  • SMH. Go figure

    Here I am trying to enjoy a podcast about MOVIES…and who would have guessed it, the libtard hosts have to push political narratives and agendas, as if this were a podcast on politics. Unbelievable. The hosts suffer from Trump Derangement Syndrome, I’ll pass.

  • Put on your nostalgia hats and prepare your mind to enter the zone of 80’s, 90’s and sometimes early 00’s movie discussion. It’s time to challenge your perception of all those movies you thought you loved and make you think twice about how you remember hits like Crocodile Dundee, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Bend it Like Beckham, and hundreds more.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 506: Memento (2000)
Q: What makes Memento stand the test of time according to the hosts?
They argue that the film's structural ingenuity, its handling of memory and identity, and the way it places the audience in the protagonist's disoriented perspective create a lasting, thought-provoking experience that continues to inspire discussions about narrative form.
Episode 503: A Few Good Men (1992)
Q: do you think A Few Good Men stands the test of time?
Yes, it absolutely stands the test of time; while some elements feel dated, the performances, courtroom dynamics, and central questions about loyalty vs. conscience keep it compelling.
Episode 496: Spies Like Us (1985)
Q: Do you think that Spies Like Us stands the test of time?
Eddie believes it has good parts and a replicable plot but also notes that the comedy feels dated despite some progressive themes, concluding that it barely stands the test of time.
Episode 491: Under Siege (1992)
Q: What do you think about 1992's Under Siege?
I think this is a shitty movie. Even though I don't always love dumb action movies, usually they'll hold my attention more than this movie did.
Episode 499: Taxi Driver (1976)
Q: Do you think Taxi Driver stands the test of time?
Yes, the film is a powerful exploration of isolation and mental illness, resonating strongly even today.
