Trees in Space Show

Welcome back, space cadets! On this episode of "Trees in Space," your hosts Jason and Nate dive headfirst—boobs first?—into the wonderfully weird 1996 cult "classic," Barb Wire. That’s right, it’s Pamela Anderson in full pleather regalia, mysterious contracts about who can show what on screen, and a plot that somehow fuses Casablanca with post-apocalyptic biker chic and a dollop of Nazi cosplay for good measure. This week, Jason confesses he didn’t even realize Barb Wire was a comic book movie, while Nate admits he was way ahead of the curve—having watched it originally, although not as a fan of Pamela. (Apparently, blue-eyed blondes just remind him too much of his sister. Ew?) The duo tackles everything from the movie’s deeply confusing timeline (why does the "future" look like 1986?) to its smoking hot, gravity-defying fashion choices, to that age-old cinematic question: why can Pamela show all the boobage but everyone else is stuck with pasties? Was Barb Wire secretly trying to channel the classic romance of Casablanca? Did the plot get lost somewhere between the strip club and the retina scanner? And what exactly is “plot armor”—or maybe just plot underwear? Our fearless hosts dig through the darkness (literal and metaphorical), debate the acting chops of the cast (Pam’s not the worst! Who knew?!), and argue whether this movie deserves a full tree or just a lonely stump on their patented rating scale. If you’re ready for a hilariously honest breakdown of a “campy, breasty” sci-fi romp packed with flying bullets and questionable dialogue, tune in! And remember: they watch the trash so you don’t have to—or so you know exactly when to jump in for the wardrobe malfunctions. Strap in. It’s going to be a wild ride—pleather optional.

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast that reviews movies with all the seriousness of a lumberjack at a disco and the critical eye of a Russian mob enforcer with poor aim. This week, hosts Jason (not Statham, mind you) and a sniffly Nate tackle "A Working Man," the 2025 action flick that answers the age-old question: what happens if you want a Taken reboot but all you can get is Jason Statham, a white hard hat, and an indestructible motorcycle? In this episode, our hosts break down a movie so formulaic it might as well come with store-brand tomato sauce—plus a suspiciously high audience score and critics who are just as confused as our hosts about why 87% of people seem to love it. From mafia marksmanship that wouldn’t scare a stormtrooper, to plotlines abandoned so suddenly they need their own search party, nothing is safe from Jason and Nate’s gleeful chainsaw of a review. Was “A Working Man” an action masterpiece, or just another stump in the cinematic forest? Grab your snow tires and tune in for all the takes, all the groans, and all the convoluted metaphors, right here on Trees in Space!

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast that reviews movies with the perfect blend of nostalgia, hot takes, and more than a few questionable jokes. In this episode, hosts Jason and Nate take a swing at the 1989 comedy classic "Major League"—but with a twist: one host has never actually seen the movie before, and the other was in high school when it came out (so cue the “back in my day” stories). Join the guys as they break down everything from Charlie Sheen’s wild haircut and Bob Uecker’s legendary one-liners, to why Cleveland stadiums proudly supported both baseball and football teams… and, of course, why Wesley Snipes was basically unrecognizable as a baby-faced no-name in this film. You’ll hear them debate whether Rachel Phelps, the villainous team owner, is really the bad guy or just a misunderstood business genius—and which of the many zany misfit players actually had the best redemption arc. They dive into fan reviews (both glowing and grumpy, and even one confused soul who thought The Rock starred in this), drop some behind-the-scenes trivia, and wrap it all up by rating the film with their unique "tree" system. If you've ever wondered how well Major League holds up or just want some baseball banter with your comedy, this episode’s got you covered. Grab your peanuts and Cracker Jacks, because this is one major league episode you won’t want to miss!

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the only podcast where the forest might be alive—but your fish tank definitely isn’t safe from stunt doubles or Deuce Bigalow, Male Gigolo. This week, hosts Jason and Nate dive deep, or maybe just wade awkwardly, into the 1999 Rob Schneider “classic” (using that word as loosely as possible). They break down everything from $6,000 fish tank destruction, to naked aquarium cleaning, to wondering if you can actually use a fish tank cleaner as a stand-in plumber. As always, Jason and Nate dish on the best (and worst) jokes, question why Rob Schneider keeps getting leading roles (spoiler: nobody knows), and debate which scenes made them laugh versus which ones made them reconsider ever eating sushi—or touching food again. From side characters with narcolepsy and Bigfoot-sized feet to Norm Macdonald’s 30-second bartender cameo, they ask the hard questions: Is this movie more stump than grove? Ready for pies vs cakes and the Gobots version of Shallow Hal? Listen in for salty opinions, random cameos, and enough gigolos to make your high school guidance counselor blush—all on this episode of Trees in Space!

