The Bricked Pit episodes

  • S04 E16 Those were the days
    Nostalgia is a helluva drug. Remembering a bygone era can make us feel better. Memories are often unreliable and present things in a preferred narrative. As children, we didn’t have the responsibilities of adulthood; therefore we tend to remember the years of our childhood as being a ‘better’ or ‘simpler’ time. Entertainment taps into those feeling by presenting stories set in the times of our youth or by bringing back an IP that you enjoyed in an effort to entice you to watch. Some of those films tell a good story set in those times. Other just copy and paste the original into a newer package.

    Topic: Movies to grade your relationships by
    We love movies because they can affect us in so many ways. A lot can be learned about people from the types of movies that they prefer to watch. Sometimes we use those preferences to make decisions about people and how we’re going to interact with them. Now we share the movies that we use as metrics for our friends and enemies

  • S4 EP08:The Bear Movies and the One About Water

    Well, it was back in '24 when Adam up and sold all his possessions and moved out west to the Rockies to live off the land as a trapper and all around mountain man since he already felt that he had the beard for it. Josh began training to accomplish his lifelong pursuit to fight a bear in a sumo match. As for Jason, well he decided to sail around the world solo in an inflatable kiddie pool. Why'd they do such things? Some say that they were crazy. Others say they was bored. Still, some believe that they were just plumb stupid. Turns out that they were all those things. Plus, they wanted to prepare to talk about movies concerning man vs. nature like Project Grizzly, The Revenant, All Is Lost, Jerimiah Johnson, and Never Cry Wolf.
