Show notes

We are so serious, we love the second film in the Christopher Nolan Batman Trilogy, The Dark Knight. Why so serious? Because it’s amazing!!!
Jenika Marion and Reilly Zamber are huge Christopher Nolan/Dark Knight fans and BEGGED to be on this episode, so we obliged and were so happy to have them back on. They bring some great takes, like they always do.
This episode ends with us playing a newer game straight from Buegs’ brain we are calling the Malkovich game and our Patrons get to hear us draft our Top 5 Favorite Character Voices in Film. So many great performances were drafted.
Reminder that Rob and Buegs have some fun Christmas shows you can stream! Information below. We hope you’re all staying healthy and safe out there and enjoying the Nolan Batman Trilogy with us!

A.I. EP. 84: Nolan Batman Trilogy - Batman Begins Nov 26, 2020

Show notes

It’s the 15th anniversary of Christopher Nolan’s take on the caped crusader, Batman Begins. A gritty, dark version of Batman that we hadn’t seen before comes to life in the first of the Nolan Batman trilogy.
We had to bring back a recurring guest to the show who loves all things Nolan and Bale, Straight No Chaser’s Seggie Isho! He’s so funny and has a new Christmas album and some live shows they’re going to be streaming! Check out www.sncmusic.com for more details.
This episode ends with a fun Imitation Game and our Patrons get to listen to us battle it out during our Top 5 Christian Bale Films Draft.
If you haven’t watched this trilogy before, or even if it’s been a while since you’ve seen them, this is a great excuse to get reacquainted with one of the better trilogies out there.
Enjoy!

Movie Game Night: Road Trip Edition Nov 19, 2020

Show notes

Home Free had gotten together to film their Warmest Winter Holiday Special and Buegs made the trek to Nashville to hang out (and maybe be a part of the special????). Rob had driven by himself from Minnesota to Tennessee and Buegs accompanied him on the way back to the Twin Cities. We had 13 hours in the car and for a little over an hour of that we played a Movie Game and recorded it for your listening pleasure. If you like the Movie Game you’re going to enjoy this episode. If you don’t...we’re sorry.

A.I. EP. 83: Kindergarten Cop 30th Anniversary Nov 12, 2020

Show notes

The movie that brought us “It’s Not A Tumor” “I’m a cop you idiot” and so many more classic Arnold one-liners is having it’s 30th Anniversary! Kindergarten Cop was a huge part of our childhoods and we had to do an episode on it.
We brought in one of our buddies from college who has the best Arnold Schwarzenegger impression we have ever heard, Evan Kelly. Even if you don’t want to hear an entire episode on Kindergarten Cop, it’s worth checking out our quotes section just to hear his Arnold. It’s amazing.
We end this episode with a fun game of Last Man Stanton and our Patrons get to listen to us draft our Top 5 Favorite Movie Teachers.
We hope you’re doing well and enjoying the podcast!

A.I. EP. 82: Special Election Episode - The American President (25th Anniversary) Nov 05, 2020

Show notes

By the time we’re releasing this we may know who won the American Presidential election, so we thought Aaron Sorkin’s The American President was a perfect choice for this week’s episode. It also happens to be having a 25th anniversary which seemed even more of a reason to deep dive into this film.
Timmy St.Sauver is a lifelong friend of Rob’s and has been on the pod numerous times. We know he’s a lover of everything Sorkin and it was a no-brainer choosing him for this special election episode.
We end with a fun Imitation Game and our Patrons get to hear us draft our Top 5 Favorite Movie Presidents.
No matter who wins this election, let’s all just be thankful that we won’t have to deal with another one for another 4 years...
Enjoy!

A.I. 81: Spooky Halloween Special: The Cabin in the Woods Oct 29, 2020

Show notes

Happy early Halloween everyone! We thought since this has been the most terrifying year of existence that we would talk about a funnier Halloween film, Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard’s Cabin in the Woods!
Reilly Zamber, who you know as half of the music duo The Hound + The Fox, is a lover of Halloween and all the spookiness it brings, so we had to have him come back on the pod and give his most terrifying takes.
We end the episode with a fun Imitation Game and our Patrons get to hear us battle it out during our Top 5 Movies Featuring A Cabin Draft!
We hope you stay safe and have a great time this Halloween!

A.I. EP. 80: “Juuuuust a bit outside” - Major League Oct 22, 2020

Show notes

Since the MLB World Series is upon us, we thought we would talk about one of our favorite baseball films of all time, Major League.
This film gave us Wild Thing Ricky Vaughn, Willie Mays Hays and Bob Uecker’s hilarious one liners. We had to get someone who appreciated these things as much as us and thankfully Seggie Isho from Straight No Chaser is also a big fan. We always have a great time talking with Seggie and he has some really fun takes on this one.
This episode ends with a game we call The Starting 5 and our Patrons get to hear us draft our Top 5 Favorite Baseball Films.
Enjoy watching the Rays take on the Dodgers in the World Series and enjoy this episode on Major League!

A.I. EP. 79: Wedding Crashers 15th Anniversary Oct 15, 2020

Show notes

If you know Buegs or Rob well, you’ve heard them quote Wedding Crashers many times. If you’ve given Rob a hug he may have said “Let’s bring it in for the real thing.” If you’ve been around Buegs and someone has left the room you may have heard him say “I never know what she’s doing in there.” Those are just a few of the many gems that this film delivers.
A couple other people who find this movie delightful are @TheAdamChance and @SamiMatarante, otherwise known as Chami. They are always wonderful guests and this episode is no different! We had such a good time talking with these two.
We end this episode with an Imitation Game and our Patrons get to hear us battle it out during our Top 5 Favorite Movies Featuring A Wedding.
We hope you’re all enjoying being our Stage 5 Clingers, we love you!

Movie Game Night with The Filharmonic Oct 08, 2020

Show notes

We have been having so much fun doing our Movie Game Nights and we thought it was about time to bring on the crazy talented a cappella group, The Filharmonic! Rob was on The Sing Off with these guys back in the day and they are such good dudes. We had a blast playing a few of our favorite games with them. Check it out!

A.I. EP. 78: Social Distancing Sessions - Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure Oct 01, 2020

Show notes

Hey dudes! We went back in time to talk about the cult classic that has produced two sequels, 1989’s Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure. We figured that since the third of the trilogy, Face The Music, came out recently that we would pay homage to the original.
There was absolutely no question who we were going to ask to be a guest on this episode, the Wyld Stallyn himself, Nathan Stone. Nate quotes this movie all the time and it was so much fun to hear his history with this film.
We ended the episode with a new movie quote game and our Patrons get to hear us duke it out during our Top 5 Favorite Movies Featuring a Phone Booth/Pay Phone.
We hope you’re all staying happy, healthy and safe out there. And we encourage you to take Bill & Ted’s advice: Be Excellent To Each Other.
