Replaying Favorites

We remain on summer break! But that's no reason not to lace up your skates and get into The Long Kiss Goodnight with us. (It was real touch and go if Brie was even going to survive this one.)

Original show notes:

Where to even begin? Chris and Brie have their silliest conversation yet about the silliest movie they've watched so far. There's so much ground  to cover that brilliant moments (like Geena Davis snapping a deer's neck with her bare hands) aren't even mentioned. If you want to hear two cohosts wheeze with laughter as they struggle to make it through even  factual descriptions of what is occurring on screen, then look no further.

Somehow, our intrepid hosts manage to talk about something other than Keanu Reeves. (But it takes some effort.)

We're on summer break! Enjoy these dinosaurs. They *do* move in herds.

Original show notes:

It seems futile to even write a description for this one. You know what you're in for: Chris and Brie are going to spend 80% of the time agreeing that this is a spectacular viewing experience and listing all  the reasons why, then exasperate each other for the remaining 20% with a  fundamental disagreement about one of the lead actors. (See if you can guess which one!)

Sometimes, your protagonist is too big because he's an extraterrestrial death machine and your antagonist is too evil because he's hell-bent on the destruction of a sleepy little village in Maine and your story is too dark because it's rooted in Sylvia Plath's suicide (and other tragedies we didn't even get to in the episode) and your budget is too tight because a Gary Oldman / Celine Dion musical flopped at the box office (no, really) and none of it matters because we still cry when the giant says "Superman" at the end.

It's Christmas in July! (There is a non-zero chance we selected this episode just so we could make this joke.) While we're on summer break, re-replay one of our silliest selections. And a warm hello again to the Krige-hive. 

Original show notes: 

Is it three weeks after Christmas? Sure. Is Brie's choice of a movie she's only seen twice a bit of a stretch for the purported rules of this podcast? Maybe. Does Chris maintain a steady scream and drop a hundred F-bombs for some reason? You bet. Nonetheless, join us on another profanity-laden journey through a modern classic that explores the value of a free press, the limits of a monarch's legislative purview, and the feasibility of stealth pursuit on horseback.

Before Olive got her easy A, before Cady met the mean girls, and before Kat hated ten things about you, Cher was clueless. Join our hosts as they revisit the choice fashions, compelling performances, and questionable relationship dynamics of this beloved mutual fave.

Our first summer break re-replay! Delight in questions like: What is a cat? Were more crimes perpetrated upon Dame Judi or Idris Elba? Should cats wear pants? Listen again to your two hosts wheezing through one of the most bananas things ever put on film. Happy summer!

Original episode notes:

This is either the true birth of the podcast or the beginning of the  end. It is both our liveliest discussion and the first shot fired in an escalating arms race of bad and baffling film assignments. If you've  ever wondered what a cat is, then prepare to remain unsure after listening.

A rivalry between two masters that deftly juggles deep discussions of art, religion, morality, and what it truly means to excel. An award-winning classic that remains riveting at almost three hours long. A showcase for once-in-a-generation talents. All ways that you could describe this film, but certainly not this podcast.

Would you marry Lee Pace if he was a bandit who held a princess against her will? What if he blamed all of his problems on an innocent woman? Terrorized a hospital's patients and staff alike? Lied to a small child and put her in mortal peril? Yeah, us too. All this and more in this week's discussion of a movie that you probably didn't watch because it's pretty hard to find.

If you're driving a Hollywood actor to a Hollywood party, is it reasonable to lie about working in Hollywood? If the details of your contract happen to allow you to terrorize your fake boyfriend's barely-of-age girlfriend, should you use that as a bargaining chip? If you wish your colleagues could dance better, is it OK to torment them until they can? And if Brie selects one of the most universally beloved musicals in cinema history, will Chris finally stop fixating on plot logic?
