Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider

Latest Episodes:

Episode 63: 'Super 8,' 'The Tree of Life,' 'Beginners,' mailbag Jun 10, 2011

Show notes

This week on Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider we’ve decided movies are good! First up, “Super 8″ from the creative genius minds of J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg. It’s a classic, fun ride. Next up is “The Tree of Life” from the creative genius mind of Terrence Malick. You have to bring something to the table to enjoy this movie about life, God and the universe, and you should make sure to see it in the theater. See this film. Only Jeff saw “Beginners” and you should too. Ewan McGregor and Christopher Plummer are fantastic. We update the box office challenge and all signs point to Jeff not having to shave Eric at the end of the summer.

QOTW – Tell us your experiences of someone’s like or dislike of a movie making it impossible for you to have a relationship/friendship with that person.

Episode 62: 'X-Men: First Class,' 'Midnight in Paris,' '13 Assassins,' Interquel Jun 03, 2011

Show notes

This week on Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider, Jeff and Eric disagree slightly on “X-Men: First Class.” Eric loved it, Jeff merely liked it. There’s a lot of friction over that. They both found Woody Allen’s “Midnight in Paris” funny and delightful, though, and Eric recommends the bloody “13 Assassins” (which Jeff didn’t see) for those who like bloody Japanese things. QOTW is: What are your “dealbreaker” movies — movies that could prevent you from dating or being friends with someone if you found out they loved (or didn’t love) them? If you have any actual experiences with a relationship being damaged by disagreement over a movie, by all means, tell us! Jeff and Eric also played a game of Interquel that went all kinds of crazy.

Episode 61: 'The Hangover Part II,' 'Kung Fu Panda 2,' interview with SNL writer Bryan Tucker, Pitch Me May 27, 2011

Show notes

We have two big sequels this week on Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider. “The Hangover Part II” is a pretty close copy of the first film, with somewhat diminishing returns. “Kung Fu Panda 2,” on the other hand, is a worthy follow-up, with a good story and everything. Then we have a guest: “Saturday Night Live” writer Bryan Tucker, who’s been with the show six years and has plenty of inside scoop about how “SNL” comes into existence every week.

Episode 60: 'Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,' 'Hobo with a Shotgun,' 'Hesher,' Pitch Me w/ Dawn Taylor May 20, 2011

Show notes

This week on Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider the boys talks about “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.” Arrrrr (that’s a pirate noise as well as our feelings). While Johnny Depp is still engaging as Captain Jack Sparrow, the new movie is very much like the last two. A lot of filler. Next up, Eric talks about “Hobo with a Shotgun” and is quite pleased with it. Then both of them discuss “Hesher” starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Rainn Wilson. Next they answer the QOTW and pose a new one – “What movies have you not seen that you feel you should have? Your “secret shame.” You might be surprised what Eric and Jeff haven’t seen. Plus, Dawn Taylor shows up to play Pitch Me.

Episode 59: 'Bridesmaids,' 'Priest,' 'The Beaver,' 'Everything Must Go' May 13, 2011

Show notes

This week on Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider: “Bridesmaids” is quite funny! And raunchy, and has ladies instead of men! “Priest,” which wasn’t screened before it opened, is mediocre at best. “The Beaver” has Mel Gibson talking with a hand puppet. “Everything Must Go” has Will Ferrell drinking beer and sitting on the lawn. Your QOTW: What kind of role would you like to see Johnny Depp play next?

Episode 58: 'Thor,' 'Jumping the Broom,' 'Something Borrowed,' Summer Box Office Challenge May 06, 2011

Show notes

This week on Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider, ’tis the season for summer movies. We start with talking about “Thor.” He’s the god of thunder, and now he’s mixed in with The Avengers clan. Next, Jeff saw “Jumping the Broom” while Eric tried, but failed. Finally, the boys sat through “Something Borrowed” and explain why you shouldn’t. Then, it’s all about summer movies. First, Jeff and Eric pick their most anticipated movies of the summer, with a twist. Then, they play a summer box office game that could lead to Eric shaving his beard. We need more suggestions for what Jeff should have to do if he loses, and what Eric should do if he loses.

Episode 57: 'Fast Five,' 'POM Wonderful Presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold,' 'Hoodwinked Too,' Tribeca Film Festival Apr 29, 2011

Show notes

This week on Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider, your favorite film critics express qualified admiration for “Fast Five,” which is dumb but fun, if too long for its own good. Jeff and Eric both liked “POM Wonderful Presents The Greatest Movie Ever Sold,” a Morgan Spurlock documentary about the business of product placement in movies. Bayer saw “Hoodwinked Too! Hood VS Evil,” for some reason, and says you should not do the same. Eric recounted a few Tribeca Film Festival highlights (be on the lookout for “The Good Doctor” and “Point Blank”), and they read some favorite drive-in experiences for QOTW. Next QOTW: What is your most anticipated summer movie?

Episode 56: 'Water for Elephants,' Interquel, Jeff's Africa trip Apr 22, 2011

Show notes

This week on Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider … Bayer is back. He has returned from Africa, to grace the listeners with his presence. In his honor, Snider decided not to see any of the movies that were released this week. Well, that’s not exactly true. Bayer saw “Water for Elephants” starring Robert Pattinson, Christoph Waltz and Reese Witherspoon. The backdrop of the 1930s circus was his favorite part, the other stuff … not bad. The boys play a rousing game of Interquel, perhaps the best ever. The movies “Se7en” and “Inception” were used in the making of it. The QOTW is “What is your favorite drive-in theater experience?”

Episode 55: 'Super,' 'Rubber,' 'Rio,' 'The Conspirator,' 'American: The Bill Hicks Story,' 'Scream 4,' Scott Weinberg, Pitch Me Apr 15, 2011

Show notes

This week on “Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider,” Jeff Bayer is still wherever the hell he is, but he and Eric D. Snider pre-taped reviews of “Super” and “Rubber” for your listening pleasure, along with a round of Pitch Me. So there’s plenty of Bayer! Eric also talks about “Rio,” “The Conspirator,” and “American: The BIll Hicks Story.” And then, live via satellite, horror maven Scott Weinberg talks to Eric about the “Scream” series, including a review of “Scream 4.” Scott’s cat Jones makes a silent cameo.

Episode 54: 'Hanna,' 'Arthur,' 'Soul Surfer,' 'Your Highness,' Mike Russell, Matt Patches, Pitch Me Apr 08, 2011

Show notes

On this week’s very special edition of Movie B.S. with Bayer and Snider, Jeff Bayer is in Africa, doing goodness knows what, but do not fear! He and Eric D. Snider pre-taped some stuff before he left, so the show still has your recommended daily allowance of Bayer. They both liked “Hanna” pretty well. In the studio, Mike Russell (@culturepulp on Twitter) and Snider agreed that “Arthur” is passable but nothing special. Via Skype, Matt Patches (@misterpatches) told us about “Soul Surfer,” and he and Snider expressed their disappointment in “Your Highness.” Then: pre-taped Pitch Me, with Henry Winkler and Natalie Portman! And all was well in the land.
