October 18, 2019 20:10 - 1 hour - 104 MB

On this week's episode, we've got a full house to discuss one of 2009's most divisive films, Spike Jonze's adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's book "Where The Wild Things Are". Was the film unfairly regarded upon its initial release, or is it still failing to transport audiences to its weird kid-brain world? 00:00 - Intro 07:40 - 10-year-old News: Balloon Boy! 11:00 - 10th Anniversary Review: Where The Wild Things Are 63:20: - Guess The Tomato-Meter & Wrap-Up

Strap on your yarmulkes, Sam and Eli get (not so) serious and discuss our favorite Jew-y movie of all time, The Coen Brothers' A Serious Man. Listen to fun facts about how the film got made in Eli's childhood neighborhood and listen to our take on why it's best to not try to make sense of the Coens' 2009 film but just "accept the mystery". 00:00 -- Intro & Eli's Connection to A Serious Man 08:30 -- Our Top 5 Favorite Coen Brothers Films 27:09 -- 10th Anniversary Review: A Serious Man

Just in time for the release of Zombieland: Double Tap, the crew take a look back at the original Zom-Com starring Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Woody Harrelson and Abigail Breslin. Does the humor and the action hold up a decade later, and are we more or less excited to return to the United States of Zombieland? 00:00 - Intro & 10-Year-Old News (David Letterman Extortion) 12:50 - 10th Anniversary Review: Zombieland

Join as us we return to 9/9/09, a date that we will never experience again unless we find a way to put our souls into burlap sack robots for eternity, which is part of the plot to this week's movie, '9', which was NOT directed by Tim Burton despite everyone thinking it is. Here's our take on 9's 10th anniversary. 00:00 -- Intro & 10-year-old News 16:15 -- 10th Anniversary Review: 9 Join us next week for our look back at CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS, available to stream on Netflix.

September 06, 2019 18:51 - 42 minutes - 34.9 MB

Sam, Kyle and Eli discuss Mike Judge's fourth (and, so far, final) feature film Extract, which bombed despite a sterling cast of Jason Bateman, Mila Kunis, Ben Affleck and JK Simmons. Why did it fail, and is it worth another look 10 years later? 00:00 -- 10-year-old News https://www.wired.com/2009/09/youtube-in-talks-to-rent-premium-movies-from-major-studios/ 09:38 -- 10 year anniversary review: Extract  Intro/Outro Music: The score from Jumper by John Powell

Episode 030 | The Final Destination

August 29, 2019 17:14 - 54 minutes - 46.8 MB

Sam, Kyle and Eli debate what makes a movie "so bad it's good", and whether or not 2009's ridiculous The Final Destination falls into that category.  Come back next week as we discuss the 10th anniversary of Mike Judge's "Extract".  Opening/Closing Music: "My Day So Far" & "A Jump Off" by John Powell  

Episode 029 | Inglourious Basterds

August 22, 2019 23:54 - 1 hour - 83.4 MB

Sam and Kyle *echo* the same sentiments about Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds on its 10th anniversary: it's good. It's really good. But first, we count down our Tarantino flicks from worst to best to see just how good.  00:00 -- Intro & 10 Year Old News 9:00 -- Our Tarantino Rankings 34:50 -- 10th Anniversary Re-View: Inglourious Basterds

Episode 028 | Julie & Julia

August 08, 2019 17:11 - 1 hour - 67.1 MB

It's a food fight on this week's episode, as we debate the relevance and charm of 2009's double-biopic Julie & Julia starring Meryl Streep and Amy Adams, which is a decade old this weekend. We also have Sam's late-breaking thoughts on the bonkers CGI-fest G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, which is also celebrating its 10th anniversary. Bon Appetit. 01:00 - 10-year-old (depressing) news 03:30 - 10th Anniversary Review: Julie & Julia 1:00:45 - Guess The Tomato-Meter // Box Office & G.I. Joe

August 03, 2019 00:54 - 1 hour - 54.1 MB

Sam, Eli and Kyle celebrate(?) the anniversary of comedy extraordinaire Judd Apatow's 10-year-old opus Funny People, which is inexplicably two and half hours long. There's certainly a lot of funny people here, but we discuss whether that adds up to a worthwhile experience. Intro/Outro Music: "A Jump Off" by John Powell from Jumper (2008)

Episode 026 | G-Force (+The Lion King 2019)

July 26, 2019 00:17 - 1 hour - 84.8 MB

Disney loves their talking animals, and in 2009 they reached their apex with the all-time classic that every single human on Earth remembers and adores, G-Force (duh, who doesn't know G-Force?) Stick around afterward our glowing look back at the seminal guinea pig spy movie, to review the polarizing new remake of that old, forgotten 1994 movie known as 'The Lion King'. 00:00 -- 10th Anniversary Review: G-Force 47:31 -- Review: The Lion King (2019 Remake) Intro/Outro Music: "A Jump Off" b...

