Soul Train, and Nate kept waffling between supporting Ben or Brad at the worst times. That might sound like a normal episode, but just wait until Wahlburgers comes up in conversation. Anyway, Brad watched The Devil's Advocate, Nate watched A Working Man, and Ben watched a bunch of crap. Plus, we talk about the trailers for Fantastic Four: The First Steps (GALACTUS!), Him (FOOTBALL!), and Weapons (THE CHILDREN!). Let's g...2025-04-231h 27

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 244 - Ballistic: Oil vs WaterBen, Brad, and Nate are ready to celebrate Easter, even though two-thirds of them don't really know all that much about when it took place. But that's why Pastor Nate is here, to keep them out of hell. Yes, Nate brought an Easter-themed movie game, and Ben defends friend-of-the-pod Mike Flores to the death after a revelation about a terrible oil accident comes to light. But Brad won't let him off the hook so easily. Anyway, Nate watched Novocaine, Brad saw Captain America: Brave New World and Sinners, and Ben watched Zathura, and a bunch of other c...2025-04-161h 27

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 242 - El Leprechauno MexicanoBen, Brad, and Nate are finally back together after Ben and Nate left Brad behind while they went on a vacation. Not together. But that didn't stop them from kissing. Anyway, we're back with a new episode, and we've all seen some movies! Well, Ben and Brad have anyway, and Nate was kinda slacking with just one new film called Sacramento.Meanwhile, Ben and Brad saw The Electric State and Flow and a few others. Ben wouldn't let Brad talk about The Pitt, though, which is excellent. Plus, we talk about the trailers for One Battle After...2025-04-031h 24

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 241 - Beaver NuggetsBen, Brad, and Nate know that you've been craving some Beaver Nuggets, so that's what you're getting. If you don't know what that means, you'll find out soon enough. We're back! And believe it or not, Ben finally watched his assignment, and he officially protected the First Kid. Meanwhile, Nate finally caught up with Wicked, Brad watched some old favorites, and now you know the rest of the story. Nate brought a game, and it might be the worst one yet, because it's a prank on Brad. Oh yeah, it was sooooo funny. Hilarious, guys. Anyway, we also watched...2025-03-191h 12

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 240 - I Just Saw Halley’s CometBen, Brad, and Nate know what the people want, and it's early chatter about Shinedown. But it's not all about America's 136th best alternative rock band, because this is a movie podcast. Thankfully, Brad and Nate are very professional, and they each watched their assignments, which includes a tale of Biblical proportions and a guy who does the numbers... lethally. Ben didn't watch his assignment, and he's been stealing treats from kids. For those of you who like the new shenanigans of games at the front half of the episode, Nate has a terrible one for you! Plus, we t...2025-03-041h 19

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 239 - Red Hulk's LipstickBen, Brad, and Nate are gonna try to keep this momentum going, even though they've been terrible about assignments lately. But they promise they're gonna get back to it. Anywhoozle, Ben and Nate watched over The Gorge! Then Ben spent some time with Wallace & Gromit, and Nate played football with 12 Mighty Orphans. Meanwhile, Brad learned Where the Crawdads Sing and spent some time in The Pitt, which is a TV show, and Ben just has to deal with it. Ben and Nate forced their games into the front of the episode again, but at least they're fun. Finally, we...2025-02-261h 09

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 238 - Ben Got a Convertible from TemuBen, Brad, and Nate are sorry they were gone for so long. There's a nasty sickness going around everywhere, and Nate didn't get it because of his pact with Jesus, but Ben and Brad were down for the count. So we cut endless coughs out of this podcast from them, just so you didn't have to hear it. That means you get to hear Nate talk about watching a straight-to-video American Pie spin-off, Ben whining about his cold Florida vacation, and Brad taking To Catch a Predator to task, thanks to a Sundance documentary. Plus, there's a fun coming-of-age...2025-02-191h 14

