Buongiorno ragazzi! This one's for all the fraudsters out there, because we're covering the rare Netflix Original W "Ripley" (2024). We delve into Pat's obsession with passports and our ongoing investigation of the case of Drake v. Kendrick. Can modern viewers handle b&w? Why is this show too beautiful for Netflix? How hard is identity theft, really? And just what was Ripley's whole DEAL anyway? Guy was so twisted, he was like the freaking Joker. Click play to get all the answers.

The boys can’t make heads or tails of ‘Mea Culpa’ (2024), a movie that has garnered almost unanimously scathing reviews. Did George get conned in Mexico? Can a movie have a ‘twist’ if it doesn’t make any sense? What’s it like at Shoeless Joe’s? Could Pat survive one sip of the ‘preparation?’ Are the Colorado Avalanche promoting getting cucked? Will mayor Ken Sim let Vancouverites celebrate in the streets? Tap in for the answers, loyalists.

This is a rare breed: a Pat-only episode. Pat sits down, cracks a Guinness 0, and tears through ‘Puppy Love’ (2023), an AMAZON ORIGINAL. He talks about the losers on the Criterion subreddit, the backpack lifestyle, dog-fishing on apps, why is this movie not a tight 90, ‘Marvin’s Room,’ Tik Tok rizz parties, and horrendous first-dates. How many problems you got (a lot), how many times you pod (a lot), how many plots you done forgot (a lot). Back to regularly scheduled podding next week!

Once again, How Original pods for longer than the length of the movie. Always bet the over. The boys cover ‘The Babysitter” (2017) and have a great time even if the movie makes no sense. They talk about the ongoing Drake situation, George’s nonlinear interpretation of the very linear movie, taking her to the Hyatt and then freaking it, friend of the pod Sid from ‘Toy Story,’ learning to embrace the mysteries of Criterion 24/7, and the traumas of being a cadet. Plus: George thinks he should randomly get a week off the pod for vacation?? Okay, bud. Btw the movies the boys watched in the background on mute were “Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence” (1983), and then “Night on Earth” (1991), if you’re a fellow Criterion critter. 

Sorry Pat, we're actually not covering ABC's hit show "Lost" (2004-2010). This week we delve into "The Lost Daughter" (2021). We also discuss munching raw spinach over the sink for health points, spoiler etiquette, and the microbiome of Kevin Smith's jorts. Is Ben Affleck's character in "Jersey Girl" jerker of the year? Is J. Cole too humble, or not humble enough? Is George just stupid for buying a sage suit? Is the big one cap? The answers may surprise you...

This episode has been hurtling towards listeners for a while now, much like a world-ending asteroid. This week the boys cover ‘Don’t Look Up’ (2021), a true extinction event of a movie, a real stinker. Pat and George talk about apocalypse survival tactics, attractive stars playing frumpy, should Leo and Jonah have swapped roles, where was China in all this, the allure of being a scientist with clout, and much more. Pat also exhumes a divisive 2007 forum debate about whether Jessica Biel or Jessica Alba was hotter. If you have strong opinions on this matter, or anything else discussed in this video episode, feel free to write us.

Don't you Irish Wish (2024) you were listening to How Original right now? Well, you're in the right timeline, baby. Yes, Pat's still in love with Lindsay Lohan like it's 2007. We talk about the ethics of manipulating info discovered in alternate timelines, the fiction of the Huberman lab, scenes where writers stare at Chapter 1, the psychosexual interiority of Meek Mill, a proper pint of Guinness, and the Kennedy families. This is a dream come true for all the rom com heads out there.

Heavy weighs Tim "The Big Dog" Chalamet's crown in "The King" (2019). In this episode we worship at the church of Tim, ruminating on topics such as questionable car purchases, framed bedside celeb photos, Pat's strange sword addiction, Lilly Rose-Depp's sizeable aura, period piece pedanticism, fighting in the muddiest field of all time, AND MORE. Are you as Timulated as we are? Level with us.

Please, someone ground Sandler. Bring our guy home. This week the boys are coming to you live from CzechConnect, discussing Spaceman (2024). We also tackle the honestly more riveting topics of donair hands, zero g "emissions", land vs. sea vs. air actors, unnecessary reskins of classic movies, the pantheon critters we've sent into space, and MUCH more.

Finally, the boys enter the illustrious world of spinoff movies. This one ain't bad, if you're into that kind of thing. Pat and George riff on "El Camino" and greedy TV fans, how to dress when you're on the lam, comfort movies, Pat's issues with the smol beanification of Jesse Pinkman by fans, the disappointingly brief screentime given to the actual El Camino, and the joys of being wordmaxxed bookcels. This episode is on the shorter side - the rare case we clock in UNDER the movie's runtime, not that we're constantly embattled because of this joke...
