Jason and Todd Talk Through Lousy Films

Like Normal People is a TV movie where Shaun Cassidy plays a guy constantly referred to as a word that nobody dares use anymore. Jason thinks Shaun Cassidy is Andrew McCarthy and then spends much of the podcast fumbling around the word nobody uses anymore while Todd freely admits to getting choked up in the first act before losing interest somewhere in the second act and then not finding an actual third act. 

The Great Outdoors is a movie from the John Hughes/John Candy team up era of comedy movies. Jason doesn't like family comedies, but Todd is okay with them if they have raccoons and teen romance, and each character gets their own specific scoring. Mostly Jason and Todd talk about current event issues like homelessness and also television monologues. The movie is only 90 minutes, but this conversation runs longer. Which is what you have come to expect from this podcast.

Lost Horizon is a movie about a plane filled with rich white trash crash landing into a musical. Jason and Todd don't like musicals to begin with, but this thing really brings a new meaning to the concept of lousy films. Also, George Kennedy had hard water, and nobody ever told him about filtration systems. Doesn't matter, Jason and Todd talk about loads of other stuff, including weight loss and the inherent problems with immortality and as always - Godzilla. Jason says the c-word a lot in reference to the Dalai Lama. 

House Party is another movie called House Party made for this year, 2023. Jason doesn't like it and talks about his anal fissure. Todd reminisces about his youth when it seemed like he had a really good shot at lucrative acting gigs. He doesn't like the new House Party, either, but he loves the old ones. He saw House Party 3 in the theater! No matter, because this podcast has made a list! Here's the list: 30 Best Cult Movie Podcasts You Must Follow in 2023 (feedspot.com)

Trackdown is a movie that has Eric Estrada in it. One time, Todd saw Eric Estrada's personal locker at a cigar store in Studio City. But that's not at all what Jason and Todd talk about while watching this movie that has Anne Archer in it, they've got to talk about people with the last name Sidaris and socio-political issues they clearly don't fully understand while still finding reasons to ALMOST yell at each other about. But they don't quite yell. That's probably a disappointment, isn't it?

Stewardess School is an 80s comedy about exactly what it sounds like.  This is the kind of movie that Jason thinks is a detriment to society, and the kind of absolute garbage Todd delights in. This of course leads to discussion about impenetrable loneliness and feeling abandoned by society. Whatever, they don't watch sports, so this is all they got.

A Ghost Story is a movie about Casey Affleck standing around in a bedsheet. In other news, Jason got a colonoscopy and Todd saw a movie called Plane. As if that's not enough, there's a complete breakdown of Oscar contenders regardless of how few of them were actually seen by the two self-described idiots who talk a good twenty minutes after the movie is over. This is entertainment! 

Dead for a Dollar is a Walter Hill western that came out in 2022. Seems fitting for the last movie Jason and Todd talk through for the year. In addition to complaining about not enough gun fire, Jason dives deep into his family history, and Todd talks about the (also 2022) movie Troll. This one made Jason real mad and now he has vowed revenge.
