Now We Know

Latest Episodes:

The Fanatic (2019) Jul 06, 2026

Show notes

Staight from the Now We Know premium vault, your freshly-unlocked episode for this week: a look back at John Travolta's most utterly incomprehensible decision since Moment By Moment, THE FANATIC (2019). Travolta portrays Moose, an awkward, neurodivergent Hollywood Boulevard street performer who is a tremendous fan of actor Hunter Dunbar (Devon Sawa), perhaps dangerously so. The less spoiled about this one the better.

The Flash (2023) Jun 30, 2026

Show notes

Hoo boy it's the Flash, the one from 2023, with two Ezra Millers, Michael Keaton, some other people I've since forgotton... oh yeah, this one make you relive the climax of Man of Steel repeatedly. Really did not enjoy this one (this is Chris by the way)... I guess it's nice to see Ron Livingston... the mom is pretty cute? Anyways please enjoy your latest Patreon vault unlock.

Lightyear (The Buzz Lightyear Movie) Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

Get ready to bite into what Disney has assured us is a *delicious* meat-bread-meat sandwich of a film: Lightyear, the Buzz Lightyear movie, your latest unlocked Patreon episode. Chris and Kevin both saw this movie in theaters solo as single adult men - Chris, in particular, wore sunglasses with his jacket collar flipped up while murmuring "one for Lightyear" at the venerable Elmwood theater box office.

Aladdin (2019) Jun 08, 2026

Show notes

You ain't never had a friend like Will Smith, for it is he who will prove, once and for all, that he is a fun, talented, and normal guy, in that order. This week, unlocked from the Patreon vault, Disney's 2019 live-acrion Aladdin remake, which hauled in an astonishing, life-deffirming $1 billion at the box office.

The Star Wars Essential Guide To Characters Jun 01, 2026

Show notes

The Mandalorian? Grogu? Rotta the Hutt, who no matter what you've heard is his own man? All these and more will NOT be discussed on the latest Now We Know Patreon unlock: it's 1995's Star Wars Essential Guide to Characters, written by Andy Mangels. Reunite with the whole crew! Bollux! Blue Max! Davin Felth! Figrin Dan and his Figrin Band! And, of course, Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan.

Ewoks: The Battle For Endor May 25, 2026

Show notes

This week, with the first Star Wars feature film in years set to hit theaters (the Baby Yoda movie), we unlock from the depths of the Patreon vault... EWOKS: THE BATTLE FOR ENDOR, the 1985 made-for-TV movie starring Warrick Davis as Wicket the Ewok, Wilford Brimley as Noa, Aubree Miller as Cindel, and Carl Struychen (best known as the Giant from Twin Peaks) as King Terak.

Unfrosted (2024) May 18, 2026

Show notes

Your latest gem from the Now We Know vault — the horrifying Unfrosted, Jerry Seinfeld's return to the world of feature films. There's a surprising number of cameos by actually talented people in this (including the the always-marvelous Andy Daly as the Quaker Oats guy), yet virtually nothing can overcome Seinfeld's unique, and unfortunate, sense of what's funny.

Space Jam: A New Legacy May 11, 2026

Show notes

More like HOOP, there it is! On the precipe of his elimination from the 2026 NBA playoffs, at the hands of the similarly odious Oklahoma City Thunder, our latest unlock from the Patreon vault: it's Space Jam: A New Legacy, the confused semi-hagiography of LeBron James. Primarily addressing his struggles to be a good father (not to the real LeSperms, Bronny or Bryce, but a false, Hollywood-invented LeSperm named Dom), it's impossible to overstate how little this movie cares about the Looney Tunes. If you like the Tunes, this movie isn't for you!

Snow White (2025) May 04, 2026

Show notes

Open sesame, you say, standing at the hunk of solid rock you presume covers the way into the Now We Know vault - or maybe the Now We Know mine?

Your Patreon unlock for this week: 2025's "live" "action" Snow White "remake," featuring such characters as the titular White, her auto-tuned plasticine boyfriend, the "dwarves," and an evil queen who sounds an awful lot like she's got enough champagne to fill the Nile. Really touching how they handled Dopey in this one.

Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House Apr 27, 2026

Show notes

Your latest unlock from the annals of the Now We Know Patreon...

To hell with The Money Pit! No, we Are Not Done Yet! Forget these modern iterations — it's Cary Grant and Myrna Loy who pioneered the disastrous home improvement form with Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House. Originally released in 1948, making this one of if not the oldest feature film we've covered, this light comedy about the perils of falling in love with the dream home in your head made for a refreshing palate cleanse.
