Brian and Mick record on Friday and the show hits on Tuesdays. Oh if we had only known how these Oscars were going to go down! Will Smith melts down, Chris Rock is a consummate pro. But you’ll have to wait for next show to get our takes on that craziness.

This episode, Mick and Brian have apparently turned their brains off and can’t remember 90s bands and movies. Our trivia mojo is fading. Sam Elliott, really? Not so subtle homo-eroticism in old westerns, and other Best Picture noms.

Middleburg Film Fest scoops our wish list guests again. Mick wants Bruce Campbell and Brian wants Billy Zane for SkIFF year 10 and we cover a whole lot more including Blade, Morbius, and getting screeners.

It’s so cold outside that Brian will not accept an actual temperature reading! Mick doesn’t trust bus drivers. Disney is everywhere and Brian is terrible at segways.

RIP Meat Loaf and Louie Anderson and Mick breaks Brian’s heart by calling Green Day “classic rock”.

Mick has a perfect troll technique for country music fans and Brian falls right into it.

Brian and Mick are not only podcast co-hosts but we’re now Producing Partners! We take first swings at a new short film we’ve been asked to produce, the budget, real world expectations and it’s a blast.

First and foremost, Mick and Brian have fond memories of John Madden, Betty White and Sidney Poitier. What an end to 2021 and beginning to 2022. Rest in peace you American Treasures.

We move on to discuss how many movies we watch and is there a such a thing as watching too many movies.

Mick suggests that people like movies or have favorites because of some personal affiliation or familiarity to the plot. He’s right!

After that, in true Pulling Focus style we talk about poetry, Brian Thompson, conventions, autographs and just a whole metric ton more.

Merry Christmas! That’s it. You get no more Christmas in this show. We still have fun meandering around some movie talk, the old days of warming up the television and hand turning 30 foot tall antennas in thunderstorms. Then, Brian says “Why Jersey” and Mick goes off about Jersey and the built in attitude. Like movies, it has a lot to do with shared experience.

Christmas movies added to the annual seasonal watchlist? Oh yeah, we recommend Christmas Chronicles, Christmas Chronicles 2, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey, and Klaus, all available on streaming services. Enjoy!

We immediate deviate away from Christmas to discuss Ryan Reynolds and Nathan Fillion and Mick made a very funny Tik Tok, check it out.
