So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 72 - Triangle/Twilight Zone: The Movie
October 05, 2011 23:32 - 55 minutes - 25.5 MBYou're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of rambling, caffienated conversation about 2 movies that Krissy has never seen; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination and pure aural sexiness. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Triangle/Twilight Zone: The Movie episode of SIMAMG! The discussion includes the 2 of us trying to make sense (and not quite succeeding) of Triangle's plot, K's personal proble...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 71 - Moneyball/Orgazmo
September 28, 2011 06:34 - 1 hour - 33.4 MBBaseball vs. porn. Porn vs. baseball. How do you choose between the 2 subjects of our latest double feature? One features Brad Pitt playing the smooth-talking manager of the record-breaking 2002 Oakland Athletics. The other features a character who wears a dildo on his head and a woman known for pleasuring 4 men at the same - albeit gross - time. MONEYBALL and ORGAZMO, you guys. Tons of fun. We discuss baseball movies, Dodger Stadium seating, the Brad and Jen and Angelina Monster, Jonah Hill,...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 70 - Drive/License To Drive
September 22, 2011 03:17 - 1 hour - 31.4 MBIt's a DRIVE double feature! Or a triple feature if you count the fact that both of us saw Drive twice over the weekend. We enjoyed it a great deal, you see. GO SEE IT NOW! AND Krissy finally got to experience her 2nd film from the Two Coreys Trilogy: License To Drive! The cinema vehicular discussion that followed includes thoughts on Ryan Gosling's hunk status, "Nightcall," Albert Brooks as a bad bad guy outside of The Simpsons, the simpleness of Carey Mulligan, autism, supercool scorpion ja...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 69 - Friends with Benefits/Y Tu Mamá También
September 15, 2011 03:30 - 50 minutes - 23.2 MBGuess who has another girl crush? If you guessed ‘Krissy,’ you win a prize! And if you guessed ‘Justin,’ you *still* win a prize!! Yes, your favorite movie-watching couple takes it aaallll the way back Awkward Town this week, as we commiserate about how hot Mila Kunis is, how NOT hot inexperienced teenagers are, and how much Krissy wants to mail a care package of BIC razors to the fine people of Mexico. The double sexy feature: Friends with Benefits and Y Tu Mamá También! Also, the age old qu...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 68 - Rad/Gleaming the Cube
September 07, 2011 04:39 - 1 hour - 31.5 MBJustin and Krissy are outclassed this week in a sea of BMXers (who may or may not also work in factories) and hardcore murder-solving skaters! But hey, they're REASONABLY AVERAGE IN LOVE! Grab your Couples Skate partner and join us as we discuss the merit of bringing your BMX bike to the school dance, Lori Loughlin's apparent fountain of youth, solving crime the Christian Slater skater way, driving cop cars through the O.C. very very badly, and montages! montages! montages! WHEW, that's a lot...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 67 - Midnight in Paris/Manhattan
September 01, 2011 01:40 - 1 hour - 30.8 MBWoody Allen double feature! Yes, we both get a little neurotic and wacky talking about the newest Woody flick (Midnight in Paris) and one of his classics (Manhattan). One of us has seen most of Woody's output of films while the other has seen only a handful! Like always, we answer the important questions on everyone's minds: Did either movie make us want to move to Paris or NYC? Is it cool for someone to have a favorite cinematographer? What is the true Golden Age and is nostalgia really tha...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 66 - The Shining/The Fly
August 24, 2011 07:03 - 1 hour - 30.8 MBWARNING: We officially have gone off the deep end for this 66th episode of SIMAMG!! And not like the deep end of the pool at a nice hotel in Vegas or something. NO. Like the deep end of a YMCA pool where it's 12 feet deep and your ears start to pop as you try to pick pennies up off the bottom. Yes, we do watch two of Justin's "FAVORITES" ever: The Shining and The Fly (The Jeff Goldblum Version). And yes, we probably say something that will offend most everyone. A roller-un-PC-coaster, if you ...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 65 - Almost Famous/Magnolia
August 17, 2011 18:09 - 1 hour - 28.3 MBThis happens. This is something that happens... What's "this" you ask? The Total Glorious Package: Almost Famous and Magnolia! Kate Hudson at her best, Julianne Moore at her crying worst and (quite accidentally on our part) a brilliant Phillip Seymour Hoffman double feature performance! Squeak 'em, squeak 'em whaaaaat? Yup, Christmas came early this year, kids... In the form of a Golden God and raining frogs. Rated PG-13 with some poopy language on the side. Enjoy!
