The Other Half

The boys watch a bit of classic American movie making Bonnie and Clyde. Does this movie still hold up in 2021? The answer may be more shocking than a tommy gun ambush!

Won't you be my Blue Valentine? The boys watch the "romantic" Blue Valentine for Valentine's Day. It stars Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams as two people who fell madly in love. In fact, it has one of the best endings of a movie that we've seen in a while. So if you're looking for love in all the wrong places, have a listen to this podcast episode.

Locked Down is the first "full" movie to be released during the COVID-19 pandemic. Did you notice how I mentioned during and not after? This movie comes out so quickly to comment on the lockdown, yet it already feels dated. Even more out of touch, the movie follows Anne Hatheway and Chiwetel Ejiofor as an affluent couple in London who suffer in their super nice house and begin acting irrationally after only a few weeks in lockdown. Ethan has not been this mad at a movie in a long, long time.

We Can Be Heroes is the latest kids movie from Robert Rodriguez and is actually a sequel/set in the same universe as Sharkboy and Lavagirl. (which we watched!) Weirdly it has almost nothing to do with Sharkboy and Lavagirl, but is more like Avengers for kids... and no one else. Robert Rodriguez made essentially a kids-only movie, so if you've already finished up puberty, I'd suggest staying away from it. Just listen to our podcast for the deep plot without the screaming kids.

Tenet is the first Christopher Nolan movie we watched for the podcast. Just like Tenet, the episode about it is an overloaded, bloated mess! We hope you enjoy it. If we ever get any facts wrong about the movie, just remember to feel it and not think too hard about it. Tenet stars John David Washington as "Protagonist".... I can't write a synopsis of this film. Not with a character name like that... you'll just have to listen to the podcast.

Steel Magnolias has been on our watch list since we started the podcast. It's time to finally dive into a movie that's bound to make anyone cry.... unless you just watch the first half. The movie fits weirdly well along with our episodes of My Girl and Fried Green Tomatoes, movies made in the late 80s or early 90s set in the 50s when times were worse/better for some. Writing this out now, I realize it's kind of similar to movies in the 2020s being nostalgic about the 80s. If this trend continues... expect to see some 90s movies coming out from Netflix, Disney, and whatever media companies remain after COVID ends.

First Cow was one of the most critically acclaimed movies to come out last year. Does it hold up to our two critic's discerning eyes? The movie, much like this podcast, is about two guys trying to make their way in the barely settled wilderness during a gold rush. Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty in this cruel, uncaring world.

New Year, New You is a holiday horror movie all about how popularity and influencers can corrupt a friend group. It comes from the same director as Black Christmas 2019, Sophia Takal. It was apparently part of a series of Blumhouse movies called, Into the Darkness. We discuss the difference between her two films and Ethan launches his own health and fitness brand coupon code. Of course, it's only for loyal listeners!

The Knight Before Christmas broke our streak of descent to good Christmas movies. Now we descend into the madness known as the Netflix Christmas Cinematic Universe. (NCCU for shore) These movies all have zero actual stakes. Characters with almost no actual real problems. No actual villains. Only cozy vibes allowed in these movies. Oh and Vanessa Hudgens I guess. She's in most of them. Grab a cup of coco and tune in.

We reviewed the first Black Christmas movie for the podcast a whole four years ago. We decided to take a look at the third remake and much like our original episode, we came away divided. Maybe it even begs the question, are any of the Black Christmas movies good? Happy Holidays!
