Cracker Classics

The movie: Grandma's Boy (1922)

Ian and Joshua examine Harold Lloyd and the silent era and wonder if there's any connection to that one cringetastic movie from a few years back. There is also an inquiry into what it means exactly to lick your teacher.

The movie: The Day of the Locust (1975)

Joshua and Ian watch this commetary on Hollywood in the 1930s that is supposed to have some horror. But is it just horrible? Ian thinks it's going to be like Fame without the music, while Joshua just hopes for lots of frogs.

The movie: The Philadelphia Story (1940)

Joshua and Ian hope for some good ol' romantic comedy with Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn. Plus there's a drunk Jimmy Stewart. What could possibly go wrong?

The movie: The Jerk (1979)

Ian and Joshua watch this Steve Martin vehicle and wonder why he's called a jerk. They are also reminded of the importance of family and the downsides to capitalism.

The movie: Do the Right Thing (1989)

Ian and Joshua check out this Spike Lee classic and see how people in New York dealt with the heat back when 90 degrees was considered a heat wave. Those were the days!

The movie: Gilda (1946)

Joshua and Ian watch Rita Hayworth not give a damn as they ponder what a prison in Maine has to do with it. Will they have to tunnel their way out of this one? Just how stupid are men when it comes to love?

The movie: Holiday Inn (1942)

Happy Festivus! To celebrate this day for the rest of us, we watch this classic tale of a lazy Bing Crosby and his hotel that's only open on holidays. How terrible of a business model is this? Does it look better from the back? 

The movie: King Kong (1933)

Ian and Joshua finally watch this sci-fi classic and wonder if all apes have a thing for blondes. And just how many dinosaurs are there on that one island? Joshua also hopes for bananas because stereotyping.

The movie: Santa Claus Conquers the Martians (1964)

Joshua and Ian get into the holiday spirit by watching something commonly listed on all-time worst movie lists. They have questions. Why is Santa suddenly in the colonizing mood? Does he use any artillery? Or does he conquer them through the magic of the holiday spirit?

The movie: The Muppet Movie (1979)

Ian and Joshua get a little meta and search for Myth as they learn the story of how the Muppets got their start. Is Miss Piggy just toxic and abusive? Is Rowlf actually playing that piano? Why was Dr. Honeydew creating what was essentially Viagra? Will Animal's head ever shrink back down after all that Viagra?
