Twinsies

TJ (@tjchambersLA) and Andy (@andytwood) return after a twin-year hiatus to spew forth a molten-hot dissection of one of the most iconic twin film pairings of all time: 1997's Dante's Peak and Volcano.

TJ (@tjchambersLA) and Andy (@andytwood) are joined by Dumb People Town, Pen Pals and Hindsight host Daniel Van Kirk (@danielvankirk) for a timely look at dueling 2019 documentaries that dropped on competing streaming platforms mere days apart telling the story of an influencer-era huckster and his would-be Woodstock on a not-so-private island that turned into a disaster befitting its stupid, stupid name: Fyre Fraud and Fyre.

TJ (@tjchambersLA) and Andy (@andytwood) see trouble a-brewing over at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in a pair of movies about hunky young presidents besieged by traitors and terrorists, and the equally hunky off-duty security professionals with something to prove who rise to the occasion: Olympus Has Fallen and White House Down.

TJ (@tjchambersLA) and Andy (@andytwood) get alternately slapstick-y and slightly icky watching a pair of 2009 movies about overzealous retail security employees: Paul Blart: Mall Cop and Observe and Report.

TJ (@tjchambersLA) and Andy (@andytwood) spend an afternoon Netflix-And-Chilling with a pair of barely distinguishable 2011 "relationship" "comedies" about scantily clad, good-looking young people trying to keep it casual: No Strings Attached and Friends With Benefits.

TJ (@tjchambersLA) and Andy (@andytwood) feel the need for speed (and for settling international airspace disputes), so they ride into the danger zone that is two 1986 movies about young hot shot flyboys who play by their own rules: Top Gun and Iron Eagle.

TJ (@tjchambersLA) and Andy (@andytwood) set their sights on a pair of 1973 musicals that took on the daunting task of putting a new spin on the story of a dude who may have been more popular than the Beatles: Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell.

TJ (@tjchambersLA) and Andy (@andytwood) compare two cinematic biographies of a recently deceased tech icon, one of which prides itself on accurate hairstyles and boardroom drama, with the other playing fast and loose with historical details and accents in favor of emotional heft and backstage walk-and-talks: Jobs and Steve Jobs.

TJ (@tjchambersLA) and Andy (@andytwood) are joined by Can I Pet Your Dog? host Renee Colvert (@ReneeColvert) and a couple of pups named Tugboat and Roo to dig into two 1989 comedies that pair human police officers with canine partners that are sometimes difficult, often messy and surprisingly horny, but are willing to take bullets for their cop buddies when things get ruff: K-9 and Turner & Hooch.

TJ (@tjchambersLA) and Andy (@andytwood) take on a pair of Victorian-era magician movies from 2006 that featured stacked casts, garnered remarkably similar critical responses, and included contributions from magician/record-setting playing card-thrower Ricky Jay: The Illusionist and The Prestige.