Welcome back to another episode of Trees in Space—the only podcast that asks, “What if your mom filled her empty nest... with your shirtless ex-boyfriend?” This week, Jason and Nate dive deep into the 2023 indie drama “Suze,” where an overbearing mom unexpectedly becomes caretaker to her daughter's freshly dumped, perpetually underdressed ex. Is it a heartfelt indie hit, a cringe-worthy cuddle-fest, or something in between?Our hosts bravely navigate through awkward pool scenes, existential Canadian geography questions, and a surprisingly robust debate about the correct pronunciation of “Suze.” They’ll break down the movie’s emotional highs and lows, from unwanted kisses to menopausal tea, share hilarious “did they really just say that?” moments, and even let ChatGPT review the film—because when there are no one-star reviews, you gotta get creative.So, grab your art house snacks and prepare for opinions as hot as a menopausal Canadian summer. Are you team “moving drama,” or team “awkward disaster”? Find out on today’s episode of Trees in Space!

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast where movies are reviewed not just with stars, but with a whole system of forests, groves, and stumps! In this episode, Jason and Nate throw on their cowboy hats and jump behind the wheel for a wild ride through the 1977 classic Smokey and the Bandit. What happens when a runaway bride, a charismatic trucker, an army of beer-thirsty millionaires, and a hilariously relentless sheriff all meet on the open road? Apparently, a film that’s part cinematic masterpiece, part “did anyone even look at the script’s timeline?”Buckle up as the hosts geek out over everything from the legendary soundtrack that introduced the world to “Eastbound and Down,” to Burt Reynolds’ scene-stealing wardrobe choices (and his, um, “grain silo”). Along the way, they dissect mind-blowing continuity errors (cop car damage, now you see it, now you don’t!), CB radio logic that would make real truckers sob, and the undeniable charm of Jackie Gleason sweating through his sheriff’s uniform like every lawman’s fever dream.From deep nostalgia and questionable love scenes for the ladies, to impassioned debates about how many Trans Ams died for Hollywood’s sins, Jason and Nate leave no rubber unburned. Is this movie still a five-tree classic, or does it deserve to be left as a lonely stump? Join in for laughs, fun facts, and more chaos than a high-speed chase through Georgia. Let’s hit the road!

This week, your galactic guides Nate and Jason become the first podcasters in the universe (probably) to review the brand new 2025 comedy sequel, Happy Gilmore 2. That’s right—Adam Sandler’s back on the green, and this time it’s for his daughter’s ballet tuition, not grandma’s house!

Plus, they tackle burning questions like: Why pour booze into a trash bag? Which hole has the flaming sand trap? And does anyone really need to see flashbacks if they've streamed the original twenty times already? From cameos galore (Eminem! Steve Buscemi! Wrestlers playing Sandler’s kids!) to questionable math on golf tuition, we break down the fan service, cringe, and laughs—all while dodging more spoilers than golf balls at a charity Pro-Am.

Welcome back to Trees in Space, the podcast where hosts Jason and Nate boldly swim through the treacherous waters of movie genres, armed only with hot takes, nostalgia goggles, and questionable opinions. This week, they're taking on the granddaddy of all shark movies—Steven Spielberg’s 1975 classic, Jaws. And trust us, they're not afraid to wade into controversial territory: is it a thriller, a horror, or just responsible for traumatizing an entire generation of beachgoers? In this episode, Jason and Nate debate ratings (is it PG-13, R, or “Parent Please Don’t Let Your Seven-Year-Old Watch This”?), drop fun facts about shooting locations (spoiler: Martha’s Vineyard, but someone definitely missed the lighthouse), and question the feasibility of building a steel shark cage with nothing but a nervous marine biologist and a Phillips head screwdriver. They bond over the exceptional audio engineering (because you know those seagulls were NOT in the budget), nitpick 1970s parenting, continuity errors with buoys, and marvel at one legendary drunken monologue about the USS Indianapolis. Throw in some passionate reviews from both ends of the spectrum, classic one-liners, and a new appreciation for strong movie wives, and you’ve got an episode that’ll make you think twice before saying, “Let’s go for a swim.” So whether you’re here for the shark attacks, the hot takes, or just to find out why everyone on Amity Island looks 60, grab your lifejacket and tune in for this fin-tastic episode of Trees in Space!

Welcome back to Trees in Space! In this hilarious episode, Jason and Nate dive headfirst into the 1996 comedy “Sgt. Bilko” (or as Jason struggles to remember, definitely not “Blinko”). Picture this: Tony Stark’s charm, Ferris Bueller-style shenanigans, a scheming master sergeant, and Steve Martin at the wheel—what could go wrong? Well, apparently not much, because both hosts loved it so much, they watched it twice.With a combo of insider Army experience and a deep appreciation for absurd one-liners, Jason and Nate break down all the military mayhem, from professional-grade uniform patches to questionable motorpool activities, and even the accurate aroma of a muddy obstacle course. They debate everything from the authenticity of the Army depicted (realistic… except, maybe, for the roulette tables in the barracks), to whether Steve Martin is comedy royalty or a “disgrace” depending on which internet reviewer you ask.Along the way, you'll get quick-fire rundown of glowing and groaning audience reviews, thoughts on why critics got it totally wrong, and plenty of speculation about the original TV show. Jason dishes out a rare four-tree rating, while Nate can’t bring himself to go higher than three trees and a stump—seriously, get your forestry scoring chart ready.Bottom line: If you love witty banter, movie nostalgia, and military mischief—all filtered through the lens of two guys who’ve actually lived the Army life—this is the episode for you. Buckle up, because on Trees in Space, you’re always just a one-liner away from a good time.
