Feel old yet? Bend It Like Beckham came out 18 years ago. If it were a person, by now it could already play professional soccer (or excuse us, football). And since we don't have any real sports to celebrate now, you picked this Parminder Nagra-Keira Knightley starrer as the eighth Pandemic Pick of the Week.

Save the pilot, save the world.

The gender roles are reversed in this week's superheros theme on STEP AND REPEAT!

And the film you've chosen for us this week is...Wonder Woman, the 2017 outing from Patty Jenkins and starring Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, and Robin Wright. This movie is just about the only good movie in the  extended universe, so we're glad you didn't stick us with Justice League! 

Listen to Matt and Andrew go on about the good, the bad, and the Gal Gadot as we get ready to be transported back to 1984 for the sequel later this year....hopefully.

It's a new dawn, it's a new day, and we're feeling good. So good, we're talking about feel-good movies as the theme for Movie of the Week!

And the film you've chosen for us this week is...My Best Friend's Wedding, the 1997 romantic comedy classic starring Julia Roberts, Dermot Mulroney, Cameron Diaz, and Rupert Everett. This movie is now older than Kimmy was when it takes place. To that end, Andrew and Matt go full throttle on the emails, the brick cell phones, and the patriarchy! 

Be our George and always be there for us....or be Jules and fall in love with us for 9 years. Or be Kimmy and be super excited about meeting us! Just don't be a Michael. Never be Michael.

We're under attack! And not just by the coronavirus. This time, it's the plants....and the folks who brought us The Happening. 

The theme this week is VIRUS MOVIES, and you've chosen us to watch this 2008 thriller from M. Night Shyamalan! Matt and Andrew go deep on this much maligned movie with Mark Wahlberg, Zooey Deschanel, and John Leguizamo. We tackle all of its ridiculousness, its actually good qualities, and compare it to the COVID-19 outbreak. How does it hold up in 2020 standards?

And listen through for our listener email, a sidetracked discussion on Succession, and the most 2008 thing about the movie! And stick around for our reveal of next week's theme!

This week, we're bringing you the classics, the best of the best - the Best Pictures even. We put the choice in you hands, and you chose One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest!

Andrew and Matt go back to 1975 to talk about mental illness, institutionalization, heroes and villains, and Oscars history with the classic One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, directed by Miloš Forman (Amadeus, The People vs. Larry Flynt). Famously, this movie took home 5 Oscars - the big ones: Best Picture, Best Director, Best (Adapted) Screenplay, Best Actor (Jack Nicholson), and Best Actress (Louise Fletcher). It's Matt's first time seeing it, so see how he and Andrew think this movie stands up in 2020!

Then stick around for our reveal of next week's theme!

You've been asking how we've been, so we're back with new material! We're launching a new "Quarantine" miniseries while we're all hunkered down avoiding COVID-19. 

For the next several weeks, we'll be covering a variety of movies with a different theme each week. And you'll get to have a say in what we watch. So for Week 1, we're doing "New Movies." Those movies that were in theaters for a hot second before all the theaters shut down, forcing them for early release on demand.

We gave you the options and you chose The Invisible Man with Elisabeth Moss ("The Handmaid's Tale", "Us"), directed by Leigh Whannell ("Upgrade"). So join us for our return episode as we cover what worked in this new thriller so you can decide if you want to spend the $19.99. And stick around for the end for a quick review of second-place Emma. and a reveal of what the choices are for next week!
