Go Flix Yourself

Where you were in '62? Ben, Brad, and Nate weren't born yet, but they spend some time in the past with Nate's movie assignment for the week. Meanwhile, Ben disappoints us all again, and Brad is the movie champion. What does that mean? We're not sure. This is what happens when Brad writes the episode descriptions. We also discuss the trailers for Disney's Haunted Mansion (SPOOPY! NO, THAT'S NOT A TYPO!) and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem (HEROES IN A HALF-SHELL!). Plus, Nate brings another fun game!

We've got fun sounds, yes we do, we've got ear noise, how about you? Listen, Linda!

Ben, Brad, and Nate wish they were rich men, ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum. But they're rich in movies, and isn't that all we need? We've got Luke Starkey returning, and he's joined by Kylie Starkey, the daughter of our old pal Joe Starkey. We're talking about the last movies we saw, whether the kids like to go to theaters, and putting some of Brad's Junk in our mouths. Plus, we watch the trailers for Tetris (IT'S SERIOUS!) and Bert Kreischer's The Machine (RUSSIA AND STUFF!). And finally, Nate brought a great came, and Ben made a terrible song for it. Par for the course.

Who's got the noise for your audio holes?! We do!

Ben, Brad, and Nate had an unexpected week off, but they're back and like movies more than ever! This week, Brad finally caught up on all his assignments, which he never did in high school. Meanwhile, Ben misses an assignment, and Nate makes a deal with the devil.

Plus, we talk about the trailers for Fast X (FAST-TEN YOUR SEATBELTS!), The Flash (I'M BATMAN!), and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (ONE LAST RIDE!). There's also a lot of chatter about Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, and we play a classic game! Rip it and zip it into your audio canals!

TRAILERS:

• Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - (Latest Trailer) - In Marvel Studios' Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, our beloved band of misfits are settling into life on Knowhere. But it isn't long before their lives are upended by the echoes of Rocket's turbulent past. Still reeling from the loss of Gamora, Peter Quill must rally his team around him on a dangerous mission to save Rocket's life—a mission that, if not completed successfully, could lead to the end of the Guardians as we know them.
• FAST X - Official Trailer - (Latest trailer) - Over many missions and against impossible odds, Dom Toretto and his family have outsmarted, out-nerved, and outdriven every foe in their path. Now, they confront the most lethal opponent they’ve ever faced: A terrifying threat emerging from the shadows of the past fueled by blood revenge and determined to shatter this family and destroy everything—and everyone—that Dom loves forever.
• The Flash – Official Trailer - Worlds collide in “The Flash” when Barry uses his superpowers to travel back to change past events. But when his attempt to save his family inadvertently alters the future, Barry becomes trapped in a reality in which General Zod has returned, threatening destruction, and there are no Super Heroes to turn to. That is unless Barry can coax a different Batman out of retirement and rescue an imprisoned Kryptonian… albeit not the one he’s looking for.

Brad is absent, fighting off some form of pestilence from his national tour of seeing Florida's swamps and Utah's Utes, so Ben and Nate had to survive a two-host episode talking about their love for Gerard Butler's (Gerry Butts) new film Plane. We also revisit the discussion about whether M3GAN is a true horror film now that Ben has finally watched it.

As for trailers, we discuss the new trailers for White Men Can't Jump (SEE: BEN KONOWITZ), Guy Ritchie's The Covenant (GYLLENHAAL RETURNS TO WAR), and Strays (R-RATED HOMEWARD BOUND.) And, to not disappoint our game-loving listeners, we played a game about 90s basketball films.

So, stretch those quads, lace up the hightops, prepare the Walkmen, and GO FLIX YOURSELF.

TRAILERS WE WATCHED:

• White Men Can't Jump Trailer - Play hard, hustle harder. White Men Can't Jump, starring Sinqua Walls and Jack Harlow, streaming May 19 on Hulu.
• Guy Ritchie's The Covenant Trailer - Follows Sergeant John, who, on his last tour of duty in Afghanistan, is teamed with local interpreter Ahmed, who risks his own life to carry an injured John across miles of grueling terrain to safety.
• Strays Trailer - They say a dog is a man's best friend, but what if the man is a total dirtbag? In that case, it might be time for some sweet revenge, doggy style. Check out the red band trailer for Strays, an upcoming live-action comedy movie starring Will Ferrell, Will Forte, Jamie Foxx, Isla Fisher, and Randall Park. Strays, directed by Josh Greenbaum, opens in theaters on June 9, 2023.

Ben, Brad, and Nate are back with a bunch of new movies they've watched! Brad has been Sundancin' up a storm, but that means he neglected his assignment yet again.

We've got a trailer triple feature too, as we talk about a new peek at 65 (DINO-MITE!), We Have a Ghost (BUSTIN' MAKES ME FEEL GOOD!), and Polite Society (BIG TROUBLE, LITTLE SISTER!). And finally, Nate brought a game for all the Bills and Wills out there. Crank up the knob, and soak up the sound!

We're back to watching assigned movies for each other, except for Brad. Stubborn as a crossword clue and busy as a cranberry merchant, Mr. Oman refused to participate in the film-watching exercise, claiming that a film festival called "Sundance" and "Charlie's wedding" kept him too busy. But, like wayward sons of disappointed dads, the show must carry on.

