This week we’re taking a break from practicing the shot put, javelin and hammer throw to discuss 1996’s charming MATILDA, directed by Danny DeVito! Our discussion of this adaptation of Roald Dahl’s book includes: Jimmy Hoffa conspiracies, many fake movie ideas, Hunter’s story about meeting Joe Pantoliano and a LOT more!

Happy birthday Tarsem Singh! On this episode, Allison & Hunter talk about The Cell from the year 2000! Hear about this is more than just Silence of the Lambs meets A Nightmare on Elm St. and how we can’t get enoughrio Vincent D’Onofrio. We plug our friends on the Legends of Philadelphia podcast, and solicit our dude Ben Wheatley to hook us up with that good-good log (wink wink, y’know what I’m saying?). Fair warnings: We earn our explicit tag in this episode and some of the film’s subject matter is definitely NOT for everyone.

On this episode, we’re establishing a neural handshake and drifting into a discussion of Guillermo del Toro’s giant robots vs. monsters battle flick, 2013’s Pacific Rim. We talk about our love for GDT, give a brief review of 2021’s Godzilla Vs. Kong, find parallels to both previous episodes Deep Blue Sea and Independence Day, plug China Mieville’s 2000 novel Perdido Street Station, and discuss Mt. Mausoleum’s Feast of Murpis!

Hello Excellent Humans! Roll over and tell Tchaikovsky the news: on this episode we’re covering the entire Beethoven franchise to celebrate our 2nd Year on the Air Anniversary! We’re joined by Krystal TL Brackett & Nicole Carter to help us cover all 8 films released over 22 years! We discuss what makes a good dog movie, what makes a good himbo, and how Beethoven is definitely a feminist ally.

In an effort to bank some episodes, Hunter & Allison are going solo once again for a by-default HWGW Date Watch on Disney's Lilo & Stitch (2002)! Besides our love for the flick, we discuss the WWF’s Doink & Dink, giving the Tasmanian Devil cocaine, how Frozen’s Olaf never recovered from The Snap, the concept of “dark empathy”, our sidejawn podcast Tom @#%&in’ Hanks and manage to squeeze in enough time to fight about whether green mint chip ice cream is good or not!

On this episode, we’re joined remotely by up and coming filmmaker / musician Aydan Schlaffman to talk about Clint Eastwood’s directorial debut - 1971’s Play Misty For Me. And though we are beset by ~tEcHnIcAl DiFfIcUlTiEs~ we manage to talk about: How COOL Clint wants us to think he is, How Jessica Walters is Getting Into Knives, Jim Carrey, jazz and we wonder: Are lumberjacks known to be especially horny?

Hello Excellent Humans! This week we celebrate our milestone 50th episode with a Hate Watch / Great Watch Date Watch - which means no guest - to talk about a blast from our past: 2004’s zombie remake Dawn of the Dead. Find out why this movie is special to us, hear us defend both drones and parkour in movies, imagine Jay Leno as a shitty Tony Stark and hear Allison threaten Enya! We hope you like this episode, but if you don’t just demand we release the Snyder Cut of it and I guess we’ll spend $100 million making a brand new one and pretending it was our vision all along ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hello Excellent Humans! It’s ice to see you again. Cool your heels with us and guest Rowan Avery for a chill discussion of 1997’s BATMAN & ROBIN. Along the way we meet Nate Stillness: Zen Bodyguard, realize that Aquaman is just The Snorks but f*ckable and suggest a Gotham gang of Oily Men. Holy wait, Batman! There’s more: we invent Cod is in the Details - the codpiece discussion podcast - talk cinematic butts, Ray Park, and the first installment of Rowan’s Rankings! And of course, more ice-puns than you can shake a popsicle stick at!

Hello Most Excellent Humans! Today we are joined by the most excellent Gabby Reeves to FACE THE MUSIC with BILL & TED! We discuss the 2020 film (and also the previous 2), how Dave Grohl seems like a sweetie pie, invent Large Hadron Collider porn & reveal why you’ve probably never bumped into Hunter in a pet shop. Be excellent to each other and party on!

Hello Excellent Ducks! On this episode, we get fowl-mouthed (get it?) with 4x guest and roommate Krystal TL Brackett to discuss HOWARD THE DUCK (1986). It’s like Jodorowsky’s Holy Mountain, but full of duck puns! Plus: book recommendations, discussion of the horror of duck genitals and how Jorli McLain honestly rules!
