We Paid To See This

Ep 125: The Great Big Spectacular Goodbye For Now Show. Oct 30, 2018

The time has come to say farewell, each moment we’ve spent sure has been swell. We’ve laughed, we’ve sang, we’ve seen some flicks, but mostly we’ve just talked about [male flesh meat]. We be reviewing two films before taking a long, much needed hiatus; addiction drama ‘Beautiful Boy’ (Timothée Chalamet, Steve Carell, Maura Tierney, Amy Ryan), and Luca Guadagnino’s update of the Italian horror film, ‘Suspiria’ (Dakota Johnson, Tilda Swinton, Chloe Grace Moretz, Mia Goth). Old friends stop by. We derail the conversations. It’s business as usual. Thanks so much for sticking with us. It’s been a pleasure - and we sincerely hope to give you more in the future. So it's goodbye for now but gosh it's been a blast.

Ep 124: Halloween, Mid 90's & Can You Ever Forgive Me? Oct 23, 2018

We set the mood and keep it rude this week, while we review the new Danny McBride/David Gordon Green ‘Halloween’ (Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak), the Oscar worthy ‘Can You Ever Forgive Me?’ (Melissa McCarthy, Richard E. Grant, Dolly Wells) and Jonah Hills’ directorial feature debut ‘mid90s’ (Sunny Suljic, Katherine Waterston, Lucas Hedges). Tis the season to run down a list of the highest grossing horror films of all time and throw some love at John Carpenter’s soundtrack work. You bet we mention ‘Your Highness’.

On a personal note, when I typed the title of this episode, I, Darren, refused to use the same font Jonah Hills insisted upon using for his film, since he already insisted upon showing his movie in 4:3 ratio and that's about as much insisting as anyone can handle regarding any special requests. Consider yourself censored, Hills. No, I insist.

Ep 123: A Star Is Born, First Man & Bad Times at the El Royale Oct 16, 2018

Outside the streets have gone mad, and between the two of us we spend the equivalent of a day at the theater this week. Reviews include, Damien Chazelle’s ‘First Man’ (Ryan Gosling, Claire Foy, Kyle Chandler), Drew Goddard’s ‘Bad Times at the El Royale’ (Jeff Bridges, Cynthia Erivo, Jon Hamm, Dakota Johnson), and the fourth iteration of ‘A Star is Born’ (Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Andrew Dice Clay, Sam Elliott). We talk dong, Hemsworths, and show Buzz Aldrin the door. We close the show with some good, old fashioned email readin’.

Ep 122: Mandy, Thriller 3D and The Meg Oct 09, 2018

It’s a short, campy, schlocky week this go around. We review Panos Cosmatos’ dystopian, revenge film ‘Mandy’ (Nicolas Cage, Andrea Riseborough, Linus Roache, Bill Duke), and shark-centric, monster movie ‘The Meg’ (Jason Statham, Bingbing Li, Rainn Wilson, Ruby Rose). Darren gives ‘The House with a Clock in Its Walls’ a box office boost, just to check out the IMAX 3D release of Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller’, and Anthony skips town again. The world’s greatest Erik Estrada joke gets highlighted.

Ep 121: Assassination Nation & Michael Moore Fahrenheit 11/9 Oct 02, 2018

Singing genitalia, Anthony’s new catchphrase, and Darren’s post performance celebration. This week’s reviews include Michael Moore’s political followup ‘Fahrenheit is 11/9’ and Sam Levinson’s social critique, ‘Assassination Nation’ (Odessa Young, Suki Waterhouse, Hari Nef, Abra). Maude Apatow impresses and Bill Skarsgard is in everything EXCEPT True Blood. We rundown a list of our favorite sports announcers, and shoot hot, Halloween juice all up in your furniture.

Ep 120: Lizzie and more (or less) Sep 25, 2018

We’re short, we’re sweet, we’re taking a week, but that doesn’t mean we’re leaving you completely review-less. We chat about the latest Lizzie Borden film, ‘Lizzie’ (Kristen Stewart, Chloe Sevigny, Fiona Shaw), get our hacking rhymes straight, and never fail to mention the old True Blood. Plus we got offered a pretty bad deal after bars closed the other night, involving an exchange of stolen pizza knots for illicit things. Tune in to find out what, who and wheyey!

Ep 119: A Simple Favor & Susanne Bartsch: On Top Sep 18, 2018

Traffic transgressions, driveway tantrums, and a potential first class ticket to internet infamy. We review two films, the socialite documentary ‘Susanne Bartsch: On Top’, and Paul Feig’s comedic thriller, ‘A Simple Favor’ (Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, Henry Golding). We croon that sweet, sweet Gin Blossom-y sound, drown our sorrows in tequila, and keep the vibe generally loopy. Don't get emotional, baby.

Ep 118: The Nun & Operation Finale Sep 11, 2018

Our review of ‘The Nun’ is probbably scarier than the actual movie, but still, we saw it so you don’t have to. Corin Hardy directed this next installment of ‘The Conjuring’ franchise - starring Demián Bichir, Taissa Farmiga, Jonas Bloquet, Sandra Teles, Charolotte Hope and way too many nuns. We also caught the biopic based on the catpure and trial of ‘Adolp Eichman’, the monster referred to as the architect of the holocaust. Directed by Chris Weitz and starring Oscar Isaac, Ben Kingsley, Mélanie Laurent, Lior Raz, Nick Kroll and Haley Lu Richardson, ‘Operation Finale’ takes on an incredibly imporatant moment in history. Plus we’re visited by our old friend Bill Wilkins and we make everything about Madonna. Anthony also saw another thing but honestly I’ve given up trying to remember what it was.

Ep 117: The Little Stranger, Searching & Your Name Sep 04, 2018

This week, we travel down an absurd vortex of lethargy while we review two new thrillers, the Lenny Abrahamson film, ‘The Little Stranger’ (Domhnall Gleeson, Ruth Wilson, Charlotte Rampling) and the laptop-centric ‘Searching’ (John Cho, Debra Messing, Michelle La). We pit Oscar Isaac and Domhnall Gleeson against each other in a match of beauty, refuse to fall in love, and frequent a seedy theater. We give a bonus review of the body-switching 2016 anime, ‘Your Name’. Hey. Who loves ya? We do.

Ep 116: Crazy Rich Asians, The Wife & Happytime Murders Aug 28, 2018

Puppet sex, mood lighting, and one of us might be held hostage. Currently. Please send help. This week, we review three fa-hilms! Including the raunchy puppet noir ‘The Happytime Murders’ (Melissa McCarthy, Elizabeth Banks, Maya Rudolph, Joel McHale), Bjorn Runge’s, ‘The Wife’ (Glenn Close, Jonathan Pryce, Christian Slater) and Jon M. Chu’s ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ (Constance Wu, Michelle Yeoh, Henry Golding, Awkwafina, Ken Jeong). We talk two recently classic hunk filled dance scenes, debate water, and deliver the ASMR tingles that no one asked for.

Ep 115: BlacKkKlansman, Juliet, Naked & More! Aug 21, 2018

We go long and strong this week, with a show filled with tangents, manifestation, and a whole lot of Pepsi-takin’. Movie reviews include Spike Lee’s ‘BlacKkKlansman’ (John David Washington, Adam Driver, Laura Harrier, Topher Grace), and the latest Nick Hornby adaptation, ‘Juliet, Naked’ (Rose Byrne, Chris O’Dowd, Ethan Hawke). We pitch a new subscription based, virtual experience, enlist Carly Rae Jepsen’s help in saving the world, and read some of your lovely emails. Gattaca! Gattaca! Gattaca!

Ep 114: The Tale & More! Aug 14, 2018

We take a little brain break this week, and give you a little mini-sode. Fret not! We still bringeth thine movie reviews with HBO’s heartbreakingly masterful ‘The Tale’ (Laura Dern, Jason Ritter, Ellen Burstyn, Elizabeth Debicki). We chat a bit about the late, great John Heard, and speak of a future involving the return of Ms. Jackson, if you’re so inclined to be nasty. Trigger Warning: this episode focuses on a movie that deals with the topic of sexual abuse.

Ep 113: The Spy Who Dumped Me & Borg vs McEnroe Aug 07, 2018

Almost a half hour goes by before we get to the movies, but we fill the space with some much needed TV talk, including USA’s ‘The Sinner’, Patrick Stewart returning to ‘Star Trek’, and Hulu’s Stephen King series, Castle Rock’. Movies reviewed include ‘The Spy Who Dumped Me’ (Mila Kunis, Kate McKinnon, Justin Theroux), and 1980s tennis biopic, ‘Borg vs McEnroe’ (Sverrir Gudnason, Shia LaBeouf, Stellan Skarsgard). We belt out Mandy Moore, delve to the depths of our hot genitals to croon some Crash Test Dummies, and get analyzed by John Waters.