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 237 - Brittney Spills the Tea (featuring Jason Statham)Ben, Brad, and Nate are still here, and they're not the only ones. Brad's fiancée Brittney is back in the area, and she's got all the tea about a certain Hollywood gossip story. But she also has a pretty great Jason Statham voice, as you'll hear when Nate and Ben force a game to happen early on in the episode again. Brad can't fight back much, because he hasn't seen a lot of new movies other than Fly Me to the Moon, but Ben certainly has, including a documentary about Gene Wilder. Meanwhile, Nate actually sought out a horr...2025-01-311h 35

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 236 - Shining Time Station: World War IIBen, Brad, and Nate know you've been desperate for 2025 to get a little more crazy, and there's plenty of that in this episode. Not only does Ben immediately derail the start of the show, but he also gets confused about actors, though not as confused as Nate was about Morgan Freeman Denzel Washington being in Gladiator II. Brad also yawns in this episode. As for the movies they've seen, we don't want to spoil the mystery, but honestly, Brad forgot what movies we talked about, and he's too lazy to go back and check. But that's not all! Because...2025-01-161h 48

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 235 - C'mon Now, Chastity, Get to Readin'Ben, Brad, and Nate are back for 2025! Just when you thought time had slowed them down, they're back. And to make up for their lack of a New Year's episode, it's a SUPER-SIZED EPISODE! Don't get too excited though, because besides talking about movies like Nosferatu, A Complete Unknown, Y2K, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and some documentary about shopping conspiracies, we also have quite a talk about artificial intelligence, and Ben takes a hard stance against reading. This episode has more than a few detours, but Nate also brought a fun game! But despite having such a long e...2025-01-082h 09

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 234 - A Genuine Thanks to Nate But Only from BradBen, Brad, and Nate are wrapping up the Christmas season (no pun intended) with a dose of holiday fun! They've all been watching Christmas movies like A Christmas Story, Red One, and That Christmas. But on top of that, all three of them also watched Carry-On, which is basically the new Die Hard (though not quite as good). Brad has also been watching a few other things, but Ben is really excited about his thoroughly inappropriate streaming series that he can't get enough of. Plus, we talk about the trailers for Karate Kid: Legends (STARRING FAMED IMPROVISER RALPH MACCHIO...2024-12-241h 16

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 233 - Go Piss YourselfBen, Brad, and Nate are feeling festive and fun, and guest Teresa Ruminski, who has a history with Ben that we've hilariously discussed before, is joining them! Nate is back with a slew of Christmas movies he watched, and Ben has been digging into some holiday classics like Christmas Vacation and Scrooged (for the first time?!). Meanwhile, Brad is immersing himself in cinema before the end of the year gets here, with movies like A Different Man, The Apprentice, The Order, and Juror #2. Also, Teresa watches ski films and buried the lede on a holiday favorite. No trailers this...2024-12-111h 25

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 232 - Mud and the WindBen, Brad, and Nate are back, and all they are is dust in the wind. But they also love movies, and they have no idea what mud is really made out of at all. Nate finally watched his assigned movie, which he loved, and he also watched some Christmas movies. Ben is catching up his boys on the Harry Potter franchise, and he had a fright with Alien: Romulus. Finally, Brad, went on a trip with Will & Harper, took The Substance, and hung out with some Sweethearts. Plus, we talk about the trailers for Snow White (HI-NOOOOOO!) and Elio (NO...2024-12-051h 28

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 231 - Gratuitous Shots of IntercourseBen, Brad, and Nate are well-rested after a forced break due to the poor scheduling of someone who shall not remain nameless, because it was Ben! Anywhoozle, Charlie Young joins us on the podcast again, and we've all been watching some movies! Nate is getting in the Christmas spirit with The Merry Gentleman, and he also celebrated the New Year by watching Y2K with Brad and meeting Kyle Mooney. Meanwhile, Brad has been hitting up movie theaters for Anora, Moana 2, and much more! Ben pretends to be angry about watching Once, but he loved it. And Charlie experienced S...2024-11-271h 25

