Box Office Birthday

Brandon and Megan watch the Marlon Wayans ghost basketball movie, The Sixth Man, in our longest episode to date! Either our brand new segment or an excess of truly upsetting pop culture news for the week is to blame. Megan infects Brandon with her inability to pronounce Wayans, Brandon works on his new podcasting laugh. Make sure to stick around to the end of the episode when we uncover the haunting secret behind this film! 

Coming Attractions trailers for April 4:

• Double Team
• That Old Feeling
• Inventing the Abbotts
• The Saint

This week, Brandon and Megan watch Jim Carrey’s Liar Liar. Several of Megan’s mortifying flaws are revealed – problems with pronouncing the name Wayans, an inability to gauge the age of children ages 0-12, and bad taste in Pop-Tarts. Additionally, we contemplate how Jim Carrey gets his face to do that, and evaluate the similarities this film has with the Fast & Furious franchise. 

Coming Attractions trailers for March 28:

• The Devil's Own
• B.A.P.S.
• Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie
• Cats Don't Dance

This week, Brandon and Megan tackle the Tim Allen family comedy, Jungle 2 Jungle. You wouldn’t know it from the excessive amount of time this episode devotes to arguing about Star Wars though!

This week, Brandon and Megan watched the adaptation of the stage play, Marvin's Room. (And it really makes more sense if you know that in advance!) Brandon tries to fine tune his theory on when Disney started their mispronunciation campaign for Pirates of the Caribbean and Megan just tries to locate the plot. We both are concerned about the wigs.

Brandon and Megan celebrate Valentine’s Day with their first romantic comedy, Fools Rush In. But before we even get to the film’s abundance of canyon metaphors, we cover Brandon’s close personal relationship with Michelle Kwan, a bad date anecdote from Megan, and the history of President’s Day.

Disaster strikes as Brandon and Megan watch the volcano flick, Dante’s Peak – neither one of us is a certified volcanologist and it shows. We spend most of our time cultivating a grudge against Ruth, the world’s dumbest grandma and wondering. . . why did the volcanologist cross the lava??

This week, Brandon and Megan get political, barely, with the Charlie Sheen thriller, Shadow Conspiracy. It gets about as serious as you’d expect from a movie that starts with basket of puppies and ends with a gift-wrapped toy helicopter. Megan also gives a mini-film lesson on split diopter shots and goes on a prolonged tangent on how this movie is kinda sorta responsible for Bruce Willis being in Armageddon.

This week, Brandon and Megan dive into Zeus and Roxanne, the story of interspecies… friendship? … romance? … sexual harassment?? between a dog and dolphin. We try to determine the exact amount of Pepé Le Pew vibes, debate how much wiggle room a marine biology research grant might have, and wedge in multiple Fantasy High references in honor of the D20 MSG show.
