We Love to Watch

THE BIG GAME month kicks off with Ernest B. Schoedsack and Irving Pichel's fantastic THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME.

THE MOST DANGEROUS GAME was a runaway hit story by Richard Connell, and interest in the story has carried on for nearly a century later. But back in the 1930s, two directors used the leftover KING KONG sets (Schoedsack co-directed Kong) to make a daring adaptation with splashes of intense violence and social commentary.

Our When the Small, Gets Big Month concludes when with Fight the Future, with 1998's X-Files movie.

We spend a lot of this episode discussing the X-files in general, and the colonization arch, so if you have somehow remained unspoiled, please watch 200ish hours of great-to-middling television before catching up on this ep.

Trigger Warning: Sexual Assault, Child Sexual Assault

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me was David Lynch's attempt (sans Mark Frost) to continue the story of Laura Palmer beyond the cancellation of the original show.

We're joined by THE PRODUCER, Carrie, who we are so proud of and as an archival producer gotten a great gig - PBS' Finding Your Roots. Check out a recent ep they worked on, with Rebecca Hall, here:

"The Small Gets Big" Month enters into a tailspin as we watch 1997's The End of Evangelion.

Aaron watched the series for the first time, and we talk about overall impressions, episodes 25/26, and how the movie wrecked us. We're joined by fellow sadboy, Ryan Boland!

Next Week: We bum ourselves out again with Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me.

Our month of big screen adaptations of TV series kicks off with Transformers: The Movie, something Aaron has begged Pete to do on the show for years until Pete came up with a theme that could do it.

New Year! New Us! And also, an old year, with the same us!

We've taken our usual 24 months to assess and determine the best of movies of 2020, and we're finally ready to share! Once again, we're joined by our show's producer and best friends, Carrie Amanda.

Also, make sure you check out the show Carrie worked on, Finding Your Roots! The new season premieres on 1/4 on PBS: https://www.pbs.org/weta/finding-your-roots/watch/seasons/season-8

John McClane is no fan of computers!

We decided to take a quick pause, before we finish our Die Hard series, but doing the one no one likes and we said we wouldn't cover: 2013's A Good Day to Die Hard.

We'll finish up with Live Free or Die Hard next week, but we thought we give this one a shot and add a little Christmas twist.

We're back (with a vengeance) to cover Die Hard (with a vengeance), and we're joined by guest Ryan Boland (with a vengeance).

Did the promised fight between Aaron and Peter comes to pass on whether this is better or worse than Live Free or Die Hard? Find out as we chat about Die Hard with a Vengeance (with a vengeance).

DIE HARD month continues with, you guessed it, DIE HARD 2, the last of the DIE HARDs you can consider a Christmas movie.
