Is It for Reel

Oh to be young and indestructible.  Reminiscing, our podders watched Go and remembered when they could handle a Miata to the face or the intense close talking of William Fichtner.  So let's hang with Joey Potter,  Bailey, the sheriff from Deadwood, and frickin' Taye Diggs.  It's a party y'all!!!!!

Christmas time! Christmas time is here!!!! So our podders watched a straight up Christmas Movie this time.  That's right, it's National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.  So check your hazardous disposal manuals, throw back a moose load of eggnog, and find out why the carpet is all wet, Todd! I don't know, Margo! That's right, it's Christmas, and we're all in misery!  Huzzah!!!

It's time for your Is It for REEL Christmas present.  Huzzah.  That's right, once again you get to watch a terrible, cheesy, christmas movie with your favorite podders.  This year It's A Knight Before Christmas.  So get ready for some Mystery Science Theater hijinks.  So plug in your netflix, fire up the podcast, press play, and enjoy a movie about a medieval knight with an old crone sidekick helping a small town gal get her groove back.  

It's almost New Year's where we make resolutions to better ourselves.  Well, our podders thought WWBJD and said F**k it, I like me just how I am, so I'm not changing s**t!  That's right, we just watched Bridget Jones's Diary.  So double check the party invite on the dress code, keep your Texas drawl in check, and get ready for two British dudes to straight up murder each other over you.  Also, who knew there was an extra S after Jones'?  Silly British people!

It's Christmastime so we need to find out who is naughty and nice AND whether they got that way through nature or nurture. For research purposes, our Podders watched Trading Places.  So brush up on how commodity markets work, throw some salmon down your shirt, and do a quick google search if your holiday costume is culturally appropriate (if you are currently Asking Jeeves, just go ahead and change!).  Now, jump on that party train!!!!!!

The leaves are falling, turkeys are basting, and the world has soccer fever (and probably a few other things).  That's right it's the World Cup so we watched Victory! You know, that world War II prison escape movie.  No, not that one.  We're talking about the one with Pelé, Batman's butler, and Rocky Balboa.  So make your best paper mâché dummy and slide tackle your way to freedom. Victoire!!!!!

Roommates am I right? Always leaving dirty dishes in the sink, playing their rock and roll music too loud, and making you raise a child with them.  Yup, we watched Object of My Affection.  So cram yourself into a spacious Brooklyn apartment with J-Anis and P-Rudd, and see if these BFFs will they or won't they.  Don't forget your dancing eye patch! 

Just when you thought you were done with Halloween, they pull you right back in.  Put on your bunny masks, our podders watched Donnie Darko.  So throw on your Sparkle Motion sweatshirt, learn some fun new ways to curse, and get ready for a long drawn out convo on time travel just like your college boyfriend used to have at like 3:00 AM.  (Come on Chaz, some of us have class in the morning!)  Also, let's figure out the wrong way to pronounce Jenna Malone's name.  Spoiler it rhymes with Balogna. 

It's peak spooky season y'all. So our podders dove into their TV's to a time when scary movies were made for kids!  That's right we watched Poltergeist.  So check and see if you have a light sensitivity (seriously this movie is sponsored by 300 watt strobe lights), check the expire date on your fridge meats, and buy a kid a scary clown.  Every kid needs a scary clown in their bedroom.  They're here!!!!!

Brooms are in the air, y'all!  To celebrate, our podders watched Hocus Pocus.  So, throw some moths in your mouth, head on down to city hall for that all night rager, and watch out for those child murdering witches.  Woo-hoo, witchy woman see how high she flies.
