Now that they’ve gotten all of The Batman talk out of the way, Matt, Collin, and Jim can move on to other pressing matters: discussing all of the other Batmens! Join them as they ponder Hollywood’s obsession with this specific superhero, rank the various cinematic iterations, and shower Mask of the Phantasm with all of the love that Warner Brothers never has.

If there’s one thing this world doesn’t need, it’s another Batman movie. If there’s another thing this world doesn’t need, it’s a podcast about another Batman movie. What do these two things have in common? Neither Warner Brothers nor the Rommies care: the world is getting more of both! Listen in as Matt, Collin, and a returning special guest break down everything (literally EVERYTHING) about the most recent iteration of Hollywood’s most movie’d superhero.

The Rommies cap off their Best of 2021 run by discussing one of the wildest movies any of them has ever seen. In keeping with tradition, not all of them are completely sold on the movie, so listen in as the others try to make the case before things mostly devolve into a stream of quotes and references that send them all into hysterics.

For their next look at the best of film in 2021, Collin selected this Best Picture frontrunner. Despite overwhelming critical acclaim and consensus, this film proved to be QUITE divisive amongst the Rommies, so listen in for a … lively discussion of what makes this movie work (or, as one Rommie might argue, not work even a little bit, not even at all).

Before closing the book on 2021, the Rommies decided to spend some time celebrating the best the past year had to offer. For the first episode of this miniseries, Matt selected David Lowery’s medieval epic. Listen in as Matt and Collin discuss one of their favorite films of 2021 and Tierney tries to work through her PTSD from her college Lit classes.

Join the Rommies as they get their cardio on all across the San Fernando Valley while discussing (Patron Saint of the Pob) Paul Thomas Anderson’s new feature. Listen as they recount the harrowing adventure the three of them took simply to SEE the movie, and then listen as they fawn all over (nearly) everything about this delightful little film. Finally, they put on their prediction hats to try and determine how this will fare at the upcoming Academy Awards. #AnOscarForPaul

After a brief, COVID-induced hiatus, the Rommies make their triumphant return to close out the 2021 Festival with this underseen masterpiece. Listen in as Collin FINALLY gets to discuss a film that he has been thinking about (and desperately trying to get others to watch) for over two years and the Rommies gush about the impeccable performances and stellar technical aspects that elevate this movie from a simple indie drama into something truly special. Finally, they overwhelm each other with a brief discussion of all of the assorted #content they consumed over the holiday (COVID) break.

The Rommies decide to pack up and go cross country to find a new pobcassing home in the penultimate episode of their 2021 Festival. Listen in as they discuss this *extremely* late-aughts indie film, celebrate the endlessly stacked cast, and briefly investigate the filmography of Sam Mendes. Meanwhile, Collin continues his tradition of raining on Matt’s parade, and Tierney continues her tradition of dropping truly WILD takes, this time concerning the siblings Gyllenhaal.

The Rommies pack up and move across the country to start their new lives as pobcass farmers in honor of Tierney’s final selection for the 2021 Film Festival. Follow along as their takes grow from little seedlings about this film’s superb cast, story, and score and ultimately blossom into extended diatribes on the state of sound mixing and the etiquette of bed-wetting.

Paul Schrader *extremely Hozier voice* “TAKES [THE ROMMIES] TO CHURCH” in Collin’s next selection for the 2021 Film Festival. Listen in as the Rommies use this movie as a springboard to discuss religion, climate change, and that jaw-dropper of an ending. Plus, stick around as they dive into slightly less somber topics like movie theatre etiquette and movie (slash pharmaceutical?) themed cocktails. Finally, Matt desperately tries to answer the question, “Where is Christopher Abbott??”
