Lizards and apes and gremlins, oh my! Welcome to our Top 5 Monster Movies episode, where we utterly redefine monsters to include “cute fuzzy CGI things who go through doors”, “weird CGI things with eyes in their hands”, and, of course, BrundleFly. Our lists also include a musical, a monster who lives in a flower pot and sings, a camouflage monster from outer space, and … the wind. Listen and play along to try to guess which monster has excellent “hand-eye coordination”!

Their ever-evolving format includes "the Shawshank" (the undebatable category definer), a guess-that-movie-by-a-five-word-description game, and a few rounds of "contender pong" for all the entries that didn't make the Top Five final list.

Over the course of recording episodes, both JT and Jeremy noticed a recurring pattern of movies with far too low Metacritic scores - it particularly caught our eye when discussing Wall Street, with a mere 56 on the ol’ MC. Now it’s no perfect movie or anything, but if the Jaden Smith Karate Kid remake gets a 61, and Oliver Stone’s own take on JFK has a 72, well, #justsayin. And if Superbad has a 76, how does Ferris Bueller’s Day Off only get a 61? And we’d agree that the witty Midnight Run deserves its 78 score, but shouldn’t a classic like Beverly Hills Cop be sitting in the mid-80s? Enjoy our take on the absolutely criminally underrated movies of our times.

This week the Kids don’t go Solo when discussing the Top 5 Movies With a Single Word in their Title. One Memento from the episode is almost getting Whiplash from the back-and-forths, almost like playing a game of Dodgeball. Babe, we gotta tell you these Goodfellas almost had to take an Airplane! to Casablanca (with a stop at a Casino) to get through all the movies they wanted to chat about. But they were inspired by great leaders, from Gandhi to Patton to Lincoln, the kind of faces we’d see at mount Rushmore. So unless you’re an Alien or suffering the summer Heat in Chinatown, check out this episode (maybe listen with your friend Harvey, or maybe Willow the Elf?) before we record again next Friday.

This week’s episode is full of all sorts of fun surprises, with Jeremy Scott from CinemaSins joining the guys to bring his unique perspective on movies we all wish we’d seen in theaters. We have our “didn’t see it because I’m an idiot” entries (Endgame???), “way too young for it” (Blade Runner), “wasn’t even alive for it” (Lawrence of Arabia), “just sorta missed it” (Bad Times at the El Royale) and even a “one of us was too busy partying in the dot-com era to see the Matrix!?!?” To be fair, we might be more embarrassed by some of the missed flicks on this list than we were for the Guy Crys ep! We’ve also added a new bit, hitting up our Twitter fans for some of their picks (@TheCinemaTicket’s choice of The Wild Bunch def a great one). Give a listen, and, please, no judgment - we’re saving Everything Wrong With the LoFiTop5 for another time. Also, please check out pre-ordering Jeremy’s (S) upcoming book on Amazon “Original Sin: From Preacher’s Kid to the Creation of CinemaSins (and 3.5 billion+ views)” and if you aren’t already a CinemaSins subscriber on YouTube, well, that’s an easy one to fix.

While everyone (who records this podcast) enjoys a good cameo, sometimes we like it, even more, when our fave non-actor gets a legit role in a movie - and doesn’t wreck the movie in the process (don’t worry, we won’t blame Mr. Ice for his appearance in TMNT2: The Secret of the Ooze). This week’s episode has your hosts debating the top 5 appearances of a non-actor in a non-cameo role in a movie. We have an interesting assortment of musicians (Madonna or Lady Gaga? Bowie or Eminem?) and athletes (MJ or Kareem?) and wrestlers and ballet dancers, not one but TWO game show hosts, and even … a senator!?!?

It’s pretty safe to say that any movie podcasters like ourselves would love an evening with a Steven Spielberg or a Martin Scorcese (aka Eyebrows), but what about the rest of Hollywood directors? This week the guys pick the five movies whose directors they’d want to have a beer with, whether via time machine or in today’s world. Some of the picks include the most-watched movie of all time, some pretty mediocre attempts at comic book movies, a few of our favorite indie directors, and one of those “everybody thinks it's Quentin Tarantino, but, no, it isn’t”. And of course, Christopher Nolan.

Today we’re breaking away from other topics to go back to school and suss out the Top 5 College movies. We have a fun chat exploring differing perspectives from Jeremy (repping Gen X) and JT (millennial), whose ages impact this category in so many ways. The guys have a whiplash back & forth comparison of two “classic” college films, Animal House and PCU, but you don’t need to be a real genius to listen. So whether you are just the waterboy for the school team, a musician with perfect pitch, or just the freshman who protects endangered species, we hope this episode will really feel old school for everyone.

On a scale of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest to 10 Things I Hate About You, this episode goes to 12 Monkeys (because there are so few movies with the number 11). That’s right everyone, this week’s theme is the Top 5 Movies with a number in their title - not including sequel numbers. The good news, there’s absolutely no math required to listen, nor will you need a sixth sense to see what these three amigos (ok, just two of us), talked about all the way into our 25th hour.

Grab a tissue everyone, because on this week’s episode the boys let all the emotions fly as they stammer their way through their lists. And this is all the stuff that makes guys cry - dogs, sons, dads, dogs, daughters, sports, death, dogs, sports, and… Robin Williams movies (don’t agree? It’s not. your. fault!). As a mysterious voice once said: If we record it, they will listen.

While Hobbs & Shaw is the spinoff we clearly deserved, JT and Jeremy aren’t so sure it’s the one we needed. This episode has the gents going through their pantheons of favorite movies, selecting the characters they just need to see moar of. With a particular, but not manic, focus on henchmen/buddies, selections include (only) a few superhero movies, the greatest swordsman that ever lived, a lamp-loving sidekick, and the manager of an elite underground hotel. As a final hint, some of the actors/actresses include Robert Duvall, Donald Glover, Tessa Thompson, Kevin Smith, and one of both of our fave’s John Leguizamo.