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 64 - A Clockwork Orange/Blade Runner
August 09, 2011 06:08 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBDystopian double feature! This week, Krissy takes the flick-choosing reins and picks two movies that she couldn't continue being completely oblivious about: A Clockwork Orange and Blade Runner (The Director's Cut)!!! And she only loved one of them! Duh duh duuuuhhhh. But which one? Other questions answered during the podcast: how noir does Krissy like her noir? Does she also love - NAZIS?? What's Justin's favorite Kubrick film? What would be our personal Ludovico techniques? Is there such a t...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 63 - Cowboys and Aliens/Killer Klowns From Outer Space
August 02, 2011 08:06 - 1 hour - 27.7 MBSo what do cowboys, indians, aliens, clowns, laser slap bracelets, phallic gold-mining alien ships, cotton candy testes, electric circus tents, and kids with knives have in common? Absolutely nothing! Except a place in this podcast, of course, which this week takes on the new 'Cowboys and Aliens' movie along with the "kult klassic" (according to Justin) 'Killer Klowns From Outer Space.' J and K's opinions differ on which movie is the better of the two, though both are down for siphoning off s...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 62 - Captain America: The First Avenger/Captain Ron
July 25, 2011 06:32 - 1 hour - 29.3 MBIt's Captains' Week at Ye Olde Movie Geek Podcast, and for once we're not talking about Jack Sparrow, Captain Hook, or Capt Crunch. No - this week goes out to the real heroes. Captain Heroes. Y'know, the kind who run into fire bridges, do battle with trash can lids, and who wear their scraggly long hair unwashed and generally enjoy loafing (a la 'The Big Lebowski Goes Boating'). That's right - this week belongs to Captain America/Ron!!!! Because really, haven't you ALWAYS WANTED to hear J & K...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 61 - The Harry Potter Series
July 19, 2011 08:55 - 1 hour - 32.6 MBHARRY POTTER-THON!!! Yes. Justin did it. He coerced Krissy via magic elixir to finally break down and watch her some Harry Potter. Not just one movie. Not just two. But EVERY SINGLE one over the span of a weekend. Including...the new one, Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows Pt. 2, that's now breaking box office records. Why hadn't she seen any of these incredibly popular movies? Why hadn't she read any of the books? Because she's Krissy. And this podcast exists specifically to catch her up to ...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 60 - Horrible Bosses/The Devil's Advocate
July 11, 2011 07:02 - 1 hour - 33.6 MBThe potty-mouth tirade continues! This week we welcome one of our favorite ladies, Grae Drake (of the Popcorn Mafia podcast, Movies dot com and Fandango fame), as a super special guest to discuss not one but TWO bad boss flicks: Horrible Bosses and The Devil's Advocate!! What do we spend waaaay too long blabbin' about, you might (or might not) ask? Well...what color is Jennifer Aniston's eyes AND when is she going to finally show the goods? What are our personal worst boss stories and why was...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 59 - Pulp Fiction/Pretty Woman
July 04, 2011 08:16 - 1 hour - 28.6 MBHit men and hookers! Two of our most favorite subjects wrapped into a warm podcast tortilla of love! With a very special guest from the opposite coast! Yes, this week we welcome our podcast's biggest superfan (and potential stalker?) Jordan Yanco to form together like Voltron and discuss 2 more flicks Krissy had managed to evade for waaaaaaay too long: PULP FICTION and PRETTY WOMAN!!! What better double feature to celebrate the Fourth of July, right? Like a bottle rocket straight into your fa...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 58 - Beetlejuice/Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
