  • Episode 47 - Next (2007)

    It's Saturday night and we're in the spot. Don't believe me? Just watch. 

    And watch they did. The boys watched Nic Cage's 2007....effort..."Next." And not the salacious MTV dating show. No, this "Next" had magic. And superpowers. And superjuice. And Jessica Biel. 

    Before all that, the lovable lads regale the audience with tales of Brock's Grand vacation, Brian's baggy-diapered bacchanal, and...you know...some light string theory and quantum physics talk. Something like that. 

    Let's get int-Actually, you know what? I have to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize for the aural assault that Brian lays down at the top of this episode. I am truly, truly sorry. 

    Now, let's get into it!

  • Episode 46 - Seeking Justice (2011)

    Nobody knows the trouble we've seen. Nobody knows our sorrow...

    My goodness gracious, did the fellas walk right into a stinker of a film this week. One might say it was downright horror-ble! Your brave boys Brock and Brian took a trip into the old, abandoned, spooky castle for another one of Nic's castle-period thrillers "Seeking Justice." 

    But before the guys attempt to polish that turd, they talk dinner plans, they talk wife gripes, and they spill the tea on one of their most infamous battles, and give (arguably too much) insight into the Best. Damn. Reese's. That. Brian. Has. Ever. Had. 

    Let's. Get. Into. It!

  • Episode 45 - Guarding Tess (1994)

    ***Full Disclosure: Our editor completely blew this week's editing budget on Reese's Minis and completely fudged up the original posted version. The sound was off. So if you downloaded that version, feel free to delete it and play this one instead!*** 

    Now, where were we? Well we were working in the lab, late one night. When our eyes beheld an eerie sight. For our monster from the slab began to rise. And suddenly, to our surprise...

    ...He was Nic Cage! That's right, boys and ghouls! Brock and Brian crept and crawled their way through a witching watching of Nic Cage's 1994 cantankerous comedy (and then, during the back half, decidedly NOT a comedy) "Guarding Tess." Featuring a spirited performance by Shirley MacLaine, and maybe 3 total jokes, this movie will haunt our dreams. It takes a turn. Boy, does it take a turn. 

    Before all that, the boys discuss their Halloween plans, their group costumes of yore, they deliver some birthday shoutouts, and Brock shares a teeny tiny bit of personal news. All while Brian tries to sneak in snippets of backstory for the most epic feud in their history.

  • Episode 44 - The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010)

    It's too late to 'pologize...It's too late!

    After the aural assault that we laid upon their fans last episode, the boys have returned with their tails between their legs to review a normal, light-hearted, magical romp through New York City a la Nic's 2010 classic "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." Brian asserts that this film is based entirely off of the Mickey Mouse "Fantasia" short of the same name. Brock asserts "Wtf are you talking about?"

    Before all that, the "Baruchel Bros" discuss politics, religion, sex and relationships...Or rather, they recap the fallout from drinking on last week's episode, the horrible state of shape that they are in, and their disgust with two of Hollywood's Elite.

  • Episode 43 - Windtalkers (2002)

    Holy buckets, y'all. Holy freaking buckets. 

    We'll be perfectly honest. We have no idea what to write here, because we truthfully don't remember recording half of this episode...
    Here's what we DO know:
    - This is our second Live episode. Brock and Brian are back together under the same roof. 
    - We started this recording with a full bottle of rum. We ended this recording with an empty bottle of rum. 
    - At some point, the boys must discuss Nic Cage's 2002 film "Windtalkers," a WW2 drama. We think. 
    - The boys also discuss how they got these scars, they re-order another batch of 10 films, they try to revive Bowling For Soup's career, they talk about love lost and found (I think?), and they...look, I'm being perfectly serious. I can not remember. 
    - This could easily go down as our best or worst episode. 
    - You're in for a treat. You are welcome. This is all for you. 

    Good luck.

  • Episode 42 - Mandy (2018)
    ***Warning, at the top. This film (and the podcast that follows) is traumatic, disturbing, and downright nasty. So, it's going to be a rough one. Fair warning. You've been warned. Can't say we didn't warn ya. Achtung, baby!***
    That's right, mother'sdaughters! Surprise!
    I bet you all thought we were watching Windtalkers this week. But we switched up the game, we seized the opportunity, we claimed our birthright, and we jumped way ahead to watch Nic Cage's festival circuit darling, his (at one time) highest-rated film, his magnum opus...2018's slasher psycho revenge flick "Mandy" instead. It. Was. A. Doozy!
    Before all that, Brian and Brock discuss upcoming wedding duties, we get a peek inside Brian's wife's pregnancy, we throw out some piping hot takes, and we preview an upcoming treat for our listeners.
    Without further adieu, let's get into it.

  • Episode 41 - World Trade Center (2006)
    Where were you when the world stopped turning?
    Yeah? We're going to start on this note? Hoo boy...strap in and get your tissues ready for this one. The boys (respectfully) watched the 2006 Nic Cage film "World Trade Center," a drama about the titular buildings that were attacked by terrorists and the heroes that were trapped beneath them.
    Yep. But it's also a Nic Cage film...so...take that for what it's worth.
    Before all that, the gentlemen scholars take you lucky listeners on a (respectful) winding trip through apple-picking country for an Anniversary, they discuss the highlights of Blake Lively's film oeuvre, and somebody has a real (respectful) bone to pick with a particular popular seasoning.
    Let's (respectfully) get into it!

  • Episode 40 - Snake Eyes (1998)
    Whoa, we're halfway there. Whoa. Oh. Living on a prayer.
    Take our hands, the boys watched Nic Cage's 1998 crime thriller "Snake Eyes," we swear. A somewhat confusing and ambitious film directed by Brian de Palma (of "Scarface" and "The Untouchables" fame) co-starring Gary Sinise and world-famous actress Carla Gugino.
    Before/after/around all that, the boys play a hot & boozy wet mouth game (which, coincidentally, describes Brock's college reputation). They look forward to the future. And Brock asks Brian the million-dollar question.
    Let's get into it!

  • Episode 39 - Vampire's Kiss (1989)
    I'm a vampire. You're a vampire. She's a vampire. 'Cause we're all vampires, hey!
    Oh goodness. Oh man. Oh boy. And oh geez.
    This is the big one, folks. The big Kahuna. The big enchilada.
    This is not a drill.
    The boys have finally cashed in on all of their Nic Cage movie gambles and went full tilt this week. It paid off with a chance to watch 1988's thriller (?) vampire (?) film "Vampire's Kiss." This entire cinematic experience is PEAK Cage from tip to tip. It's the meme-worthy classic that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, but was still a whole lot of fun.
    So draw your blinds, break your mirrors, flip your couches, grab your wooden boards, and buckle in. Because this just got real.
    Before all that, the boys discuss Brock's "Avocado theory," they get a very brief inside scoop on Nic's interview habits, and they play a little drinking game of tag...lines.
    And without much further adieu...Let's. Get. Into. It.

  • Episode 38 - Trapped in Paradise (1994)
    Almost paradise, we're knocking on heaven's door.
    Trapped in Paradise, we expected so much more....
    That's right. The faithful and dedicated boys sat down to watch 1994's Nic Cage, Dana Carvey, and Jon Lovitz holiday team-up "Trapped in Paradise." Oh boy...Oh boy boy boy.
    Before all that, Brock and Brian discussed the Princess of Pop Tay Tay and her amazing performance, the true Christmas spirit, proper restaurant etiquette, and dining (forever) alone.
    Let's get into it.
