February 03, 2022 The Power of the Dog
Spoilers abound as we discuss Jane Campion's masterful Western/Hitchcockian thriller The Power of the Dog. It's the rare movie that turns out at the end to be a completely different movie — and even in a completely different genre — than we thought at the beginning.

We explore questions like:

—who or what "the dog" of the title is

—performative masculinity

—whether there's a bad guy

—Peter's sexuality

—whether Rose was ever good at piano

We hope you enjoy listening this conversation as much as we enjoyed having it.

December 31, 2021 Don't Look Up
Don't Look Up is a divisive movie, and your hosts are appropriately divided. Keith found parts of it funny but overall found it all too unbelievable, while Aaron and Tim embrace the absurd — or is it? — metaphor at the center of the film.

December 23, 2021 8-Bit Christmas Review (The Low Key Holiday Spectacular)
8-Bit Christmas features Neil Patrick Harris as a modern-day dad telling his daughter the very '80s story of his quest for a Nintendo. It's packed with knowing '80s references like the Cabbage Patch Kid crisis and deep cuts like the infamous Billy Ripken "f--- face" card, and owes obvious debts to the '80s classics A Christmas Story and The Princess Bride.

Tim, a child of the '80s, and Keith and Aaron, children of the '90s, have different levels of enthusiasm for the HBO Max film: Keith finally asks Tim: Are you maybe a little too close to this material?

But this is a fun conversation that veers merrily into why dads don't build treehouses anymore, the best dumb Christmas movies, and, of course, true meaning of the holidays. Merry Christmas, f--- face.
