Episode 10 - Wild Wild West (1999)
December 11, 2018 04:13 - 40 minutes - 60.4 MBGrab your gun, saddle up, and don't forget your spurs because this week we're goin' back in time to the Wild Wild West. However, we're not going to the "Billy The Kid" era western time, but the Will Smith and Kevin Kline version like the movie of the same name from 1999. This movie definitely has something for everyone; Kevin Kline in drag, Will Smith using a pair of boobs as drums, and of course...a British guy doing a passable southern accent. Y'all gotta tune in and check this one out.
Episode 9 - Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977)
December 04, 2018 03:59 - 47 minutes - 70.6 MB"Help me, John and Brian... You're our only hope!" - We answered the princess's call and reviewed the 1977 blockbuster hit "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope." This is a fine piece of classic cinema that has everything from plucky anthropomorphic robots to awesome space fights, and an epic soundtrack to go with it. This is definitely not one to miss... the force is strong with this one.
Episode 8 - Interstellar (2014)
November 13, 2018 02:39 - 51 minutes - 75.6 MBAlright alright alright, we're donning our spacesuits and getting ready to take a little sojourn through a wormhole on this week's episode as we talk about the 2014 film "Interstellar." This epic saga has it all; books flying off shelves, Anne Hathaway in a non-singing part, and of course, Michael Caine. It doesn't get any better, unless you think Matt Damon randomly showing up makes it better in which case, this movie has that too. Don't just stand there, launch into orbit with us!
Episode 7 - The Princess Bride (1987)
November 06, 2018 03:57 - 45 minutes - 66.7 MBWhat? You've not subscribed to our podcast yet? Inconceivable! On this week's episode we dive into the mythical land of Florin, sworn enemy of the land of Gilder, to learn about the love story between Princess Buttercup and Westley. We're talking, of course, about The Princess Bride from 1987. Whether it's sword fights, quicksand, large rodents, or Fred Savage playing video games, this movie truly has something for everyone. Take a listen, and you'll see how this classic has earned its place...
Episode 6 - Raging Bull (1980)
October 30, 2018 03:44 - 42 minutes - 63.5 MBOn this episode, we step into the ring again, but we're boxing instead of wrestling. We covered "Raging Bull", the iconic film from 1980 in which we see Robert DeNiro pack in the punches, and pack on the pounds. We see him expertly portray prize fighter-turned-lounge-lizard Jake LaMotta, showing us the trials and tribulations of life both inside and out of the ring.
Episode 5 - Persona (1966)
October 09, 2018 03:24 - 42 minutes - 43.7 MBWhat can we say about "Persona"... This movie truly has it all. A (mostly) mute actress, a loquacious nymphomaniac nurse, and a guy that might have shown up for about 2 minutes in the whole movie. It's an art film; it's not for everyone, but if you enjoy this type of thing, you might enjoy this movie. One of us liked it a lot more than the other; take a listen to find out what we thought. Oh yeah, can't forget about the surprise dick.
Episode 4 - The Lion King (1993)
October 02, 2018 03:08 - 32 minutes - 29.7 MBCan You Feel The Love Tonight? We definitely did, when we watched Disney's Oscar-winning film "The Lion King" from 1993. Ever since we picked this movie on the last episode, we wanted to Be Prepared since we're all part of the Circle of Life. Join us as we talk about how young Simba's singer Just Can't Wait To Be King, since young Simba's spoken parts are voiced by somebody else! Funny thing... Jeremy Irons plays Mufasa's brother Scar in this movie, but he (spoiler alert) throws him (Mufasa)...
Episode 3 - The Wrestler (2008)
September 25, 2018 03:58 - 28 minutes - 26.4 MBLets get ready to rumble! In this episode we checked out a dramatic tale of a retired wrestler who was coming to realize life outside the ring felt like getting smacked in the face with a metal chair. Join us as we talk about the staples getting yanked out of Mickey Roarke's back and the pole-dancing abilities of the lovely Marisa Tomei.
Episode 2 - Dennis The Menace (1993)
September 11, 2018 03:31 - 34 minutes - 31.6 MBJohn and Brian kick off this season's podcast series with a look at the Blockbuster smash hit, "Dennis the Menace" from 1993. We talked about Walter Matthau's crotchety attitude, Christopher Lloyd's burnt body parts, and of course, little Dennis' shenanigans. Can you think of a better thing to listen to while on the treadmill, doing laundry, or driving to work?
