Blue Valentine is definitely a feel bad movie of the year. Yikes. What a great hang this Ryan Gosling, Michelle Williams joint is. The boyfriend from Roma has a challenger for worst BF ever. Join the guys as they discuss this expertly-crafted, incredibly unpleasant movie. Old Joel from Eternal Sunshine doesn’t seem so bad anymore.

This week on the pod: Have you ever seen a human heart? It looks like a fist, wrapped in blood!! The guys are doing 2004’s Closer, the adaption of the play by Patrick Marber. What a delight. Clive Owen is a gleeful savage and Natalie Portman shakes off years of green-screen franchise drudgery to shine. Adultery has never been so captivating. Oh, and then James and Marco blather about the Oscars for a while at the end.

This week on the pod, Romance Month continues with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the Michel Gondry/Charlie Kaufman joint from 2004. Back in the day, Kate Winslet’s Clementine raged against being a Manic Pixie Dream Girl before we even had a term for them. Has JT ever been in love? Will Marco cry? Find out! Happy Valentines Day!! XOXO

It’s Romance Month on the podcast! Kicking things off is David Fincher’s Gone Girl, starring Ben Affleck and Rosamond Pike. What a happy couple! Join us as we celebrate our crushes on Amy Dunne, praise Gillian Flynn’s writing, and dunk on Scoot McNairy.

This week on the pod, another 1999 classic: Cruel Intentions. Marco and James reminisce about that halcyon era when Joshua Jackson kept showing up in supporting roles with bleached hair, and Sarah Michelle Gellar shocked us all with a decidedly un-Buffy villainous turn in the adaptation of Les Liaisons dangereuses. Also, Ryan Phillippe is here, stealing Hayden Christensen’s lunch money. Plus, some spoilery talk at the end about 2019’s Serenity.

This week on the pod, an old teen classic from the end of the last millennium: 10 Things I Hate About You! You guys voted for it, and we watched it. Time travel with us, back to a land of ska bands, Nice Guys, crazy high school stadiums, and paintball make out sessions.

Happy New Year! James and Marco are in high spirits for this Holiday Party Q&A that somehow went like four hours. We’re sorry in advance. Thanks for listening!

Happy Festivus, bitches. This week on the pod, we’re celebrating the holidays by watching the anti-Christmas film Batman Returns. Raquel Miranda joins us as we break down the weird Tim Burton aesthetic, Selina Kyle’s apartment, the Penguin’s awfulness, and whether or not Bruce Wayne can get it.

This week on the podcast, Marco and James are revisiting an old favorite: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. We’ve both loved this movie since we saw it as kids, and have a great time returning to Sherwood Forest with Kevin Costner’s non-existent accent, Morgan Freeman being awesome, and Alan Rickman hamming it up all over the place.

We started this podcast off with eight straight Harry Potter movies, so I guess we have to do Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald too. Ehh. What a mess. Please join Marco and JT as they rant about all the incredibly dumb things in this movie — and especially Credence, who sucks. JK Rowling: we know you can do better. David Yates: we know you can’t, get lost.