Ep 112: Mission Impossible: Fallout, Generation Wealth, McQueen Jul 31, 2018

Is eating honey animal abuse? Can a vegan have a leather couch? Do men’s nether regions droop to the floor as they get older? The answers to these questions and reviews of three great films! First, the smash hit latest installment of the Mission Impossible franchise, ‘Mission Impossible: Fallout’ (Tom Cruise, Henry Cavil, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Angela Bassett, Vanessa Kirby). Then we all serious (there are still gross jokes) with two fantastic documentaries. First up, photographer, filmaker Lauren Greenfield (The Queen of Versailles, Thin) explores the link between money and happiness by connecting a series of personal subject studies and relating the arc of their lives to the happiness quotient. Then we talk about the sophisticated and visual feast that is ‘McQueen’ ( Ian Bonhôte, Peter Ettedgui) - a documentary about the rise and eventual tragic death of iconic British fashion designer, Alexander McQueen.

Ep 111: Sicario: Day of the Soldado, Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind Jul 24, 2018

Unfortunate death hashtags, dulcet stylings, and the human condition fuel this episode. We review HBO’s ‘Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind’, gritty sequel, ‘Sicario: Day of the Soldado’ (Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro, Catherine Keener) and tease the documentary ‘Generation Wealth’. Sequel titles are analyzed, Tilikum puns are made, and Joe Dante’s ‘Piranha’ 1978 horror classic is celebrated. We celebrate the gene pool of Kravitz and Kravitz related people. Plus we rave about Sacha Baron Cohen's brilliantly subversive political comedy on Showtime, 'Who Is America?'.

Ep 110: Eighth Grade & Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far On Foot Jul 17, 2018

Anthony has strong feelings about socks, Madonna cat-calls three identical strangers and we review two films; one a contender for best of the year so far! First up, there’s the new Gus Van Sant ‘Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far On Foot’ (Joaquin Phoenix, Jonah Hill, Rooney Mara, Jack Black) then we take a deep dive into the heart of teenage angst with the surprisingly strong debut by writer director Bo Burnham, ‘Eighth Grade’ (Elsie Fisher, Josh Hamilton, Emily Robinson, Jake Ryan). Darren gets uninvited to a water park, Anthony refuses to tuck in his bed sheets and we read your email (intentionally singular).

Ep 109: Ant Man and The Wasp, Sorry To Bother You & Uncle Drew Jul 10, 2018

A new form of transportation irritates two men from a small, beach community, one of us goes to the theater just to drink, and you hear the most unqualified sports talk in the history of movie podcasting. Reviews include, Boots Riley’s debut feature ‘Sorry to Bother You’ (Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Jermaine Fowler, Armie Hammer’, Marvel’s ‘Ant-Man and the Wasp’ (Paul Rudd, Evangeline Lilly, Michael Pena, Michael Douglas), and basketball comedy ‘Uncle Drew’ (Lil Rel Howery, Kyrie Irving, Shaquille O’Neal). We recap some of history’s most important beer commercials, and learn the Australian word for raisin.

Ep 108: Leave No Trace, Three Identical Strangers & Masterminds Jul 03, 2018

Pine nuts, bee terminology, and one of us is betrayed by our own mother. Two movies are reviewed; ‘Leave No Trace’ (Ben Foster, Thomasin McKenzie, Dale Dickey) and the Neon produced documentary ‘Three Identical Strangers’ plus a brief mention of 'Evil Genius: The True Story of America’s Most Diabolical Bank Heist' - the 4-part true crime documentary streaming on Netflix. Also, a very special phone call, somebody didn’t see a movie, bad theater experiences, underage concerts, Howard Jones, and someone loses their Italian card. If you like pesto, this is the show for you. We riff on Madonna, and 'GLOW’ is back on Netflix, so we're happy(er).

Ep 107: Jurassic World:Fallen Kingdom, Won't You Be My Neighbor & Izzy Gets The F Across Town Jun 26, 2018

We’re good, we’re calm, we deal with people on the road in a civilized manner. Reviews this week include ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ (Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rafe Spall, Jeff Goldblum), the heart wrenching documentary ‘Won’t You Be My Neighbor’ (Fred Rogers, Yo-Yo Ma) and indie comedy ‘Izzy Gets the F*** Across Town’ (Mackenzie Davis, Haley Joel Osment, Laakeith Stanfield, Carrie Coon). We meet a Whitesnake fanatic, get hit on by inappropriate people, and lament a world so far removed from Mr. Rogers’. And if you don’t stay for any of that, at least stay for the old rumpy pumpy.

Ep 106: Incredibles 2, Oceans 8 & Hearts Beat Loud Jun 19, 2018

We come at you on Father’s Day in the United States with a trifecta of fun-type movies. Reviews this week include the long awaited Pixar sequel, ‘Incredibles 2’ (Craig T. Nelson, Holly Hunter, Catherine Keener, Bob Odenkirk), heist spinoff, ‘Oceans 8’ ( Sandra Bullock, Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, Rihanna), and the feel good flick, ‘Hearts Beat Loud’ (Nick Offerman, Kiersey Clemons, Ted Danson, Toni Collette). Cameos happen, we fall in love with an owl man, and get distracted by the pretty records in the wall. Apologies to Natalie Wood and Sharon Tate.

Ep 105: Hereditary, Upgrade, American Animals & more Jun 12, 2018

Darren’s back from New York, and Anthony is ill; neither event is related. We review Leigh Whannell’s gruesome action flick, ‘Upgrade’ (Logan Marshall-Green, Betty Gabriel, Harrison Gilbertson), Ari Aster’s directorial debut ‘Hereditary’ (Toni Collette, Milly Shapiro, Alex Wolff, Gabriel Byrne) and Bart Layton’s ‘American Animals’ (Evan Peters, Blake Jenner, Barry Keoghan). But we don’t stop there, so get comfortable! Darren speaks on the Andre Leon Talley documentary ‘The Gospel According to Andre’, Anthony gives a very timely rundown of James Cameron’s least successful record breaking film, ‘Titanic’, and Ann Dowd is in everything. A ghoulish friend makes his return.

Ep 104: First Reformed & Live from New York, it's Darren! Jun 05, 2018

Darren’s living it up in the Big Apple, but we still give you the goods. We review Paul Schrader’s latest film ‘First Reformed’ (Ethan Hawke, Amanda Seyfried, Cedric the Entertainer), rant about young Leonardo DiCaprio, and complain about another theater experience. We challenge each other to review some classic films that we’ve missed (or avoided). We’re back at you fresh, next week!

Ep 103: Solo: A Star Wars Story May 29, 2018

An entire episode dedicated to the latest stand-alone film in the Star Wars universe; the Ron Howard directed Han Solo origin film 'Solo - A Star Wars Story'. Starring Alden Ehrenreich, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke, Donald Glover, Thandie Newton, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Paul Bethany and Jon Favreau. If you have't seen the film yet, be aware THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Ep 102: Deadpool 2, Beast & Cold Water May 22, 2018

This is a movie focused show darn it, and that’s what you get from us this week. Thrice times, in fact. We review the most recent superhero blockbuster ‘Deadpool 2’ (Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Zazie Beets) as well as two indie flicks; Olivier Assayas’ recently restored French film, ‘Cold Water’ (Virginie Ledoyen, Cyprien Fouquet) and Michael Pearce’s ‘Beast’ (Jessie Buckley, Johnny Flynn, Geraldine James). We gush over Rob Delaney’s online persona, fall in love with the new Backstreet Boys track, and aren’t afraid to get a little pretentious. Westworld chat continues.

Ep 101: Boom For Real & The Week Of May 15, 2018

If you came for movie reviews we technically deliver on that expectation. Films discussed include the documentary ‘Boom for Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat’ and Netflix’s ‘The Week Of’ (Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Rachel Dratch, Steve Buscemi). We get existential on The Container Store, miss the former versions of some comedic powerhouses, and start a mid-show Twitter poll focused on Blondie’s ‘Rapture’ that pits us against each other. Dogs roam free, stale impressions are beaten to death, and we attempt to contain the uncontainable.

Ep 100: Tully, Grace Jones & 'RBG' Ruth Bader Ginsburg May 08, 2018

We talk the Met Gala, brainstorm religious fashion ideas for Madonna, and expel a fair amount of Catholic Guilt. Plus, Anthony gets sat on, and Darren flips off an entire bar. Movies reviewed include the documentaries ‘RBG’ (Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Gloria Steinem, Antonin Scalia) and ‘Grace Jones: Bloodlight and Bami’, as well as the new Jason Reitman/Diablo Cody team-up, ‘Tully’ (Charlize Theron, Mackenzie Davis, Ron Livingston). We have an extensive conversation on Showtime’s ‘Gigolos’, and find out where TV’s Richard Grieco has been hiding. One of us is visited by a prodding spirit.

Ep 99: Avengers: Infinity War, Disobedience & Chappaquiddick May 01, 2018

It’s happened. We’ve done it. We broke down, and finally welcome our very first guest to the show. Writer/director Andrew Heaberlin joins us to review two films, including Oscar winner Sebastian Lelio’s ‘Disobedience’ (Rachel Weisz, Rachel McAdams, Alessandro Nivola) and the biggest movie in the world right now, ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ (Robert Downey Jr, Chris Evans, Benedict Cumberbatch, Zoe Saldana, Elizabeth Olsen, Chris Hemsworth, Chadwick Boseman, Chris Pratt so on and so forth). We talk saliva, showering with the door open, taking calls on the toilet, and all things sexy. Accents are tough, we don’t go easy on them. Andrew reviews Kennedy biopic, ‘Chappaquiddick’ (Jason Clarke, Ed Helms, Kate Mara). We imbibe.

