The Film Bros

Grab your acrylics and dollar bills and get ready to scramble through New York City looking for an insufferable child of a Russian Oligarch, because we're diving into Sean Baker's exciting, refreshing, and super entertaining instant classic, ANORA! Along the way we discuss the complex nuances of portraying sex work on screen and the true meaning of the ambiguous ending, as well as some exciting movies coming down the pipeline in 2025!

Well, considering the goings on in the world, we thought this might be the best topic for our first discussion ep of Season 9 -- our comfiest, coziest pics for movies we watch when everything feels bananas!

What are your favorite comfort movies?

It's SEASON NINE, bros! And we're kicking it off by diving into the sweatiest, the manliest, the most live tiger-y movie of Y2K -- that's right, it's time to take our chances in the ring with Ridley Scott's GLADIATOR! Obviously we're preparing for what can only be described as Alex & Steph's Personal Superbowl, GLADIATOR II (which we WILL be covering when it comes out!) -- but we also discuss the difficulty of having a psychopathic pain-in-the-ass for a family member, the absurdly effective longevity of practical affects, and, of course, what animal we think WE could beat in a Colosseum battle!

BROS! We are BACK next week with SEASON NINE of our lil podcast, and we simply could not be more excited, more grateful, more overwhelmed with joy that our passion project has made it all the way to NINE SEASONS -- and we have many more in store!

Here's a little taste of what's coming up in the next two months 🎉

ALSO, important Patreon information -- existing Patreon subscribers will NOT be affected by this, so do not stress! BUT, for anyone joining for the first time, please know that the App Store has made some (greeeeedy) changes, and now anyone signing up for Patreon through the App Store will be charged an EXTRA 30%. So, to avoid that, head to Patreon on a desktop and sign up through your browser -- that way, you only spend what goes to the creators, and nothing extra for the corporate fatcats!

Oh god. Here we go.

Bros, Steph might be away for this episode, but DON'T PANIC -- she'll be back soon, and in the mean time, Alex is joined by Meghann and Erin, two sisters and cohosts of the excellent podcast, MY SKEPTICAL SISTER! Today, we discuss the best (and worst) ghost movie tropes, traumatic childhood horror movie exposure, AND we even dissect one of Alex's personal, lived ghostly experiences!

Grab your proton packs and twinkies because we're going back to 1984 for Ivan Reitman's GHOSTBUSTERS!

Along the way, the Bros discuss the weird rizz of Bill Murray, the hilarious ways movies get made in Hollywood, and whether or not ghosts exist... and would they blow Dan Aykroyd??

Considering that we sometimes can barely get through a recording making sense in English, you may be surprised to learn that The Bros do enjoy quite a few international movies! From France to Poland to China to Spain to India and more, there are so many excellent films from all over the world -- and we'd love to see more! What are your favorite foreign films?

Steph & Alex revere and rip on the 2009 space epic, Pocahontas in Space! Just kidding, it's Avatar. And Steph & Alex would formally like to apologize to James Cameron for any and all criticisms of this movie, and to please cast them in your next project.
