Oops, All Movies!

"It's Not A Car" - Special guest writer/comedian Daniel Kibblesmith joins us from Chicago to discuss The Dark Knight Rises. In our review, we praise Anne Hathaway for proving the doubters wrong, try to determine what Bane’s voice sounds like, disagree on whether or not Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s performance works, and much more. Plus, Daniel shares his experience as an extra on the set of The Dark Knight.

"In Nolan We Trust" - Before rising up with the Dark Knight, we take time to revisit his exploits in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. In our review, we question if they’re more dissimilar from one another than Alien and Aliens, admire the performances, and Joe explains why Two-Face and the departure of Katie Holmes hold The Dark Knight back from perfection. Even so, is Spider-Man 2’s 43-episode run as the show’s highest-rated movie about to come to an end?

"Nutty Royale" - Our trek through the Alien universe that began with Prometheus and continued with Alien concludes with a review of James Cameron’s Aliens. In our review, we question if Aliens is truly an action film, have mixed feelings about the portrayal of the xenomorphs, and agree that Bill Paxton’s performance stands alongside Jeffrey Wright’s in Source Code as the worst in the show’s history. Also: We address listener feedback on Prometheus and on the show itself.

"It's The Same Movie" - In our review of The Amazing Spider-Man, we disagree on whether or not Andrew Garfield’s performance was a disaster, gush about the visual effects, praise Rhys Ifans for his role as the villain, and criticize the superficial differences between this movie and Sam Raimi’s movie.

"Craig Ferguson" - One of us loved Brave from the very beginning; another wanted to walk out after 20 minutes. Does Brave fail at balancing its comedic elements with its mother-daughter story? Or does it stand among Pixar’s best movies? We debate that and more, including if the movie’s title makes any sense.

"Milky" - The Nostromo has landed. In our review of Alien, we praise the nuanced performances of Ian Holm, and others, chat about the film’s distinctive look, and never miss an opportunity to bring up Prometheus.

"Cock Tease" - The Prometheus has landed. We step aboard and talk about its connection to Alien, debate whether or not Michael Fassbender’s character, David, was evil, contend that Johnny Knoxville looks more credible as an old man in Jackass than Guy Pearce does in this, and much more, in a contentious episode that features the biggest gap ever between two of our scores.

"Mirror Mirror" - In our review of Snow White and the Huntsman, we argue about where Chris Hemsworth ranks among the good actors in Hollywood, disagree on whether or not Charlize Theron’s performance was too over-the-top, and come to the realization that all the scenes of walking might be the reason why the Lord of the Rings films were so good… and this one isn’t.

"Big Willie Style" - This week we are joined by Ryan Pickard of the Welp, That Sucked podcast to talk about a sequel that has been ten years in the making... Men In Black 3! Since these movies are known as action comedies, we were pleasantly surprised by the more dramatic moments in this installment. However, we were terribly confused by all of the outdated jokes in this movie, and wonder if some of it was actually intentional. We compare Will Smith to Wayne Brady, and praise Josh Brolin for being a better Tommy Lee Jones than Tommy Lee Jones.

"Miss" - All hands are at battle stations in this episode as we take aim at Peter Berg’s new movie, Battleship. In our review, we try to understand how you can turn a board game into a movie, get a little worried about Taylor Kitsch’s career, try to understand how you can turn a board game into a movie, allege that Rihanna was doing an impression of Michelle Rodriguez the whole movie, but mostly try to understand how you can turn a board game into a movie in our strangest episode to date.
