Put on some Van Morrison and don’t eat that stale donut—this week we’re watching The Five Year Engagement! Alex and Sean have never seen this romcom from 2012, so we go to San Francisco, then to Michigan, then back to San Francisco to watch this star-studded comedy. So put on your knitted sweater, grab the receipts (the taxman waits for no one), and get in the taco truck for this week’s episode!

Nearly 35 years ago this month, When Harry Met Sally took the summer box office by storm and the rom-com genre along with it. The 1989 hit has since become the standard to which all "will-they-won't-they" movies are held too, so we're here to revisit what makes it such a beloved film. Since it's such a timeless classic, Edwin hasn't seen it of course.

So grab your road trip grapes, dry clean your cable-knit sweaters, and pack some salad dressing on the side while we kick back watch Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan talk about sex.

This week on the heels of Father's Day, Sean makes Edwin fill a horse head-sized hole in his viewing resume by sitting down to watch The Godfather. Considered to be one of the greatest movies ever made, Francis Ford Coppola's 1972 masterpiece remains as captivating as it was half a century ago, and we had one shotgun blast of a time revisiting this classic alongside a first timer.

So grab some oranges from the produce stand, hide your pistol behind the toilet, and make us some offers we can't refuse while we dive into the Corleone family business.

Wake up, you’re going to be late—this week we’re watching Your Name! Both Sean and Alex have never seen this high school, doomsday, body-swapping, time traveling, romantic animated feature from 2016. So put on your uniform, drink your sake, and remember our names for this week’s movie and podcast.

This week we strap Sean into an unknown alien device and shoot him onto his couch to watch Contact, the 1997 hit based on Carl Sagan's novel of the same name. What would happen if another planet contacted us? How would we act? Which hunky pastor/writer akin to Matthew McConaughey could we turn too for answers?

So turn up your radio telescope headphones, decipher 60,000 pages of data, and pop open a box of Cracker Jacks while we ponder these questions!

This week we head to a castle/high school for some Shakespeare in Seattle a.k.a. the 1999 rom-com classic 10 Things I Hate About You. Both Edwin and Alex are watching it for the first time, and - much like young high school love - it was a thrilling and wild ride. So grab your paint-filled water balloons, gas up the Toyota Tercel, and finish up your erotic novels while we dive into this iconic teen flick.

Quick--hide the diamonds in that wheelchair cushion--this week we're watching Rumble in the Bronx! Sean's never seen this Jackie Chan classic, so we take a trip back to the 90s for an action-packed epic that definitely takes place in New York, and not Vancouver, BC.

So put on your crispiest light wash jeans, order an ice cream, and hop on board the hovercraft for this week's movie and pod.

This week we're joined by Peter Frick-Wright (host of the Outside Podcast), who sits down for a first viewing of 1991's Point Break starring Keanu Reeves and Patrick Swayze. But wait, there's more! Alex, Sean, and Edwin are also watching the 2015 remake of Point Break for the first time - a movie that does definitely NOT star Keanu Reeves or Patrick Swayze.

So grab your surfboard, put on your LBJ mask, and polish off a couple of meatball subs while we break down two versions of a crime/action classic.

Check out Peter and The Outside Podcast wherever you get podcasts.

Sean is in the hot seat this week to watch the 1979 sci-fi classic Alien for the first time. But fear not, Alex and Edwin are there to peel off any facehuggers that get snagged in Sean's beard. We break down the scope of the movie, how they pulled this off in the 70's, and deep dive into the decisions that made Alien the heralded icon it remains to this day.

So unlock your sleeping pods, top off your flamethrower tanks, and get ready for a thrill ride that'll burst right out of your chest!
