November 13, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 67.3 MBSeth tackles My Life in Ruins. (but does he?). We get two movies today that are actually not-so-secretly just other movies!! Also, you absolutely have to stick around for the end where we dissect the insanity that is the Teen Choice Awards. Who was the hottest female summer sports action star of 2009? Why are there so many words in that category? You will get no answers to these questions, but you might get goofs.
Ep Spookyvember. Scream.
October 30, 2023 09:00 - 2 hours - 120 MBWe all do Scream. It's become a bit of a tradition to watch a whole horror franchise every October and sort the whole thing out with you all. This year we did Scream and, bafflingly, there's even a TV show!
Ep 267. The Hunger

September 04, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 90.1 MBZak tackles Autofocus. This week Zak struggles through a literal blackout AND this movie! We've got some dubious fake-production companies and some dubious life behaviors!

August 21, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 88.5 MBLee tackles Kingsglaive. Well, sometimes your goofs don't always work out QUITE as planned... today is one of those days. But, I think it ends up just fine in the end. Tune in for a special surprise guest and some shennanigans.

August 07, 2023 09:00 - 2 hours - 107 MBSeth tackles Feast of the Seven Fishes. Sometimes ya just need a little help along the way, and this week is one of those weeks. If you're a fan of buzzsaw sounds or vape-filled mid ep interludes on the Fast saga, you're gonna LOVE this one.