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 230 - SuckafishBen, Brad, and Nate are in a new podcast studio! And it's a shitty basement with wasps! Ben is in a new house, Brad did an edible, and the podcast mixes things up by starting off with two games! Brad has been to the theater a bunch of times to see stuff like Here, Conclave, and Gladiator II, and Ben has issues with where Brad puts hands on his own body. Nate stopped by the Snack Shack, but has been more busy in The West Wing. Ben said Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, and he also hung out with Harold and the...2024-11-131h 41

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 229 - The Crow(s)Ben, Brad, and Nate recorded this before the election, so don't mistake their fun for happiness. Anyway. Brad catches up with an assignment he forgot to talk about last time, and he also goes to war with We Were Soldiers. Nate spent some time with John Travolta as an angel, and Ben wasn't in the mood for a beautiful drama like Brooklyn. Meanwhile, neither Nate nor Brad were impressed with Venom: The Last Dance, but Brad saw one of the best movies of the year, even if Nate and Ben didn't like the artsy teaser trailer that was released fo...2024-11-061h 30

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 228 - Marisa Tomei's Masturbatory MonkeyBen, Brad, and Nate are finishing off spooky season with a whimper. While Brad has kept on enjoying Friday the 13th and is moving into the Nightmare on Elm Street franchise to lead into Freddy vs Jason, Nate was too scared to complete his assigned movie. But Ben definitely watched his assignment, and just hearing him talk about it is a treat in itself. Plus, Brad saw Smile 2, Nate cried through The Wild Robot and found some new Brothers in Josh Brolin and Peter Dinklage. Unfortunately, Brad totally forgot to talk about his assignment, so he'll get that on...2024-10-231h 17

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 227 - Fats and the PastorBen, Brad, and Nate are on a pretty good run. Well, a brisk walk, anyway. It's about time everyone watched their assignments and had a good time doing so. Ben got abducted by aliens (No One Will Save You) and argued with his girlfriend about how to watch movies, Nate went to the future and tried to capture Simon Phoenix (Demolition Man), and Brad broke out of prison and got revenge (The Count of Monte Cristo). Besides that, Brad is really the only one taking the art of movies (and TV) seriously, as you'll hear in this episode. But t...2024-10-151h 28

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 226 - GornBen, Brad, and Nate are feeling those fall vibes. By that, I mean the number of movies that some of the people on the podcast have watched has taken a drastic fall. Like, we're talking a Tears in Heaven kind of tumble. Ben somehow wasn't impressed by Tootsie, but he had fun watching Disney's Hercules, so whatever. Brad spent some time with Trey Parker and Matt Stone as they tried to fix Casa Bonita in a new documentary, and he got into spooky season with a couple of new horror movies and threw it back to the '90s w...2024-10-101h 24

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 225 - The New Season (Now with Batgirl)Ben, Brad, and Nate sat in a room and talked about movies, okay? They also chat about a bunch of other stuff too, like Funyuns. I don't need to tell you that Ben didn't watch his assigned movie because you can just assume it at this point. But he did watch all of the Vince McMahon docuseries, so that's cool, I guess? Meanwhile, Nate watched The 'Burbs, and Brad watched Little Shop of Horrors from 1986. Plus, it's the spooky season, and The Invisible Man is cuckoo. We also talk about the trailers for Ballerina (A JOHN WICK S...2024-10-021h 28

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 224 - Is There a Giant?Ben, Brad, and Nate are back to their regularly scheduled podcasting. But here's the thing, Ben and Nate are a little rusty with their assignments. Of course, it's a whole thing with Ben as to why he didn't watch his movie, but somehow still had time to watch four hours of a TV docuseries about American Gladiators. Meanwhile, Nate watched a movie with Denzel Washington but didn't watch the right one with Denzel Washington. However, Brad came through with flying colors by watching two assignments, going to the theater four times, and watching a horror classic and an indie...2024-09-251h 40

