Reboot Already Underway

Like a dog returns to its vomit, Jacob rewatches The Shaggy Dog, and unleashes its hairy plot on an unprepared Aaron.

Relaunching their journey through cinema, Aaron and Jacob land on Moon, and both are in orbit over Duncan Jones' space oddity.

Chasing AmbuLAnce, Jacob and Aaron break out The Rock. Both get worked up by the mix of Cage-Rage and Bay-hem, and that excitement squirts out in some strange ways.

This week, Aaron asks Jacob to ponder Why Don't You Play in Hell? Both find the absurd yakuza flick to be a cut above other odes to movie magic, easily besting the anarchic Academy Awards this year.

With the CODA to award season (Bel)fast approaching, Jacob and Aaron review all the nominees for Best Picture this year. Most are up their (Nightmare) Alley, and the late-night recording session sees them Dune their best to explain why. Featuring special guest Mark Rylance (Don't Look Up if that's real.)

Jacob and Aaron finally make room for another podcast, one about the making of The Room. It begs the question, who is The Disaster Artist? Director and special guest star Tommy Wiseau, or the podcasters spending half their time pitching an SNL battle royale.

This week, Jacob entices Aaron with The Lure. Both agree that 'Polish mermaid horror musical' is a great hook, even when the translation feels a bit fishy.

For the third week of Spooky Season, the duo document their close encounter with Phoenix Forgotten. The found footage film is all alien to Aaron, but Jacob recalls exactly why it didn't light up his world.

This latest podcast is for The Birds, with the duo winging things more than usual. Both flock to the iconic thriller, but Aaron ruffles Jacob's feathers by still calling it Hitchcock's dumbest work.

At the dawn of Spooky Season, Jacob and Aaron venture into Dark Shadows. With little to excavate from the sucky soap opera adaptation, their analysis lives under the shadow of Alice Cooper and Kingdom Hearts.