In this episode of Go Flix Yourself, Nate is exasperated by Ghostface's shenanigans and the surrounding world's seeming apathy and willingness to embrace Ghostface masks. Brad reports on some of the earliest films he watched from the 2023 Sundance Film Festival. And Ben schooled our self-appointed Steven Spielberg czar on some Spielberg trivia. Finally, there's lots of talk about Scream VI and a game inspired by Albert Brooks's films.

Stop what you're doing and join in on the fun, friends. It's time to Go Flix Yourself.

FILMS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE:

• Lake Placid (1999)
• The Post (2017)
• Scream VI (2023)
• History of the World Part 2 (2023) - television series
• STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie (2023)
• Radical (2023)
• Sometimes I Think About Dying (2023)
• SQUARING THE CIRCLE (the story of hipgnosis) (2023)

EPISODE LINKS:

• History of the World Part 2 Trailer - A sequel 40 years in the making, Mel Brooks' History of the World PART II. A four-night event, streaming on March 6 on Hulu.
• Trailer for Scream VI - Following the latest Ghostface killings, the four survivors leave Woodsboro behind and start a fresh chapter. In Scream VI, Melissa Barrera ("Sam Carpenter"), Jasmin Savoy Brown ("Mindy Meeks-Martin"), Mason Gooding ("Chad Meeks-Martin"), Jenna Ortega ("Tara Carpenter"), Hayden Panettiere ("Kirby Reed") and Courteney Cox ("Gale Weathers") return to their roles in the franchise alongside Jack Champion, Henry Czerny, Liana Liberato, Dermot Mulroney, Devyn Nekoda, Tony Revolori, Josh Segarra, and Samara Weaving.
• STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie - Another movie that Brad loved from Sundance. Description: "At age 16, an undersized army brat landed a part as a 12-year-old on a Canadian television show. Confident he could make it in the U.S., he moved into a tiny apartment in the slums of Beverly Hills. Three years later, he struggled to scrape by and was ready to retreat. But then came his breakout roles — Alex P. Keaton on the sitcom Family Ties and Marty McFly in the Back to the Future trilogy — and a superstar was born. Michael J. Fox dominated the industry for most of the 1980s and '90s, but a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease at age 29 threatened to derail his career."
• Radical - Another film that Brad talked about liking from Sundance. Description: "Who will the sixth-grade students at Jose Urbina Lopez Elementary in Matamoros become? They are among the worst-performing students in Mexico, the world they know is one of violence and hardship. An overbearing discipline, not possibility, dominates their classrooms. It might seem like a dead end… but it is also the perfect place for new teacher Sergio Juarez to try something different. One problem: Sergio (played by an amazing Eugenio Derbez) has no idea what he's doing."
• Sometimes I Think About Dying - Another film that Brad talked about liking from Sundance. Description: "Lost on the dreary Oregon coast, Fran wastes her daylight hours in the solitude of a cubicle, listening to the constant hum of officemates, occasionally daydreaming to pass the time. She is ghosting through life, unable to escape her isolation bubble."
• SQUARING THE CIRCLE (the story of hipgnosis) - One of the films Brad watched and recommended from Sundance. Description: "Anton Corbijn's feature documentary debut, Squaring the Circle (The Story of Hipgnosis), which premiered at the 2022 Telluride Film Festival, is an entertaining tribute to the days of analog creativity and artistic risk."
• Colts Chocolates | Nashville Artisan Chocolate Factory and Gourmet Shop - The sponsor of today's Go Flix Yourself episode is the maker of fine chocolates, Colts Chocolates.

For the first time in forever, Ben, Brad, and Nate all watched the same movie, and they even got guest Joe Whicker to join in the fun! Everyone watched the classic 1949 British film noir The Third Man, starring Joseph Cotten and Orson Welles. But don't worry if you're not all about that black and white cinema because we also talk about the bona fide classic that is A Night at the Roxbury, Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, Matilda: The Musical, and much more. Plus, we watched the trailers for Renfield (SUCKIN' BLOOD AND EATIN' SPIDERS!) and Evil Dead Rise (OF THE PLANET OF THE DEADITES!). Put on your pencil mustache, pop them peepers, and tune in to the noise!

Ben, Brad, and Nate are in 2023, and we hope you are too! We're catching up with all the movies we saw during the Chrimbo Limbo and into the New Year, from Avatar: The Way of Water to Glass Onion, and all of the Vacation movies for some reason. There's also a little tangent about Noah Baumbach movies. because a bunch of us watched his new movie White Noise on Netflix. Plus, Brad's girlfriend Brittney is here, and she's totally real! Come for the movies, stay for the [REDACTED] M&M's. Get that noise in your cranium!

Ben, Brad, and Nate are wrapping up the holiday season by not assigning each other any movies to watch, but they still have plenty of movies to talk about! Luke Starkey is back on the show for the first time in forever, and there's a tasty sponsor (or two) on the scene. Plus, we talk about our Top 10 all-time favorite films, and Ben gets a little butthurt when we take down Predator a few notches. Nate also has a little M. Night Shyamalan bracket to break down. Ring in the New Year with something new for your ear!
