Fiction becomes reality as quarantine life becomes our new normal.  The three of us discuss life primarily indoors while (occasionally, sometimes) “touching” upon this prophetic 2011 film.

With the world going up in flames, we turn to a story set in the late 1800’s for respite.  Spoiler alert - life was pretty rough back then, too.  Bonus content in the form of us trying to figure out how to describe an ending that is “good” without horrifying everybody.

“I got to go fast.” -Sonic

We return to our bi-weekly broadcast with a pleasant surprise - a video game-based movie that isn’t a complete, f*cking, dumpster fire (JCVD “Street Fighter”, this ain’t).  Join us as we explore our tickled sense of nostalgia and items from our bucket lists.

“And the Oscar goes to... ‘Parasite’.” -Jane Fonda

Everybody is talking about “1917”, a WWI feature released late last year (and by everyone, we mean about 100 people with laptops and passable WiFi). In light of its recent accolades, we discuss what makes for a truly great movie. Coupled with our information conspiracy theories and a bet on the Oscars, this week’s episode is sure to delight the massive band of fanatics that are our listeners.

“This is me. This is how I win.” -Howard Ratner

Visually claustrophobic and viscerally stressful, “Uncut Gems” is a fucking delight and we loved every second of it.  Missing home, trucking stories, and a Susan interruption - we running this back for 2020!

“I know what I have to do, but I don’t know if I have the strength to do it.” - Ben Solo

In the basement floor of one Brooklyn, NY apartment, Tim and Marro briefly chat about this chuckle-filled yet visceral romp through a deteriorating marriage.  They watched this film together while tears were mutually shed and silently acknowledged the super masculine friends.
