Danny and Kevin kick off a new season with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The film is both the last entry in the endlessly fascinating DC Extended Universe and a belated sequel to the hit film Aquaman from 2018. The fellas discuss the film's simple, yet effective, pleasures and lament that DC hit its stride in the final years of its existence. We lay the blame squarely at you, Zack Snyder! That's right, Zack Snyder listens to our podcast.

Danny and Kevin close out the season with a commentary for the Coen Brothers' classic: The Big Lebowski. Set in 1991 and released in 1998, the film is the story of who the hell knows or cares. On paper, it's a film noir where the Bogart character is a buffoon but in practice it's just a bunch of Los Angeles misfits vibing during the Gulf War. It's probably the funniest film ever but certainly the funniest film as far as this pod is concerned. So take her easy and enjoy a New Year's Eve gift from your favorite podcast hosts.

Everything that has a beginning has an end...wait...that's from the wrong trilogy capper from 2003. Here at last, on the shores of the sea comes the end of our Fellowship. That's better!

As is Coffee and Deathsticks holiday tradition, Danny and Kevin return to Middle-earth and revisit the final entry of the holy trilogy, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Is this the most flawed film in the series? Maybe, but it's a masterpiece nevertheless, and your favorite hobbitses are here to remind you of why this movie is so awesome.

Danny and Kevin discuss another Apple TV-produced historical epic from another great (ish) director: Napoleon, Ridley Scott's much anticipated biopic about history's most famous Corsican is. If you liked Rogue One, you'll enjoy Napoleon's unconventional narrative structure. And if you don't, check out Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece, Barry Lyndon. In the meantime, listen as the fellas grapple with the eternal contradiction that is Sir Ridley Scott.

Godzilla is back when and where he belongs: post-WWII Japan. Danny and Kevin were pleasantly surprised by Godzilla: Minus One, the first ever remake of the original 1954 Godzilla film. Deemed "the best movie about nuclear power in 2023" by Coffee and Deathsticks, listen as the duo boast about the latest Toho produced Godzilla picture.

November 2023. Kevin is on vacation. Only Danny is able to host. Podcasts are now battlefields. This week, special guest Ryan Marchant joins Danny to discuss Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, a Certified Marchant Brothers Classic. The pair talk about pistols, boats, cactus booze, and positive manliness. The episode goes off the rails immediately but you will learn the name of Maggie Smith's son.

In honor of the 60th anniversary of John F. Kennedy getting the worst headache of his life, Danny and Kevin discuss Oliver Stone's 1991 cinematic masterpiece: JFK. The film is both a kaleidoscopic descent into madness powered by righteous paranoia and a cartoonishly libelous cavalcade of nonsense. The duo discuss the merits of the film (which are many) and the quagmire that is the Kennedy Assassination (which actually happened, kids!). Who really shot JFK? You won't get that answer here, but you will learn how to perpetually win the Kevin Bacon game.

Danny and Kevin discuss the latest Martin Scorsese picture: Killers of the Flower Moon. The film is a three-and-a-half hour journey into America's dark heart and probably one of Marty's best films. Quentin Tarantino's Directors-Get-Bad-When-They're-Old theory be damned...the Maestro still has it and only Death will take it away from him. Listen as Danny and Kevin tastelessly reference Mount Rushmore and totem poles during their review of a movie exploring atrocities committed against the Osage people.

Danny and Kevin made a great call and decided to celebrate Halloween with a commentary on a horror-adjacent classic: James Cameron's 1986 masterpiece, Aliens. The duo discuss why this 37-year-old film holds up so well: The spot-on casting, the incredible production design, the perfectly-dated models and miniatures, the rousing James Horner score...all under the direction of a master of blockbuster storytelling. So strap in, you're on an express elevator to Movie Heaven, going up.