June 29, 2011 06:09 - 55 minutes - 25.3 MBIt's a very special (and may we say bodacious) birthday edition of 'So I Married A Movie Geek' as we go late 80's for an old school double feature: BEETLEJUICE and BILL AND TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE!!! Both were seminal childhood flicks for Justin and both, of course, were completely bypassed by Krissy for over 20 years. But no more! We discuss our recent trip to the Northwest, Krissy's love of trees, Tim Burton, Saturday morning cartoons, Michael Keaton, Captain Kangaroo: The Ride, time trav...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 57 - Big/Joe Versus the Volcano
June 21, 2011 07:45 - 55 minutes - 25.6 MBTom Hanks double feature, y'all. Seriously. TRUTH: We love Tom Hanks. And if you don't love him too, we don't know what to say to you. You might just be a communist. This week, Krissy had full choice and we watched 2 Hanks flicks, BIG (1988) and JOE VERSUS THE VOLCANO (1990). One is Justin's all-time favorite Hanks film. The other features Meg Ryan in three roles, Abe Vigoda and a volcano. So there you go. Spoilers and nostalgia-diarrhea filled, like always! This tangent-filled episode is rat...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 56 - Super 8/Close Encounters of the Third Kind
June 13, 2011 07:40 - 59 minutes - 27.3 MBHow super was J.J. Abrams's Super 8 really? And what specific scenes did Krissy have beef with after finally seeing Close Encounters of the Third Kind for the very first time?!? Those questions and more are all answered (more or less) in this super duper alien-tastic double feature episode of SIMAMG! Soooooo MINT, am I right? Feeling the Spielberg love, this week we make nostalgia cotton candy and discuss movie mashups, Abrams's extreme obsession with lens flares, THE MOST SPECTACULAR TRAIN C...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 55 - X-Men: First Class/X-Men
June 08, 2011 17:43 - 1 hour - 28.9 MBALL X-MEN EPISODE! Is X-Men First Class the best of the bunch? We force Krissy to watch her very first X-Men double feature: X-Men (2000) and the brand new one out in the theaters too! X-cellent, right? Which one did she enjoy more? How much in love are we both now with Michael Fassbender? FASSBENDER!!!! How many degrees are we currently from Kevin Bacon? What would be Krissy's big superpower? It's all in this episode that's rated PG-13!
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 54 - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade/The Fifth Element
June 01, 2011 06:30 - 1 hour - 27.6 MBIndiana Jones and the Last Crusade vs. The Fifth Element! Two adventurous flicks personally programmed by Justin's sister Kristin and both previously unseen by Krissy (of course)! Harrison Ford and Sean Connery vs. Bruce Willis and Milla Jovovovovovich!! Which flick kept Krissy awake ---better? As a relative newbie to the series, out of the Indiana Jones trilogy (and not the woeful 4th), which is her official favorite? Up to this point, what did Krissy think the Holy Grail actually was? (Hint...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 53 - Predator/Total Recall
May 24, 2011 18:50 - 1 hour - 83.1 MBAn Arnold Schwarzenegger double feature?!? It's naht a tumor! It's a two-fer! No really. Are you ready for the most scatterbrained discussion of Predator and Total Recall...perhaps EVER? Because when you add a visiting family member to the mix, there is absolutely no way that anyone can stay on topic during this week's episode. Maybe we were just happy not to be raptured? The rambling spiel includes many many bad Arnold impressions, plus thoughts about Alien Vs. Predator, Lil Jon and Alex Mac...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 52 - Bridesmaids/Very Bad Things
May 16, 2011 20:03 - 1 hour - 82.8 MBIt's wedding season! And what better way to celebrate than to watch 2 movies that illustrate the sometimes hilarious (and sometimes much less hilarious) realities of the process of getting hitched: the new-in-theaters Bridesmaids and the 1998 dark comedy Very Bad Things! We discuss the awesomeness of Kristen Wiig and Melissa McCarthy, water/laser weddings, Cameron Diaz, the legacy of Jeremy Piven, half-Golden Globe noms, our own wedding party experiences and much more. We even spontaneously b...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 51 - Tootsie/The Last of Sheila