Episode 025 | Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

July 18, 2019 20:07 - 1 hour - 71 MB

Whether it was the books, the movies or just plain being around people, it's impossible for millennials to not have some relationship with Harry Potter. Sam, Kyle and Eli all bring different perspectives to the franchise as they discuss the 6th cinematic entry, which may just be one of the finest. 

Episode 024 | Bruno

July 10, 2019 20:04 - 59 minutes - 51.7 MB

Sam, Eli and special guest Monica discuss how well the flamboyantly gay Sacha Baron Cohen character Bruno (and his 10 year old film!) has aged, especially with the little old thing called gay marriage becoming federally mandated in the years between. Does this film effectively expose America's homophobia, or simply settle for the shock factor?

Episode 023 | Public Enemies

July 01, 2019 17:45 - 53 minutes - 47.3 MB

This week the boys go beyond the confines of 2009 to the 1930s, where Michael Mann's gangster drama "Public Enemies" takes place. Does Johnny Depp's performance as John Dillinger impress as he goes toe to toe with Christian Bale, or is there a reason this is one of 2009's lesser-known blockbusters?   00:00 -- Intro & The News (Michael Jackson, Al Franken, Steven Soderbergh's "Moneyball") 11:00 -- 10th Anniversary Re-Review: "Public Enemies"

June 26, 2019 22:13 - 1 hour - 62.8 MB

It's just Kyle and Sam this week, having an intimate talk about an intimate war movie that just so happened to go on to win Best Picture: Katheryn Bigelow's The Hurt Locker. We also sell out by talking a little bit about a much bigger movie (in terms of scale and money) -- a little 10-year-old blockbuster known as Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: the most Trumpian movie of 2009? 00:00 -- Introduction 7:23 -- 10-year-old News: The Death of Michael Jackson 17:45 -- 10 year Re-Review: T...

Episode 021 | The Proposal

June 19, 2019 16:22 - 1 hour - 55.7 MB

June 12, 2019 21:24 - 59 minutes - 49.7 MB

On this week's show, Sam, Eli and Kyle take a break from our usual look at 2009's big summer blockbusters for a smaller, more cerebral film from director Duncan Jones (son of the late, great David Bowie).  Intro/Outro Music: "A Jump Off" by John Powell from Jumper (2008)

Episode 019 | The Hangover

June 06, 2019 02:10 - 1 hour - 59.3 MB

Some guys just can't handle Vegas. The three boys take a look back at three other boys being very bad and forgetful boys in The Hangover, a monumental smash-hit in the summer of 2009 that may or may not have lost substantial luster in the decade since. Our discussion is almost as unhinged as Ken Jeong's breakout performance. 00:00 -- Follow-"Up" from last week / Onward Teaser (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8DKg_fsacM) 08:45 -- 10 year old news! June 5th, 2009 11:25 -- The Hangover 10th...

Episode 018 | Up

May 29, 2019 21:35 - 1 hour - 61.8 MB

Sam and Kyle are joined by our friend Brandon to discuss a nostalgic classic upon its 10th anniversary: Disney/Pixar's Up. We discuss the obvious mastery that was put into this timeless film, but more surprising is how our opinions have changed over the decade - some for the better, some for the worse. Still, there's no denying that this is a testament to Pixar's power as an animation studio. Intro/Outro Music: "A Jump Off" by John Powell from Jumper (2008)

Episode 017 | Terminator Salvation

May 22, 2019 01:45 - 1 hour - 53 MB

We use futuristic 2029 technology to beam ourselves back into the past in order to revisit 2009 and in particular the decade-old action flick Terminator Salvation, directed by McG and most famous for pissing off Christian Bale on set. It's a fascinating discussion, as Kyle had seen every Terminator film twice, Eli had never seen a Terminator film before, and Sam watched most of the series for the first time over the past week.  You can email us with questions/comments/anything (and WILL get...

