Despite having them around in her life peripherally growing up, Jess has not really seen a lot of westerns. Matt figured that, if they were going to watch a western for the podcast, it should be a fun time. It doesn't hurt that it stars Paul Newman, Robert Redford, and Katherine Ross all in their...*ahem* late 60's prime. Did "throuples" exist in the old west?

Don't worry, that topic will be discussed, along with a variety of ways that the film subverts tropes and starts a few of its own, the way the visuals and sounds tell their story, fast-talking criminals, and why you should never risk your life stopping men from robbing your train. (Poor Woodcock...) Prepare to have 'Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head' stuck in your brain, Jess may never get it out of hers!

The 2010 Dreamworks animated film How To Train Your Dragon was one that Matt had never seen (much to the chagrin of his younger brother). There were poorly named Viking children, there were cute dragons that behaved likely puppies, and Scottish accents. Not sure if he was prepared for all of those, but it did give him and Jess plenty to talk about.

In this episode, they dive into tradition versus knowledge, questionable war planning, and how NOT to raise your child. Matt also believes this film is an entire thematic love letter to university researchers. No, he's not kidding.

One of Matt's favourite films of all time is The Apartment, and he introduced it to Jess many years ago. So for this episode, they decided to share it with their friends Kim and Jason and bring them on the podcast to talk about it! It's the second episode with special guests, and even though there are four voices in it, they definitely share the airtime far more seamlessly than CC Baxter's coworkers did with "sharing" his apartment...

There's a lot of great stuff to talk about in this classic Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine film from 1960: what office work used to look like, the array of very stylish glasses being worn, men behaving badly, the myriad of stellar characters, and Miss Olson (Kim's new hero). It also fits the time of year holiday-wise, and the film has some great moments humour-wise, story-wise, and otherwise...wise. Just don't forget to leave your key under the mat when you leave!

We're heading back to the 1700's where Jess is going to get a taste of the classic 1984 period piece Amadeus, a fictionalized film revolving around Mozart. She had never seen it, and Matt was not able to successfully convince her to wear a powdered wig to watch it. Good thing, because they watched the Director's Cut (which Matt had also never seen) and three hours in a powdered wig does not sound like a good time for anyone.

There is, however, some stellar costuming, acting, and (of course) music to go with all of these hair pieces. Jess gets to talk about the range of father-son relationships, the not-so-subtle religious overtones, genius versus madness, and the concepts of high- and low-brow art. Also, don't bring up the horse on stage...it's a bit of a triggering subject...

Ever the romantic comedy enthusiast *insert sarcasm sign here*, Matt had not ever had the chance to see The Proposal, with peak Sandra Bullock and a wee-baby Ryan Reynolds. Jess did promise him some Betty White hilarity, so at least he knew he had that to look forward to. She didn't warn him about being treated to the only male exotic dancer on a remote Alaskan island, but...really, can you ever be prepared for that?

Outside of this, we will talk about all sorts of topics: unscripted hilarity, cultural appropriation, the romantic comedy genre in the 2000's, "Relax" by Frankie Goes To Hollywood...like the baby-making blanket, there's some fertile ground to cover here!

It's spooky season, and Matt has been able to prep Jess over the course of many months to watch something a bit scary. For our annual October movie watching traditional, we watched the modern classic Get Out. Jess was ready for scares, and she got them...but not exactly as she fully expected.

Anyone that has seen this one knows that Jess was going to have PLENTY to talk about: racial micro- and macro-aggressions, the use of humour, certified bad times, and why the women in the film might be the most evil. Also, we heap praise upon Rod: the hero the people need. Stir your tea slowly, the sunken place awaits!

Jess and Matt have already seen (and love) All About Eve, the classic Hollywood tale of a woman clawing her way to fame. Our dear friend Ashley, however, had not. Considering that Ashley is a classic film junkie, we were stunned and just had to take the opportunity to have her as our first podcast guest!

This time around, Ashley gets to lead the discussion, and we get into all sorts of topics: the snappy dialogue, the "bad friends", the relation of this story to ones about strippers and aerobics influencers, and *gasp* unmarried women in their 40s. Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy (and hilarious) podcast!

Matt had not seen Spike Lee's Inside Man. Jess had also not seen Inside Man. And thus, the first version of "I Can't Believe WE Haven't Seen..." was born!

Good thing there was lots to talk about, even if neither of us had any idea who would be leading the conversation. Despite this chaotic set-up, we still got to talk about the roles of money and power, post-9/11 America, a very clever screenplay, and the 2006 of it all. Including the flip phones with ringtones. And the iPods with clickwheels. What a time...

Jess had never had the chance to "witness" any of the out-and-out craziness that is Mad Max: Fury Road when it came out in 2015: the wild vehicles, the War Boys, Immortan Joe (who will be referred to by a...*ahem*...different name most of the way through this episode), and the convoy of Max and Furiosa looking to find the Green Place. It goes about as well as you would expect in an Australian post-apocalyptic setting.

We're going to talk about women taking back power, bands suspended on top of big rigs, the "show don't tell" approach in movies, and a whoooooooole lotta weirdness. Also, Jess' "live tweet" style reactions are priceless. So grab a drink, but don't get addicted to the water.

Saved! is a movie Matt had always seen at the video rental stores but had never checked out. Maybe it's because it came out around the same time as Mean Girls (possibly), maybe it's because he didn't know it was supposed to be a satire (maybe), or maybe it's because he was too busy watching pretentious hipster movies (most definitely).

Now that Jess has introduced him to it, they get to talk about Billboard Jesus, Macaulay Culkin's hilarious two-wheeled character turn, how it stacks up to some other films in the teen/satirical movie canon, and the "2004" of it all. Will the Christian Jewels and their Bible tossing win the day?
