Brunch Movies
131 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 2 years ago - ★★★★★ - 14 ratingsDave and Andy set out to find out which movies are “brunchy” and which movies are not. This twisted take on the movie review podcast may quickly move from mocking serious criticism and the art of film to propaganda for the people seizing brunch from the bourgeois class.

Season 4: The Epic Wrap Up
March 13, 2022 08:44 - 1 hour - 79.6 MBWouldn't be Brunch Movies epic season without at least one epic delay! So here it is nearly 3 and a half months in the making: the season 4 finale. The brunch boys take a look at the Brunch Menu and see if any new favourite make the exclusive club. We dole out some awards in this years' Brunchies. And of course, we take a look at our declining listener numbers (which surely is due to the Joe Rogan Spotify boycott). With babies on the way this might be the last you hear from us for a while (o...
S4E24 Christmas Special 2022: It's a Wonderful Life
December 25, 2021 11:41 - 36 minutes - 41.4 MBIts that gay old time of year (Christmas) and we're talking about being happy. Happy Christmas, as the brits say. This is the Christmas movie that wasn't but became a Christmas movie because PBS was too poor to play any films whose intellectual property hadn't become public domain. Come get your wings by ringing the Brunch Bell or jingle bells if you have 'em.
S4E23 Avatar: The one WITH airbending
December 20, 2021 10:42 - 1 hour - 92.7 MBThe elemental and epic season comes to a close and we welcome editor Jack aka Jedi to help us out. We revisit M. Knight Shyamalan's un-classic Avatar; based on a children's cartoon...brought to life as a child's nightmare. Will Aang master the elements? When will the Jungle season premier?
S4E22 2001: A Space Odyssey
December 13, 2021 22:24 - 41 minutes - 47.6 MBWe made it to the final episode of the epic season, filled with movies of epic length (Lawrence of Arabia), epic scale (Lord of the Rings), epic romance (Titanic) and epic stupidity (The Snyder Cut). We thought we had fully explored all the elements (say em with me...) but we had forgot to ponder the absence of all elements: the Space Element.
S4E21 The Godfather
December 06, 2021 04:48 - 42 minutes - 48.1 MBThis is Scorcese's finest film, the epic mafia movie that started it all! Is the the podcast episode you can't refuse to listen to? Don't wait for a horse head to be delivered to your bed to find out.

November 21, 2021 10:41 - 59 minutes - 68 MBWorse than Justice League: The Snyder Cut better than the actual events of 9/11 a movie no one asked for and no one enjoyed. The brunch boys get loose as we talk through the ups and down of WW2, some conspiracies and the origins of Ska!
S4E18 Dune
November 15, 2021 07:40 - 55 minutes - 63.5 MBIts Dune the biggest movie of the year, and maybe the greatest sand film of all time? Well we don't go that far, but file this under the sand element you Avatar heads (the air-bending one). I like my brunch with a bit of spice, and a body shield. The slow blade may pierce, but you'll want to hurry to your record players to hear the Brunch Boys break down this film!
S4E17 Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
November 07, 2021 09:59 - 34 minutes - 39.5 MBWhen we say we're back, we're actually back. The epic season continues with a maybe not so epic movie...but we do master the element of Air and thus complete our Avatar training (the one with air bending).
S4E16 Reign of Fire
October 31, 2021 09:36 - 44 minutes - 51 MBDave and Andy aka the Brunch Boys are back, and nothing could be scarier than that. Dragons! Fire! Matthew McConaughey! This is as halloweeny as we got. We missed you and we hope to be back for the rest of the year! But don't hold us to it.
S4E15 Avatar (but the one without airbending)
July 31, 2021 21:52 - 1 hour - 71.7 MBDave and Andy are confused over which is the real Avatar, and they take a break to watch Gravity. That is to say this episode is typically meandering. Does the most popular movie of all time equal brunchiness? Find out on this week's episode!
S4E14 Waterworld
July 25, 2021 22:19 - 53 minutes - 61.4 MBKevin Costner does have gills in this one! Flop like a fish? Or flop like a Flintstone? We get into Pangaea and why no one ever talks about the Panthassic ocean.
S4E13 Black Widow
July 18, 2021 00:57 - 57 minutes - 65.6 MBThe blacker the widow the sweeter the juice. The MCU is back baby, but Dave is high from getting dose 1 of the COVID vaccine so he's too busy for the podcast. Andy enlists his old pal Mike to talk about the lastest epic in the Avengers saga. Lots of bits and free flowing conversation, and we may mention the film a bit.
S4E12 Titanic wsg Dave Sr
July 10, 2021 04:33 - 1 hour - 69.2 MBGreatest love story ever told or ship sinking slowly? And we're just talking about Dave and is Papa. James Cameron makes a billion and we watch it fall to the bottom of the ocean.
S4E11 The Snyder Cut
July 03, 2021 05:26 - 1 hour - 99.6 MBThis was a movie that people wanted I guess? We're not sure if Batman was in it, but we are sure glad its over. Future Todd swings by to tell us the film was actually good and we have a real comic book expert Brandon aka Professor Xeeps!
S4E10 The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
June 27, 2021 02:19 - 52 minutes - 59.8 MBIn season 3 we complete the epic trilogy of doing that thing with the ring. We're kind of out of takes, so we dip into the Lore Drawer. Dave learns about the Ainur.