Episode 016 | Angels & Demons (+Detective Pikachu)

May 15, 2019 00:27 - 1 hour - 77.8 MB

Put on your tin foil hats and don your papal robes, because conspiracy meets Catholic history in our 10th anniversary retrospective of Ron Howard's Angels & Demons, adapted by the book by Dan Brown and Howard's follow-up to The DaVinci Code. Plus, stick around after the outro to hear Kyle and Sam share their (unfortunately negative) thoughts on Pokemon Detective Pikachu, a new release in theaters now based on a central tenant of both hosts' childhoods.  (00:00 -- Angels & Demons 10 Annivers...

Bonus Episode | Avengers: Endgame

May 10, 2019 22:24 - 40 minutes - 36.5 MB

Episode 015 | J.J. Abrams' Star Trek

May 08, 2019 01:45 - 1 hour - 64.3 MB

Sam and Kyle are joined by special guest Monica Geraffo of FIT (an expert in all things X-Men, but especially X-Men costumes!) to discuss what many see as one of the biggest superhero missteps in history. We 'celebrate' the 10th Anniversary of Hugh Jackman's first solo outing as Wolverine in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine". Is it still a big mess, or can we come to appreciate it now that a decade has passed? Find out right now!

Episode 013 | The Soloist

April 24, 2019 02:51 - 48 minutes - 45.9 MB

As Robert Downey, Jr. heads into the (perhaps final?) fight of his life as Tony Stark in Avengers: Endgame, the boys discuss a RDJ drama that didn't quite take off when it came out exactly 10 years ago, slayed at the box office by Beyonce-starrer "Obsessed".  Hosts: Sam Barnett, Eli Leonard, Kyle Aaronson Intro/Outro Music: "A Jump Off" by John Powell from Jumper (2008)    

Episode 012 | 17 Again (+Shazam!)

April 17, 2019 22:37 - 1 hour - 76.4 MB

Our show is all about going back to relive our youth, so it's fitting that today we're discussing 17 Again, which very cunningly released on April 17, 2009. It's also fitting that we're joined by Kyle Aaronson of Sam's short-lived former podcast 'Cinemacism'. It's all about the glory days on this week's episode.  (00:00) -- 10th Anniversary Retrospective: "17 Again" (First time watch by all of us) (55:17) -- "Shazam!" Spoiler-free Review (pairs well with 17 Again) Intro/Outro Music: "A Ju...

Episode 011 | Observe and Report

April 10, 2019 02:28 - 1 hour - 68.1 MB

Sam and Eli reflect on a Seth Rogen movie that is even darker now than it was 10 years ago. Observe and Report came and went, the bipolar cousin of Paul Blart: Mall Cop. We discuss how it is as morally troubling as it is ahead-of-its-time in its depiction of toxic masculinity and mental illness. (00:00) - 10th Anniversary Roundup: "Hannah Montana: The Movie" & "Dragonball Evolution" (10:15) - Feature 10th Anniversary Review: "Observe and Report", directed by Jody Hill.

March 27, 2019 22:48 - 53 minutes - 56.2 MB

Sam, Brandon and Eli take a deep dive into one of the less well-known Dreamworks Animation movies, "Monsters vs Aliens", which had an incredible cast... if you were a fan of TV in the mid-to-late 2000s, that is. Anyway, if you have fond memories of this film or forgot it even existed (both valid), come and hang out with us as we discuss flirting with Jell-O, disgusting photorealistic skin, and the co-director's upcoming film Pokemon: Detective Pikachu.

Episode 006 | Watchmen

March 22, 2019 16:00 - 1 hour - 73.6 MB

Who watches the Watchmen? We did -- and although Eli couldn't make it to the show this week (he got stuck in some sort of Intrinsic Field Subtractor, we think), Brandon and Sam discuss how the film holds up 10 years on, and what Watchmen says about the state of the superhero genre, both back in 2009 and in 2019.         Intro/Outro Music: "A Jump Off" by John Powell from Jumper (2008).

March 21, 2019 19:59 - 51 minutes - 48.8 MB

Sam, Brandon and Eli take their first look at He's Just Not That Into You, which stole the box office ten years ago. Myspace, racially insensitive jokes and misogyny all factor in to our discussion of how well the film holds up... not to mention, it's kind of boring. Next week, we'll be watching and dissecting the 2009 remake of "Friday The 13th" MUSIC: Intro/Outro - "A Jump Off" by John Powell from Jumper (2008) Intermission - "Resolution" by Jon Brion from ParaNorman (2012)
