The Other Half

In honor of James Dean's death, Ethan and Mike watch the last movie he starred in, Giant. Clocking in at 3 hours and 21 minutes, Giant tells the story of a rancher family and how even the best-laid plans may go awry. Oh, it takes place in Texas so even for a movie in the 1950s, there's gonna be a touch of racism.

Ethan and Mike watch the CLASSIC movie Sunset Boulevard. Does this movie made all the way back in the '50s still hold up? Turns out it's one of the best movies we've seen for the podcast in a while. Don't worry we still get up to our weird shannaigains because the '50s are ripe for making fun of!

The writers behind this movie were not exactly #Alive while writing this paint by numbers zombie flick. Ethan and Mike watch a South Korean zombie movie set in our modern social media times. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like #Alive does anything new with the use of technology. In fact, this may be the most egregious error in this otherwise competent zombie movie.

Apparently this movie was big on Netflix in the US.

If we told you Radio Rebel, a made for TV Disney movie, was an allegory for rising up against your oppressors, you'd probably say, "Yeah it has Rebel in the title."

This movie has aged soo poorly, but fighting for the lower class to rise up and take charge never goes out of style.

We regret to bring you Infamous. Bella Thorne and Jake Manely star as "influencers" who gain their fame through robbing dispensories. The moral of this story is crime doesn't pay...or is it? This is a movie punching high above what its actors, script and director are capable of handling.

So it's bad, but is it fun bad? Listen to the podcast to find out! Come for the hot takes and stay for a link to Ethan's OnlyFans.

To end '90s month, the boys watch a Steven Spielberg classic, Hook! We'll be honest, we were not looking forward to this movie at all, but it turns out it's actually not as bad as we thought it would be.*

Grab your pixie dust, stan for Rufio, and download our latest episode. There's only one requirement.... don't grow up!

*Okay it wasn't fun to watch. Why is this movie so long??

My Girl is Boomer catnip. At least that's what we thought the movie was about at first. After discussing more of the plot deals, we still believe this movie was mostly beloved for its portrayal of "the good old days." That being said, it has a poorly fleshed-out surface-level coming of age tale.

Also if you know nothing about this movie like Ethan did, please don't look anything up. Just listen.

In our second week of '90s month, the boys talk about Fried Green Tomatoes. Eating fried unripe tomatoes could be considered a southern past-time, but you know what's also southern?

Racism when you least expect it.

Who knew this movie about two women's friendship (or maybe love?!) would also have a half-assed racism subplot? It's a weird clumsy movie but has a lot of heart even if doesn't have a lot of brains.

It felt like Only Yesterday Mike was born. Okay, 1991 was quite a long time ago, but in the honor of Mike's birth year, we're watching movies from 1991 all month!

Only Yesterday came out in Japan in 1991, but didn't actually make its way over to the states until 2016. One reason is that the Japanese voice acting was so critical to the animation process. You'll have to listen to this episode to find out.

To round off Netflix month we end on the raunchy comedy, The Package. The story of the package is a guy accidentally cuts off his own penis. The joke of The Package is a guy accidentally cut off his own penis. The quality of The Package makes us want to cut off our own penis'.

From the studio that brought you Workaholics, The Package is one of the worst films we've seen this year.
