Hey there Snobbies. Sorry for the late entry. Things have been a tad hectic on out end. Pretty rare for us to miss a Monday release. Today’s pick comes to us all the way from across the pond! But he’s here now! It’s ETHAN JASSO!! He has picked a gem of a RomCom for us this week, The Silver Linings Playbook! We had such a blast talking about this film and mostly just having fun with our very good founding snob Ethan. We hope you enjoy this ep!

Hey there Snobbies. Today we have Caleb’s pick for ROMCOM. Jared came in HARD that this is NOT a RomCom. This was heavily debated on this episode as we discussed why the Paul Thomas Anderson Directed film “Punch Drunk Love,” belongs in this category. If a film’s heart is romance and comedy, isn’t it a RomCom? Is it a NeuroDivergentRomCom? Is it just pure chaos energy? What we DO know, is that this is a heck of a film and we were here for it! Eric especially loved any time Philip Seymour Hoffman graces the screen. This episode was a lot of fun, we hope you enjoyed it too.

Snobs. HOLY COW. Or should I say….Holy BEAVERS! WE decided to watch a INSANE film from the creative and genius mind of Mike Cheslik and Ryland Brickson Cole Tews…comes a film unlike anything you have ever seen, and we can confidently say this, “Hundreds of Beavers.” This film is taking a silent film approach with ADR and hyper-toonlike-violence and we are HERE FOR IT! We talk about Beavers, Rabbits, raccoons, trappers, Santa Claus, surviving the winter, genocide, and much much more. With ZERO expectations, we seriously enjoyed watching this film and can’t wait for you to watch it too. You’ll have to rent it, but PLEASE PLEASE rent this film and join us on this journey. Enjoy!

Film Discussed: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Hundreds of Beavers (2022)

We gave Cody the assignment to pick the topic and the film. He picked ROM COMS, and picked the unlikely choice of “Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines,” directed by Ken Annakin.

Yes, we figure that out. Enjoy!

Snobbies! We have a special one for today. Today is Eric’s pick and he picked one his favorite films of all time when he was a kid, Stephen Sommers, “The Mummy” This episode is a lot of us talking about the Mummy, but even more of us talking about other random things haha. We enjoyed this adventure romp and Brendan has NEVER looked better. This was a fun one, hope you enjoy!

Snobbies! We’re back with Cody’s pick for REMAKES and this one is a stone cold classic. Kurt Russell has never been hotter?? Questions mark?? This remake is from a 1951 original called, “The Thing From Another World,” adapted from the 1938 novel, Who Goes There? WE WATCHED Director John Carpenter’s,  “The Thing.” THIS. FILM. RULES!!! We had an absolute blast watching this film. Every once and a while, the Snobs watch a film that just makes us react. The Thing was more psychological than we thought and we loved talking through what makes us human? Who can we trust? What even was this film trying to say? One thing was for sure, this film had EPIC visual effects. Ooey, Gooey, gutsy, visual effects.  Enjoy this legendary film

Welcome back everyone! And welcome to a special mid-week episode of the film snobs. Today we are featuring Part 2 of the Annual Snobbie awards. The SNOBBIES are a very important and yearly tradition where we come up with the categories and criteria and then feature films that probably didn’t have much of a chance in the Oscars and some that did. We, as per usual, had an absolute blast making this ep. Thanks again to RICKY and ETHAN! We love you and miss you. We hope that you enjoy this ep!