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 223 - Jacky Dan and Pumpkin Spice SocksFolks, Ben, Brad, and Nate are finally back. We know it's been a long delay, and all we can do is highlight how much we have to blame Ben's awful health. But the good news is that we've seen a bunch of movies, including our assignments, and Alex Pappas is here to join in the fun! Ben has certainly been busy, watching the likes of Falling Down, The Birdcage, Mr. Deeds, and his long-assigned movie What If. Meanwhile, Nate re-watched 50/50 and checked off his assignment of Bad Words. Finally, Brad has been theater hopping to catch Beetlejuice Be...2024-09-182h 07

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 222 - The Soap Guy and the MothmanBen, Brad, and Nate are back, but here's the thing: two of these guys are total failures on this podcast. Not only did Ben fail to watch his assignment from two weeks ago, but he also failed to give Nate a movie to watch. But that's not all because Nate didn't go out of his way to ensure Ben gave him one. Thankfully, Cameron Jones is on the show, and he’s seen movies like Green Room and Pirates of the Caribbean. Meanwhile, Brad is a beautiful, sweet angel full of love for cinema. Ben watched stuff li...2024-08-211h 33

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 221 - ShureBen, Brad, and Nate are talking about motion pictures again, and this time, they've all seen Deadpool & Wolverine. In fact, they brought Charlie Young back, and he's also seen it! We take a deep dive into the sequel Nate backs the wrong multiverse movie. Brad is the only one who understands what the Multiverse saga means, and everyone enjoys Funnel Cake Balls. There's no Trailer Time because we decided to catch up on a bunch of movies, like M. Night Shyamalan's Trap, Gladiator, The Bikeriders, Miami Vice, Godzilla x Kong, and many more! It's a regular movie bonanza! Crank u...2024-08-061h 18

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 220 - Hot Dog HandshakeBen, Brad, and Nate got caught up in the Twisters! That's right, we all entered the Suck Zone, and there was imminent rueage. So many movies, so little time. Brad's been hitting the theater for some Longlegs and hung out with Deadpool & Wolverine (don't worry, no spoilers), Ben got his ankles hit by a sledgehammer with Misery, and Nate made Contact with science and faith. However, Paul Scheer may be the man who tears them apart. We also reluctantly discuss the trailer for Joker: Folie à Deux (FOIE GRAS!). Plus, we have 2.5 games for you! How's that for fun?! Who's r...2024-07-251h 26

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 219 - Hooey Hooey HoooooBen, Brad, and Nate are really on a roll lately, eh? Well, this week, they tried something new by taking on an assignment from a listener. That's right, one of our loyal listeners assigned us a film that none of us had seen. It's a western called Silverado! But that's not all, because Brad took a trip back to the 1980s for a couple of throwbacks with the Brat Pack and Michael J. Fox. Nate also watched Hot Rod for the first time! And Ben barely finished Silverado, but at least he watched Blues Brothers 2000, since we all did t...2024-07-171h 27

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 217 - One-Eye Konowitz and No IncomeBen, Brad, and Nate are getting a little self-indulgent with a big 4th of July blowout! That means this episode is much longer than usual, just because we couldn't help it. Also, it could have been even longer, but we spared you a very long, boring court story from Nate. You're welcome. But there are some fun edits in here because of it. Join us as we talk about The Long Kiss Goodnight, A Time to Kill, and both Alien and Aliens, which made Nate very scared of space again, and maybe a little bit of TV too. Plus, i...2024-07-031h 45

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 216 - Do You Guys Like Tom Skerritt?Ben, Brad, and Nate are cracking up in this episode, but what else is new? Ben is living life on the Edge of Seventeen, Brad learned some lessons from Morgan Freeman, and even though Nate went to the theater, he ignored an assignment given to him live on air and opted to just go on living his life. Shame. Thankfully, he makes up for it by calling out Ben on his hypocrisy. Meanwhile, Brad did an edible, so he's having a good time. Plus, we talk about the trailers for Nosferatu (THE STREETS!), The Penguin (TAKE IT EASY, SWEETHEART...2024-06-261h 35

