Barry and Julia discuss this classic sci-fi film from 1978. They get into the mechanics of how the pod people arrive from space. Is it space sperm? They talk about the meaning of the film as a cult and fight against conformity. They wonder about public mud baths and how dog man was created. Barry also gets into his epic day walking around San Francisco on a self-guided Invasion of the Body Snatchers Tour. This episode was a listener request. Thank you Jason!

Barry and Julia grab a broom and fly to the wonderful land of Oz for an epic time at Shiz University. Listen in for Barry's take on musical theater, talking goats and hiring actors who can't sing.

Would you take a mystery substance to be younger? That's the question asked in the unhinged, gory and overly long film, "The Substance." Barry and Julia discuss whether they would take the Substance, what's missing from this film, why they found it hilarious and the "Julia Scale" of scary movies.

Barry and Julia delve into the 2024 body horror film "Night B*tch" starring Amy Adams as an exhausted mom turned...dog? Based on the critically acclaimed novel of the same name, this film got your hosts talking about parenthood, sleepless nights and whether "Mother" should have gotten back with her husband or murdered him. This discussion will resonate with anyone who has stayed up rocking a baby and then sleepily walked that child to the library the next day just for some social interaction. Did this film resonate? Listen in and hear their candid conversation but don't worry, Barry will bring it back to the absurd rather quickly.

Barry and Julia are back with new episodes in 2025 and are starting with the controversial title, "It Ends with Us." What was once a surprise summer blockbuster has soured into a wave of bad press. Your hosts discuss the difference between a Meet Cute and a Meet Creepy Atop a Building, the likeliness of running a flower shop despite no visible customers, the bad flashbacks vs. the even worse present scenes, the awful names of the characters and how Blake Lively is stuck having two lousy hot dudes to choose from. While we understand the importance of a topic like domestic violence, this film is worthy of our snarky critique and we tell you why.

If you are a victim of domestic violence please know there is help out there: 1.800.799.7233.

Barry and Julia discuss why they heck they even chose to talk about this movie, who really makes the decisions for this podcast and their lingering regrets. Barry goes into detail on the sitcom nature of this film versus the first one, "Three Men and a Baby" and all of the ways this script has no tension or stakes. We talk about Tom Selleck, how he was the original Indiana Jones and why his character never got together with Sylvia until 6 years later! We find the funny through all the nonsense and hope you enjoy!

This is Season 3, Episode 23. (Episode 127)

The fact that this film was even made, much less with Bruce Willis, is unbelievable. The only version available is the unrated directors cut. Good luck finding the original theatrical version. (If you do, Barry is interested in knowing where you found it.) We discuss the history of erotic thrillers, how Bruce Willis was able to succeed even though he made films like this, and all the ways this film goes over the top and just keeps going. Willis plays the worst psychoanalyst who, after a client kills herself he ends up stealing his colleagues therapy group. We get into the details of the therapy group, the longest sex scene in cinema, what makes this film gratuitous and why is could have been a comedy.