We admire various war cries from across the realm and ponder whether horses are actually good. But is meat back on the brunch menu? Find out as the epic season continues.
S4E8 The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
June 12, 2021 06:16 - 48 minutes - 56 MBWith Andy moving to Middle Earth, the brunch boys figure they should travel from one town (the shire) to another town (mordor) and log all their breakfasts, second breakfasts, elevenzies, dinners and suppers along the way. In examining the first in this classic Peter Jackson trilogy, Dave and Andy grapple with who's their perfect huMANoid, how easily canceled Tolkien is, and figure out where it ranks among fantasy epics and brunch movies
S4E8 LOTR Fellowship of the Ring
June 12, 2021 06:16 - 48 minutes - 56 MBWith Andy moving to Middle Earth, the brunch boys figure they should travel from one town (the shire) to another town (mordor) and log all their breakfasts, second breakfasts, elevenzies, dinners and suppers along the way.

We catch up with G-D, Ramses, Moses and Dathan (all you favourites from the Jewish Bible aka Torah). Is religion brunch? Or are our sinful ways of early morning boozing doom us to burn with the bushes?
S4E5: Cloud Atlast (Not Another Coup d'Todd)
May 21, 2021 19:23 - 1 hour - 78.6 MBJon here again. Still no sign of Dave or Andy from their desert adventure but the Brunch Movies brain trust has the future of the show well in hand. In this episode Todd and I painstakingly reconstruct the lost episode of Cloud Atlas, feed my new podcasting algorithm some new takes and cakes of our own, and discuss the future of the show and how this is definitely not another coup, it's completely sanctioned and a legitimate episode. Todd swears to God. Swears to me!
S4E4 Lawrence of Arabia
April 24, 2021 01:57 - 51 minutes - 59.3 MBHey this is Jon. In the dark again. Not sure the whereabouts of Dave or Andy but their last known recording was the greatest movie... maybe even the greatest brunch movie ever made. I know they went to the desert to record this and managed to get it to me to edit but damn... I hope they're alright. I also hope Todd's not involved again. Anyway, here's your latest Brunch Movies episode in the most epic of seasons!

Get well soon, Andy! Dave. Love and champagne kisses! -Todd
S3E17 Jerry Maguire wsg. Dave's Dad!
December 12, 2020 05:29 - 1 hour - 75.1 MBAgents are cool. Tom Cruise is cool. Brunch is cool. When chick flick meets entourage movie magic is made.

S3E8 Parasite
June 12, 2020 16:43 - 43 minutes - 49.7 MBThis movie isn't in English. Meaning the brunch boys had to read in order to process this film. And like your brunch menus we recommend that your movies are in English. This also won best picture at an award's show called the Oscars, and Trump said Gone with the Wind should have won so maybe we should have watched that instead? Anyway, beware of birds.

June 06, 2020 02:01 - 45 minutes - 52.5 MBWhen explaining the concept of the podcast the most frequently asked question is "you mean like breakfast at tiffany's?" No that's not what we mean, except in this episode. Find out if racism can be brunchy, as we go back in time.

S3E5 Mean Girls

S3E4 Twins
May 16, 2020 07:00 - 46 minutes - 53.4 MBTwo twins! Who is sexier Danny DeVito or Arnold Schwarzeneggar? Is eugenics good and do bald white men really have the best genes? We answer all your questions and more as we revisit the classic comedy Twins. Get ready to hear a lot about the male body, and also John Travolta's "wife."
S3E3 Spiderman: Far From Home
May 08, 2020 14:07 - 1 hour - 88.3 MBA podcast we recorded before this movie was released in the US, but released after the movie has been on DVD for 6 months. Also, we rank the entire MCU in terms of brunchiness! This should tide our fellow brunch avengers over until phase 4 begins.
S3E2 The Mighty Mighty Ducks
May 01, 2020 16:09 - 43 minutes - 50.1 MBEMILIO! So nice we had to feature him twice. Dave and Andy reminisce about Red Wings games of yore and debate whether drunk driving makes you a better sports coach. We go deep on the origins of "cake-eater" and step in to the directors corner to show how the Hawks / Ducks rivalry impacted more than just the greater Minneapolis area. Whether you'd rather win or quack, you're bound to enjoy this episode!

April 24, 2020 17:24 - 1 hour - 127 MBNOTE: this is intended to be listened to while watching The Breakfast Club.

This one is for the true fans since you have to actually watch the movie AND listen to Dave and Andy bullshit for nearly 2 hours. Bonus: Andy's wife H...
S1E3 Babe

S1E5 Friday
April 22, 2020 09:55 - 29 minutes - 58 MBAndy and Dave discuss the cultural importance and relevancy of the movie Friday with all the delicacy it requires from two white guys. Such as: is Friday just Ferris Bueller minus white privilege? This release coinciding with a certain substance becoming legal in California has absolutely no relation.
S1E7 Jungle 2 Jungle
April 22, 2020 07:58 - 24 minutes - 28.6 MBAndy and Dave venture from the concrete jungle all the way to the real jungle, back to the concrete jungle and yet back again to the real jungle.