Ep 98: I Feel Pretty, Godard Mon Amour & You Were Never Really Here Apr 24, 2018

Darren flirts with the dogs, Anthony shuns a desperate stranger, and we flex the parts of us you can’t see; plus one powerful eyebrow. Reviews include Lynne Ramsay’s ‘You Were Never Really Here’ (Joaquin Phoenix, Ekaterina Samsonov, Alessandro Nivola), the Amy Schumer comedy, ‘I Feel Pretty’ (Rory Scovel, Busy Philipps, Michelle Williams), and Michel Hazanavicius’ kinda-biopic, ‘Godard Mon Amour’ (Louis Garrel, Stacy Martin, Berenice Bejo). Names are butchered, stereotypical accents are utilized, and we push for the equality of nudity in film. Don’t tell us we don’t give you what you want, because we talk about Kevin, the season 2 premiere of Westworld, and Nymphomaniac volumes 1 AND 2. Keep on flexin’.

Ep 97: Friday the 13th, Jumanji & Andre the Giant Apr 17, 2018

We’re back on schedule, and we go easy on you. All movies this week can be viewed from the comfort of your own home. Reviews include HBO Sport’s Ringer Films documentary, ‘André the Giant’ (Hulk Hogan, Robin Wright, Vince McMahon), Jake Kasdan’s Dwayne Johnson vehicle, ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ (Karen Gillan, Kevin Hart, Jack Black), and 1980’s horror classic, ‘Friday the 13th’. Help yourself to some cold, stranger fries, sing your favorite color-based vagina song, and keep your eyes peeled, our war on the coconut crab begins! And remember, always guard your Achilles tendons.

Ep 96: A Quiet Place, Blockers & Gemini Apr 11, 2018

We’re late, and sorry, and we hope you like dong, because we go all in this week. In addition to our reviews of ‘Blockers’ (John Cena, Leslie Mann, Ike Barinholtz), ‘Gemini’ (Zoe Kravitz, Lola Kirke, John Cho), and the John Krasinski directed thriller, ‘A Quiet Place’ (Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe), we talk Darren’s facial blindness, Anthony’s West Hollywood experience, and receive a visit from an old, ghostly friend. San Diego gets some love, we shame members of the animal kingdom, and get our Halloween plans situated well in advance.

Ep 95: Ready Player One & Unsane Apr 03, 2018

Anthony's Dad and Cousin fight over the ass-end of a lamb cake, Darren films the entire show on his iPhone, Ernest Cline becomes a pornographic verb and we review a couple of movies. First up, the Steven Spielberg adaptation of the novel of the same name, 'Ready Player One' (Tye Sheridan, Olivia Cooke, Ben Mendelsohn, T.J. Miller, Mark Rylance), then we passive-aggressively shush at teenagers in a sad movie theatre to watch the new Steven Soderbergh directed psychological thriller 'Unsane' (Claire Foy, Joshua Leonard, Jay Pharaoh, Juno Temple, Amy Irving). This show is good, guys. It's almost as good as the Rick and Morty Australia-themed April Fools mini-episode 'Bushland Adventures' (Google it, trust us!).

GET IN THE CAR, MORDEEEEEEEEY!!!!!!

Ep 94: Isle Of Dogs & Muppet Guys Talking Mar 27, 2018

Anthony’s feverish, Darren misfires at the grocery store, and we play a few rousing rounds of everyone’s favorite teenage party game, F. Murray Abraham. Reviews include the Jim Henson friendly ‘Muppet Guys Talking’ (Frank Oz, Jerry Nelson, Dave Goelz), and Wes Anderson’s ‘Isle of Dogs’ (Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Bill Murray). One of us discovers that John Denver is dead, the other disgraces his memory. We talk about eyes, the lack of having eyes, having too many eyes, and what it means to have negative eyes. Darren takes out a contact lens.

Ep 93: Tomb Raider, Flower & The Director And The Jedi Mar 20, 2018

Previously, on We Paid to See This, we left you with a grocery store cliffhanger, and we reveal the results of the accompanying Twitter survey that you participated in, but not before we accidentally cliffhang the cliffhanger. Movie reviews include ‘Tomb Raider’ (Alicia Vikander, Dominic West, Walton Goggins), ‘The Last Jedi’ doc, ‘The Director and the Jedi’, and ‘Flower’ (Zoey Deutch, Kathryn Hahn, Adam Scott, Joey Morgan). We debate Michael’s Fass-member, pop the soda can of virginity, and experience heartbreak at the Apple Pan.

Ep 92: Thoroughbreds, The Death Of Stalin & Heaven Is A Traffic Jam On The 405 Mar 13, 2018

BREAKING NEWS: The news sucks, so we open the show discussing how to disconnect from the negativity, while staying informed (i.e Darren's laptop is broken so he can't get sucked in to social media as much). Movie reviews include ‘Thoroughbreds’ (Olivia Cook, Anya Taylor-Joy, Anton Yelchin), Armando Iannucci’s ‘The Death of Stalin’ (Steve Buscemi, Jeffery Tambor, Jason Isaacs), and the Oscar Winner for Best Documentary Short Subject ‘Heaven is a Traffic Jam on the 405’. Anthony raves about Iannucci’s previous film, ‘In The Loop’, Darren gets traumatized by SNL, and we talk about Sarah Michelle Gellar’s career post-vampire. We rundown South by Southwest, truly show that we care about our listeners, and introduce the delightfully self-pleasuring, Hans Fray. The show ends on a Maddow-like cliffhanger. Who’s to say if it will pay off?

Ep 91: Oscars, Oh Lucy! & All Things Must Pass Mar 06, 2018

We come to you in the wake of Oscar weekend, and boy was the Academy predictable. Movie reviews include the documentary ‘All Things Must Pass: The Rise and Fall of Tower Records’ and Atsuko Hirayanagi’s debut feature ‘Oh Lucy! (Shinobu Terajima, Kaho Minami, Josh Hartnett, Shioli Kutsuna). We praise the multitalented Donald Glover, breakdown the Academy’s Best Original Song performances, and reminisce about the glory days of listening booths. Darren waits and waits for Megan Mullally, but does she ever show up?

Ep 90: Annihilation & Game Night Feb 27, 2018

This week, we learn the key to a proper selfie hashtag, let Janelle Monae rocket us into pop music’s future, and literally enter the wrestling ring. We review Alex Garland’s sophomore film, ‘Annihilation’ (Natalie Portman, Tessa Thompson, Oscar Isaac), and John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein’s ‘Game Night’ (Rachel McAdams, Jason Bateman, Kyle Chandler). Anthony laments the Bronze medal loss of Great Britain’s Women’s Curling team, we analyze the career of the delightfully magnificent Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Darren is still wearing the hat.

Ep 89: Black Panther & Party Feb 20, 2018

Darren’s got a new hat, Anthony’s curling allegiances get tested, and somewhere Fergie is still singing the Star-Spangled Banner. Reviews include, Ryan Coogler’s Marvel superhit, ‘Black Panther’ (Chadwick Boseman, Michael B. Jordan, Lupita Nyong’o, Daniel Kaluuya), and Sally Potter’s experimental joint, ‘Party’ (Patricia Clarkson, Timothy Spall, Kristin Scott Thomas, Cillian Murphy). Letitia Wright has our hearts, one of us abandons a movie, and we watch two people tongue-bang during happy hour.

Ep 88: George Michael: Freedom & The Square Feb 13, 2018

We come at you hot this week with two new movies in our pockets; Swedish best foreign picture nominee, ‘The Square’ (Claes Bang, Elizabeth Moss, Dominic West), and the Channel 4 documentary ‘George Michael: Freedom’ which can now be found on Showtime. We crush on the collective lung capacity of Great Britain’s women’s curling team, scold the music industry, and wish to buy CDs again. We love our Spotify overlords. Honestly, we do. They force us to.

Ep 87: A Fantastic Woman, Cloverfield Paradox & Mom and Dad Feb 06, 2018

This week, we talk the Super Bowl, the Justin Timberlake/Prince halftime show controversy, and the new Star Wars ‘Solo’ teaser. Movie reviews include ‘Mom and Dad’ (Nicolas Cage, Selma Blair, Lance Henriksen), Netflix’s surprise film ‘The Cloverfield Paradox’ (Gugu Mbtha-Raw, David Oyelowo, Chris O’Dowd, Daniel Bruhl) and Chile’s Oscar nominated ‘A Fantastic Woman’ (Daniela Vega, Francisco Reyes, Sebastian Lelio). We read an email, debate James Bond, but mostly get down to business.

Ep 86: Icarus, The Last Jedi re-vist & A Futile and Stupid Gesture Jan 30, 2018

It’s the inaugural broadcast from our urine-filled, post-nuclear bunker. For those of you that have survived the aftermath, or mutated beyond the Homo sapien species, we update our thoughts on Rian Johnson’s ‘The Last Jedi’. We also review two Netflix films, the sport doping documentary, ‘Icarus’ (Bryan Fogel, Grigory Rodchenkov, Dick Pound), and the National Lampoon semi-biopic, ‘A Futile and Stupid Gesture’ (Will Forte, Domhnall Gleeson, David Wain, Emmy Rossum). We question our normality, talk bird, and annoy the living hell out of each other. Please. It’s very important. Dick Pound is a real guy’s name.

