If you have been following this show for awhile, you know our history with The Boondock Saints. We reviewed the first one and mostly still loved it as much as we did nostalgically.  But our history with Boondock Saints 2: All Saints Day is much darker.  What can largely be viewed as one of the worst sequels ever, Mike and Sean sentenced it to some jail-time in our “On-trial” episode.  It’s out and we figured it was time to talk about it again.  Did it get any better with age?

Home Alone 2 might be better than the first. It’s the same movie, with the same characters and same plot…. but then they went and added Tim Curry.  Join us as we breakdown this classic on Christmas Day. Is this better than the original? Why is Kevin’s family so bad at traveling and why do they treat him so badly? It was our #1 rated nostalgic movie and we have at least 3 punchable faces, so tune in for a good time!

Our friend Paul Scheer loves Christmas movies just like we do. We kept hearing people talking about a new Netflix movie called 'Hot Frosty' and we figured it would be the perfect time for a review. Hot Frosty talks starts around 15:00 min mark!

The Holiday is one of the rare gems. It's love at first sight for Rom-Com fans but the talent and story is something that everyone can get behind. This movie is what every single modern-day Hallmark movies wishes it could be.  How did Amanda find the strength to get over such tragedy? Was all of this just an elaborate setup by Graham and Iris? Is Mr. Brightside the greatest song ever made? We dive into all this and so much more.

The holidays are in full swing and I'm sure you have been watching all your favorite Christmas movies. Well, if you tuned into last week's brunch, you heard us attempt to cast our very own Christmas/Hallmark movie. The casting and premise was so unbelievably perfect that we decided to actually write the script out in real-time for you to enjoy. Beware that you just got in on the ground floor of the next big smash-hit Christmas movie. There is a good chance that Hallmark will be buying this off of us for a 2025 release!

It’s officially Christmas season, so why not start it off with a bang! Gremlins was the 4th highest grossing film of the year in 1984 and spawned a whole franchise after it’s surprising success. Did this movie single-handedly help create the PG-13 rating? Is this more of a Christmas movie than Die Hard? Did one of these scene inspire Tarantino to write Inglourious Basterds? Where are the parents?

You can’t deny the power of a Hallmark Christmas movie. Stick to the formula, release it to the public and watch the cash roll in. What if they let us make one? Who would we cast in the movie? What would the premise be? It sounds easy but wait till you hear what we come up with.
