  • Ep 15 — Jar Jar Binks Too Much

    This week we've got a couple horror movies, two historical pieces (sort of), and a movie about teens with telekinetic powers. Do good movies need to have happy endings? We also report back on some of our recent picks, now that we've had a chance to see them in the theater.

    • Ep 14 — Like an Ent on Cocaine

      This week we've got movies from an actress who hates movies, an actor who can't show emotion (don't hold Avatar against him), and someone who may or may not be a tough guy. We also have a bit of a blow up about a musical from the past, Moulin Rouge.

              • Ep 9 — Good Funny Thing

                Jason can't read. Brad's a giant nerd. Poor, poor Tom Cruise & Cameron Crowe. Who's got an accurate list of new releases? Sometimes you need to just let some movies wash over you. Money! When Brad watches a trailer, he doesn't like feeling like he's just seen the entire movie. Piracy is not stealing.

                  We had Skype issues. Sorry. Finally talk about some Christmas movies. Brad eats three pumpkin pies every year. "I was going more for Valentine's Day stuff which was going to make me want to jab myself in the eye with a fork." What is Jason Lee thinking? "I'm really sorry that this whole franchise is now ruining your entire childhood." Sherlock Holmes!

                  • Ep 7 —Slide Show into Midlife Crisis Hell

                    Brad and Jason lament the fact that there's no holiday celebrating time travel. It's still too early to talk about Christmas movies. "Don't question me on my Thor lore, dude." Hollywood would stop making crappy movies if the American public stopped watching them. Leonardo DiCaprio should maybe stick to simpler roles. Jason likes movies with bad endings.

                    • Ep 6 — Stoking the Fires of Curiosity

                      Brad and Jason are pretty disappointed in this week's selection. Brad reports on Twilight. A bad Nicholas Sparks movie doesn't mean it's actually good. "I don't need to watch anybody else's life go out of control." Brad threatens Jason with bodily harm. Jason explains what a drive-in movie theater is. They were duped by IMDb.