May 09, 2011 18:04 - 1 hour - 63.9 MBAN ALL-MOM PROGRAMMED EPISODE! Yup. Since Krissy wouldn't agree to seeing either Thor or Fast Five (insert highly disappointed head shake here), this week we celebrated Mother's Day by watching 2 of our moms' favorite movies of all time: Tootsie (1982) and The Last of Sheila (1973)!! One of which Justin had never seen himself. Spoiler warning: at one point we completely lose it and then we lose it several more times. Our minds, what we're supposed to be talking about, etc. A lot of it is...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 50 - Being John Malkovich/Memento
May 03, 2011 08:07 - 1 hour - 55 MBFIFTY EPISODES! Yeeeeaaahhh! We (somehow) made it! We celebrate by watching two fantastic movies that Krissy had managed to avoid for long enough: Being John Malkovich and Memento!! Why did she erroneously think both movies starred Tom Cruise? Whose portal would we each use for 15 minutes and why? Do we hit our one-Titanic-mention-per-episode mark? Does Krissy have short-term memory disorder like Guy Pearce's character? What the hell really happened in Memento? Does anyone really know? This e...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 49 - Requiem For A Dream/The Rules of Attraction
April 27, 2011 18:25 - 47 minutes - 43.4 MBAre you MEGA SUPER DEPRESSED? Do you want to hear Justin get berated for picking one of the most downer movies in the last 20 years to watch this week? OF COURSE YOU DO, right? Well that's what we were working with as we belatedly paired 2000's 'Requiem For A Dream' and 2002's 'The Rules of Attraction' for an honest-to-goodness, slit-your-wrists double feature! (insert heavy sigh here) Like many episodes, this week's left us with more questions than answers! Like...what is Jared Leto's major ...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 48 - Scream 4/Sleepaway Camp
April 19, 2011 16:55 - 50 minutes - 23 MBScream 4...was it worth the wait? Does it live up to the promise began by the first Scream? Or does it continue in the gutterball tradition of the ultra-crappy Scream 3? We cut to the chase of the meta matter in this slicing and dicing podcast episode! PLUS...we subject Krissy to a cult classic from 1983 (aka the year of her birth) for the very 1st time: SLEEPAWAY CAMP. Oh yeaaaaahhhhh! You're either on this crazy train or you're blowin' up on it in multiple dimensions, Gyleenhaal-style...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 47 - Stand By Me/Adventures In Babysitting/Space Camp
April 11, 2011 19:41 - 1 hour - 27.9 MBWell, we finally jumped the 80s shark, kids... with our first-ever TRIPLE FEATURE. Behold "Stand By Me," "Adventures in Babysitting," and "SpaceCamp" in all their noodle-curled, get-a-grip let's-go-look-for-a-dead-body GLORY!!* ("Glorious," incidentally, is not an adjective we'd use to describe one of these movies... Can ya guess which one??) It's a fun time this week, kids -- join us as we recount skewed stories from our childhoods, including 'A Tree Grows in the Sand Backyard,' and 'I...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 46 - Source Code/Insidious
April 04, 2011 05:33 - 59 minutes - 27.5 MBIt's new movie DOUBLE FEATURE time, y'all!!!! We pull an illegal transfer to see 2 brand new films opening this weekend, SOURCE CODE and INSIDIOUS!!! Could this finally be the week in which we don't totally hate either movie? During the scintillating hour of cinematic discussion, we delve into our rambling thoughts on Jake Gyllenhaal, loud 12-year-olds during movies, Quantum Leap, movie scores, Dunkin Donuts, parallel realities, haunted houses, Ghost Grandma, Rose Byrne's musical skills, View...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 45 - Burlesque/Cry-Baby
