Rum and Cinema

We just watched Bring Her Back and we are not okay. It’s disturbing, wild, and somehow still fun? We break it all down and then play a movie title mashup game that gets real dumb real fast.

This episode is part movie review, part chaos. We talk about Nick Kroll’s new dark comedy I Don’t Understand You and then compete to build the greatest lineup of Oscar winners.

A full breakdown of The Surfer and a heated debate on whether it’s good or garbage. Plus: the ultimate 2012 movie draft and our recs for your next watch.

We talk Anderson’s latest like friends in the theater parking lot, plus a chaotic game of “Character or Coachella Lineup?” and fresh recs for your watchlist.

We review HBO’s Mountainhead (meh), play some unhinged Price Is Right-style games, and recommend some stuff that’s actually worth watching. Satire? Succession? Confusion? It’s all here — plus jokes.

This week we cover A24’s Friendship (yes, the one with Paul Rudd and Tim Robinson), rate it on our skip-it-to-buy-it scale, and test our real-life friendship in a game. One of us walks away offended. Also: next week’s rec is 🔥.

We admire the craft, but does Mad God actually work as a movie? We break it down, then draft our favorite movies from 2017 and drop some solid watch recommendations.

We had no idea this movie would spark such a long discussion about game show rules, weird contestants, and why Paul Walter Hauser just gets it.

In this episode we talk about the new Bong Joon-Ho movie Mickey 17 starring Robert Pattinson. Which Mickey did we like the most, do we even like this movie, what about the ending?

We also play a game where we try to name every prequel, sequel, and remake of classic movie franchises.

And as always, we leave you with what to watch next.

Plot breakdown? Check. Absurd comedy? Yep. Mind-blowing cardboard sets? 100%. This episode is all about Dave Made a Maze, and why movie lovers need to stop sleeping on it. Hit subscribe and join the conversation.
