Our Thanksgiving break was filled with more Katie Holmes (this is good!), an even more obnoxious than usual Robert Downey Jr. (bad!) and Michael Douglas having to babysit Tobey Maguire (the worst!)... but all roads lead to Frances McDormand in WONDER BOYS, so I guess you could say it was all worth it in the end to ignore our families over this holiday weekend. You're welcome, podcast listener(s).

It's Election Day in America... which means that your gracious host takes you away to his favorite fantasy of being in Kevin Kline's stupid seventies shoes as his makes stupid seventies decisions to attend a key party hosted by Allison Janney... and DOESN'T end up having a night of passion with The Jackal.

Such a fool.

Speaking of which, please don't be foolish again, America. Four years of nonsense is too much. Forty minutes of it is just fine for our episode on Ang Lee's THE ICE STORM.

On this episode the two hosts from TRILOGY IN THEORY theorize on how over the course of 25 years THE TERMINATOR franchise can't quite seem to decide on a third part. The one year anniversary (and box-office death, sadly) of the latest entry TERMINATOR: DARK FATE is as good a time as any to take our mind off what could be the dark fate of this country a week from now. Think good thoughts. Mackenzie Davis! She's good!

As one of our hosts is a father who seemingly loves nothing more than to get in touch with his particular form of weepy manhood with a Sam Mendes movie, the other host (the real man) decided to allow a celebration of Father's Day by using DON'T COME BACK FROM THE MOON as our buffer to avoid real life experience or feelings. This Rashida Jones and James Franco starring film looks at parental abandonment with apocalyptic tones that remind one of our hosts (the real man) of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE... and the other one brings up Sam Mendes YET AGAIN. Happy Father's Day.

As we enter the summer season proper there's no better time for your two favorite movie podcasters to promote body shaming by watching Cobie Smulders and Guy Pearce being fit, attractive but more importantly incredibly unfulfilled in RESULTS. Which is all the encouragement we need to stay schlubby like our man Kevin Corrigan. Prepare yourself for a very motivational podcast.

Now that the love of a septuagenarian is out of the way we can get to the magnificent hair and sad sex of Warren Beatty in SHAMPOO. Which is really what this podcast has been building to all along.

Also syndication. Sweet, sweet repeat episodes so your two favorite movie podcasters don't have to speak to each other and can spend time with their family.

Or just googling pictures of peak Warren Beatty. Whatever we need to keep producing the greatest commentary on film the world has ever known. You're welcome.

Sandwiched between the hilarious gentrification in THE LANDLORD and the sad bastard sex romp that was SHAMPOO we got a creepy kid with a substantially much older woman in HAROLD AND MAUDE. As this is the dynamic between one of your hosts who is full of vigor and vitality and the other one is named Chris, we decided to bring on a mediator to balance out the age gap in discussing this classic film. Anderson Cowan of THE FILM VAULT talks excessive enthusiasm for a trip to the movies and a distaste for not giving appropriate attention to darkly comic performance art from one's child. Enjoy!

The people spoke and we listened... you got your fifty year anniversary episode of Hal Ashby's masterpiece THE LANDLORD.

We spoke and Kino Lorber listened... our suffering through a VHS rip of THE LANDLORD caused the powers that be to listen to us and now a blu-ray edition of this great film exists. You're welcome.

At the end of the episode we also admire the boobs as a doorbell poster but only AFTER we direct our male gaze at the star Beau Bridges. Because we are leaders in film discussion.

For twenty-five years both hosts of this widely respected program had managed to avoid Lawrence Kasdan's masterpiece FRENCH KISS. Today this mistake has been corrected with no consideration given by the rights holders as this is strangely a lost film with no current digital distribution. A film that managed to succeed at the box-office and give Meg Ryan a victory over her former costar (the hideous Billy Crystal) for best romcom set in France in May 1995.

And that's something that even Stanley Kubrick couldn't achieve. Think about THAT.

Also we revisit our ethical debate from THE CABLE GUY, defend Weezer's choices and blame Goo Goo Dolls for everything. Twenty-five years of FRENCH KISS!

The love affair between two grown unavailable men continues for two weeks in a row with a date night at the Clam Casino in... MANIAC. And if you thought Elijah "Radio Flyer" Wood was too sexy for you, never fear for we are talking about the 1980 original of this loving look at a lonely man with an impressive mannequin collection and an even more impressive beer gut. After listening to this one, dear listener, the attractive partner in your life will thank you for the mood being appropriate set. As one should expect from any halfway decent podcast.