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 215 - KahootsBen, Brad, and Nate are on a roll, but that doesn't mean they won't betray each other. This episode is full of switching sides and double-crossing. Are those the same thing? Yep, but it sounds more dramatic this way. Ben can't stop interrupting Nate. Brad goes to Pixar and puts his voice into Inside Out 2, and Nate loves talking about his gorlfrund (and no, that's not a typo, trust me). Ben watched Wes Anderson's first movie, Brad saw Ben as an Irish cop, and Nate skipped his assignment to listen to kids scream. Also, if you love tac...2024-06-191h 24

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 214 - Cookie Goblin Does Sound Pretty GoodBen, Brad, and Nate are back, and this episode takes a turn almost immediately. We're not sure if it's a surprise reference to an infamous figure from World War II or Nate trying to knock Bruce Willis down a peg, but there's much to process in this episode. Thankfully, we also talk about some movies, like Bad Boys: Ride or Die, Four Rooms, 12 Monkeys, and The Brothers Bloom, just to name a few. Plus, we talk about the trailers for Alien: Romulus (LET'S HUG FACES!), Venom: The Last Dance (SYMBIOTE HORSE!) and Bookworm (ADVENTURE! WHIMSY! ELIJAH WOOD!). ...2024-06-121h 28

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 213 - It's Not Bugs the BunnyBen, Brad, and Nate aren't skipping a week this time! Not only are they back in the habit, but they've been seeing movies! Wow! Ben and Brad saw Furiosa, and our guest Luke Starkey also joined them! But that's not all, because Luke has been watching some movies, like Abigail, which totally whips. Not to be outdone, Nate watched a fantastic little movie called Colossal. Plus, we watch the trailers for Moana 2 (YOU'RE NOT WELCOME!) and Wolfs (OCEAN'S DEAD BODY FIXERS!). Be sure to listen out for our subtle Woody Woodpecker impressions! Are you ready to get...2024-06-041h 32

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 211 - Sensitive, Stand-Up-ish NipplesBen, Brad, and Nate are here, and wouldn't you know it, they've gone and watched some movies. Nate went all in with Rounders. Brad is interested in running drugs after The Mule, and Ben chuckled and buckled at Anyone But You, but he neglected to watch his latest assignment because, of course, he did. Alex Pappas is also here, and he's been soaking up the last breath of DC Comics movies before James Gunn takes over. We've also seen some other good stuff, like Monkey Man, Abigail, and Challengers. Plus, we talk about the trailer for Deadpool...2024-05-011h 24

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 210 - You Guys Wanna Go Downtown?Ben, Brad, and Nate are sorry they took a break, but they've made up for it having a good time talking about movies, which they've never done before. Ben is back to skipping assignments and there are no extenuating circumstances whatsoever, but he still watched stuff like Star Wars. Meanwhile, Brad and Nate watched their assignments, which include surviving in space and ballet dancing. Plus, journey with us as we talk about the trailers for Joker: Folie a Deux (HA HA LAND!), Transformers One (AUTOBOTS, ROLL OUT AND DON'T COME BACK), and M. Night Shyamalan's Trap (WHAT...2024-04-241h 07

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 209 - Drogas y Películas y Mùsica y TostadasBen, Brad, and Nate are back together, and they have watched movies or películas. Ben stopped his vagabonding just long enough to watch the masterpiece Cat in the Hat and record a new episode. Nate has been spending some time watching Mùsica, which might not make sense at first, but you'll understand. Meanwhile, Brad is finally on the Sydney Sweeney bandwagon after seeing Immaculate and remembering that she was in Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood. Plus, we watch the trailers for Unfrosted (HEAT'EM UP, EAT'EM UPS!) and Bad Boys: Ride or Die (JOEY PANTS!). We hope yo...2024-04-101h 00

