Animated Movies Pt 2
August 02, 2019 03:27 - 1 hour - 84.5 MBThis week, the Sneople are getting back to their roots with the return of the animated movies discussion that kicked off the show! First of all, they cover the news from SDCC -- mostly Cats related (plot, why Cats is secretly like A Chorus Line, what's up with the noses, etc.).They also delve into The Lion King remake and what has really been bothering them about it and the future of animation. Don't worry about it being too negative though -- they also talk about the animated movies that ha...
Yee, and Dare I Say It, Haw
July 18, 2019 07:56 - 1 hour - 73 MBSaddle up, Sneople! It's time for westerns here at Sneople at the Movies, and we've got a lot of genre to deconstruct. They cover a variety of westerns from television to books to (of course) film as well as from comedies to classics to dramas. They also cover the good, the bad, and the ugly of the genre: the things that make us yearn as well as all the harm western expansion (and glorifying it) has done. They also say a lot of mean things about John Wayne. Finally, they crack the code and ...
Tree Pace
July 05, 2019 00:02 - 1 hour - 73 MBThe string of Sneople Origin Movies continues in this week's episode, covering Tarsem's 2006 cult classic, The Fall! This is also the most cursed episode yet, as it took them three tries to actually make -- It was worth the wait, they promise. They heap praise upon Lee Pace (both for his acting ability and his height), rage against the unfair reviewers that put The Fall on limited release, and just in general talk a lot about stories and how they heal and hurt us. Matty and Ezra also get rea...
King Baby Heterosexual
June 21, 2019 02:17 - 1 hour - 69.9 MBToday on Sneople at the Movies, Matty and Helena go deep diving into everyone's favorite Disneyland ride turned movie franchise, Pirates of the Caribbean. They talk about "embarrassing" favorite movies, lay out theories about what liking Legolas versus Will Turner says about you, and talk about James Norrington a completely average amount. They also both wrote whole essays about costuming and scripting, respectively, and do get very very excited about them. They also talk about the worth...
You'll Never Die In This Town Again
June 07, 2019 03:20 - 1 hour - 76.4 MBThis week on Sneople at the Movies, the Sneople finally get into one of their collective favorite movies, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, as well as its emotional sequel by the name director, The Nice Guys. It's a neo noir double hitter that's near and dear to all three of their reptilian hearts. They quote Val Kilmer multiple times, dote on the comedic talents of Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling, and explain why even slapstick dark comedies like these can have emotional meaning. Matty and Ezra wrap up t...
You The Hell Is Bucky
May 24, 2019 02:15 - 1 hour - 69.6 MBMay is the Month of MCU here at Sneople at the Movies and Matty and Ezra are taking a wandering trip down memory lane to cover the highs and lows and just sort of weirds of the last 22 movies. What's the worst MCU movie? Which one is the best and why is it Captain America 2: The Winter Solider? How did Tom Hiddleston come to be Loki? Is it fair that the Sneople talked decent amount about the Fantastic 4 movies even though they're not technically in the MCU? Where will the MCU go from here? W...
There's No Laws Here
May 10, 2019 04:01 - 1 hour - 70.9 MBIt's been a long, hard road to Avengers Endgame, but your Sneople have made it to the finish line and have the usual Hard Takes and tears to be expected with any MCU movie. They cover their MCU journeys, bond over their shared love of Peter Parker, and just in general do a full run down of The Good, The Bad, and The Dirty (read: things they felt complicated about) of Endgame. Also, Steve Rogers, they're free on Thursday so if you're out there you should give them a call this Thursday when th...

April 26, 2019 03:29 - 1 hour - 59.3 MBMay the Fourth is approaching, and this week's Sneople at the Movies has you covered for all the Star Wars talk you could need -- especially if you love Wedge Antilles.

Your Jedi Snouncil makes the call on the best Star Wars movie, explains why Star Wars vs Star Trek is a useless argument, and has a moment of silence for how good Jimmy Smits looks as Bail Organa. They also just like, really want a Kenobi movie. Help us, Ewan McGregor, you're our only hope. We...
Slither Among the Stars

They also discuss early Star Trek fandom, because how could you not? Next, Ezra and Helena take on the Star Trek movies from the very first one all the way through First Contact. They talk about why Into ...
Home is Where the Holmes Is
March 29, 2019 01:26 - 1 hour - 64.8 MBThis week on Sneople, your snouncil takes a side step from male intimacy right into the Guy Ritchie Sherlock Holmes movies. Are they really as bad as the critics claim? Ezra, Helena, and Matty explain that no, actually, they kind of rule. They go into why Robert Downey Jrs Holmes is closer to canon then you think, wax poetic over The Objective Hotness of John Watson, and get fond for the Holmes and Watson relationship for the umpteenth time in two episodes. What's your favorite Sherlock Holm...

March 15, 2019 04:40 - 1 hour - 63.1 MBThis week on Sneople, Matty, Ezra, and Helena finally get serious and talk about a subject near and dear to them — male intimacy in media.

They go in depth with toxic masculinity and the delicate balance between platonic closeness and homoeroticism. They also talk about Ezra’s favorite sports movie, which isn’t really a sports movie, but is instead about two men putting in the emotional time f...
