So Do We Still Like This?

It's 2023! It literally became 2023 just a few hours ago! And we are kicking off the year the same way we do every year - with a theme month! This time it's JanuAgony, a month of watching bad movies we have zero nostalgia for because why start following the rules now? Rob and I start on a high (crushing low?) note with 2009's After Last Season a drama, mystery thriller that mostly involves two people sitting in a warehouse with paper everywhere trying to make it look like an office.

We made it! 2022 is done! Well, almost I guess. Podcast wise we made it! Oh and Merry Christmas because this one goes live Christmas Day! Have a great holiday and enjoy Wads, Rob and I talking about A Christmas Story!

The Love Actually crew (myself, Kim and Sam Also) are back for another dose of holiday romance! It's 2006's The Holiday! We also perform our first dramatic reading and spend a weird amount of time talking about MILFs banging muppets. CHRISTMAS!

Is love actually all around us? Is nine stories way too many stories for even a 135 minute long movie? How are them Christmas vibes? Is the Keira Knightley story as creepy as you remember? Join Kim, Sam Also and I as we talk Love Actually!

"Wait...but isn't Violent Night a brand new movie and you're a podcast based around nostal...." shhhhhhhhhh. The rules haven't mattered for years. And there was zero chance we weren't going to talk about the brand new Santa murder movie! 

Wife steps in at the zero hour to save us once again as we have a chat about legacy sequels - a phenomenon that is only getting more popular. What makes a good one? A bad one? Are we still excited to see our childhood franchises resurrected? Does our youngest child fall back sleep? All that and more!

It's time to take a journey back to the late 90's and early 2000's! Linkin Park, Korn, Limp Bizkit, Papa Roach and so many more ruled the radio and we are going to revisit some of the biggest nu-metal hits of that era. Join Rob and I as we rank, argue and do spot on impressions of all the singers.

Ok it's time to begin officially bouncing back and there's no better way to do it than with a pair of talented guests! Not just one but two fantastic authors are on board this week as I'm joined by podcast newcomer S.H. Cooper and returning guest Laurel Hightower. We about their libraries of incredible work and also 2009's "how is this a kid's movie?!" movie Coraline. 

Buy all of S.H Cooper's books!

Buy all of Laurel Hightower's books!

I allowed myself a break this week and wanted to use this week's episode to explain what exactly has been going on. I talk a lot in recent episodes about how hard things are and keep bringing up projects that aren't getting done so here's a brief explanation as to why.

How am I still sick!? Sam joins me on a Saturday morning to chat about the 2008 found footage monster movie Cloverfield as I get to school her on the backstory of the monster. Happy Halloween everyone!
