Trust Me Bro

La La Land

Have you ever had a gap in your movie knowledge? Something that everyone saw and they always seem to talk about and you just never watched it? It’s ok, we all have those movies, we all those gaps. There is always Someone in the Crowd who hasn’t seen something. And it is with that idea in mind that we introduce a brand new type of episode on thePhileo Podcast – we call it Trust Me Bro. It’s a place for all the movies that one of us likes, that the other has never seen. And it is here where we will hash out what we liked and didn’t like, if we think the other person is crazy or if we’re grateful for another day of sun – I mean for another movie that wecan love. So welcome to the first ever Trust Me Bro episode of the Phileo Podcast, where we talk about La La Land.

Deep Thoughts on Shallow Subjects

80s Movie Draft

We’re hopping in the DeLorean and heading back to the decade of our birth to pick our favorite movies of the 80s.From finding out the villain is your father, to almost getting hit by a train, we’re here for all the hits. It’s inconceivable what a never-ending list it is.

Late Nights at Blockbuster

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off

41 years ago today….Ferris Bueller took the day off….and it was the longest day in the history of the world. Not since God made the sun stand still in the sky so Joshua could defeat theAmorites has there been a longer day than June 5, 1985. And so we want to remember that day and talk about all the great things that happened, all the outdated technology that was used, and one of the most insane and inept principals of all time. So get in the car – we’ve got lunch reservations, we’ll go to an art gallery, catch a baseball game – we might even sing in a parade…all without ever getting caught.

Late Nights at Blockbuster

If you’re not first, you’re last! Our latest Late Nights at Blockbuster is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. We discuss how no one actually refers to this movie by it’s official title. Buckle in for a long list of favorite quotes and scenes. It’s safe to say that we had to dig deep to find some good spiritual metaphors or illustrations for this one.

Late Nights at Blockbuster

To the trees, to the trees! Our next Late Nights at Blockbuster is the 35th anniversary of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. The Drax winner was so easy that we had to do the runner up discussion. After we talk glowingly about how much we still enjoy the movie, we talk for a solid 15 minutes on our “Who Beefed” section. We round out the conversation with some action figure talk for those that were around our age when this came out.

Project Hail Mary

This week we are talking about the new Ryan Gosling movie – Project Hail Mary. We give it two thumbs down and absolutelyrecommend going to see it. If you are confused by that sentence, you should go watch the movie so you can understand. We keep things spoiler free until the 33:50 mark.

Late Nights at Blockbuster

We are celebrating the 15th anniversary of X-men: First Class this week. We gush over the direction, the way that it has aged, and all the actors (all but one). There are a couple of big plot holes/quibbles even though this is a comic book movie and we are already suspending our disbelief. Everyone breaks out as a a star after this movie so our acting categories was a little lengthy. As if we needed more evidence that we are losing our minds in our old age, we ask ourselves in the middle of the podcast if we did an X-men ranking podcast. (Byers was correct, we did it back in 2023.) https://open.spotify.com/episode/6baWVhw8ZCscwBgSnIpQUN?si=wTeuLKUwQ7S0InesqLdirQ

Late Nights at Blockbuster

Top Gun 

We’ve got the need…the need for quoting lots of movie lines and driving a little faster when Danger Zone starts playing. Because the pattern is finally clear and so we’re coming in for much more than just a fly by as we dive deep into the 80s classic Top Gun.

Byers sets a new record for times he tries to combine acting categories or make up new ones, and Troy actually contains himself on the scenes and quotes…no really we promise this is him containing himself when it comes to this movie. And eventhough Byers is not the biggest fan of this one, everything is still all good here on the Phileo Podcast, no one here has lost that loving feeling.
