Our deepest apologies for making you wait so long for the return of your favorite podcast, but get ready for a marathon episode worthy of the runtime of Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.  This epic - not just in length - episode kicks off with a discussion about Austin Powers and Verizon, observations about James Bond and Jeff Bezos, as well as rare book and podcast recommendations before your regularly scheduled programming of Movies We’ve Seen since last time (25:05), TV Talk (2:13:04), and Entertainment News/Upcoming Trailers and Stuff (2:29:40).  Then Patrick continues to share his gift by absolutely crushing this latest edition of What Year Did That Come Out Again? (2:56:27), trying his hand at Spielberg alien movie Tomato Talk (2:58:33) and providing a Hidden Gem recommendation (3:03:00) before we allow you to get back to less entertaining real life.  

Episode highlights include discussions about the brilliance of Obsession, the brilliance of Tuner, the brilliance of Pressure, the brilliance of The Invite, how many great movies we’ve already gotten in 2026, how theaters are back(, baby!), the Jackass crew, Minion movie love, our lukewarm responses to recent Spielberg and Nolan, a glowing endorsement of the Girl Scouts of America, dinosaurs onscreen, a shared love of Leo Woodall, Zendaya’s best performance picks, Statham carrying the R-rated action movie torch, being burned out on musician biopics, Hitchcock talk, the lasting excellence of La La Land, the appropriate pacing for crowd pleasing flicks, the fantastic and ever-improving movie scene in LA, continued Trek talk, the unforgivable sin of changing a movie years after its release, and the problem with blockbuster movie pre-sale tickets. 

The Movies N Shit podcast WILL return in Episode 79.

Your favorite podsmiths are back -- young, dumb and full of commentary.  In a perfect world, there would be a perfect movie.  And if that movie existed, it would have surfing, skydiving, surfing and skydiving themed philosophical exposition, bank robberies, the best 90s one-liners you can imagine, and it might just provide a blueprint for the Fast and the Furious franchise.  Well, you're in luck, because that movie exists and we're here to talk at you about it. Trust us, NOTHING comes close to it... not even sex (although we may not be doing it right).  So grab a meatball sandwich or two and strap in for the ultimate movie commentary... and you won't even have to be willing to pay the ultimate price. 

Vaya con Dios, movie fans.
