This week on the pod Jeff, Dave and John due our best to redeem the new Space Jam movie from those pesky critics, who have been largely underwhelmed by the LeBron James reboot of the 1996 classic starring Michael Jordan. Here, the Looney Tunes are back to help the Bron win a game of basketball under the duress of humanoid-yet-not-real artificial intelligence Al G. Rhythm, played by Don Cheadle, using gaming code stolen from LeBron's son Dom. Lots of hammed nostalgia, ads and WB cross-pros keep this an entertaining flick that currently has a strong 81% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. We discuss!

Continuing Family Week on the pod, everyone strapped themselves into those comfy recliner chairs at the movies for the roller coaster that is F9 The Fast Saga.  Dave and Jeff went to the same cinema for the first time in almost 2 years and it might have got awkward.  We  cover everything in this episode from the environment of space (or lack thereof), the adjustable laws of physics and the selective nature of magnetism (which seems to make Dave irrationally angry - why is magnetism his trigger?) and how despite all this the escapism of these movies is what brings the crowd.

This week on the pod John, Dave and Jeff discuss Marvel's newest movie... at least, the most recent MCU feature film, a standalone about Scarlett Johansson's character Black Widow. This film, set after the events of Captain America: Civil War and the infamous Sokovia Accords, takes a look at Natasha Richardson's- I mean Natasha Romanoff's- history with the Red Room, a fictional KGB espionage training program. With help from Florence Pugh, they're gonna try to bring that mother down.

We once again welcome our guest host Jeff Ronan from the And Almost Starring podcast to discuss the gratuitous oversight that neither he nor Dave (keep in mind both these people host MOVIE podcasts) have seen Dr Strangelove.  When asks the ultimate question, Jeff sugarcoats it, Dave does not and then we launch into the merits of why everyone should watch this absolute classic.

A long standing suggestion for the Was It Really That Bad, we dive into Superman IV with our special return guest Ryan who ends up trying to moderate a debate he is not prepared for.  A random roll decides who is positive and negative and Dave, who can be quite brutal ends up on the positive side.  We don't want to say he bulls&*tted his way through this, but he totally bulls*&tted his way through this and John, for the record, was way nicer than he could have been.  By the end we've covered the entire original franchise and we dedicate this episode to the memory of Richard Donner (who had nothing to do with this film but started it all with Superman: The Movie) who we found out had passed just before recording.

This week on the pod Dave finally gets over his fear of Quentin Tarantino movies by watching Steve Buscemi play dress-up with his friends in Reservoir Dogs! Quentin once worked on a Dolph Lungren workout video and learned from it to make Reservoir Dogs, and Dave was not surprised by that. He liked the movie and John and Jeff enjoyed their re-watches. We also drank some beer! Please like and subscribe to our show. We'd really appreciate it.

This week on the pod we talk about The Social Network! Yes, Mark Zuckerberg's authoritarian grip on an online community with 3 billion users has been... polarizing, but does the film hold up? We love to talk about movies so we're rooting for it! Hear how we think it's aged since it's release in 2021 and where David Fincher's vision of Aaron Sorkin's script places this film on the HoF director's acclaimed catalog.

It was raining, we needed to hide our money, we got off the main rode and checked into the Bates Motel.... We're talking about Psycho! Somehow, one of our co-hosts had never seen the film. John Say, headed to one of the country's best film schools in the fall, opens up about what it was like applying to film school having never seen Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho, one of the best movies of all time. He had seen North By Northwest, he loves Rear Window, but Psycho was always a skip. Thankfully, he had Dave and Jeff to help guide him through his first viewing experience with this absolute classic. We discuss the incredible story, oft-overlooked by the famous bits, plot devices and storytelling techniques, all while drinking beers.

This week on the pod John, Jeff & Dave discuss the newest installment of The Conjuring saga, currently in theaters and available on HBOMax through mid-July 2021. On Rotten Tomatoes this movie has a 56% critics score and 86% audience score, which makes us mad. We're a positive criticism podcast, so if you're tired of the critics always hunting for the negative, grab a beer, hang with us and let's have some fun!

This is the first Conjuring movie not directed by James Wan, which features a human(ish) antagonist, but still packed with lots of spirits and supernatural hell we love in the Conjuring/Annabelle/Nun films. Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga are back as Ed and Lorraine Warren working a real life case that gained national recognition in 1981 and a popular book in 1983. Think about what Helter Skelter would have been like if Charles Manson had the ability to curse families and summon daemons.... Yeah, I spell 'daemons' with an "ae". I read The Golden Compass and thought it was cool. Directed by Michael Chaves.

Despite having a BFA in Music Theatre, co-host Jeff had never seen 'Singin' In The Rain'! What a loon! We are once again joined by Amy Jo Jackson, co-host of the 'And Almost Starring' podcast which breaks down the casting of popular movies. Amy Jo previously joined us for our In The Heights episode, has recently written a musical and loves this classic film, so what a perfect guest! We discuss why this movie ages well, the self-aware tone, elegant style, movie magic, how changing times affects art, stars Gene Kelly, Cyd Charisse, Debbie Reynolds, Donald O'Connor and Jean Hagen, and whether or not this is the greatest movie musical of all time. It's currently available on HBOMax.
