Go fix yourself a White Russian, we'll wait, because we're watching The Big Lebowski with our good friend Jessica. Besides, you wouldn't want us to drink alone, would you? We talk a LOT about the characters in this film, which makes sense, because it is a Coen brothers film after all. We also have a bunch to say about the best performance of John Goodman's career. And what's up with those dream sequences? If that's what acid flashbacks are about, sign me up! Well, minus all nihilists with gigantic scissors...

Grab your truck and air compressor, 'cause in this episode we review the 2013 Alexander Payne film Nebraska with our guest Patrick Hill. We discuss Payne's portrayal of the Midwest, June Squibb's "breakout" performance and several characters' hair. And does Bruce Dern's character Woody have dementia or is he just deluded? Plus, Patrick is the first guest to recommend an EXPERIENCE rather than a movie or TV show!

Jessica, Charlie and our guest Megan Henecke watch "The Apartment"(1960), starring Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine. This movie really makes us wonder whether all 50's and 60's office parties were like orgies, between this and Mad Men... We discuss the rampant sexism contained in the film; but how much was an intentional commentary and how much was just a product of the times? And we talk at length about the Fred MacMurray villain that Megan refers to as "worse villain than Bane". And we identify a couple of minor characters that deserve their own movies.

Charlie and Jessica discuss the incredibly influential 1956 film "The Searchers" with our incredibly combative executive producer Adam Gobeski. Is the main character, Ethan, a psychopath? Is his best "friend" Martin just a 13 year old girl? Is every person named Charlie a complete chunk head?? How will you ever know unless you listen?!

This time, we strong-arm Ally (and Adam) into watching the 1989 drama Dead Poets Society. We get confused about which redhead is which, and Charlie can't keep the characters names in his head for more than 5 seconds. Plus, we look fondly back at memories of teachers from our past, and which movies they made us watch when they were presumably hung-over.

Welcome to the first episode! We forced our friends Adam and Ally to discuss the 1983 sci-fi comedy/drama/all-around-fun-movie WarGames. We discuss whether Lightman's parents should have had their own movie, sequels that don't exist (oh wait, they do!) and hair tousling.
