Married to Movies

Yippie-ki-yay, mother and father! It's the Married to Movies finale! Desmond and Megan take on Die Hard and Steel Magnolias, pretty much the definitive representatives of their prospective genres. "Pontificous" is not a word. Desmond is right and Megan and Canada's national broadcasting company are wrong. Wrong! A strange noise interrupts a review, but is it the wind... or something paranormal?! Or is it just a hamster? Megan has a really weird side note about Natalie Portman that has nothing to do with anything. Then she makes one good point. But never mind that nonsense. The two dig in to some lovely and heartfelt feedback, and thank all of their listeners for hanging out with them these past 40 episodes. And bickering. There's always bickering. So thank you. You complete us. And get in da choppa! - Desmond and Megan

This week, your hosts cover 2000's Charlie's Angels and 2010's The Expendables. Does the Bill Murray factor outweigh the Cameron Diaz factor? Is Megan racist? Is she also Demi Moore-ist? What is the environmental cost associated to pyro in huge action movies? The answer: Who gives a shit?!

Fill yer hands with Academy Awards, ya sons o' bitches! Ahem, in the second part of their Oscar-stravaganza your hosts dive into Black Swan and cozy up to True Grit. Which host liked the horror film?

This week the show is late, but there's no shortage of fun. In reviews of two films from 2003, Lost in Translation and The Rundown, one host's breath stinks and the other farts. Which is which? Listen to find out. Also, Desmond really likes Scarlett Johansson and has no problem with her sitting in a window in her underwear.

This week it's a Reese Witherspoon special as Desmond and Megan cover 2000's American Psycho and 1998's Pleasantville. Megan doesn't quite understand what happened. And American Psycho's period setting is so convincing Megan falls for it, even though every actor in the movie is the same age as your hosts. Desmond explains how it's not all about women, and Megan uses the phrase "off herself." Also, there's either a black guy at the end of Pleasantville or a weird shadow [Note: Desmond went back and looked after we recorded the episode and saw neither a black guy nor a weird shadow.] And your hosts literally crush their four year old's Christmas spirit live in this episode. Seriously. Listen to see if you won the contest, and e-mail back before the next episode to claim your prize! Send questions, comments, and requests to: [email protected] and 206.350.0057.
