BRUNCH: Recasting Forrest Gump Apr 28, 2025

Show notes

We can't be the only people who has wondered what a modern-day recasting of "Forrest Gump" would look like, right? Instead of having Forrest Gump be born in the 40's, our new Forrest could be born in 80s. This would give him a whole new set up historical and cultural events to be a part of. Join us as we all bring some ideas to the table and we ultimately pick the actors who will step into those iconic roles. Enjoy!

Forrest Gump (1994) Apr 24, 2025

Show notes

On today’s episode, we discuss the #11 highest rated movie of all-time on IMDB.. It was the highest-grossing film of 1994 domestically in a year absolutely stacked with movies. It was the winner of 6 Oscars and spent an insane 42 weeks in movie theaters. We dive deep. Is Jenny actually as terrible as we think she is? Is it just a fun story or can we actually learn anything from Forrest? Did all of this actually happen or is Forrest an unreliable narrator?

Show notes

Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve made a bold choice today. Instead of going to work, doing chores, attending school, or paying bills — you chose us. You chose to fake sick, throw on a bathrobe and spend your day with three grown men dissecting a 1986 teen comedy in order to get clout on the internet. Today, we live like Ferris. No responsibilities. No guilt. No Cameron whispering “I’m dying.” We’re eating pancreas at fancy restaurants, crashing parades, and joyriding in a priceless Ferrari we have no business touching. And if you don’t stop and listen to this podcast once in a while... you could miss it. Let’s break down Ferries Bueller’s Day Off, scene by scene. Here we go!

Fight Club (1999) Mar 27, 2025

Show notes

"This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time." Welcome to Thursday, our new release day and we have a doosie for you. Fight Club is one of those movies that defined the late 90s/early 00s. It was edgy, poetic, intense and the twist was one of the greatest in film history. But 25 years later, we've all grown up and we're wondering if this movie is as good as we remember. We dive REALLY deep into this one and you will love it. Enjoy.