March 29, 2011 05:25 - 42 minutes - 19.5 MB"If I could turn around this cluuuuuuub!" What do you get when you cross a sober-ish Christina Aguilera, shiny-faced Cher and TUCCI (!!!!!) with John Waters' twisted version of Grease starring Johnny Depp, Iggy Pop and one of Justin's childhood crushes? THIS WEEK'S PODCAST, y'all. It's a musical-ish double feature with Burlesque and Cry-Baby (1990), 2 movies only a gay man with questionable taste in movies would love. Truth: we didn't hate them. But we didn't love them. Basically, we were stu...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 44 - Morning Glory/Broadcast News
March 23, 2011 00:06 - 40 minutes - 18.8 MBAhh, at last... Two movies right in Krissy's journalistic wheelhouse: "Morning Glory" and "Broadcast News!" Honestly, how she's gone this long seeing the latter is beyond us; especially since she sat in front of the poster for it every day for a year while in J-school (and apparently has a close friend who looks just like Holly Hunter). Maybe she was too busy singing with Jeff Goldblum? Either way, join us we discuss all things adorable, cretinous, and love-triangle-square-y. This podcast is ...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 43 - Battle:Los Angeles/Starship Troopers
March 13, 2011 03:39 - 1 hour - 32.9 MBGuess what? We got a fever! And the only prescription.. is more cowbell pretty people fighting aliens! First up is a movie about aliens battling Marines in a city that looks nothing like Los Angeles (WE CALL SHENANIGANS!), followed by a 90s classic involving some blonde-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian kids who claim to be from Buenos Aires. Yup, today on Ye Olde Podcast we're discussing the merits (or demerits) of "Battle: Los Angeles" and "Starship Troopers." And two very special guests, ...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 42 - The Adjustment Bureau/The Lake House
March 07, 2011 06:57 - 1 hour - 30 MBROMANCE! Action! SCIENCE FICTION! Matt Day-MON! This week, we watch one brand new movie and one older selection with a similar theme: will love survive whatever the cost?!?!?!? Through space, time and multiple doors? Even if strange guys with fedoras and Etch-A-Sketch books don't want it to! Even if the time-traveling mailbox fails to function properly! LOVE WILL CONQUER ALL! Or something. Shut up, Chair Man! It's all romantic and you can't stop it. Filled with the spirit, we discuss romantic...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 41 - Drive Angry 3D/The Rock
March 01, 2011 17:47 - 1 hour - 34.2 MBIt's a Nicolas Cage double feature with an intermission of Oscar discussion! This week, we went to see Cage's newest 3D entry into the "give me my daughter/granddaughter back!!!" pantheon of cinema, Drive Angry. And then we watched The Rock, because Krissy had never seen it. The rambling conversation that followed includes Justin sticking up for Cage and his many hairpieces, Amber Heard and her newly out outness/hotness, William Fichtner, Sean Connery & Finding Forrester, Sarah Palin, James F...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 40 - Feed The Fish/Dogtooth
February 22, 2011 06:40 - 54 minutes - 25.2 MBIt's another Netflix instant streaming (plus WINE!!!!) double feature! Why? Because after three looong weeks, we finally got INTERNET in our new friggin' apartment!!! It's a celebration!!! A celebration that involves one great movie and one not so great movie. And our first official (and Oscar-nominated) foreign film!! We discuss Wisconsin, polar bear plunges, Tony Shalhoub, brushing your teeth while working out, Korean spas, shocking violence, isolationism, sweet dance moves, the Duggars, th...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 39 - Say Anything/High Fidelity
February 16, 2011 02:53 - 55 minutes - 25.7 MBThe time has come, the Walrus said, to talk of many things... Of Cusacks (both John & Joan), relationships (with your dad, boyfriend, or Swedish-accented girlfriend), and those with "special needs." Yup, J and K are CUSACKING OUT this week, with the 1989 classic 'Say Anything' and 2000's 'High Fidelity.' The post-viewing podcast contains lots of wisecracking, singing, and sneezing and even some snotting. (Ew.) Episode 39 is rated a friendly and tame PG. Aww, isn't that nice?
