January 20, 2017 05:00 - 31 minutes - 12.7 MB

Oh no. It's the beginning of Up. I know that's where you're supposed to start the movie, but it's so much! Austin and Eric were able to get past it and even watched the whole film to properly review it as part of their Pixar Five. Did the emotions work for them? Was this a villain that Eric liked? Was Dug the dog great or really great? All of these answers and more!   Pixar's Five 1) Toy Story 2) The Incredibles 3) WALL-E 4) Up 5) Inside Out   –Leave us your thoughts on thi...

Episode #38 -- WALL-E

January 13, 2017 05:00 - 32 minutes - 12.9 MB

It's easy to take it for granted, but WALL-E is one of the craziest plots to a kid's movie. Here to break it down is Leigh Montano from The Immortals podcast to join Austin and Eric as they look into this post-apocalyptic trash robot movie. They examine it as a science-fiction film as well as a political film as well as a beautiful comedy. It's one of Leigh's favorite movie but is it enough to break Eric's curse with guests?

It's such a peaceful podcast recording until one of the guys pushes the other out the window. Austin and Eric are here to start their Pixar Five and the only place to start is with one of the most important movies in cinema history.

December 28, 2016 05:00 - 21 minutes - 8.78 MB

Who doesn't love Jimmy Stewart? Austin and Eric look back at what they've seen and all the films they easily could have covered.

Episode #33 -- Winchester '73

December 09, 2016 05:00 - 33 minutes - 13.3 MB

After so many episodes, it's shocking that Austin and Eric haven't covered a western. And what a one to start with. Winchester '73 is a dark film that follows a rifle as it is passed and stolen all while Jimmy Stewart tries to track it down and settle his revenge. It's such an interesting movie, they couldn't do it alone so they brought in acclaimed western writer Johnny D. Boggs to discuss what makes an Anthony Mann western unique and what Jimmy Stewart is like post-World War II.    Jam...

Episode #29 -- Grizzly Man

November 11, 2016 05:00 - 33 minutes - 13.5 MB

Twenty-nine episodes and Austin and Eric finally get to their first documentary. That's completely.....actually that seems about right. And what a documentary to cover.

The guys discuss the different perspectives of Treadwell and how Herzog guides us through the mental arguments of a man who may have had real insight into nature but did not understand t...

Episode #26 -- Aguirre, the Wrath of God

October 21, 2016 04:00 - 33 minutes - 13.4 MB

As everyone knows, the best way to start a new Five is to head straight into madness in the heart of the jungle. At least that's what Austin and Eric think as they begin their Werner Herzog Five with Aguirre, the Wrath of God. It's the story of damned conquistadors who are searching for El Dorado. The film shows Herzog's impressive way of establishing a mood as well as the ability to doubt your own sanity. This film went over so well, one of the two called it one of the best films they've co...

Austin and Eric are doing this podcast for only one reason. Revenge. Oh and to discuss Cate Blanchett as the pregnant reporter in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. So two things.

June 10, 2016 04:00 - 36 minutes - 14.6 MB

Austin and Eric disagree for the first time on the show for Billy Wilder's most cynical film.

Regardless, it's important to talk about when looking at Billy Wilder's canon.    Billy Wilder's Five 1) Ninotchka 2) Sunset Blvd. 3) Ace in the Hole 4) Some Like It Hot 5) Th...
