110. Post-Baby Update

Wed, 04 Jun 2025 19:34:35 GMT

It's been awhile, so we thought we'd give recording a shot with the baby. No specific assignments. Just going over content from the last three months. Enjoy!

109. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty & Nine Queens

Sun, 09 Mar 2025 14:19:32 GMT

Walter Mitty is "Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There" as a full-length feature film. Nine Queens is the deceptive movie about con artists that every con artist movie wants to be. Or at least some.

We're back with two very different picks, but very fun picks.

108. Ladyhawke & Two Can Play That Game

Fri, 21 Feb 2025 12:00:00 GMT

Happy Valentine's Day! We may be a week late to celebrate, but it's never too late to celebrate love!

For this year's Valentine's picks, we have a romance-adventure film starring Ferris Bueller that just barely qualifies as "80s dark fantasy," and one of the most impactful romcoms with an all-black cast of all time.

107. Love and Other Drugs & Deja Vu

Sat, 08 Feb 2025 13:00:00 GMT

This week, we take some absurdly accurate real-life science and juxtapose it with some absurdly inaccurate movie science, or as we like to call it: Parabolic Calculus–inspired by the science behind the Jake Gyllenhaal film, Source Code. But this time Jakey boy is back, and he's got some facts about drugs to teach the viewers. The crime of committing parabolic calculus goes to Denzel Washington of all people! Talk about reverse deja vu!

Okay, I had fun writing this absurd caption. Enjoy this absurd episode.

106. My Family & Project X

Sun, 02 Feb 2025 18:48:20 GMT

Yo, it's Parker writing the caption. What up, listener? This week, we have two movies that remind me of high school. My Family is a fantastic multi-generational film telling the story of a Mexican family in Los Angeles. The first time I saw it was in my 9th grade English class, and it really stuck with me.

As for out other film? Well, let's say Project X reminds me a lot of some moments from the back-end of high school...

105. Stomp the Yard & Jeff, Who Lives at Home

Fri, 24 Jan 2025 01:31:28 GMT

Stomp, stomp, the house is stompin'. Learn about the art of step (not stomp) in Stomp the Yard, and then learn about a movie that is a little slow, a little depressing, maybe not the best, but it's a whole something.

104. I Am Number Four & Ice Princess

Wed, 15 Jan 2025 13:27:28 GMT

Was "Twilight for Boys" a good idea? Apparently not, or else people would be hosting "I Am Number Four" themed watch parties, and let's face it, that sounds weird. Twilight though? Let me get my black corduroys and hair gel out.

Also, what's more important, going to Harvard or exploring a career in figure skating after previously having zero training, but suddenly being so good you might be able to qualify for the Olympics?

Catch our thoughts on both of these questions in our new episode.

100. Rear Window & Breakfast at Tiffany's

Tue, 13 Aug 2024 10:00:00 GMT

The road to 100 is finally over! We made it! Honestly, so crazy that we've done this many episodes after Aaliyah had the simple idea to start a podcast 2.5 years ago.

To commemorate 100, we assigned each other two classic films that are renowned for two completely different reasons... But did they age well?

99. Night Stalker & Zodiac

Thu, 25 Jul 2024 20:48:39 GMT

After seeing MaXXXine a few weeks ago, we thought we’d do a little bit of education on serial killers for the podcast. Scary stuff! One is a docuseries focused on the officers that caught the Night Stalker, and the other is a narrative film focused on the officers (and others) that tried to catch the Zodiac killer.

This week, we shed light on a relatively unknown Stephen Spielberg classic, Duel, and Tony Scott's surveillance porn epic, Enemy of the State.

Mon, 04 Mar 2024 11:00:00 GMT

This week had a surprising focus on the '90s with one film centered around skateboarding culture's influence on youth during this period, and another that is a more literal product of the time in how it showcases some of the most dangerous stunts committed to film before CGI began to slightly soften the blow.

Time for our last holiday swap and final episode of 2023! First up is a lighthearted holiday romance movie that's all about how family dynamics dictate the holidays. After, we have the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special that George Lucas would rather erase from everyone's collective memories.
