Well, Matt and Ethan have gone and broken with reality. They still think they're up there on the silver screen instead of pining for the days with no dialogue. Join them as they discuss good and bad relationships, a conspiracy of two, and Charlie Chaplin.

Planes, trains, and automobiles! Well, actually just the trains in this seemingly-misleadingly-titled Buster Keaton silent film! Matt and Ethan hop a train and sneak through enemy lines to discuss practical effects, stunts, and Mad Max: Fury Road!

Ethan and Matt get down to the docks to claim their rights, but before that, it's time to bury some pigeons, do a B&E, and confess to some crimes.

.

Matt and Ethan wish they had never been born! In the process, they end up learning about the evils of capitalism (or was it kind-hearted capitalism?), housing market bubbles, and the mechanics of Clarence's "saving" underdog-goodguy, James Stewart.

Next on the AFI: On the Waterfront

Matt and Ethan return to the noir, but this time, it's in color! Listen in and collect the clues as they go from art imitating reality, the true color of noir, and openness in film. Will they be able to solve this case?

Next week on Patreon: Minority Report 

Next time on the AFi: It's a Wonderful Life 

This week on the AFI, Matt and Ethan assume the roles of Matilda and Ethel to escape the retribution of mob boss, Spats Columbo. Listen as they discuss the (de)merits of Marilyn Monroe's acting abilities, the range of Billy Wilder, and the many films that this one spawned.

Next on the AFI: Chinatown 

Ethan and Matt load up that ol' jalopy and head West for a slice of that American Dream. Spoiler: not only do they not find it, but instead they find the faceless machinations of the capitalist enterprise--I hate it when that happens. Join our hosts as they discuss (of all things) the Beverly Hillbillies, radical social justice, and The Batman.

Next on the AFI Top 100: Some Like it Hot

Ethan and Matt make a communal bond with a little boy and phone home so that they can return to their wondrous lives as interstellar botanists. Join them for concocted-on-the-spot justifications and the simplicity of plot.
