You all are interesting and funny and explore movies I may not have known about! Thank you for opening our eyes to some great Art that may have been missed. I also love that this particular discussion was an hour longer that the movie itself!!

  • If you could rate it higher, I would!!

    Sam, Ian, and Kate are by far the best trio I have ever laughed to. They don’t just try to pick apart movies, they learn the ways of the producers, artists, and actors. They are movie GENIUSESSSSS!! 10 out of 10 humor!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

A House of Dynamite
Q: Was it just me, or did you assume we'd have a harried reunion between Davis and his girlfriend at the end of the movie?
Sam noted that he expected a traditional disaster movie reunion after the tension of the situation, which did not occur.
Twinless
Q: Why did Dennis go back to the support group if he's a liar?
Because he is mentally disturbed and seeking connection, despite having fabricated his entire backstory.
Twinless

He excels in structuring stories and crafting dialogue that captures natural conversation dynamics.
Forced to Watch: Ian and MacGruber
Q: Did this change your perspective on Will Forte's humor?
Yeah, I'm still not going to go and watch anything else he's done, but I found this more entertaining than I expected to.
Forced to Watch: Ian and MacGruber
Q: Ian, why do you love Will Forte? Why do you love MacGruber?
I like Will Forte because it is so silly and most of his sketches were just complete nonsense that sometimes it works, which is refreshing.