Ep 85: Too Funny To Fail & Loving Vincent Jan 23, 2018

It’s a bit of a dry spell this week, but we still head to the banks of the river of film, and sift for them nuggets of gold. We talk the Hulu doc, ‘Too Funny to Fail: The Life & Death of the Dana Carvey Show’ (Steve Carell, Stephen Colbert, Robert Smigel), and the world’s first completely oil painted feature, ‘Loving Vincent’ (Douglas Booth, Chris O’Dowd, Saoirse Ronan). We shout ‘Deneuve’, get giddy over shark poop, and lose an ear for the second week in a row. Darren gets the tweet of a lifetime, and we add a little more to our review of ‘The Post’. From Vincent van Gogh, to holes that blow, we’re still, strictly, a movie podcast.

Ep 84: The Post, All The Money in the World & Film Stars Don't Die in Liverpool Jan 16, 2018

It’s an entire episode of biopics all set in the 1970's. Three, in fact! ‘Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool’ The Paul McGuigan biopic about old Hollywood film star Gloria Grahame and her relationship with a much younger actor (Annette Bening, Jamie Bell ,Julie Walters). Steven Spielberg’s ‘The Post’ (Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks) - about the famous ‘Pentagon Papers’ leak and the Washington Post’s brave decision to print at a time when freedom of speech and the role of the media was under threat by the White House. Sound familiar? Finally we check out ‘All the Money In The World’ (Michelle Williams, Mark Wahlberg, Christopher Plummer) - the Ridley Scott directed biopic about the kidnapping of 16 year old John Paul Getty III and the attempt to get his billionaire Grandfather to pay a ransom for his life. Plus, an infamous but banished Hollywood outcast tries to get some air time.

Ep 83: Molly's Game & Phantom Thread Jan 09, 2018

We’re back from break with two films by a couple of Hollywood’s biggest creators; Aaron Sorkin’s ‘Molly’s Game’ (Jessica Chastain, Kevin Costner, Michael Cera) and Paul Thomas Anderson’s ‘Phantom Thread (Daniel Day-Lewis, Vicky Krieps, Lesley Manville). We talk greatest PTA/Philip Seymour Hoffman breakdowns, the seemingly ruthless determination of winter olympians, and we both get involved in a traumatic movie going experience. Darren forces himself to focus on Anthony’s longwinded musings.

Ep 82: New Year New Body! Jan 02, 2018

Did you think we'd ignore you? Who do you think we are? We got you, fam! Here's a little tidbit of extra sauce for your brand-spankin' 2018. Thanks for an amazing year and here's to another year of amazing movies.

Ep 81: Best and Worst films of 2017 Dec 27, 2017

Our end of year special where we discuss our lists of top 10 favorite movies released in 2017, as well as honorable mentions and a few stinkers. From 'Ingrid Goes West' to 'The Justice League', From 'The Last Jedi' to 'I, Tonya' - we run the gamut of genres to select and discuss the films of 2017 that truly made an impact upon us, positive and negative. You might be surprised to find which movies made which lists!

Ep 80: Star Wars: The Last Jedi Dec 19, 2017

CONTAINS SPOILERS! There’s been a disturbance in the force. A new Star Wars movie is always a seismic event but neither Darren or Anthony expected this one to stir up the ground shaking divide of intense reaction Rian Johnson’s ‘The Last Jedi’ has. Unless you’ve been hiding under a (Dagobah) rock, you’re aware this installment, the 8th in the saga series, has challenged audiences and quite literally divided opinion. We both LOVED really liked and really didn’t like parts of this movie, and that’s OK. In this episode, we discuss why. Starring Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Kelly Marie Tran, Benicio del Toro, Laura Dern, Domnhall Gleeson, Andy Serkis, Ngô Thanh Vân and more.

Ep 79: I, Tonya & The Shape of Water Dec 12, 2017

This week, we get right down to business and butt heads over Guillermo del Toro's 'The Shape of Water' (Sally Hawkins, Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Octavia Spencer), rave about the Tonya Harding biopic, 'I, Tonya' (Margot Robbie, Sebastian Stan, Allison Janney), then segue into a conversation about being constantly connected to everything in the age of the Internet. Michael Stuhlbarg continues to deliver the goods, and Darren fends off 'The Last Jedi' spoilers. We attend a Q&A from a movie we may have mentioned called, 'Call Me By Your Name'.

Ep 78: The Disaster Artist, Mudbound & Call Me By Your Name Dec 05, 2017

This episode is jam-packed with almost as much movie talk as sexual innuendo. Anthony sees Dee Rees' new Netflix film, 'Mudbound' (Jason Clarke, Carey Mulligan, Mary J. Blidge, Jason Mitchell, Garrett Hedlund), and Darren sees another showing of 'Call Me By Your Name'. We also talk James Franco's 'The Disaster Artist' (Dave Franco, Alison Brie, Ari Graynor, Seth Rogen), and Darren sees 'Call Me By Your Name'. Plus Darren sees 'Call Me By Your Name' and 'Call Me By Your Name'. We love our stuffed animals, get ready for 'The Last Jedi', and drink a whole lot of caffeine. We watch 'Call Me By Your Name'. AGAIN. Teddy Bears are the new peaches.

Ep 77: Call Me By Your Name, Coco, Darkest Hour Nov 28, 2017

We're back from our respective Thanksgivings, and after we're done musing about family and food, we get down to business. Reviews include Pixar's 'Coco' (Gael Garcia Bernal, Benjamin Bratt, Anthony Gonzalez), 'Darkest Hour' (Gary Oldman, Ben Mendelsohn, Lily James), and Luca Guadagnino's adaptation of 'Call Me By Your Name' (Armie Hammer, Timothee Chalamet, Michael Stuhlbarg). 'Lady Bird' and 'In Bruges' are touched on, 'Frozen' gets shamed, and Darren's sultry tones read to you from a book. Snapple Facts return!

Ep 76: Justice League, Last Flag Flying, Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond Nov 21, 2017

We recount drunken nights, Mario Batali's cannoli, and a new way to let people know you're interested. Movie reviews include Zack Snyder/partially Joss Whedon's 'Justice League' (Ben Affleck, Gal Gadot, Amy Adams, Ezra Miller), Richard Linklater's 'Last Flag Flying' (Steve Carell, Bryan Cranston, Laurence Fishburne), and the Netflix documentary, 'Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond' (Jim Carrey, Andy Kaufman, Danny DeVito). Charles Manson's dead, but one of us eats ice cream cake with just his face, so consider the crazy-void filled. Public Service Announcement: Know which side of the shot glass you're drinking from.

Ep 75: Three Billboards, Murder on the Orient Express & My Friend Dahmer Nov 14, 2017

Darren flies straight in from Mexico just in time for this week's round of reviews. Movies include Martin McDonagh's 'Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri' (Frances McDormand, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell), Kenneth Branagh's 'Murder on the Orient Express' (Judy Dench, Johnny Depp, Michelle Pfeiffer, Willem Dafoe), and 'My Friend Dahmer' (Ross Lynch, Anne Heche, Vincent Kartheiser). We talk about the intimacy of borrowing cellphones, Darren fends off an aggressive wedding dancer, and Anthony has a series of complicated run-ins with a neighbor. We ponder Jeffery Dahmer's ideal menu.

Ep 74: Thor: Ragnarok & Lady Bird Nov 07, 2017

Darren leaves for college, Anthony takes an uncomfortable shower, and we dive straight into two movies; Taika Waititi's hilariously epic 'Thor: Ragnarok' (Chris Hemsworth, Cate Blanchett, Tom Hiddleston, Mark Ruffalo), and Greta Gerwig's second directorial feature, 'Lady Bird' (Saoirse Ronan, Laurie Metcalf, Lucas Hedges). Jeff Goldblum rockets through the Goldblum ceiling. Both of us get a little homesick. Plus, we finish our thoughts on the newest season of 'Stranger Things'.

Ep 73: Jigsaw, Suburbicon, Stranger Things 2 & Brawl in Cell Block 99 Oct 31, 2017

As darkness falls across the land on this fair All Hallows' Eve, we fall directly into your ear pits. Reviews include the #1 movie in the country, the newest 'Saw' installment, 'Jigsaw' (Tobin Bell, Matt Passmore, Hannah Emily Anderson), and George Clooney's latest directorial effort, 'Suburbicon' (Matt Damon, Julianne Moore, Oscar Isaac). We scare you with our horrifying tales of blood pudding, and water bottles. Darren whoops it up at a Halloween party at the Jackson's house on the weekend, and Anthony really doesn't ruin 'Stranger Things', probably. We also chat about the new re-release of 'Little Shop of Horrors', and Vince Vaughn's new film, "Brawl in Cell Block 99". How do you achieve the desired consistency of your bowel movements?

