Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films

Life of the Party is a Melissa McCarthy movie that made $65 million at the box office. It's a kind of riff on Back to School. Jason hates it. Todd loves Melissa McCarthy no matter what. They also talk a lot about losers and what should be done with them. Spoiler alert: at the end they feel terrible.

No Safe Haven is a revenge thriller with one Wings Hauser, easily the most favored actor of this podcast. Jason's backside is bothering him and Todd is facing a professional existential crisis, so they mostly ignore Wings in order to talk about what is wrong with society and how much they would like to fix it except they have no money. Oh, and Doctor Zhivago. 

Possession is a horror movie with Sam Neil that feels like you are watching scene work from an acting class. Jason and Todd sometimes get mesmerized by the acting in this movie enough to actually talk about the movie itself, but they also talk about children's television, anal surgery, and what kinds of guns they like to shoot. Also, they breakdown the Oscar movies they've seen. Which isn't all of them. Or even that many. Jason likes Dream Scenario more than The Zone of Interest, even though the former was nominated for nothing.

Dogs is a Jaws rip-off with delightful domesticated dogs instead of a shark. It's got that guy who played Fletch's ex-wife's lawyer in those Chevy Chase movies. Anyway, Jason and Todd mostly talk about two William Friedkin films of varying quality, that guy who directed that Oscar thing that directed other movies they might have liked, and also fantasize out loud about cosmetic surgeries they wish they could afford. They do acknowledge the movie they are watching, mostly because even the attack dogs are adorably friendly and just want hugs - which they get a lot of, properly.

Dangerous Men is a DIY passion project by a guy named John Rad about a woman getting revenge on men for being total douche canoes. Its running time is an hour and twenty minutes, but this podcast lasts for more than two hours because Jason and Todd have to talk about the horrors of aging, the ups and downs of mushroom trips, and the third season of True Detective.

The Postman is a three hour Waterworld without water. Jason and Todd talk through the whole thing, mostly about our weight insecurities, the gift of Tom Petty, and the power of The Church over filmmaking. After this, they'll see you in the New Year, which is an election year. Oh yeah, they also talk about suicide.

Silverado is an 80s western that Jason hates so much he wanted to do a two and a half hour podcast about it. Of course, Jason and Todd barely talk about the movie at all, instead talking about Theresa Russell, the importance of the audition process, and then get in a debate about Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Julianna Margulies. Also they talk about crying.

Tough Guys Don't Dance is a neo-noir picture from Norman Mailer, in which homophobic misogynists do horrible things to each other in Provincetown, MA. Jason and Todd talk about what this movie meant in their childhoods, discuss Jason's troubles operating an iPad, and Todd reminds Jason that he was once Albert Maysles' house boy for a weekend.

Airport is a movie about an airport run by incompetents. Jason and Todd talk about why they love disaster movies even though that's ghoulish, Jason discusses how various health troubles make sex uninviting, and Todd remembers his favorite shot from Airport '77. It's all right here, folks!

Blades is an 80s movie about a killer lawnmower terrorizing a golf course. Jason and Todd mostly talk about Todd's son, the homeless crisis, and how this movie is way better than any Marvel film. The effects are better.
