Grumpy Young Men

Today we’re talking about the greatest whodunit of yesteryear, Netflix’s Glass Onion. We discuss our thoughts on this movie in relation to the first, the extravagant and excellent vacation island aesthetic, and also get confused at the sheer number of actors named Hugh.

Also, why we hate the subtitle for this film. (Recorded January 15th, 2023.)

This week we’re making some bold claims about the calendar year, and looking back on all the predictions we made for last year. Join us as we discuss and reflect on house prices, game awards, box office numbers, beloved animated revivals, celebrity death (that we DON'T WANT TO HAPPEN), and much more.

Also, why we hate time sensitive sign-ups. (Recorded January 8th, 2023.)

After taking a couple weeks off for the holidays, we’re back with what might very well be our longest episode to date with Avatar: The Way of Water. There’s so much to unpack as we discuss the breathtaking visual splendor, the still somewhat-hackneyed writing, the emotionally powerful third act, and try to figure out where this franchise is going to go from here.

Also, why we hate breaking your hand bowling. (Recorded January 1st, 2023.)

This week we’re continuing our conversation on Andor and covering the last six episodes of season one. We discuss all the perfect little details that make this show so amazing, the Narkina 5 arc (which is definitely both our favorites), and the explosive finale that keeps us waiting anxiously for the next season.

Also, why we hate being caught up on media. (Recorded December 10th, 2022.)

(Also also, we accidentally call Tay Kolma—the banker from Chandrila—Corv this entire episode. So every time we say Corv, we probably mean Tay Kolma.)

Today we are covering the first half of Andor, a Star Wars so that we can both easily say is the best Star Wars thing Disney has made so far. We discuss the arcs in the first six episodes, the intricacies of all the terrifically-written characters, and also just shout Star Wars a bunch.

Also, why we hate streaming service glitches. (Recorded December 3rd, 2022.)

This week we’re talking about Netflix’s anime adaptation of Cyberpunk, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. We discuss our favorite aspects of this genre, the cyclical thematic elements, and praise the visual style of the SANDEVISTAAAAAN.

Also, why we hate a lack of good internet jokes. (Recorded November 27th, 2022.)

Today we’re finally wrapping up our series on Al Pacino with one of his… well, one of his movies. We discuss the man himself, get in to all the ways this movie is kinda morally corrupt and racist, and also spend too much time talking about The Godfather: Part III.

Also, why we hate right movie wrong time. (Recorded November 20th, 2022.)

This week we’re continuing our Godfather coverage with the iconic sequel, The Godfather: Part II. We discuss the terrific tragedies, the fall of Michael Corleone, and ask the most important question: when will T2 Trainspotting get the recognition it deserves?

Also, why we hate sleeping in. (Recorded November 13th, 2022.)

Today we’re finally talking about The Godfather, the be-all-end-all of mafia films, 70s cinema, and arguably the greatest film of all-time. We discuss the corruption of Michael Corleone, the messy (but still good) second act, and make a startling comparison to an early 2000s sitcom.

Also, why we hate subtitles that don’t match. (Recorded November 6th, 2022.)

This week we’re talking about Denzel Curry’s latest album Melt My Eyez See Your Future. We discuss the thematic elements of the album, the rich and layered music, and also question why The Smell of Death was included.

Also, why we hate autoplaying videos. (Recorded October 30th, 2022.)