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 38 - Titanic 2/The Karate Kid Part II
February 08, 2011 01:18 - 51 minutes - 23.7 MBThis week = all sequels all the time, as J and K try and answer the question: is it *really* better the second time around, as the theme from 'Step By Step' suggests? Well, if you're watching 'The Karate Kid Part II,' then the answer is YES. (Justin: "Did we agree on this? Cause I say NO.") But if you're watching 'Titanic 2'... Not. So. Much. Indeed there's a clear winner in this week's double feature podcast, and (spoiler alert!) it's *NOT* the movie that was produced by Asylum. Join u...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 37 - Alien/Aliens
January 25, 2011 07:52 - 1 hour - 27.9 MBALIENS! Jumping at your face! Bursting out your chest! Obnoxiously spraying their acid blood all over you! What a drag! But do you want to know what's undoubtedly not a drag??!!?? The fact that Krissy has finally seen Alien AND Aliens! The originals without the Predators! FINALLY! (a choir sings!) Yep. As boxes have taken over our apartment for our potential move, this week we did a Alien/Aliens combo and had a grand old time trying to stay on topic about both! There's just so much STUFF!! Ou...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 36 - The Green Hornet/Batman
January 17, 2011 04:41 - 52 minutes - 24.2 MBSomething happened on tonight's podcast, and without the help of alcohol, Justin and Krissy just got totally silly and WEIRD. J blames it on the coffee, while K blames it on her ADD. Crazy analogies and metaphors ensue, including but not limited to Barbra Streisand as an octopus (?), Seth Rogen's poor-by-comparison turn as an amorphous paraplegic sea creature (??), an imagined conversation between Jay Chou and Rooster Cogburn, and ZOMBIE SELENA!! Much like the former of these two movies, not ...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 35 - True Grit (2010) and The Big Lebowski
January 10, 2011 00:22 - 54 minutes - 24.9 MBTrue Grit/The Big Lebowski - A Coen Bros. double feature with two memorable performances from Jeff Bridges! Neither movie had Krissy seen before but only one would claim her heart in the end! The PG-13 podcast includes discussion about grits, a "plethora" of accents, crying about horses, Aspergers cowboys, Oscars, Roger Ebert, The Dude, L.A. in film and more!
