414- JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS Feb 19, 2020

Show notes

Tune that guitar, this week we crank it to 11 to rock out with JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS! Starring Rachel Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson and Tara Reid, it's the classic story of three young girls who just want to rock the world and how they get manipulated by the corporate pop music machine into selling junk. Also starring Alan Cumming, Parker Posey and Gabriel Mann, this movie surprised us with its humor and subversiveness, but how does it hold up now?

413- CATCH ME IF YOU CAN with Anne T Donahue Feb 12, 2020

Show notes

Run, don't walk, to your earbuds because this week we're chasing down CATCH ME IF YOU CAN! Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom "Won't You Be My Neighbor" Hanks and Leo "I saved a guy from drowning once" DiCaprio, CMIYC tells the somewhat true story of con man Frank Abegnale as he forges checks and lies his way through the American Dream. Also starring Christopher Walken and Amy Adams, Catch Me If You can mixes the thrills of a classic crime caper with the feeling of never being good enough for your dad to be proud of you.

We loved it when we were seventeen claiming to be thirty, but how does it hold up now that we're actually old?

412- AIRHEADS Feb 05, 2020

Show notes

Throw up the horns, this week we get heavy with AIRHEADS! I'm talking Brendan Fraser on lead, Steve Buscemi humping the low-end and Adam "Enter Sandman" Sandler pounding the skins like a madman, this movie rocks more than any uncut gem! It's the story of three struggling rockers who will do anything to be heard, including holding an entire radio station hostage. Also starring Michael McKean, Joe Mantegna, Judd Nelson, Chris Farley and Ernie Hudson, this movie rocked us to our very cores when we were younger, but how does it hold up now?

411- ARGO with Sina Rahmani Jan 29, 2020

Show notes

As the Oscars draw near and we prepare to bestow statuettes upon the movies that deserve them most, we look back to ARGO, the 2012 Academy Award Winner for Best Picture. Directed (and starring!!!) Ben Affleck. Also featuring Victor Garber, Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Alan Arkin and every other recognizable person Ben Affleck could call in for a favor, Argo tells the very real story about how, during the revolution, six diplomats were ferried out of the country by pretending they were Canadian filmmakers. Sounds thrilling, eh!

We were dazzled by all the celebrities in 70's wigs, but how does it hold up now?

410- STAR TREK FIRST CONTACT Jan 22, 2020

Show notes

Ensign! Chart a course for STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT! In anticipation of PICARD, the new Star Trek series revisiting the Next Generation world, we slingshot around the sun to re-experience what some would say is the best TNG movie. Directed by frickin' Riker (Jonathan Frakes) and starring Patrick Stewart and the rest of the crew (except Wesley Crusher), our tricorders show readings of extreme action with peripheral awe and wonder. But has the time space continuum tarnished the hull of this mighty ship?

409- MY COUSIN VINNY Jan 15, 2020

Show notes

Lawyer up, 'cause court is in session with MY COUSIN VINNY! Starring Oscar Winner Joe Pesci, Oscar winner Marisa Tomei and non-Oscar winner Ralph Maccio, it's the story of a couple of city slickers who get more than they bargained for when roll into the South to defend two innocent kids accused of murder! Also starring Lane Smith and Fred Gwynne, this movie was found guilty of being hilarious. But how will hold up under appeals?

408- BRICK Jan 08, 2020

Show notes

New year same game. Prick your ears up at this morsel. BRICK. High school noir, ya dig? Rian Johnson's big debut and everyone was there for the ball. Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Emilie de Ravin. Lukas Haas. Names. Faces. Clues. You with me? Then let's dance. A lot of folks have it out for Johnson for mucking up their space stories. But word is his "Knives Out' is a sharp number. The question is, does "Brick" stack up as evidence of his filmmaking mastery? Or does it reveal him for nothing better than a genre-mashing hack?

407- THE TRUMAN SHOW Dec 25, 2019

Show notes

Merry Christmas! Thank you all for listening and watching with us all year! We hope that you have an amazing holiday filled with fun, friends and family and we look forward to rewatching more of our favorite and used-to-be-favorite movies in 2020!

In lieu of another Christmas movie, this week we talk about THE TRUMAN SHOW! It's the movie where Jim Carrey thinks everyone's watching him, and this time it's true! Also starring Ed Harris, Laura Linney, Noah Emmerich and Paul Giamatti, this movie seemed to blur the lines between reality and fiction, but how does it hold up in today's entertainment saturated world?

Show notes

Christmas is just a short week away and gear us up we spend some time with THE HOLIDAY! Written slash directed by Nancy Meyers and starring Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law and let's not forget (because he sure did) Jack Black, The Holiday is a delightful romp which follows two heartbroken women, an American and a Brit, who exchange houses and find love where they least expect it.

Film writer/ programmer Katie Connell joins the festivities this week. This movie warmed the cockles of hearts in Christmas 2006, but how does it hold up now?

Show notes

Get your X-Mas list together because we're going to see Santa! Yes, this week we're talking about MIRACLE ON 34th STREET, the 1994 update of of the 1947 holiday classic! Starring 'lil Mara Wilson, Richard Attenborough, Elizabeth Perkins and dreamy Dylan McDermott! It's the story of a little girl who refuses to believe in Santa unless she gets exactly what she wants for Christmas. If only we'd known how easy that would work. Produced and scripted by John Hughes, Miracle helped us find the true spirit of Christmas, but how does it hold up now?
