  • 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. 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 463: Lilo & Stitch (2002)
Q: What do you think about Lilo & Stitch? Does this movie stand the test of time?
I think this movie is really, really well crafted. It combines aliens and weird sci-fi stuff with really organic, homegrown family stuff.
Episode 460: Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
Q: What is one scene that you think would be rewritten if made today?
The scene at Castle Anthrax that mentions ages 16 to 19.
Episode 460: Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
Q: So, yeah, do you think Monty Python and the Holy Grail stands the test of time?
I think it does, it's a very quotable movie.
Episode 460: Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
Q: What did you think of the movie's sense of humor?
Were you laughing a lot?
Episode 452: Empire of the Sun (1987)
Q: What do you think about the movie? Do you think Empire of the Sun stands the test of time?
I do. I do. I think this is an important film in that it fills in a lot of holes that, I'll say it from an American's point of view, we do not know anything about this part of World War II.