Ep 72: The Killing Of A Sacred Deer Oct 24, 2017

It's a one movie kind of week! And that movie is Yorgos Lanthimos' follow up to 'The Lobster', 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' (Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman, Barry Keoghan). We rave about Alicia Silverstone's performance, add a new entry to the list of Cinema's Most Uncomfortable Handjobs, and one of us reveals a never before heard secret. Darren pitches his idea for Hollywood's newest celebrity installation, and Anthony talks to his log at the new Double R Diner in Los Angeles. Finally, we give some love to Netflix's new comedy special, 'Patton Oswalt: Annihilation'.

Ep 71: Happy Death Day, Spielberg & The Meyerowitz Stories Oct 17, 2017

Amidst a sea of emotion, we bring you the reviews of three movies: Noah Baumbach's frustratingly titled film, 'The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)' starring Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler and Dustin Hoffman, HBO's aptly titled Steven Spielberg documentary, 'Spielberg' (Brian De Palma, Kathleen Kennedy, George Lucas), and the just...simply titled horror/comedy, 'Happy Death Day' (Jessica Rothe, Ruby Modine, Israel Broussard). Baseball heartbreak, dolphin drama, and the world's longest pee take center stage.

Ep 70: Blade Runner 2049, The Last Jedi, The Florida Project Oct 10, 2017

We speak to you amidst the dropping of the 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi' trailer, and its subsequent ticket sale frenzy. Still, we review two films, 'The Florida Project' (Willem Dafoe, Brooklynn Prince, Bria Vinaite), and Denis Villeneuve's sci-fi epic, 'Blade Runner 2049' (Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas, Jared Leto). After a week of reflection, we talk about the passing of Tom Petty, and recommend Peter Bogdanavich's biopic, 'Running Down a Dream'; which can be found on Netflix. Anthony wants to be where the prostitutes and cops are, and Darren continues to fight disease.

Ep 69: American Made, Victoria and Abdul & Lucky Oct 03, 2017

One of us is sick, and the other one is working on it. Heal us with your ears! We review Harry Dean Stanton's posthumous film, 'Lucky' (David Lynch, Ron Livingston, John Carroll Lynch), Stephen Frears' Queen Victoria biopic, 'Victoria and Abdul' (Judi Dench, Ali Fazal, Eddie Izzard), and Doug Liman's 'American Made' (Tom Cruise, Domhnall Gleeson, Sarah Wright). Anthony escapes a mechanical arm, Darren won't rehearse just anywhere, and we talk Tom Petty.

Ep 68: Kingsman, Ga Ga, Brad's Status & Battle Of The Sexes Sep 26, 2017

This X-tended episode is jam packed with four phat films. Including, writer/director Mike White's latest, 'Brad's Status' (Ben Stiller, Austin Abrams, Michael Sheen), Lady Gaga's Netflix doc, 'Gaga: Five Foot Two' (directed by Chris Moukarbel), the Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs biopic, 'Battle of the Sexes' (Emma Stone, Steve Carell, Bill Pullman), and 'Kingsman: The Golden Circle' (Taron Egerton, Colin Firth, Julianne Moore). We hit some balls, suck up airtime, and try to please you. We talk the monster that is fame, and get in touch with ASMR.

Ep 67: Mother! and Columbus Sep 19, 2017

This week in SPOILERS, we review 'Mother!' No, not your mother, Darren Aronofsky's 'Mother!' (Jennifer Lawrence, Javier Bardem, Michelle Pfeiffer, Ed Harris). And yes we give a good chunk of the film away, so see the movie first, or play fast and loose with your SPOILER ALERT. We also see film essayist, and first time, feature filmmaker Kogonada's love letter to modern architecture, 'Columbus' (John Cho, Haley Lu Richardson, Parker Posey). Plus, Anthony completely blows a film recreation, and Darren expels all of his social energy. We talk Facebook unfriending, and say goodbye to Harry Dean Stanton.

Ep 66: IT, I Do Until I Don't, The Goodbye Girl & More Sep 12, 2017

Darren review's the latest, increasingly popular adaptation of Stephen King's 'IT' (Bill Skarsgard, Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Sophia Lillis), and Anthony tackles Lake Bell's new feature, 'I Do...Until I Don't' (Ed Helms, Paul Reiser, Mary Steenburgen, Amber Heard). We Bruce Springsteen-ify some adult contemporary hits, rave about Dolly Wells, gush over the studly Richard Dreyfuss and his Oscar winning role in Neil Simon's 'The Goodbye Girl' and talk about our own personal Pennywises. John Wayne Gacy wins. At the top of the show, 'Ingrid Goes West' gets a little more love and we take a look back at teen Jodie Foster's controversial thriller, 'The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane'.

Ep 65: Close Encounters, Good Time, The Trip To Spain & Twin Peaks Finale Sep 05, 2017

Hydrogen bombs fall, Los Angeles burns, and we talk about movies; including the Safdie brothers' indie crime thriller, 'Good Time' (Robert Pattinson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Barkhad Abdi), Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon's improv heavy 'Trip to Spain', and the 40th Anniversary release of 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' (Richard Dryefuss, Teri Garr, Francois Truffaut, Melinda Dillon). Standup looks good on Darren, Anthony gets uncomfortable to the point of paranoia, and we find out where dreams come from. David Lynch delivers the Twin Peaks finale, and we're all about it.

Ep 64: Twin Peaks, Ingrid Goes West & Dave Made A Maze Aug 29, 2017

This week, we talk excess in the age of the Internet, add a little something special to a Lady Gaga classic, and graduate to becoming full fledged hypocrites. Like us please! We review the art comedies Ingrid Goes West (Aubrey Plaza, Elizabeth Olsen, Wyatt Russell), and Dave Made a Maze (Nick Thune, Meera Rohit Kumbhani, Adam Busch). SPOILER ALERT! We delve into the most recent Twin Peaks episode, and share our thoughts on the series as it starts to wrap up. Taylor Swift and Katy Perry's most recent music videos can get the heck out of here. Plus there's some Groundhog Day remembrance and Rick and Morty gushing.

Ep 63: Logan Lucky & Annabelle : Creation Aug 22, 2017

Darren dishes on his problematic Palm Springs getaway. Anthony gets mistaken for Jon Snow more than once, and we scat about scat. We review Steven Soderbergh's return to the big screen, 'Logan Lucky' (Channing Tatum, Adam Driver, Riley Keough, Daniel Craig), and the newest installment of 'The Conjuring' franchise, 'Annabelle: Creation' (Anthony LapPaglia, Miranda Otto, Talitha Eliana Bateman). We crush on Jack Antonoff, meet the best bartender in the Bay Area, and an old ghostly favorite briefly graces us with his presence. As Donald Trump continues to stare into the sun, we talk about bad purchases. Do you know who Rebecca Blunt is? We sure don't. Someone please tell us!

Ep 62: Wind River & An Inconvenient Sequel Aug 15, 2017

This week, our plans for a shortened show go haywire. We review the new Taylor Sheriden film, 'Wind River' (Jeremy Renner, Elizabeth Olsen, Jon Bernthal, Gil Birmingham), and Al Gore's important, yet inconveniently titled documentary, 'An Inconvenient Sequel: Truth to Power'. Darren prepares for his Palm Springs work-cation, Anthony has car trouble, and Katy Perry does how we do. We give you a peek behind the 'We Paid to See This' curtain, and describe the Lady Gaga show we haven't seen yet.

Ep 61: The Dark Tower, Landline & Rick and Morty Aug 09, 2017

Trump's on Twitter, the world is ending, and we review the Stephen King adaption, 'The Dark Tower' (Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, Jackie Earle Haley), plus the indie comedy, 'Landline' (Jenny Slate, Jay Duplass, Edie Falco, John Turturro). 'Twin Peaks', and 'Rick and Morty' are also discussed. Anthony has a urinary crisis. Darren turns the corner on Idris Elba. We call for the end of Twitter, unless you're tweeting us.

Ep 60: Detroit, Atomic Blonde & Brigsby Bear Aug 01, 2017

Anthony's flight gets delayed, Darren gets vaped on at the movies, and we give some of our crankiest reviews of all time; including, 'Atomic Blonde' (Charlize Theron, James McAvoy, John Goodman), and 'Brigsby Bear' (Kyle Mooney, Mark Hamill, Claire Danes). Kathryn Bigelow's 'Detroit' (John Boyega, John Krasinski, Anthony Mackie, Algee Smith) is also discussed. Darren also doles out some love to HBO's 'The Defiant Ones' and we cut all our hair off, live in the studio. Just kidding. I just wrote that to see if anyone reads episode descriptions.

Ep 59: Dunkirk, Valerian, Lady Macbeth & To The Bone Jul 25, 2017

Anthony reviews Luc Besson's ambitious epic, 'Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets' (Cara Delevingne, Dane DeHaan, Clive Owen, Rihanna), Darren falls in love during 'Lady Macbeth' (Florence Pugh, Cosmo Jarvis), and we rave about Christopher Nolan's 'Dunkirk' (Cillian Murphy, Mark Rylance, Tom Hardy, Harry Styles). Both of us are in ongoing battles with our neighbors, and one of us might possibly be paranoid. Oh and by the way we're totally wrong about Luc Besson directing an Alien film. Whoops. Netflix’s ‘To The Bone’ (Lily Collins, Keanu Reeves) is also discussed.

