Comedian Jill Weiner joins Levin and Levi to talk about Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers. A movie about the media's sensationalism of violence. We all wanna see some good ole murder! Is it a good movie? Jill thinks so. Oliver Stone makes Oliver Stone movies. That's that.

We're all over the place on this one. Jess reads Oliver Stone's entire wiki page, we make fun of Whitney Cummings, talk about how River Phoenix was better than Jaoquin, and Levi breathes heavily into the microphone. Smooches!

Jessica and Levi discuss a true masterpiece with the funny and questionably Jewish Matt Benjamin. An iconic film that has stood the test of time, "The Girl Next Door." A movie about love, pornography and scholarships? IT STINKS!

Julia "Goolia" Kastner joins the pod to discuss Rob Reiner's "When Harry Met Sally." Beware of spoilers, they get together in the end! Julia, Jessica and Levi talk love, relationships and Genghis Khan (friend of the pod), and we don't mention the Katz's deli scene once.

Derek Humphrey joins our tirades. This week it's Begonia. We weren't expecting a movie this recent, but here we are. So, yes, there are spoilers. Don't listen if you live under a rock and haven't seen one of the best movies of the year.  We discuss men, Coke cans, and how we all would bang Ben Affleck over Matt Damon. 

Jessie Clemons, if you are reading, the Oscars robbed you. 

  The third amigo joins Levi and Levin with the one and only, Talal Alyan, with Michel Gondry's  2004 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind- a beautiful, miserable film about love, memory, and the desire to forget the people who absolutely devastate you. 

Some of us enjoy the film and understand it's about choosing connection, even when it hurts. The other is, well, a coward. If you listen closely, you can hear the "fear".  We also discuss the beginning of the end of the ever-so-loved archetype  "manic pixie chick" and the beginning of the "performative brooding male," the cast, Levi cries... ok, no, he doesn't, but wanted to see if anyone actually reads this. 

We interrupt each other, gang up, talk over each other's plot points, and absolutely project our own baggage onto the film, like real friends.  This episode is a heater. Just listen to the damn thing. 

For the first episode of You Pick the Movie, Levi and I are joined by comedian friend  Nick Tilleli, who kicks things off by choosing the most aggressively 90s action movie possible: The Last Boy Scout. We talk Bruce Willis, unhinged dialogue, football violence, and why every character in this movie seems like they haven’t slept in weeks. Along the way, we get into comedy, growing up on movies like this, and how the films you watched way too young end up shaping your personality. This is the tone of the show—movies, dark humor, and talking way too much about things that probably didn’t need this much analysis.
