In possibly the longest and most epic Movies N Sh*t episode ever produced, your treasured podsmiths bond over Bond and other tidbits before your regularly scheduled programming of Movies We’ve Seen since last time (19:23), TV Talk (1:36:33), and Entertainment News/Upcoming Trailers and Stuff (1:53:52).  Then it’s time for brand new installments of “Not Like This, Christopher Nolan” (2:28:45), What Year of What Year Did That Come Out Again? (2:39:31) and Tomato Talk (2:41:52) before your Hidden Gem recommendation is provided (2:43:50) and we say bye til next time.  Episode highlights include a discussion about The Wizard of Oz, the Las Vegas Sphere, ever-looming AI, our lord and savior Robert Zemeckis, the Alabama Hills of California, missing the physical media era, Ryan Coogler’s mastery of multiple genres, the legacy of Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt, the strength of a good ensemble cast, containing multitudes, how Nathan Fielder is the greatest living artist, the legacy of Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, Patrick’s go-to Jersey Mike’s order, the best directors all delivering upcoming summer releases all at the same time, the most bizarre ending to any zombie movie ever, and more fun listener feedback from longtime friend of the podcast, Kevin and longtime friend of Kelly, Jason.  Shout-out to these two and all of our many fans.  

*Please note that Patrick only misses one movie year on today’s quiz and he’s only off by a single year.  Safe to say, he truly is a savant.* 

Hello, boys (and girls)! We're ba-aaaaaaaack!!

It's time to kick the tires and light the fires, big daddies (and mommies)!  If you're excited for the 4th of July, you want to feel great about America and humanity in general, or you just want to see mid-90s Will Smith whip E.T.'s ass, then this is the commentary for you, that's all.  So strap in for the greatest, most patriotic alien invasion movie of all time, with the greatest on-screen presidential speech of all time, just in time for Independence Day.  As you can imagine, they don't let us out much... so we've made the most of our time inside by re-visiting the hottest flick of 1996.  Press play and we can guarantee your next 2+ hours will be really exciting.  And yes, that's exactly the word we'd choose to describe it.

Happy listening!  Happy Independence Day!  And remember -- All you need is love.  John Lennon.  Smart man.  Shot in the back, very sad.  

Peace!

Today's pod begins with a heartfelt tribute to Val Kilmer... so heartfelt that the fellas convince themselves that Batman Forever and Red Planet are good movies!  (Come at us, bros!)  We discuss a few other tidbits before your regularly scheduled programming of Movies We’ve Seen since last time (29:35), TV Talk (1:11:46), and Entertainment News/Upcoming Trailers and Stuff (1:18:57).  Then it’s time for the first installment of “Not Like This, Christopher Nolan” (1:39:35) since episode 66, along with brand new installments of What Year Did That Come Out Again? (1:45:27), Tomato Talk (1:50:35) and the latest installment of Action Movie Trivia Game (1:55:27)!  Finally, your special Val Kilmer Hidden Gem recommendation is provided by Patrick at 1:57:53.  Episode highlights include a discussion about IKEA meatballs, film formats, how we feel about the things we haven't seen compared to the things you haven't seen, a gut-wrenching deleted scene from Mrs. Doubtfire, a fun fact about lighters in the movies and real life of the 1930s, as well as the featured sounds of Kelly killing bugs and stoking fires. 

Big shout-out to Executive VP, Worldwide Production for Lionsgate Television, and Goldsboro, NC native, Joel Meyer on your recent promotion.  Well deserved!  

Ya know, someone once told us that time was a predator that stalked us all our lives.  Whether you side with Dr. (not Dark Lord) Soren or rather believe that time is a companion who goes with us on the journey and reminds us to cherish every moment because it will never come again, we rather believe that it is high time for our first Movies N Sh*t TV episode commentary.  

And what better television episode to begin with than Trek fan favorite, Yesterday's Enterprise.  So get comfy and listen as your favorite podsmiths watch arguably the best of hundreds, maybe thousands, of Star Trek time travel stories. And the only one to feature Shooter McGavin.  As a special bonus, you'll be transported back in time to receive a little history of both Kelly's and Patrick's introductions to the franchise.   We promise you'll have a wonderful time (see what we did) joining us as we journey to where no man, or at least Kelly and Patrick, have gone before.

