September 10, 2021 Filmmaker Spotlight: James Wan
Hello Listener. We want to play a game... This week we spotlight the work of the Master of Modern Horror, James Wan. From "Saw" his mega-franchise launching debut in 2004 to his franchise launching "The Conjuring" and established franchise high points "Aquaman" and "Furious 7," we discuss and dissect Wan's mastery of cinematic language and how he uses it against his audience to scare the crap out of us. What's the scariest movie you've seen? What other filmmaker do you want to hear us cover? You can let us know your thoughts on this episode by emailing in at [email protected]. Check us out on:

August 27, 2021 Filmmaker Spotlight: Edgar Wright
What's the plan then? Right. We do the intro, mention Spaced briefly, move on to his movies, talk about how Michael Cera sucks - "I'm so sorry, Michael" - then we disagree about Baby Driver, call out Ansel Elgort, hole up, have a cup of tea and wait for this whole thing to blow over. Oh yea, we are spotlighting Edgar Wright. You can let us know your thoughts on this episode by emailing in at [email protected].

August 18, 2021 Time To Say Goodbye
No! We aren't going anywhere so stop asking! This week we dip our toes back into the world of Television. This visit we talk through the treacherous world of TV finales. Some of the most impactful episodes, finales and the final season leading up to them can make or break the legacy of a show. In some cases, you get a cherry on top of a nearly perfect series and a satisfying conclusion to a cast of characters that you have come to know and love. In other cases, you get Game Of Thrones.

August 11, 2021 Filmmaker Spotlight: M. Night Shyamalan
This week's episode tackles our most controversial filmmaker yet, outside of Uwe Boll. M. Night Shyamalan has been writing and directing for well over 20 years. His distinctive style and tendencies give the guys plenty to chew on. From young children seeing dead people, to old children seeing dead people, Shyamalan's unwavering dedication to seeing his artistic vision through (for better or worse) has left him as one of the most debated and talked about directors of the 21st century.

July 21, 2021 And The Oscar Goes To...
Over the last 93 Academy Awards, hundreds of films have been honored with a nomination for the coveted Best Picture category. This week we take a look back at their track record and try to figure out just how reliable the academy is at picking the best winner of the field. From Shakespeare In Love vs Saving Private Ryan to Argo vs any other nominee, we cover the head scratchers that all too often get called to the podium as the winner for their year and make a case for why one or all of their competitors were more deserving. Spoiler Alert, we talk about a lot of movies... You can let us know your thoughts on this episode by emailing in at [email protected].

July 15, 2021 Filmmaker Spotlight: Adam McKay
While he has been known for the majority of his career as the writer and director that could showcase the best of Will Ferrell, in recent years, he has shown that he is capable of so much more. He has gone from the head writer of SNL to directing multiple academy award nominated films. McKay has been able to parlay his comedic instincts into stories and themes that are anything but comedic, and damn near reinvented himself as a force to be reckoned with in the world of dramatic filmmaking.

July 07, 2021 Don't Quote Me On This
This week, we talk about a facet of movie fandom that everyone has undoubtedly experienced at one point or another: the over-used movie quote. Whether it's someone letting you know that the grocery store line that you are in is ACTUALLY ancient Sparta or a friend letting you know that as a result of their Dominos not arriving on time that they are now in a glass case of emotion, movie quotes have been used as a part of every day conversation for a long time. We attempt to better understand, through our hyper-scientific method of rambling, the origins of this phenomenon and how it shows up in the modern day.
