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.

In a new experiment, Chris and Brie test the waters with a film neither of them has seen to decide if it could become a favorite. Several hypotheses are tested, including: How should one best approach weird, bearded Robert Duvall? Are you perhaps interested in further information about the Spanish-American War? Will people enjoy hearing two pandemic podcasters (shudder) crap all over a beloved childhood classic? Predictable results ensue.

What if it was the early 1600s but ALSO the mid 1990s? What if our leads were pop culture icons but ALSO kids in their first high school play? What if the director was a visionary auteur but ALSO kind of a hack? What if Paul Rudd was a decades-long mutual crush but ALSO the reason our two cohosts stop speaking to each other? Many questions are raised and none are answered in this week's trip down memory lane.

A movie that gives Chris the chance to admire several brassy broads and allows Brie to lay out the historical political context informing the narrative? Well, here we go again. Listen to our hosts share their insights on gross old New York, gorgeous young Eriq LaSalle, and the timeless, ageless joy of dogs looking directly to camera.

In what could have been this podcast's final episode, Brie finally shows Chris a film that taught her how to love, how to fight capitalism, and how to memorize a script. Revisit this cherished childhood classic, but keep your criticism constructive or the whole town is getting thrown in jail indefinitely.

This one has a lot of high highs and low lows. Are we talking about the plot, the cast, or our general opinions of the film? Yes. Seriously, count how many times Chris and Brie label something "the best [whatever] in cinema history," then compare it with how many times they say "this movie makes no sense." If you're craving a drinking game: you're welcome.

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!)

This week, our hosts use every ounce of their combined willpower to talk about something other than how hot Stanley Tucci is in this movie. Also explored: why Cam Gigandet needed to be hospitalized, how to avoid trying to pronounce Cam Gigandet for an entire hour, and whether anyone involved in the making of this movie has ever read The Scarlet Letter.

Calling the very premise of this podcast into question, Chris offers up a film that he hasn't seen in 30 years. Listen along as he catches some of the R-rated comedy that went over his head the first few times, Brie discovers a new actor to become obsessed with, and they both recoil from the many derogatory ways women's bodies were discussed in the 1980s.

Our first movie to need a proper spoiler alert! So seriously: SPOILER ALERT. You've been warned. Other than revealing key plot details, Chris and Brie also cover whether the Midwest is inherently bad, which 90s starlet they would have cast in the lead role, and why there should absolutely never be a sequel to the novel or film. (There's also an unbelievable anecdote about a cap that got left on the cutting room floor, but go ahead and read the IMDb trivia page for that little nugget.)
