Make Mine a Double Feature

Tis the season for Hallmark Holiday Movies. Robert watched an old ABC Family favorite, so he's telling Ellen about a frazzled Melissa Joan Hart, the dimpled Mario Lopez, and some fuzzy restraints. Ellen watched a Hallmark movie, so she's telling Robert about a woman who fell for a man in a small town. Give yourself the gift of screwdriver and enjoy some cable movie cheer.

It's that time. Christmas time is here. That means it's time to rewatch holiday favorites. It doesn't get any more favoriter for Robert than Die Hard, so he tells Ellen all about John McClane and the big building of badguys. But first, Ellen tells Robert the story of a little defective reindeer who makes friends with broken stuff. Pour yourself a little wassle, whatever that is, and enjoy our Christmas movie memories.

We're giving thanks for movies, drinks, and family this time on Make Mine a Double Feature. Ellen tells Robert about Steve Martin and John Candy road-tripping to Chicago in fiery cars, and Robert tells Ellen about Adam Sandler and Adam Sandler being brother and sister twins. Pour some spiked turkey gravy and enjoy!

We turn the channel to Aurora's favorite public access show as Robert tells Ellen about the most successful SNL film, Wayne's World, and Ellen tells Robert about its sequel. Pour some wine and enjoy. You're worthy.

We're seeing stories from the point of view of secondary characters this week. Robert tells Ellen the harrowing tale -- wink wink -- of a boy named Thomas J, and Ellen tells Robert about this poor guy named Goose who has a garbage friend. Pour some lime in your wine and enjoy!

We're talking Hallmark movies that feature good-looking men. Ellen tells Robert about an uptight writer who loosens up when she meets a guy who likes music, and Robert tells Ellen about a lady contractor who finds a body and uses her hammer and nails know-how to figure out who done it. Pour a drink and relax with tonight's double feature.

In our untrue crime style, Robert reports on the case of Fin Shepard and a shark-filled storm, and Ellen discusses the case of a large arachnid attacking Los Angeles. Pour a screwdriver or some box wine. It's time for a double feature.

We searched Amazon Prime Video for prime numbers and watched the first movie (kind of). Turns out, when you do that you get exclusively movies about boats, scuba diving, inheritances, and marriages on boats after scuba diving for inheritances. So that's what we're talking about this time. Tilt your box to get the last of your wine and enjoy. Then reach out to us at [email protected].

We're reading reviews (pretend ones) about a couple of robot movies, and we're doing that while drinking wine. Make yours a double...wine and enjoy.

We're taking turns telling each other about all the shenanigans Bruce Willis gets up to when he has hair. Ellen tells Robert about a child who shows up in a man's house to learn how to fight or something. Robert tells Ellen about a dirtbag detective who buddy cops it up with a former quarterback in order to stop a briefcase from being a different...brief...case. Or something. It's time travel, puppets, prop planes, and helicopters this time on Make Mine a Double Feature. Pour wine from a box or a bottle and enjoy.

Make Mine a Double Feature is a Synopsish show. Here’s the thing I say about that: Hi, I’m Rob. With my friends and family, I celebrate pop culture, creativity, and possibility in podcasts and blog posts at synopsish.com. We have things about movies, sports, TV, trivia, music, and so on. Hope you’ll take a look. 

Thanks for listening. Take care.
