Love It or Hate It, You Gotta Love It

We go deep undercover on this episode of LIOHIYGLI and discover the true identities behind ARGO (2012), which Enoch thinks Quinton will love, and SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET (2007), which Quinton thinks Enoch will hate. Who are all these American guys in Iran? Who is Sweeney Todd really? Is there a love or a hate to be had this episode? All will be revealed TODAY (on the episode)!

Emilie Osborne comes on to the show as our first two-time splitter of the room, bringing with her relationship-comedy FLIRTING WITH DISASTER (1996) from noted C-word sayer David O. Russell. Will Enoch love it? Will Quinton hate it?

Weed-tokers only on today's episode of LIOHIYGLI as we celebrate 4/20 just a little bit early this year. We discuss the films THE FLORIDA PROJECT (2017) which is not really about weed, but contains weed, and of course HALF BAKED (1998), the quintessential stoner's stoner flick. Will Enoch love the former? Will Quinton hate the latter? Toke up, get zooted and listen to this week's episode!

SERENA & JOHN BOSCO come onto LIOHIYGLI to discuss the film that started it all. By "film," we mean FIRST BLOOD (1982) and by "it all", we mean the Rambo franchise. Watch how the mistreatment of Rambo sends him over the edge in an uncontrollable frenzy of tactical genius. Will the action movie stylings of the classic 80's picture inspire a "love" point from Enoch? Will the same cause Quinton to stick up his nose for a "hate point? This week's episode will tell all that & more.

Today on the podcast, it's time to investigate some hot button movies that are nominated for this year's Academy Awards ("Oscars" for the layman). First, we'll be inspecting THE MOLE AGENT (2020), a documentary about an undercover elder sleuthing it up in a Chilean nursing home -- which Enoch thinks Quinton will love. Then we'll be talking Fincher's MANK (2020), a movie about movies, and specifically the writing of one Citizen Kane -- which Quinton thinks Enoch will hate. Will Enoch find enough evidence in The Mole Agent that Quinton will love it? Will Mank at his Mankiest (peak Mank) secure the "hate" point for Quinton? All this and brief, unrelated tangents on this week's episode.

Local musician & friend-o-the-pod Al Riggs comes on to attempt to split the room with Tim Burton's BATMAN RETURNS (1992). Will Quinton love it? Will Enoch hate it? Some of the choices made in making this movie were, dare I say, batshit? ... Certainly much to love and to hate. So, let's see how it all shakes out, shall we?

Per Austin, FBI is the movie prompt this week, and we're doing a lot of digging to uncover the conspiracies (or verdicts) about a couple of movies: Quinton thinks Enoch will love the brand spankin' new film depicting the events leading up to the death of Fred Hampton, JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH (2021). Enoch thinks Quinton will hate the Mark Wahlberg political thriller vehicle, SHOOTER (2007).

The perfectly-titled film for this week's split-the-room guest episode is none other than Robert Altman's 1972 film IMAGES, and who else would be bringing it than Quinton's friend, roommate, and fellow film fanatic AUSTIN EDWARDS. Will Quinton love it? Will Enoch hate it? Will this be the guest episode where the room will finally be split???

The prompt this week is kids movie -- one for kids: NAUSICAA OF THE VALLEY OF THE WIND (1984) which Enoch thought Quinton would love, and one about a kid, namely Kevin in WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN (2011), which Quinton thought Enoch would hate. Will Studio Ghibli magic give Enoch his third love 2-pointer? Will the macabre, Jokerfied, titular Kevin give Quinton the hate point? Only one way to find out!

THOMAS MCNEELY, our tunesmith that wrote our awesome first theme is back with a new theme AND to split the room with his pick, THE FOOT FIST WAY (2006), the comedy post-All the Real Girls Danny McBridge star vehicle — which he thinks Enoch will love and Quinton will hate.
