Red Team Reviews

One thing is for certain: Trevor and TJ sure don't like schadenfreude. We're bringing this year’s Black History Month coverage to an unfortunate close with Eddie Murphy's comedy classic Coming to America, followed by a Reject or Renew of the first season of the HBO series Insecure (and frankly, if we said anything more, it would be a spoiler). Join us for TJ explaining away his mental illness, a deep need to subvert archetypes, questioning if Trevor stumbled into a Jheri curl, and Darth Vader telling you to bang 40 women in 40 nights.

The central premise of this episode is that we're watching rom-coms. Alas, it is the week before that dreaded day of St. Valentine, which means it's time for morbid humor, and men just... just really needing therapy. This week we're going big, weird, and new with the classic When Harry Met Sally, the very-2000s "nice guy" film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and the new kid on the block, 2020's Palm Springs. Join us as we discuss the degradation of friendships, the underutilization of Cristin Milioti, canonically bi Andy Sandberg, and Elijah Wood stealing Drax's schtick 15 years before Infinity War.

We... Elijah, please. Elijah, we know it's you bud. C'mon man. You were just in the Oscar winning finale to the biggest trilogy of the decade.

It's the start of our FOURTH SEASON and it's Black History Month, which means it's time to cue LaKeith Stanfield (if Trevor can remember his name correctly that is)! Today we're zooming out of the typical Black history movies and focusing on the surging genre bending trends of contemporary Black artist: the new Netflix western The Harder They Fall, and the biting economic satire of Sorry to Bother You. After all this Black excellence, you'll never watch a boring white people western or an Adam McKay drama ever again, we swear. Sidebar, this is definitely the episode to show your parents to explain how memes work. Tune in for a jam-packed episode, including OJ references, video game tangents, shit-eating Wayans grins, the shocking lack of a likable union organizer character, and the unfortunate (yet inevitable) shortcomings of the American public school system.

Happy Holidays! Thanks for listening to the podcast. You're our #1 customer! This year Trevor got a hankering for some Turboman, so we decided to dive into the absurd world of Christmas comedies. Somehow we ended up with these three nostalgia picks and watched them going "Oh yeah, that was pretty crazy, huh?" TJ puts his good ole Grinch cap on for his favorite holiday, as we usher in the season where leftist ideology and consumerism somehow go hand in hand. Join us for even more Adam Driver (now with Bobby Canavale), more and more casting scenarios, elf workplace culture, and Arnold Schwarzeneggar trying and failing to act like a human male.

That's right! It's time for a mega media corporation to create copyright holds on classic stories! It's a pre-holiday doozy as Cat Patterson joins us to rank the Disney Renaissance Movies: (almost) everything from The Little Mermaid to Tarzan. Join us for Trevor's continued fascination with Adam Driver, unexpected 80s synth, that 20% of Hunchback that's just unnecessary, and giving due respect to Alan Menken.

Welp, we better grab an antacid, because we're having a hard time digesting all these convoluted story elements. Yes, we are nearly finished with our foray into the early aughts juggernaut that is The Matrix by finishing the original trilogy. To set the scene for you, Trevor had to look up the synopses to understand what the hell they *apparently* were doing all along. Which is a surefire way to succeed in sci-fi. The chaos of this episode is genuinely more entertaining than the entirety of Neo and Trinity's relationship. Join us for an exploration of the differences between the sci-fi and action genres, great ideas executed terribly, Trevor deliberately and exuberantly mispronouncing the Merovingian, and Persephone being as promiscuous as she wants to be. You go, Persephone.

All we’re offering is a choice. You can continue on the path you've been on your entire life… But you’ve been down there. You know where it goes… Or, you take the Red Pill Reviews podcast, and we show you just how deep the reference hole goes. In anticipation of the soft reboot/four-quel coming out this month, we're taking half of December to get all leathery and gun shooty to talk about the Matrix Trilogy, starting with the undisputed OG, The Matrix, and the supplemental animated anthology, The Animatrix. We're talking transgender parallels, the nature of reality, animation styles that make you go "Hmm. Gross." Join us for more meme references than we care to count, fruit roll up discourse, faint memories of museum exhibits, and the necessity of sex fights.

*Whistle* Newbie, we dunno if you've ever -listened- to our podcast, but lemme tell ya we are sohohohohoHO not interested in beating around the bush when it comes to narcissism, okay Nancy? Yes, it's yet another full episode Reject or Renew, where we tackle the bizarre medical growth found deep with the bowels (literally) of the first season of Scrubs. Join us for heaps of gender politics, self aggrandizing inner monologues, legitimately well researched medical conflicts, and the birth of Trevor "Boobs" Catalano. EAGLE!!!
