Ben & Ben & the Criterion

The boys are back! Here with the wackiest show they've ever done, Hilton and Weaver discuss a Monty Python classic. Tune in to find out how Weaver is definitely not a man concerned with the details.

"Call your girlfriend

It's time you had the talk

Give your reasons

Say it's not her fault

But you just met somebody new"

Except you don't call her. You stay with her because you've built a life with her. This is just the most intense, fleeting, ephemeral experience of your life. You're never going to forget me, but you're going to stay with her. And move to Johannesburg. But that's beside the point.

Brief Encounter. What a gem. Go get it in your ear holes!

Sorry for the delay on this one gang--Hilton had a busy week and did a poor job with his time management. This week we discuss one of the first real independent films. To keep the mood light we also throw in some baby goats, so there's something for the whole family (#fam).

*WE ARE BEN & BEN & THE CRITERION, AND THIS WEEK, WE'RE HERE TO MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT DEATH AND GET SAD AND STUFF. ONETWOTHREEFOUR-*

Truly tho, this is Weaver's favorite movie in a long time. He ranks it as his second favorite of the entire pod! Meanwhile, of course, Hilton didn't find a version with subtitles, so he had no idea what was going on.

Anyway, give it a listen and get you some art!

Hey Babiez! This week on BB&C--the boys dive into a morass of confusion and joy with Lynch's classic Mulholland Drive! Hilton totally gets the film, but just loves to hear the way Weaver tells it, and you will too.

Tired of thinking about the current firearm debate in America? Then don't listen to this episode, cuz the movie is exclusively about buying guns. The Bens discuss 70s fashion, bitcoin, and this cool 70s B-side!

The boys are back! Ben and Ben talk Wes Anderson's first film, living in Nashville, and catch up on things!

Well hello there! We're finally back after some technical issues with Hilton's computer, and we are talking about personal shopper. For those of you who don't know, it's definitely not a free wheeling whimsical movie about a personal shopper getting into shenanigans (which one of us definitely thought). It's a spoopy movie about a medium looking for a sign from her twin brother who passed away shortly before the events of the movie began.

Hey Gang! this week we face down the inevitable nuclear holocaust while watching Dr. Strangelove. Despite (or because of) this heavy content, we get even more distracted than usual. And Weaver eats again. This is Hilton's first attempt at sound editing, so lower those standards!

Ya'll are in for a treat. Red. Stairways. Noodles. Lush. Heartbreak. Weaver inducts this one into his canon of life-changing movies. Hilton liked it, too, but like Weaver was ALL about it. Stick around for the end, when Weaver acts out a scene from the movie. Go get you some moody love!
