LoFiTop5

This week JT Just Watched the lauded Damien Chazelle flick Lala Land. Given his love of music and musicals, there is no good reason for why he is just getting to this movie, but here we are. So join in as Jeremy quizzes JT on the movie and the boys discuss what genre this is, what they liked, and what they could have done without.

It's the end of the year episode, which means it's time for the boys to look backward at the work they've done. But why do it alone when you can do it with friends! That's right, in this episode the boys invite loyal listeners to join the show and right some wrongs from the previous year. Listen in and see if you agree with the mistakes made. If not, maybe you should be on the next podcast...

This is the introductory episode of "We Just Watched" from the LoFiTop5!

The first one is going to be a bit different than what they will be going forward, but with the timing of everything and that this movie was mentioned on the Top 5 episode yesterday, the stars were just aligned for this one. 

This week both the boys watched the new Pixar movie "Soul". This podcast has ALL THE SPOILERS. ALL OF THEM. So if you haven't watched it yet, go do that first, then come back. 

Moving forward (with some special exceptions of course) they will go backward in time and watch old movies and watch them with new eyes. Updated eyes. Maybe they get better with time. Maybe they got worse. Who knows. YOU WILL! That's who, because they're gonna tell ya!

So with 2020 in the rearview mirror, the boys take a look back at all the movies they watched this year that were new to them. That doesn't mean it came out in 2020, it just means they saw it in 2020. So, of course, they're gonna do a Top 5 New-To-Me movies of the year! 

In a year when we were all locked inside, you'd think their lists would be deep, but it might not be as deep as you think. They also made a slight rule adjustment (as they do) that means it could be "Renewed to me" if we hadn't seen it in at least 10+ years.

In 1985 Martin Scorcese made one of the weirdest movie trailers of all time. He did so in support of what very well might be one of the oddest yet VERY highly regarded movies of all time. That movie is "After Hours". And this podcast is Gen-X Jeremy explaining as much of that film as he can muster to millenial JT to see if he would watch it. Let's find out...

In a loving tribute to the brilliance that is "P.C.U.", this week the boys do their best to solve the Hackmen/Caine theory. If you remember the film, the theory was that at any moment there is always a Gene Hackman OR Michael Caine movie on TV. So of all those movies, which are the Top 5 of them all! Given the incredible careers of them both, it's not an easy list to make. So tune in and check out which made the LoFi Top 5 this week!

This week Jeremy introduces JT to the 1986 buddy cop comedy "Running Scared". With Billy Crystal and Gregory Hines, this movie is bound to be watchable, but let's let Jeremy make his case...

These days, more than ever, isn't it nice to have a buddy? A pal? A fraaannnndddd? To be one half of a dynamic duo? Well, this week on the 'cast that is exactly what the boys are talking about. They're picking their Top 5 favorite Movie Duos of all time. They have removed the element of romance, as that is a category in itself. So this is just about the camaraderie of the two. So grab your best bud, hunker down and get ready for a pair-ific time....

This week Jeremy explains the 1986 film "Iron Eagle" but with a delightful twist! Let's just say Jeremy plays Karl Malone in this episode. So tune in to decide if YOU would watch Not-So-Top-Gun? Bottom Gun? Middle Gun? Iron Eagle...

This week the boys dive into movies that ACTUALLY deserved a run time of over 2:30 hours. It's not easy to make a movie that long that doesn't suffer from being bloated at some point, so this week they explore the movies that deserved EVERY second (or at least most of the seconds) of their very high runtime. Some surprising movies make the list, some surprises in the ones that don't, but one this is for sure, you're in for a treat.
