Old Fogies & Films

Get ready for the New Year! Shelly and guests invite you to our next episode covering her pick to bring another difficult year to a close, coming December 29!

Merry Christmas to some and Happy Holidays to all! The Old Fogies & Films panel are celebrating the season by watching Die Hard, and assessing its level of holiday spirit. Everyone always focuses on the murders and hostage-taking, instead of the beautiful fact that German, American, French, Italian, and Chinese people formed an international alliance to liberate millions of dollars from an all-powerful corporation. What an inspiring message about coming together during the holidays!!

Ho Ho Ho! Fahad invites you to our next episode covering his pick for a Christmas classic, coming December 22!

In the United Kingdom, a book club is called a literary society - cuz they classy. In this episode, the Old Fogies find they can relate to a group of people using culture and camaraderie to survive a painful social upheaval (read: the current pandemic) in The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. We’ve never seen so many book-burners attend a book club. Two. A total of two attend.

Ruth invites you to our next episode covering one of her picks, coming December 15!

Two lies that some people believed in 1993: one, that gay conversion therapy works; and two, that an approximation of a bird's nest was a good hairstyle. Listen to the Fogies discuss The Miseducation of Cameron Post in this episode. In the House of Columbia there are ten thousand pennies ($50 bucks to the first person who gets that reference.)

Tikia invites you to our next episode covering one of her picks, coming December 8!

Does a company that invades people’s bodies to commit acts of sexual assault, violence, and murder, have an HR or ethics department?? The Old Fogies & Films panel forgot to ask ourselves this particular question, but we discuss many other important, existential conundrums in this episode on Brandon Cronenberg’s Possessor ... the office parties must get out of hand.

Aric invites you to our next episode covering one of his picks, coming December 1!

If God had intended us to run, he would have given us chafe-prone nipples. This episode the Fogies experience the full force of a mid-life crisis (or is that RE-experience) from watching Brittany Runs a Marathon. Is it emotional abuse to cheer someone on for an activity that can splinter your shins?