Ep 58: War For the Planet of the Apes, City of Ghosts & More! Jul 18, 2017

This week, we've got it all. We talk 'Twin Peaks', global warming, the state of politics, Ed Sheeran and the season 7 premiere of 'Game of Thrones', more thoughts on 'Baby Driver', horrifyingly gruesome facts about the praying mantis, and of course, Netflix's GLOW. We review Matthew Heinemann's Syrian journalist documentary, 'City of Ghosts', and Matt Reeves' 'War For the Planet of Apes' (Andy Serkis, Woody Harrelson, Steve Zahn, Toby Kebbell, and Judy Greer).

Ep 57: A Ghost Story, Spiderman Homecoming & GLOW Jul 11, 2017

This week, we review David Lowery's latest film, 'A Ghost Story' (Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck), and reclaimed, Marvel juggernaut, 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' (Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Robert Downey Jr., and Marisa Tomei). Anthony survives a blackout, Darren tries to sell the show to the folks at the local coffee shop, and we slowly poison ourselves with microwaved wax. We also dish briefly about the documentary, 'GLOW: The Story of the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling', which you can watch now on Netflix.

Ep 56: Baby Driver, Okja, The House & The Little Hours Jul 04, 2017

Darren drives and Anthony comes in shell-shocked from the road. Edgar Wright's 'Baby Driver' (Ansel Elgort, Kevin Spacey, Jon Hamm, Jamie Foxx) promises a damn good time, and gives Anthony a hint of anxiety. Darren champions 'The House' (Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, Jason Mantzoukas). Netflix's Okja (Tilda Swinton, Paul Dano, Jake Gyllenhaal) directed by Bong Joon-ho, and repressed nun comedy, 'The Little Hours' (Alison Brie, Aubrey Plaza, Kate Micucci, Dave Franco) are also reviewed. One of us can never go back to Barnes & Noble.

Ep 55: The Beguiled, Rough Night & The Big Sick Jun 27, 2017

Darren falls out of love with a hairless Whole Foods employee, Anthony walks away unsatisfied from a traffic altercation, and a dog runs loose in Peets. Plus, we review some movies! Including the comedies, 'Rough Night' (Scarlett Johansson, Kate McKinnon, Zoe Kravitz), and Judd Apatow and Michael Showalter's 'The Big Sick' (Ray Romano, Zoe Kazan, Holly Hunter) written by Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon. Finally, we get titillated by Sofia Coppola's American gothic, 'The Beguiled' (Nicole Kidman, Kirsten Dunst, Elle Fanning, and Colin Farrell).

Ep 54: E.T, Beatriz at Dinner & Once Upon A Time in Venice Jun 20, 2017

We talk about the experience of seeing of an original 1982 print of Steven Spielberg's masterpiece, 'E.T.' on Father's Day in Hollywood. Anthony reviews the Bruce Wills, John Goodman action/comedy, 'Once Upon a Time In Venice'. We update you on the possible origins of Catholic church wine. Finally, we discuss 'Beatriz at Dinner', starring Salma Hayek, John Lithgow and Connie Britton; written by Mike White. Your emails are read and we regret talking about male celebrity anatomy.

Ep 53: The Mummy, It Comes At Night & My Cousin Rachel Jun 13, 2017

This week's episode opens with Darren's battle with a twitter porn-bot, tales from Anthony's L.A baseball game adventure, some celebrity sightings and a heartfelt discussion of Catholicism (not really heartfelt if we're honest). Anthony stumbles through his review of the Rachel Weisz mystery 'My Cousin Rachel'. Darren gives the Tom Cruise big budget Universal Monster themed 'The Mummy' a fighting chance. We make some fairly satisfactory mummy puns before Anthony raves about the Joel Edgerton psychological thriller 'It Comes at Night'.

Ep 52: Wonder Woman (and more!) Jun 06, 2017

Darren shares his frustrating experience with a courier service. Anthony spends a week in Las Vegas. We eventually talk about the blockbusting, weekend smash 'Wonder Woman', directed by Patty Jenkins, and staring Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Robin Wright and David Thewlis. Plus, Anthony reviews Zoe Lister-Jones' indie comedy, 'Band Aid' (Adam Pally, Fred Armisen). It's our 52nd episode. That means we've been doing this for a year, and so have you!

Ep 51: Pirates 'Dead Men Tell No Tales' & Alien: Covenant May 30, 2017

Straight from the theater and into the microphone, we deliver our review of Johnny Depp's latest flick, 'Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales'. We tread on heavily treaded territory by asking the question, "who's the best Beatle?" Finally, we go on a Doppelbender, and review 'Alien: Covenant' (Katherine Waterson, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride), a movie one of us might describe as the Paul McCartney of Alien movies.

Ep 50: Twin Peaks: The Return May 23, 2017

'Twin Peaks: The Return' - 25 years after the iconic series ended, it's back, so we sit down to talk about the new series' first four episodes, Special Agent Dale Cooper, and the mastermind himself, David Lynch. Some mild spoilers from the original series inside! But first, Darren murders slugs, Anthony finagles an extra drink and we brag about our VIP experience during U2's first night at The Rose Bowl, on their 2017 The Joshua Tree Tour.

Ep 49: Snatched, The Lovers & Goldie Hawn May 17, 2017

On this week's show, we cover blood pressure, liver spots, and ask the very important question - Where has Debra Winger been? Darren checks out during a review of 'The Lovers', but swears it's not Anthony's fault. The show redeems itself with a review of 'Snatched' (Amy Schumer, Goldie Hawn). A vocal impressionist is born and Darren brings us all down with his reflections on a documentary called ‘Homeless: The Motel Kids Of Orange County'. If you were waiting to commit to the show, this is the best episode we’ve ever recorded. Ever.

Ep 48: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, Chuck & More! May 08, 2017

Right out of the gate, the guys dive head first into James Gunn's 'Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2' (Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Kurt Russell, Bradley Cooper). Anthony reviews the new Liev Schreiber movie 'Chuck', and Darren shares his thoughts on the HBO documentary, 'Heidi Fleiss: The Would-Be Madam of Crystal'. The men then equate The Real Housewives of New York to a very bad addiction to something that rhymes with sack, knack and smack!

Ep 47: The Fate Of The Furious, The Last Magnificent May 03, 2017

The guys talk food and inspiration during their review of the documentary, Jeremiah Tower: The Last Magnificent. Other topics discussed include, the Pixies, the price of cable television and the appropriate way to wipe, if you're a lady. Anthony has a transformative experience at The Fate of the Furious, and Darren can't take it. Jonathan Demme's passing is discussed. Confessions are confessed.

Ep 46: Freefire, The Transfiguration & American Pastoral Apr 25, 2017

Thank god Darren and Anthony had interesting (aka challenging) weeks to talk about because this week's film releases were slim pickings. We manage to make it interesting though. There's the new indie vampire film 'Transfiguration' - the terribly average Ewan McGregor, Jennifer Connelly and a grown-up Dakota Fanning period piece 'American Pastoral' and the shoot-em-up 70's action comedy 'Freefire'. Come for the films, stay for the stories of arguments in the immigration line at LAX.

Ep 45: Take The Lord's Name in Vain Apr 18, 2017

Uh-oh. We're in trouble. Something's come along and it burst our bubble!

Ep 44: Colossal - Anne Hathaway, Dan Stevens & Jason Sudeikis Apr 11, 2017

There's a wonderful and unique new comedy sci-fi film called 'Colossal' starring Anne Hathaway, Jason Sudeikis, Dan Stevens and directed by Nacho Vigalondo that you gotta see! And if you don't believe us, listen to this episode. We also get in to the trials and tribulations of seeing indie movies at the 'old folks home' as we sometimes affectionately refer to our local theatre. This episode is huge, some might even say 'Colossal'! See what we did there!? Dad jokes are us!

Ep 43: Ghost in the Shell, Five Came Back, Road Rage Apr 05, 2017

Darren opens the show talking about bathroom business, Anthony breaks down his recent DNA discoveries, and the guys take a crack at 'Ghost in the Shell'. Anthony sneaks a surprise movie in, then brings up the new Netflix docuseries, 'Five Came Back'. They end the show talking about the upcoming Alien installment. There's also an exploration of anger management and road rage!

Ep 42: Life, Wilson & Train To Busan Mar 29, 2017

Darren just got back from watching the Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Reynolds space flick, 'Life'. He shares his 'fresh' take. Anthony talks about his Vegas heist...umm...vacation, then reviews Woody Harrelson's newest movie, 'Wilson', also starring Laura Dern and Judy Greer. Darren watches 'Beware the Slenderman' on HBO Go, and Anthony gets charmed by 'Train to Busan', now on Netflix. The guys experience a technical boo boo but overcome it triumphantly in what critics are describing as their best episode yet!

Ep 41: Beauty & The Beast, T2 Trainspotting, Personal Shopper & More! Mar 22, 2017

At the top of the show, Anthony takes a crack at convincing Darren that he enjoyed the Trainspotting sequel. Darren's not convinced. Anthony shares a zen personal victory over texting in the movies (not him, some other loser!) This somehow leads to a chat about 'Personal Shopper', the new Kristen Stewart ghost story movie. Both men get their pants charmed off by Disney's live action remake of 'Beauty and the Beast'. Darren sees 'The Eagles of Death Metal: Not Amis' documentary on HBO, then talks a ghost story of his own. Spooky!

