And Movies For All

Pax is back, baby. In this quick sidebar we talk our backgrounds when it comes to "America's Favorite Storyteller" - John Grisham. Find Pax at cavalcadeofawesome.net. 

Friend of the pod Paxton Holley from Nerd Lunch and I Read Movies joins Robert and Susie for the latest episode. Pax talks Covid-19 and blueberry picking before the trio get into 1987's "From The Hip". John Hurt and shenanigans dominate the conversation and the group finds out how accurate it is for an attorney to go mental with a hammer in the courtroom. 

Robert and Susie chat about Quibi and Chrissy's Court and then Nerd Lunch's CT returns to the AMFA virtual offices to talk about the classic courtroom-centric Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Measure of a Man" and the new show Star Trek: Picard. CT channels (probably) one of Picard's writers to give some insight into the creative process. Take a drink every time Robert says "flirted" (?) and "missed opportunity". 

This latest episode finds Robert and Susie visited by Lindsay from French Toast Sunday and Also Coffee! The trio touch on some celeb beef and COVID-19 and then get into 2010’s The Social Network. Sorkin dialogue! Depositions! Twin humor!  

Real quick - due to the recording software used, the raw audio of this episode was filled with gaps, which had to be (sometimes hastily) removed. It’s also garbled and choppy in spots. It turned out pretty good in the end but some audio is missing or choppy. Anyways - stay safe!

Robert and Susie delve into 2013's Closed Circuit, a paranoid and generally underseen (?) legal flick from the director of Brooklyn (John Crowley).

Tune in to hear the difference between MI5, MI6 and the IMF (a fictional organization featuring one Tom Cruise). And the duo tackle one of the greatest legal questions of all time - why do British lawyers wear wigs in court?

Are Robert and Susie in the Bong Hive? Take the stairs and find out in the latest Sidebar episode all about Parasite.

Coming off a long winter (I mean, real long...and before winter started for sure) break, Robert and Susie are back to talk about 1990's Presumed Innocent, starring Harrison Ford. 

This was another twisty and turny movie, rivaling Primal Fear for sure - discussing the movie derails Robert on more than one occasion. Meanwhile, Susie notices an interesting and overlooked detail about some of the film's evidence.

In a special horror Sidebar episode, Nick and Claire are back to discuss Annabelle Comes Home and Midsommar and drink hallucinogenic Swedish beverages, and they're all out of hallucinogenic Swedish beverages. 

Robert and Susie are joined by friends Nick and Claire to discuss Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. Plus, Robert finally gives Nick his Christmas present half a year later, which may or not have something to do with Ari Aster's Hereditary.
