  • 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.

Actually, I saw a twitter post the other day with someone calling “10 Things I Hate About You” a classic movie, and I immediately felt a million... more

  • Absolutely love this podcast!

    Really enjoy hearing all these podcasts. Originally started listening after searching for an old 80s movie I wanted to hear more about and these guys came up as an option. Been listening to all there stuff ever since. I particularly like the humour and interesting trivia they always bring to the conversation. Smart funny and relaxing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 483: Godzilla (1954) and Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956)
Q: What do you think, Al? Do the two Godzilla stand the test of time?
The 1954 movie Godzilla is amazing because it has depth, it has emotion, it is talking about real world stuff, and it's using a dinosaur creature to do it.
Episode 480: Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
Q: What about you, Al? Is Dog Day Afternoon still as good today as people thought back then?
I think so. The movie really explores a lot of themes, including sexuality and class divide.
Episode 480: Dog Day Afternoon (1975)
Q: Do you think that Dog Day Afternoon stands the test of time?
Honestly, I don't think there's much you would change at all about this film.
Episode 482: Best in Show (2000)
Q: Do you think that Best in Show stands the test of time?
Absolutely, it is kind of timeless, and people are going to love dogs for the rest of time.
Episode 479: Bring It On (2000)
Q: Does the movie stand the test of time?
While it has many redeeming qualities and tackles important themes, the movie falls short in its representation and usage of problematic language, indicating that it does not fully stand the test of time.