The sexiest of all episodes begins with a quick discussion about numbers, a reminder that all of you out there listening have the power to give this podcast a rating, Werner Herzog’s definition of truth, and a little Oscar talk before your regularly scheduled programming of Movies We’ve Seen since last time (17:29), TV Talk (48:11), and Entertainment News/Upcoming Trailers and Stuff (1:04:19).  Then it’s time for brand new installments of What Year Did That Come Out Again? (1:21:40) and Tomato Talk (1:28:12) before a special Bonus Action Movie Trivia Game (1:32:56)!  Finally, your Hidden Gem recommendation is provided at 1:43:40.  Episode highlights include a discussion about the poetry of On the Waterfront, original cinematic approaches that we’ve never seen before,  Patrick’s preference for dogs over cats, how the production of a film can inform the way we view and judge the film itself, Patrick’s aversion to body horror, the problem with having a job, the enduring legacy of SNL, the unseating of Ernst Stavro Blofeld by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos as James Bond’s greatest nemesis, and The Fast and the Furious franchise’s unhinged titling insanity. 

That’s all from us for now… we’re gonna go smoke a cigarette. 

Episode 68 begins with a little secret, a little Lynch talk, a little fire talk, a little seat talk, and a little move-based musical talk before your regularly scheduled programming of Movies We’ve Seen since last time (at sort of 18:54, but really 20:02), TV Talk (1:21:03), and Entertainment News/Upcoming Trailers and Stuff (1:35:04).  Then it’s time for another installment of What Year Did That Come Out Again? at 1:45:42 and a special David Lynch edition of Tomato Talk at 1:50:56.  Finally, at 1:54:12, podsmith Patrick provides a Hidden Gem recommendation for your viewing pleasure.  Episode highlights include our adoration for Vidiots, a discussion about what makes acting impressive, age inappropriate historical epics, unlikely Christmas movies, covers superior to original songs, what James Mangold does well, asexual male comradery, Kelly's updated Star Wars sequel trilogy rankings and Patrick's impassioned response, AppleTV's unsettling visual aesthetic and the unsettling visual aesthetic of Brett Goldstein's unshaven face (we love his bearded look, for the record), when it's okay to tinker with a finished film, the superiority of the original Alien movie, excitement about the latest take on Superman, and a final word from the incomparable David Lynch.  
Golden sunshine and blue skies all the way!   

Episode 67 begins with some Nic Cage holiday goodness, unconfirmed James Bond murder trivia, and a little Trek talk before your regularly scheduled programming of Movies We’ve Seen since last time (22:49), TV Talk (1:05:49), and Entertainment News/Upcoming Trailers and Stuff (1:25:42).  Then it’s time for the first ever combination installment of What Year Did That Come Out Again? AND Tomato Talk at 1:37:31 and - SPOILER ALERT - Patrick absolutely crushes it!  Finally, at 1:43:40, both of the podsmiths provide a Hidden Gem recommendation for your holiday viewing pleasure.  Episode highlights include motion capture talk, helpful listener feedback, the magnificence of Wicked, the troubled convenience of Gladiiator, the brilliance of John Williams, the latest Star Wars show, our favorite Mission: Impossible movies, a shout-out to your next Oscar host - Conan O’Brien, and of course, holiday movie talk.  All this in less than 2 hours!  Enjoy, ya filthy animals.

We begin executing episode 66 with a heartfelt Movies N Sh*t tribute to the ultimate cinematic daddy and legend of legends, James Earl Jones.  Then it’s on to a little movie theater talk, followed by a discussion about movie trailer dialogue delivery vs. actual movie dialogue delivery before your regularly scheduled programming of Movies We’ve Seen since last time (21:36), TV Talk (1:39:57), and Entertainment News/Upcoming Trailers and Stuff (2:00:00).  Then it’s time for a double dose of “Not Like This, Christopher Nolan” along with some enlightening listener feedback at 2:16:15 before Patrick’s shameful showing of What Year Did That Come Out Again? at 2:25:28 but impressive performance during Tomato Talk at 2:28:10 to redeem himself before both of the podsmiths provide a Hidden Gem recommendation for your viewing pleasure.  Episode highlights include Kelly and Patrick arguing about transformers, agreeing about the joy of showing someone a movie they end up liking, discussions about the real-time storytelling format, movie hitmen, a lack of sincerity in today's hip, self-aware flicks, a general lack of respect amongst movie theater audiences today and whether or not we even deserve nice things, and of course, a love song for Bobby Long. 

Special shout-out to all our North Carolina friends and listeners recovering from the storm.  Thinking about you all and hoping you are back with the power to watch all the movies you can get your hands on very soon.
