August 04, 2021 05:00 - 1 hour - 52.2 MBMovie of the Year: 1975 Mixtape The Taste Buds make a playlist of all the funky jams of 1975! 1975 was a weird time, in both the world at large and the world of music. If you look at the top of the Billboard chart, it's a who's-who of pee-yew: stinky, that is. But the Billboard charts of the time are a lot like a slice of anchovy pizza: gross at the top yet better the lower you go. Is that even a thing anymore, anchovy pizza? We got so riled about the whole pineapple pizza quagmire, but d...

1975 - Mirror
July 22, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 74 MBMovie of the Year: 1975 Mirror Mirror is the most obscure movie of our 1975 season, but does it have what it takes to win Movie of the Year?

Fun, easy-peasy, and probably more rewarding. Also, listening to our podcast will help you to sound smart about Mirror because you can make fun of our opinions. In this episode we discuss ho...

1975 - Jaws
July 02, 2021 06:00 - 1 hour - 60.5 MBMovie of the Year: 1975 Jaws Jaws is the biggest movie of 1975, but does it have what it takes to win Movie of the Year! Jaws is called the first blockbuster because of its mass appeal and wide release, not to mention the eponymous chompers of the star of the picture, Jaws himself.

June 17, 2021 20:00 - 1 hour - 80.4 MBMovie of the Year: 1975 Barry Lyndon The Taste Buds take on the first movie that anyone thinks of when they think of 1975, Barry Lyndon! OK, maybe Barry Lyndon is not the first movie most people think of when they think of 1975, but maybe it should be. It's a Kubrick, it's almost all lighted with natural light and candles, it's based on a book by a guy with the name William Makepeace Thackery. Plus, it looks like someone made a flipbook out of the greatest paintings you'll ever see. Serio...

As the ship of the world sank into the icy waters of the pandemic, Hollywood played on, delighting us and horrifying us in turn. But movies were not just meant to edify and entertain.

The TasteBudz love Pixar, music, Jamie Foxx, and Tina Fey, but these are never combined all in one movie. But what if I told you shut up they are and it's in this movie, Soul? Soul looks great on paper and wonderful on screen, but does it have what it takes to take down 2020's Movie of the Year? When a Pixar movie comes out we expect to be blown away, but does this movie manage to get us th...
