We were originally going to release this with Infinity War but it would been a monster episode so we decided to split it up. Also we haven't recorded Infinity War yet.

2019 Oscar Previews and Predictions

February 22, 2019 16:30 - 1 hour - 108 MB

It's that time of year again: a time where pretentious Hollywood assholes tell us lowly plebes what movies are worth watching. Connoisseurs of high-minded art that we are, we watched the best picture nominees and talk about them here. We also make predictions about the winners. It's better than the actual Oscar ceremony probably. Hit us up at [email protected]

“Reading is for nerds lol”            -Albert Einstein We’re back at it again, this time talking about their favorite movies based on books we’ve read (pretty sure Sam hasn’t touched fiction novel since the Bush administration), so it’s a very comprehensive list. We also talk about Aquaman and Bird Box (which Kohler rated higher than Aquaman even though it’s shit. Bet you can't guess what movie Sam liked better). Enjoy! 0:00 Holes (but not the movie) 4:08 Bird Box 9:10 Aquaman 19:26 Th...

Do the Raimi Spider-Man Movies Hold Up?

January 27, 2019 21:26 - 58 minutes - 80.7 MB

2018 was one hell of a year for everyone’s favorite wall crawler. Spidey was the emotional core of the year’s biggest movie, the star (and most of the supporting cast) of the best animated feature of the year, and had his own record-breaking video game. We decided to revisit the trilogy that started it all and ask if it holds up as well as we remember. We also touch on the deceptively-named “Amazing” films, Venom, and one of Kohler’s most unexpected favorite movies. Questions, comments, ...
