If one movie could save the world in 2020... it would be this one (but it can't) (but we loved it). Plus, Stanley sings again and knows an awful lot about this movie! It's t-t-t-teriffic!

The best movie one could ever rent from Blockbuster! Something for everyone in this one: WWII history, eye candy, fashion, Jon Bon Jovi (really), action, and (ill-fated) scuba diving. Plus, this movie sparked an international incident!

Stanley breaks out all of his "I read The Odyssey in college" energy to talk about this Cohen Brothers mini-epic. But, really, we mostly talk about George Clooney's swoon-factor and Holly Hunter for prez. This can definitely serve as a SparkNotes for this oft assigned book, right?

Marilyn and Niall, our erstwhile partners and even better film critics, join us for nerdy, nerdy super hero stuff. Stanley truly shines with the amount of trivia he knows, and unfortunately we can only pine for James McAvoy, as he is not in this movie--but man isn't he great?

Who knew 2000 gave us a white Get Out? Neither one of us would have stayed for any of the nonsense in Meet the Parents, but stay tuned for a hilarious warning-romp through the perilous landscape of taking your relationship to the next level.

Slut-shaming, office phone sex, justice, and Aaron Eckhart as a BIKER--you probably think only ONE of those things would appear in a movie about Julia Roberts trying to save lives from an evil water company. But you'd be wrong. It was raunchy, it was fun, and we have notes!

In the eighties, date movies were sweet (problematic and racist, but sweet!): Sixteen Candles, The Breakfast Club... sweet. No one was running for their lives from literal death. But in 2000, that's the date movie we got--a grab-his-arm, cuddle-up-and-scream thrill fest called Final Destination, which spawned a whole set of scare-ems. Listen up!

THE CELL!! Have you seen it? It's super weird! JLo goes into Vincent D'Onofiro's (for you Law and Order CI fans) actual mind and finds a lot of body jewelry not being used for its intended purpose. Confusingly, also starring Vince Vaughn, which is one too many "Vinces" for these podcast hosts. Check it out!

We enter Stanley and Meredith's greatest fear: an angry and open ocean (Meredith: except for snakes) to learn about fish, capitalism, and storms--and a verdict on which of those things you should be most afraid of. Clooney looks great (and you should be most afraid of snakes, but that's another movie).

The mac daddy of the year 2000--complete with recently COVID-recovered America's Dad Tom Hanks. You think it's hard to get clean during Coronavirus? Try handling a dead body on a desert island, cleaning a wound you get spearfishing with a homemade sharp stick, and recovering from the most broken heart you'll ever have (WILSONNNN!!!). We have notes!
