Shane, Jon, Bryan, and Drew spend a long time discussing the perceived faults of Bohemian Rhapsody before they move into the delirious genius of Raw and split evenly over High Flying Bird.  In regard to Bohemian Rhapsody, we find room to wonder if Coco the gorilla could've improved the film if she gave the script a once-over.  bohemian_raw_bird.mp3File Size: 125263 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

Jon and Shane discuss our latest trio movies, which include Take Shelter, Solo, and The Beach.  Shane's coming in hot on this one, and we also learn which kitchen tool Jon fears/respects the most. solo_shelter_a_beach_story.mp3File Size: 89633 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

Shane's been laid up, and used his convalescence to watch a whole bunch of Marvel movies.  This provides the MMC an opportunity to get together and discuss some highs and lows from a decade of films.  We also pitch some tasteful nude paintings for the cast, perhaps as a series-ending gift.  Riley's painting as we speak. shane_watched_some_superhero_movies.mp3File Size: 85460 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

Shane and Jon discuss Ralph Breaks the Internet, Logan, and Roma for our latest trio of movies, with some extra talk thrown in about the Oscar nominations.  We also discuss the worst possible moments in Roma for a four year old to burst into the room and see what's on screen. logan_breaks_the_roma-net.mp3File Size: 79041 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

Jon, Blair, Bryan, and Chelsea H get personal as they talk about two of the best movies from 2018, Eighth Grade and Tully.  We plumb the depths of our own experiences as middle schoolers and two of us relate how Tully synced up with their own time in the maternity ward.  Bryan also takes a hard pass on standing up for his gender. eighth_grade_and_tully.mp3File Size: 114136 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

Jon, Shane, JR, and Drew sit down to discuss several of our favorite movies from 2018.  While we push back a bit on Shane's pick of Isle of Dogs, we have nothing but praise for the sushi prep scene, which took 32 days to film, not eight.  Sorry, Isle of Dogs animators. best_movies_of_2018.mp3File Size: 83463 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

Jon, Shane, and Bryan return to First Reformed, and also talk about The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.  Buster Scruggs takes them back to elementary school and needlessly blowing away buffalo in Oregon Trail, and we coin the new 'sacramental ranch' craze currently sweeping the Midwest. fantastic_scruggs_and_where_to_reform_them.mp3File Size: 115919 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

First Reformed proved too big to just devote 20-30 minutes to in our monthly movie trio podcast, so we reconvened the Mediocre Methodist Cast, bringing in ministers Lane and Blair to pore over the film's religious aspects and consider how it relates to the modern practice of Christianity.  Hardcore atheist Jon is there to be a jerk, like all atheists. mediocre_methodist_cast_-_first_reformed.mp3File Size: 102442 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

Shane and Jon discuss the season 4 episodes The Lion and the Rose and The Laws of Gods and Men, and find time to also plan Joffrey’s bachelor party.  We get really close to booking Charles Dance as a guest on the podcast but then Shane calls him Chaz and ruins everything. got_greatest_hits_vol_6.mp3File Size: 66522 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]

We're back after a month hiatus to discuss our latest trio of movies; The Kindergarten Teacher, Hold the Dark, and Buster's Mal Heart.  Shane, Jon, and Riley discuss these three, as well as famous teens like Danny Alamonte and the kid who played Neckbone in Mud, plus we ask the timeless question: Do bears know they can eat people? busters_dark_teacher.mp3File Size: 104613 kbFile Type: mp3Download File [...]
