Late episode this week, but we are VERY pleased to announce the oft-discussed and long awaited New and a Bit Alarming, coming soon to your pod-listener! Please enjoy this special season preview.

The Mayor and Colleen take a look at "Susan Slept Here", a cavalcade of high-waisted pants, men watching each other shower, ugly lighting, and a heapin' helpin' of good old-fashioned misogyny.

Brian and Robbie return to childhood while watching the Dreamworks joint "Rise of the Guardians", which is a bit of collection of half baked ideas, but mostly the kind of half baked where it's still gooey and yummy. I've achieved a metaphor! More than this movie keeps doing. Also, Robbie does a commercial for box wine and talks a bit about Ghost Dad.

Hey, why is this posting on Monday instead of Tuesday? Well, I'm sure that's the only unusual thing going on here, today, on April 1.

David and the Mayor get bummed out watching "Merry Friggin' Christmas", a movie with an overqualified cast and an underdeveloped script. Join us as the plot wanders, the actors falter, and Clark Duke valiantly tries to save the day by just pretending he's in a better movie.

Hello, all! Due to me directing a play and being just bonkers busy, I don't have an episode edited for this week, so instead, here's the first full length episode we did on our Patreon bonus feed, wherein Flonk and I watch an extremely British horror film with an extremely tenuous Christmas connection. Regular episodes should resume next week.

Welcome to "A Surprise for Brian and Emily", the nation's number one podcast where two people discuss American Girl books in order to avoid talking about ANOTHER damn Kevin Spacey movie because I GUESS WE'RE HAVING A KEVIN SPACEY MARATHON. Anyway, this one is The Ref, a "comedy" with the joke quality of "Letters to Santa" and the humanity of "Dutch". Costarring Penis Leary and a bunch of character actors who deserve better.

Bird's the word this week, for some reason, as the Mayor and his brother review a movie about Santa and his brother, Fred Claus! Join us as we lament the numerous plot elements that lay abandoned on the floor, and the wasted cast, including Rachel Weisz, Miranda Richardson, Elizabeth Banks, and OH GODDAMMIT, WHO INVITED THAT GUY.

The Mayor and Anton return to the world of Muppets for the bizarre and lazy Post Office propaganda film "A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa", featuring perfunctory cameos, two good jokes, and sleepwalking puppeteers. Also, we keep getting distracted by our off-mic plans to become indie comics darlings with a book about a polyamorous robot thruple.

The Mayor and Justin discuss "Dutch", a road comedy where John Hughes tries to retread some of his old hits, and somehow winds up with a slobs vs snobs comedy where the snob keeps coming off better because at least he's a CHILD and shouldn't KNOW BETTER. We also throw the word "monster" around a lot, but if you know a better description for these two, I'd like to hear it. One of them eats a BUTTERFINGER in a CAR.