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 34 - Favorite Films of 2010
January 02, 2011 08:49 - 1 hour - 37 MBThe movies of 2010!!!! Which were our favorite films specifically covered on the podcast in 2010? Which 10 movies released this year would we each take with us if we were deserted on an island forever? Is Natalie Portman really pregnant? With like...a baby baby????? Oh well. We both run down our personal 'favorite 10 movies of 2010' lists, discuss some of the awesome documentaries from the year and even throw in a few honorable mentions that missed our lists for good measure. Need suggestions...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 33 - National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation
December 25, 2010 02:42It's a Christmas miracle!!! What happens when Krissy and Justin (plus very special guests Allison Boon and Evan Goldstein) decide to make a ginormous batch of Mega Xmas Sangria and watch the 1989 holiday classic, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation?? DRUNKEN MADNESS!!!! Seriously. We attempt to stay on-topic. We really really tried. There are even a couple F-bombs fired off amongst all the constant chatter. So you've been warned! This podcast is rated RRRRRRRRRRR!!!!! Happy holidays to ever...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 32 - The Fighter/Black Swan
December 20, 2010 07:13 - 1 hour - 29.7 MBNEW MOVIE ALERT! Who suffered for their art most this year in film? Natalie Portman as a sexually repressed, bullimic ballerina? Or Christian Bale as a crack-smoking, ex-boxing convict? Or BOTH? In an effort to make a dent in our ginormous pile of awards screeners, we watch both The Fighter and Black Swan! The discussion that follows includes much ado about Mark Wahlberg, Bale, Amy Adams, Melissa Leo and the 7 sisters! Plus, we expound upon the unraveling of Nina Sayers (figuratively and lite...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 31 - Die Hard
December 12, 2010 05:36 - 46 minutes - 21.5 MBDIE HARD! DIE HARDER!! DIE HARDEST!!!!!! Yup. J and K take a trip to Nakatomi Plaza (Origami Tower?) and watch and discuss the "heart-stopping" (palpitation-y?) movie starring Bruce Willis, the mom from Parenthood, and Snape from Harry Potter. Nothing's too off-topic for our daring duo, not even discussions about hypothetical terrorism at My Gym, the structural soundness of an actual Origami Tower, and the magic of car phones! This podcast is rated PG-13, once again, for liberal use of ...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 30 - Mixed Nuts/Roxanne
December 05, 2010 03:43 - 56 minutes - 25.9 MBOn this week's 'So I Married a Movie Geek,' J and K hit a bittersweet note: mourning a loss in the family, they cheer up by watching a Steve Martin double feature: Mixed Nuts and Roxanne. Krissy's all about the cast, characters and farcical nature of Mixed Nuts (especially when it comes to hiding dead bodies as Christmas trees), but Justin's really just about loving Madeline Kahn Liev Schreiber's scarf dancing and Roooooxxxaaanne, in general. Also discussed: Steve Martin's love for art and...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 29 - Planes, Trains and Automobiles
November 26, 2010 08:30 - 52 minutes - 24.2 MBIt's a family affair for a very special Thanksgiving episode of SIMAMG! After a fantastic Turkey Day dinner (sans turkey) and a LOT of wine, we welcome Justin's dad Monty to L.A. and the podcast to watch the 1987 classic, Planes, Trains and Automobiles! The spirited discussion that followed includes many issues with numbers, times and calendars, an explanation for last week's lost Footloose episode, Krissy's vendetta against briefs, Monty's review of coin-operated beds, talk of Ed Grimley and...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 28 - Edward Scissorhands/Innerspace
November 12, 2010 17:04 - 52 minutes - 24.3 MBThis week's double feature includes two older movies with nothing much in common besides the fact that one of us had never seen either of them before: Tim Burton's Edward Scissorhands (1990) and Joe Dante's Innerspace (1987)!!! We basically watch both flicks and start imagining what it would be like to have gigantic scissors for hands OR what we'd do if we were dying of a gunshot wound at the same time that we had our miniaturized friend in a syringe at a shopping mall. You know, regular day ...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 27 - Heathers
November 06, 2010 07:45 - 57 minutes - 26.2 MBStrap yourselves in, keep hands and legs inside the vehicle at all times, kids... Cause things are about to get VERY. Christian Slater! Winona Ryder! Shannen Doherty! KRISSY'S MOM!! Yes, along with Very Special Guest Cathy MacQueen, Krissy & Justin view 'Heathers,' and subsequently discuss the movie's light & dark sides, symbolism, Slater's Jack-Nicholson-esque qualities, and... scampi. Plus something about Bette Davis, stroke victims, $4M worth of water and the merits of strip croquet...
So I Married A Movie Geek - Episode 26 - Paranormal Activity 1 and 2
October 27, 2010 19:18 - 47 minutes - 21.7 MBIt's a PARANORMAL double feature on the podcast for the last week of (Scary Movie) October! (insert spooky music) LOUD NOISES!!!! For episode 26, we dissect last year's super-successful Paranormal Activity and the just released Paranormal Activity 2.
