Episode 277: 277: One Magic Christmas (1985) Dec 27, 2024

Show notes

On this dig back into a past Holiday special, Doug has no idea why the deadbeat dad in this film is so obsessed with the little girl living next door, Jamie reveals that her husband may have something wrong with him because of his childhood fondness for this movie, and we both warn listeners to steer clear of any Christmas Angel that looks like Harry Dean Stanton. Sink all your money into a sure-to-fail bike shop, don't let that cashier charge you for Doritos you didn't buy, and join us as we wonder how murdering a character's family before their eyes helps them embrace the Christmas spirit as we discuss, One Magic Christmas!

Show notes

On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie suspects that streaming service Tubie and Shaquille O'Neal are trying to make her give up the vegan lifestyle, Doug wats the Shindler's List opening credits to involve more karate, and we both wonder if our terrible foreign accents should be seen as offensive or just an accurate representation of the performance. Don't play ball in the house (especially when the mob wants your entire family dead, enjoy your Casino/Gypsy booze cruise, and join us as we struggle to understand how the first 10 minutes have anything to do with the rest of the movie while talking about, Pray for Death!

Show notes

On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie wants a movie that explains the whereabouts of both Bill and Ted's mothers, Doug explain's exactly what it would take to convince him to get in a stranger's van, and we both dig far too deep into the aspects of this silly time travel comedy that make no logical sense. Don't bring Freud along with you to pick up babes, earn that Ziggy Piggy button, and join us as we swing wildly between entertainment and frustration while discussing, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure! We're gonna get some hate for this one.

Show notes

On this dig back into past Patreon episodes, Doug fears that anyone he works with will ever stumble upon this podcast, Jamie really tries to figure out why Hollywood kept giving Rowdy Roddy opportunities to appear in motion pictures, and we try and make sense of characters just refusing to put sunglasses on even just to humor this idiot.

Episode 271: 271: Victory (1981) Nov 22, 2024

Show notes

On the latest episode of the podcast, Jamie has a sneaking suspicion that these Nazis are bad dudes, Doug has a suspicion that Stallone is playing his character the way he is based on a dare, and we both have a hard time concentrating on this plodding historical drama because of how amazing Sly looks throughout. Press your coffee cup against the side of your face throughout a lengthy conversation for no reason, try not to gel lost in the Paris sewer systems, and join us as we feast on a Slysgiving film that neither of us new existed with, Victory a.k.a.: Escape to Victory!

Show notes

On this dig back into past Patreon episodes, Doug would rather talk about Lea Thompson meeting Howard Stern, Jamie gets distracted when her dog starts barking at the possibility of a giant duck, and we quickly come to the conclusion that this is not a film for children or adults.

Show notes

On this dig back into past Patreon episodes, Doug tries to understand why the characters are all wearing Halloween costumes to ring in the New Year, Jamie finds David Copperfield uncharismatic and simply creepy, and we both delight in the constant Barbara Walters 'soft focus' of all interior shots.