Ep 40: Kong: Skull Island, Raw & More! Mar 15, 2017

Darren and Anthony see the blockbusting smash hit 'Kong: Skull Island', starring Brie Larson, John Goodman, Samuel L. Jackson, John C. Riley, and Tom Hiddleston, then wish they didn't. Anthony shares a traumatic dining experience, and the boys take a short break to get the scoop on Donald Trump's tax returns. Anthony talks Julia Ducournau's first feature film, 'Raw'. Limbo is discussed. WE'RE FORTY EPISODES OLD!!

Ep 39: Logan, Thank God for Jokes, Other People Mar 08, 2017

We talk 'Logan' - the gritty (and extremely popular) Hugh Jackman 'Wolverine' movie that folks are comparing to the Christopher Nolan 'Batman Begins' level of superhero flicks. Comedian, writer and actor Mike Birbiglia has a fantastic new stand-up special, 'Thank God For Jokes' on streaming services plus we saw the Chris Kelly picture, 'Other People' starring Molly Shannon, Maude Apatow, Jesse Plemons and Bradley Whitford. We also check out the Melanie Lynskey and Elijah Wood dark comedic thriller 'I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore'. Mostly we talk about what happened when Anthony went to vote and why Darren ate donuts at 4am.

Ep 38: Get Out, Oscars 2017, The Salesman Mar 01, 2017

There's a fantastic new horror film in town and it's not what you think. 'Get Out' is funny, scary and full of social commentary. Written and directed by Jordan Peele (of comedy duo 'Key and Peele' fame) it's a film that manages to be scary and hilarious without ever being trashy. We tear open the wrong envelope that was Oscars 2017 and we discuss Iranian best winning foreign film 'The Salesman'. Mostly we just argue over whether 11 am is considered 'the early afternoon' or not (it isn't).

Ep 37: Fist Fight, XX, The Handmaiden, & Howl Feb 22, 2017

We saw 4 films and one of them was dreadful. Can you guess which one it might be? We saw the Charlie Day / Ice Cube comedy 'Fist Fight' with hilarious Jillian Bell and Christina Hendricks. Anthony saw the South Korean period thriller 'The Handmaiden'. Darren stumbled upon a 2015 British horror film 'Howl' and we saw the anthology horror film, directed by all women, called 'XX'. Plus we talk Star Wars The Last Jedi and we rip on some pop music we loathe. Yay!

Ep 36: Lego Batman & John Wick Chapter 2! Feb 15, 2017

We saw the two biggest films at the US box office this week and we tear 'em apart like chicken wings. DELICIOUS CHICKEN WINGS THAT IS! Hear our thoughts and possibly some rants about The Grammy Awards and some terrible jokes!

Ep 35: Rings, Live By Night, Hacksaw Ridge Feb 08, 2017

We tortured ourselves to see the 'sequel' (re-boot) of the horror franchise 'The Ring' titled, imaginatively, 'Rings'. We surprisingly enjoyed Ben Affleck's new Boston prohibition era gangster film 'Live by Night' and we finally talk the last best picture nomination, the Mel Gibson war epic 'Hacksaw Ridge'. Plus there's talk of doodles, how to remember to spell your name and the Lady Ga Ga performance at the Super Bowl!

Ep 34: Split, The Founder & The Red Turtle Feb 01, 2017

We talk M Night Shyamalan's latest thriller 'Split' starring James McAvoy, Anya Taylor-Joy and Haley Lu Richardson, the Studio Ghibli produced animated film 'The Red Turtle' and the Michael Keaton film 'Founder' about the struggle over the ownership of America's favorite fast food chain. We might also have talked about how to handle long road trips with no toilets to be found, but you'll have to listen to find out!

Ep 33: Oscar Nominations 2017 Jan 25, 2017

It's the day of the 2017 Oscar nominations and we've got a thing or two to say about it. Listen to our thoughts on who we THINK will win, who we WANT to win and who was SNUBBED. Plus, Anthony has a terrific cold and Darren is so paranoid about catching it, he's wearing a surgical mask. Check it! Also please make sure you wash your hands after this episode. You never know.

Ep 32: A Monster Calls, Fences, 20th Century Women Jan 18, 2017

Three big films this episode. First up the Felicity Jones fantasy adventure / realist film 'A Monster Calls' based on the children's book of the same name about a boy who uses his art and imagination to avoid the sadness of his Mother's terminal illness (don't worry we manage to make it somewhat funny). We discuss the Denzel Washington / Viola Davis film 'Fences' and the Annette Bening / Elle Fanning / Greta Gerwig / Billy Crudup coming of age story '20th Century Women'. That, and we talk road rage. It's one for the ages!

Ep 31: Bright Lights, Silence, Paterson & Golden Globes Jan 10, 2017

We discuss ‘Bright Lights’ - the HBO documentary about the extraordinary relationship between the late Carrie Fisher and her Mother Debbie Reynolds. It's a fascinating watch and we tell you why. There are two Adam Driver films. The first, a Martin Scorsese film ’Silence’ - starring Andrew Garfield, Adam Driver, Liam Neeson, Tadanobu Asano & Ciaran Hinds - about two 17th century Jesuit priests who travel from Portugal to Japan in order to locate their missing mentor and spread Catholicism. We also talk indie Jim Jarmusch film ‘Paterson’ starring Driver and Golshifteh Farahani about a poetic bus driver (you’ll have to listen to get the gist!). We also digest the 2017 Golden Globe Awards and suggest new ways to send us feedback (that we probably don’t want come to think of it!)

Ep 30: Passengers, Postcards From the Edge, Captain Fantastic Jan 03, 2017

We talk Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence sci-fi 'Passengers' - we revisit the classic Carrie Fisher penned 'Postcards from the Edge' and discuss Viggo Mortensen film 'Captain Fantastic' - plus much more (than you probably ever wanted to know!)

Ep 29: Bonus (What!!?) Dec 28, 2016

Cheeky little bonus episode so you don't forget about us!

Ep 28: Rogue One : A Star Wars Story (INCLUDES SPOILERS!) Dec 21, 2016

Entire episode dedicated to the Star Wars film 'Rogue One' - directed by Gareth Edwards and starring Felicity Jones, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelssohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, Alan Tudyk, Riz Ahmed, Jiang Wen and Forest Whitaker. This is a must listen if you've seen the film and want to break it down for better or for worse. Find out what we loved and what we didn't - and get some interesting back story in to the origin of the story and thoughts on the reasons for such extensive re-shooting and the differences between the theatrical trailer and what ended up on the screen. 'The Force is strong and I am one with The Force!' WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS IN THIS EPISODE! DO NOT LISTEN UNTIL YOU'VE SEEN THE FILM.

Ep 27: La La Land, Manchester By The Sea, Office X-Mas Party & The Eyes of my Mother Dec 14, 2016

This week's show is pretty much the two of us bowing down and kissing the feet of the incredible Ryan Gosling / Emma Stone musical 'La La Land'. Find out what sets it apart from other musicals and why you need to see it in a theatre. We talk Casey Affleck / Michelle Williams drama 'Manchester By The Sea', the ensemble comedy holiday movie 'Office X-Mas Party' starring T.J Miller, Jason Bateman, Jennifer Anniston and the hilarious Kate McKinnon. Plus we mention dark thriller 'The Eyes of my Mother'.

Ep 26: Jackie, Nocturnal Animals, Edge of 17, Fantastic Beasts & WestWorld Dec 06, 2016

Huge episode covering the Natalie Portman vehicle about former First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in a chilling biopic 'Jackie' which examines her strength in the aftermath of the tragic assassination of JFK. We discuss the new Tom Ford psychological thriller 'Nocturnal Animals' staring Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal - the emotional teen angst of 'Edge of Seventeen' and the Harry Potter spin-off 'Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them'. Plus we talk about HBO's 'WestWorld' (includes spoilers but the segment is at the end of the show and there is fair warning to switch off if you haven't seen the show yet!).

Ep 25: Graceland Nov 30, 2016

Help! Darren's in Graceland and Anthony is somewhere in Northern California - but they still found the time to record a little something something.

Ep 24: We're thankful Nov 26, 2016

We're in Hawaii and or Sacramento but we still recorded this little episode just to say thanks. There's easter eggs (we think) - enjoy and see you in another week!

Ep 23: Arrival, The Love Witch & Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk Nov 15, 2016

We rave about the new science fiction film 'Arrival' starring Amy Adams, Jeremy Renner and Forest Whitaker - directed by Denis Villeneuve. We gush over indie horror 60's noir / Hitchcock homage 'The Love Witch' starring Samantha Robinson - written and directed by Anna Biller. Hear our thoughts on Ang Lee's new 'experimental' 3D film 'Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk' and our experience seeing classic 'The Birds' with Hollywood legend Tippie Hedron in attendance!

Ep 22: Doctor Strange, Loving, Moonlight & Gimme Danger Nov 08, 2016

We talk Marvel blockbuster 'Doctor Strange' - starring Benedict Cumberbatch, Tilda Swinton, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams and Mads Mikkelsen. We discuss 'Loving' - the civil rights biopic directed by Jeff Nichols about the 1958 interracial couple Richard and Mildred Loving who were arrested for marrying 'illegally' - which stars Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga. We also touch on 'Moonlight' - the Barry Jenkins film about a young man dealing with his dysfunctional home life in Miami during the "War on Drugs" era. Plus the Jim Jarmusch directed documentary about Iggy Pop called 'Gimme Danger'.