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 207 - Hey, You Got Hot Sauce on My Shoes!Ben, Brad, and Nate love movies, and movies love them back. This week, on a very special episode, Ben didn't watch his assigned movie again, and he has the nerve to tell Brad that his Christopher Walken impression isn't very good, even though he wasn't trying to do an impression of Christopher Walken. Shame. Thankfully, we get back on track with some other movie chatter about Teen Wolf, The Craft, and Boiler Room again somehow because Nate can't read or remember things. Plus, we talk about the trailers for Garfield (HE'S NOT NAMED LASAGNA!), Bikeriders (IT'S A VOICE-OFF!), and C...2024-03-061h 11

They discussed their roles in the city, annexation in Indiana, and the challenges and opportunities they see moving forward for the city. Nate also spoke with Erik Nelson, the Workforce Development Coordinator for LaPorte...2024-03-0548 min

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 206 - Time ChangeBen, Brad, and Nate! You know them, you love them, or at least you tolerate them. Well, would you believe they've done another podcast episode where they talk about movies, make inappropriate jokes, and generally mess about? This time, we're talking about some assigned movies like The Lake House and Boiler Room, except for Ben, because he spat in the face of Nate's assignment like an indignant little boy. Just listen and you'll hear what happened. We also talk about the trailers for Kevin Costner's Horizon: An American Saga (PART 1 OF 32!) and Borderlands (SUICIDE SQUAD OF THE GALAXY!), and B...2024-02-281h 13

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 204 - Madame Dark Web's Super Bowl PartyBen, Brad, and Nate were ready for some football, and they got it. The Super Bowl was on Sunday, and that means a bunch of new trailers hit the web, and we're talking about a bunch of them. We've got Monkey Man (DEV PATEL CAN GET IT!) Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (NOT MONKEY MAN!), Wicked (DEFYING GRAVITY!), Deadpool and Wolverine (MOUTHY!), and Twisters (TWISTY!). Plus, Nate finally watched Looper, Ben did something with his damn treasure hunt and didn't watch his assignment, and Brad witnessed the majesty of Madame Web. Let us...2024-02-141h 10

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 203 - A Reverse Wizard SleeveBen, Brad, and Nate have reunited! It's been a few weeks, but Ben is over Covid, Brad is back from London, and Nate has been waiting forever for things to get back to normal. They've watched a bunch of movies too! Ben caught up with The Holdovers and The Beekeeper, and both Brad and Nate saw Argylle. Plus, Brad caught a few Sundance movies, and Nate has been watching a TV show, but it's okay, because it was previously a movie too. Since Brad went across the pond, you know he's got a very British sponsor, so put on...2024-02-071h 16

Go Flix YourselfEpisode 202 - Nate vs Ben-ator (and Brad)Ben, Brad, and Nate are fighting. Well, not the whole time, but let's just say that someone still didn't watch their assigned movie from a few weeks ago, and surprisingly, it wasn't Ben. That unnamed criminal goes on a rant that takes up some runtime, but both he and his accusers want you to make sure you heard it all. Ben talks about movies like Sympathy for the Devil and Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. Brad caught American Fiction and The Zone of Interest, as well as Marvel's Echo and Peacock's Ted series. Nate didn't watch Looper (whoops!) but...2024-01-171h 32

Go Flix YourselfGo Flix Yourself - This is Not Really the 200th EpisodeBen, Brad, and Nate are finishing out 2023, but certainly not in a strong way. Nate didn't watch his assignment, Ben still isn't finishing movies, and it seems like Brad is the only one who cares about cinema because not only did he watch his assigned holiday movie, but he caught up with some buzzed-about awards contenders. Did I mention there are two sponsors in this episode? Plus, we talk about the trailers for IF (WHAT IF THIS LOOKED GOOD?! AMIRITE?!) and Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F (AXEL FOURLEY WAS RIGHT THERE!).

Movie and Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One, but he also saw Silent Night with Brad. Nate also enjoyed an unconventional Christmas movie in Spencer, and Ben got in the holiday spirit by LOVING The Family Stone. Look at all those movies!