July 24, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 61 MBZak tackles Running Scared. Running? who needs it. Scares? Yes please. Tune in this week for a taste of spooky... and... man, who even knows about the real one!
Ep 260. The Drop
July 10, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 57.2 MBLee tackles The Drop. It's been a bit since we've done a fairly recent movie, so here's one! Hot topics this week... tune in for a wild ride!
Ep 259. Tempo
June 26, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 70.9 MBSeth tackles Tempo. What a fitting episode to have first mentioned and now celebrate the unionization of writers. This week we learn the two extremes of how writing can go -- tune in for a REAL doozy. Legal disclaimer: we side with the French firemen.
Ep 258. Accident Man
June 12, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 49.9 MBZak tackles Accident Man. What a strange movie landscape we find ourselves in these days... sometimes they make baffling choices... and sometimes we do too!
Ep 257. Smoke
May 29, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 73.2 MBLee tackles Smoke. WELL, we beans'ed it. Missed last week... listen, life has been REAL hectic and we just done goofed that one. But hey, the wait is worth it because of three simple words: Stockard. Channing. Eyepatch.
Ep 256. School of Life
May 08, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 75.7 MBSeth tackles School of Life. Did you ever wonder how tall we all are? Well, you're gonna... eh, I dunno, probably suffer through this one, still. CHOO CHOO BAYBEE.
Ep 255. California Split
April 24, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 79 MBZak tackles California Split. Sometimes you have to wonder if your friends are long-form antagonizing you with increasingly stupid titles on the movie podcast you do together. Well, you don't, hopefully... you can just listen to it!
Ep 254. Shattered
April 10, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 63.3 MBLee tackles Shattered. This episode answers that age old question: how far do you let your friend get into ghosts before you have to like... do something. Oh, and all that other stuff we usually do.
Ep 253. Blue Juice
March 27, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 66 MBSeth tackles Blue Juice. Lots of movies have dumb titles, but we've got a real whopper this week. Tune in this week for some sick gnar!
Ep 252. Brewster McCloud
March 13, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 76.3 MBZak tackles Brewster McCloud. This one's been on the docket for a LONG time. We've got an experimental film and a not-so-experimental film this week, and a whole lot of banter about nothing, as usual.
2023 Oscars Special!
February 27, 2023 09:00 - 2 hours - 116 MBThe Oscars are in two weeks, so we're interrupting your regularly scheduled programming for a rambling gab-fest about MOSTLY the best picture noms this year. There's some good and some bad, and an uncharacteristic amount of agreement!
Ep 251. Bait 3D
February 13, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 86.8 MBLee tackles Bait 3D. Well, we really saved y'all some time this week -- rather than watching a movie called "Bait 3D", you can spend strictly MORE time listen to us talk about it! Also, Muppets, so that's pretty dope.
Ep 250. Cha Cha Real Smooth
January 30, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 67.5 MBSeth tackles Cha Cha Real Smooth. We don't usually do new movies... hell, we don't usually do GOOD movies, but sometimes, we make an exception. To celebrate our "we might make it to a thousand in our lifetime" quarter-versary, we went for it.
Ep 249. Barry Lyndon
January 16, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 80.5 MBZak tackles Barry Lyndon. Barry Lyndon is the stuff of legends. Lee has been talking about it for years. Seth was an immediate convert. Zak held out forever, because on paper, this movie sounds horrendous. It is, however, a masterpiece. Run, don't walk, to see Barry Lyndon.
Ep 248. My Blueberry Nights
January 02, 2023 09:00 - 1 hour - 56.8 MBLee tackles My Blueberry Nights. Do you love racing movies as much as we do? Dumb question, everyone does. Well, if that's the case, you're going to love exactly one of this week's movies! And the other one is like... I don't even know, man.
Ep 247. Heartbeeps
December 19, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 87.5 MBSeth tackles Heartbeeps. You're not reading that wrong... this stupid movie is called "Heartbeeps". Dozens of people, decades ago, had the chance to say "hey, that's nothing -- we should really change that," but no one did... so here we are. Poor Seth had to make a movie called "Heartbeeps".
Ep 246. Blame it on Rio
December 05, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 66.8 MBZak tackles Blame it on Rio. We've got two really upsetting movies this week... on one hand we've got a nightmare family, and on the other we've got TWO nightmare families! Super fun stuff.
Ep. 245. The Bad Mother’s Handbook
November 21, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 66.8 MBLee tackles The Bad Mother's Handbook. This "movie" really begs the question -- how loosely CAN one define the term "movie"? There's some not-so-bad moms and there's definitely some books this week.
Ep. 244. State and Main
November 07, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 92.4 MBSeth tackles State and Main. One movie today assumes an "e" at the end of the title, and one doesn't! Tune in for some geography lessons and also learn how NOT to make a movie!
Ep. 243. A Nightmare on Elm Street Spooktacular.
October 24, 2022 09:00 - 2 hours - 107 MBEveryone tackles Freddy. Boy howdy, if you dislike the normal running time of our episodes, you're in for a real treat today! We discuss each and every one of the Nightmare franchise and catch up on new movies from franchises past. There's also TWO bespoke songs for this monumental occasion!
Ep 242. Hamburger: The Motion Picture
October 10, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 82 MBZak tackles Hamburger: The Motion Picture. Just when you thought it couldn't get any stupider... here we are. We've got some teen goof-em-ups and some historical fiction, and just... really the worst title of all time.
Ep 241. Wicker Park
September 26, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 86 MBLee tackles Wicker Park. Boy, we're getting loose. This episode covers a lot of ground and almost none of it is related to either movie. Probably for the best, honestly.
Ep. 240. Sweet Liberty
September 12, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 71.4 MBSeth tackles Sweet Liberty. What do vanity projects and the glass ceiling have in common? That's right, everybody hates them! Tune in this week, while we shatter both.
Ep. 239. Hot Dog...The Movie
August 29, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 65.4 MBZak tackles Hot Dog...The Movie. BOY, what a stupid, stupid title. AN ELLIPSIS. Well, the real movie is a hell of a surprise, and the fake movie is, IDK, at least deals with cased meats a little bit? Also, if you think this is a stupid title, stay tuned for 3 weeks from now... it only gets worse.
Ep. 238. Shallow Grave
August 15, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 62 MBLee tackles Shallow Grave. This week, everybody's digging graves and looking for money. Like, literally, everybody... that's what we're doing this week. Tune in, if you like Trainspotting!
Ep. 237. Identity
August 01, 2022 05:00 - 1 hour - 57.4 MBSeth tackles Identity. Sometimes people aren't quite what they seem... the movies this week take that statement in fairly different directions, both great in their own ways. Tune in for some body horror this week!
Ep.236. Fallen
July 18, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 76 MBZak tackles Fallen. Sometimes when people touch people, weird ghost visages appear... and then sometimes stories get told in an irritatingly backwards fashion. Those have nothing to do with one another, but they DO describe our two stories this week! Tune in for all that business.
Ep. 235. Children?
July 04, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 88.6 MBLee tackles... Children...? Very very very special episode this week... big surprise in the middle... we welcome back an old friend of the show and Lee finds out, much like you, the real title of this movie. Time travel, big swords, The Beef, etc. Do really tune in, it's a wild ride.
Ep. 234 -- Royal Deceit.
June 20, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 65.9 MBSeth tackles Royal Deceit. What an absolute trash title, yet again. It's almost like we've run out of real movies and are now just doing the bottom-of-the-barrel goofers. Well, stuff happens and all that... get into it.
Ep. 233. Peter’s Friends
June 06, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 63.6 MBZak tackles Peter's Friends. What a title... who is Peter? And do we care about his friends? Turns out, we probably do. Tune in this week for some happy friends and some less happy friends (and crimes!)
Faking Movies -- Ep 232. Heart and Souls
May 23, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 69.3 MBLee tackles Heart and Souls. These two movies are just chock-full of death. Some good, some less good, some fun, some not so fun. Tune in for all of it!
Faking Movies -- Ep. 231. I.Q.
May 09, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 61.7 MBSeth tackles I.Q. Where do you put periods when the sentence ends in an abbreviation? Yeah, I dunno either. That's kinda it -- enjoy!!
Faking Movies -- Ep. 230. The Bride
April 25, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 52.1 MBZak tackles The Bride. Such different directions this week... we'll just let it speak for itself, I think? I think we all agree Jennifer Beals needs a mega-comeback.
Faking Movies -- Ep. 229. Byzantium
April 11, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 65.8 MBLee tackles Byzantium. Listen. It's a lot of lip-service... it's a great time. There's like a whole lot of history and some vampire stuff... it's just like... a lot. Tune in, you'll like it.
Faking Movies -- Ep. 228. Peeping Tom
March 28, 2022 09:00 - 58 minutes - 49.6 MBSeth tackles Peeping Tom. This week we've got two movies, but decidedly more than two genres. Honestly, we spend an absurd amount of time talking about our new idiotic t-shirt venture, so it's just all over the place as usual. Enjoy!
Faking Movies -- Ep. 227. My Favorite Year
March 14, 2022 09:00 - 1 hour - 65.6 MBZak tackles My Favorite Year. Religion and booze... that's what we're doing this week. Join us as we goof our way through two very different movies this week!
Faking Movies -- Ep 226. Clip Show!
February 28, 2022 09:00 - 25 minutes - 21.5 MBEveryone tackles attempted humor. Big moves, big life stuff, big clip show. We'll be back with some original lunacy in two weeks, but until then, enjoy this thing!
