Are aliens from outer space attacking the human race considered its own movie genre? Because here is another picture where that happens. This time it’s Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum  and a cast of dozens turn to experience the pain of encountering a super advanced race from the stars. Clearly, Hollywood and the general public love this plot but does that mean this movie still works?

While this would make an excellent title for a documentary about US foreign policy this movie is not that. Instead, the picture is about a dad with a past that comes back to haunt him. Join the boys as they discuss if it still works.

Billy Crystal is a psychiatrist. Robert DeNiro is a mobster who has panic attacks. Together they make mental health and murder go together. And yes, the plot here is the same premise as the beloved HBO TV show, The Sopranos which also premiered in 1999. Coincidence? Who knows. The boys aren’t going to analyze that. They are going to analyze this.

Did you know polyester is derived from petroleum? Were you aware it’s wrinkle and shrink resistant? It’s also bad for the environment and releases microplastics? What’s that got to do with this movie that’s a parody of melodramas from  the 1950s? Nothing. But this is the boys first John Waters movie for the pod. They’re joined by John Waters fanboy Mark Cannistraro to further the conversation.

In heaven everything is fine but can the same be said for this movie? This is the story of a man who knocks up his girlfriend and enters an unhappy marriage. The twist? The film is directed by David Lynch so nothing about it is that straight forward. Join the boys as they discuss.

Mel Gibson, Hollywood’s version of Elon Musk, stars in this movie about a man who loses his faith and then gets it back. Of course, he loses his religion for the same exact reason he had one. Because the script says so, that’s why! Join the boys as they discuss.

The first kind is unidentified flying objects. The second kind is finding some sort of physical evidence. But this?  This is the third kind.  And those aren’t the answers the boys need. The answer they need to know is if this movie still works.