Ep 21: Christine Nov 01, 2016

We talk about the incredible new film 'Christine' - based on the true story of Christine Chubbuck - a TV news reporter from Florida who committed suicide live on television in 1974. It's a a tragic story of a woman who was battling depression and anxiety and working in a field that she felt was demanding her to produce sensationalist shock stories rather than news. Starring Rebecca Hall, Michael C. Hall, Tracy Letts, Maria Dizzia and directed by Antonio Campos.

Ep 20: Jack Reacher 2, The Accountant and We Are X Oct 26, 2016

Bumper of an episode! We talk new Ben Affleck action flick 'The Accountant' and Tom Cruise vehicle 'Jack Reacher - Never Go Back'. Anthony saw a pretty cool documentary about a Japanese heavy metal band 'We are X' and we talk the HBO Sci-Fi series 'Westworld' and some of our favorite horror films EVER! Plus we were both in foul moods until the show started but just doing the show made us both happy.. so yay! P.S sorry it's late ;)

Ep 19: Man Vs Snake, Godzilla Resurgence & Castle in the Sky Oct 19, 2016

Anthony's had too much caffeine, Darren is too controlling and there's a new Godzilla film. We talk about the Netflix documentary 'Man Vs Snake', the new Japanese pop trash 'Godzilla: Resurgence', the anime classic 'Castle in the Sky' plus lots of horror movie favorites. It's the episode where the Wings vs Beatles vs John Lennon argument gets aired in all its filthy glory. Who shall win this battle? You'll just have to listen.

Ep 18: The Girl On The Train, American Honey & Amanda Knox Oct 12, 2016

If you liked 'Gone Girl' you'll be interested to hear our take on the similarities and differences between it and 'The Girl On The Train' starring Emily Blunt. The film is a mystery thriller directed by Tate Taylor ('The Help') co-starring Justin Theroux, Rebecca Ferguson, Hayley Bennett Luke Evans and Alison Janney - who, let's face it, makes any film better simply by appearing in it. We also talk about the documentary 'Amanda Knox' - an American woman who spent almost four years in an Italian prison following her conviction of the 2007 murder of her roommate Meredith Kercher. Amanda was ultimately exonerated - but the journey between the horrible event and her eventual release is still full of controversy. Finally we discuss the new Shia LaBeouf indie flick 'American Honey' directed by Andrea Arnold (Fish Tank).

Ep 17: Masterminds, Chicken People & Text drama Oct 04, 2016

We saw the Jarred Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) directed comedy 'Masterminds' starring Kristin Wiig, Zack Galifianakis, Jason Sedeikis, Owen Wilson and Kate Mckinnon - plus a documentary called 'Chicken People' (yes really). Perhaps the most entertaining part of the show is when Anthony and Darren read and re-enact the text conversation they had deciding on which movie to see, and where. It's.. dramatic.

Ep 16: The Magnificent Seven, Trump vs Hillary & Operation Avalanche Sep 27, 2016

We paid to see 'The Magnificent Seven' starring Denzel Washington, Haley Bennet, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Byung-hun Lee, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and more! Plus Anthony went to see Garbage in San Francisco, Darren got way too invested in the first Presidential debates and wore inappropriate clothing for a grown man. We also talk indie conspiracy theory film 'Operation Avalanche' and upcoming films we're down to see. For an episode, it's a blast! (Well, it's perfectly ok)

Ep 15: The JT LeRoy Story, Brother Nature & White Girl Sep 20, 2016

Recorded at midnight - with the assistance of coffee and whiskey (not together, separately) we talk about the crazy documentary 'Author: The JT LeRoy Story' directed by Jeff Feuerzeig - the new Taran Killam comedy 'Brother Nature' and the indie weirdo flick 'White Girl' directed by Elizabeth Wood. It's a wild and varied one sponsored by exhaustion. Enjoy!

Ep 14: Kubo & the Two Strings, Sully & More! Sep 13, 2016

Darren got terrible service at a fancy restaurant, Anthony does a pitch perfect imitation of Tom Petty, we review stop motion animation film 'Kubo and the Two Strings' and the Clint Eastwood directed 'Sully' starring Tom Hanks. It's a perfectly acceptable episode. If you're looking for the show with the least qualified and most unprofessional opinions of films, this is it!

Ep 13: Don't Breathe, The Godfather, Werner Herzog & In Order of Disappearance Sep 06, 2016

We finally see the number one horror movie of the moment - 'Don't Breathe'. Darren is the last person on earth to finally see the Coppola classic 'The Godfather' (spoiler: he liked it!) and Anthony takes himself very seriously by seeing two arty films. A new tech documentary by Werner Herzod and a Norwegian dark revenge comedy about a 'mild-mannered snowplow driver (Stellan Skarsgård) who seeks revenge for the murder of his son. Plus we discuss Anthony's obsession with the 'sport' of golfing and Darren's refreshing beverage of the day. It's - a podcast?

Ep 12: Gene Wilder, Hell Or High Water, The Princess Bride & Mia Madre Aug 30, 2016

We woke up to the sad news of the passing of comedy legend Gene Wilder so we speak in depth about his impact on cinema and us. Anthony saw the Chris Pine / Jeff Bridges modern western 'Hell Or High Water', we both saw an outdoor screening of 'The Princess Bride' and we discuss the indie film 'Mia Madre' starring John Turtorro (who Darren knew nothing about until he wrote this update! Now he gets it!). We also discuss Britney at the VMAs, ancient reality show 'Shear Genius' and DNA testing. We know, it's obscure. That's why you love us.

Ep 11: War Dogs, Sausage Party & More! Aug 23, 2016

We talk about the Todd Phillips comedic tinged gun running biopic 'War Dogs' starring Jonah Hill and Miles Teller - and the R rated animation flick 'Sausage Party' starring Seth Rogan and a host more. Plus - we visited the Guillermo del Toro exhibition at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art (oooh fancy!)

Ep 10: Suicide Squad, Jason Bourne, Cafe Society, Florence Foster Jenkins & Darling Aug 16, 2016

We saw a LOT of movies! Suicide Squad, Jason Bourne, Cafe Society, Florence Foster Jenkins & the horror movie, Darling. We say we saw a lot of films - but we did it separately! Anthony was away at the Outside Lands music festival and Darren was losing his Tom Ford glasses in theaters and in this episode they reunite to discuss the films they saw.

Ep 9: Stranger Things Aug 09, 2016

An entire episode dedicated to the awesome Netflix Original series 'Stranger Things'. Contains *mild* spoilers so if you haven't seen the entire series - maybe wait to listen to this podcast about the GREATEST TV SHOW TO HAPPEN SINCE TV WAS INVENTED!! Created and Directed by The Duffer Brothers and starring the incredible David Harbour, Winona Ryder, Charlie Heaton, Millie Brown, Natalia Dyer, Matthew Modine, Noah Schnapp, Shannon Purser, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Finn Wolfhard, Joe Keery, Rob Morgan, John Reynolds, and more!

Ep 7: The 'best' movies of 2016 so far! Jul 26, 2016

We discuss and debate films on a list of the '20 Best Movies of 2016 So Far' by tasteofcinema dot com and give our own 'expert' (read, 'arrogant') opinions. Will Anthony ever post an image to social media? Will Darren ever let go of how much he hated 'Weinerdog'? Find out!

Ep 6: Strike A Pose Jul 18, 2016

An entire episode discussing the documentary 'Strike A Pose' - by film makers Ester Gould and Reijer Zwaan which examines "the lives of the seven young male dancers who joined Madonna on her controversial 1990 "Blonde Ambition" tour. They soon discovered that they were role models in the gay community, though they didn't always feel like it." The film re-connects with these men 25 years later in the aftermath of an experience which changed their lives for better and for worse. It's a surprisingly emotional and inspiring movie that Madonna fans will love but even the uninitiated will connect to due to the significance of what their bravery added to the global conversation regarding HIV and sexuality so many years later. If that's not enough to intrigue you, Darren actually vogued at his senior prom dressed as one of these men in a pin-striped suit - and Anthony was born the day 'Vogue' went to number one!

Ep 5: The BFG & Wiener-dog Jul 12, 2016

Ep 3: Tickled, The Shallows & Independence Day: Resurgence Jun 28, 2016

We went to see the documentary 'Tickled', The Blake Lively shark attack thriller 'The Shallows' and the mega-blockbuster sans Will Smith sequel to Independence Day - Independence Day: Resurgence. We got new digs, Anthony got new shoes and a celebrity was rude to Anthony at BevMo!

Ep 2: Finding Dory, The Conjuring 2 & Raiders! Jun 21, 2016

We saw 3 movies since our last podcast - Pixar's 'Finding Dory', unintentionally funny scary movie 'The Conjuring 2' and 'Raiders!' - an incredible documentary about a group of friends who made a shot-for-shot remake of 'Raiders Of The Lost Ark' in 1982.
