Rebel Boooo-n

Adam watched Rebel Moon and told me about it. He did not like it. I drank a Whiskey Daisy! He drank water. After we finished recording he said "you were getting real vulgar today!" Then we recorded a different ending. See if you can find where we split it!

Who has the best villains?

Inane conversation about a meaningless subject for about twenty minutes. Had a pretty good time recording it.

The Marvels: Doesn't suck

I saw someone say The Marvels was the worst superhero movie ever, and that's ridiculous. I'll now list some worse superhero movies: Joker. Aquaman. Thor: The Dark World. Thor: Love and Thunder. Thor: The first Thor.

A Christmas Miracle on 34th Street

I'm gonna level with you. I don't know if 34th Street is in this movie. Is it where the apartment is? Is it a major street in New York? I know New York is a grid system. It's very hard to get lost there.  This is a good movie. The dude playing Santa kills it.

Dear Graham Presents: Blunt Talk about The Rock in Jungle Cruise

We sat down to talk about the movie Jungle Cruise, which is both bad and good. Listen to find out why. Also I watched Fear Street on Netflix. What a weird series of movies. We don't talk about that in this episode, it's just on my mind.

Hi, We're the Replacements

We reviewed the strangely anti union movie The Replacements, starring Keanu Reeves, Jon Favreau, and some other people. What a nonsensical blast! Also tune in for the debut of our new segment, Best Naps.

Keeping the Faith

By sheer chance, we watch our second religious themed movie in a row, so I guess we're celebrating Lent (if in fact you're supposed to celebrate a person being trapped in the desert for 40 days and nights, if that happened to me and people celebrated it, I'd reevaluate how I've been treating people). There aren't nearly as many good Lent movies for us to watch completely by accident as Christmas movies. What's the Lenten version of Die Hard, for instance? Boondock Saints? No Alan Rickman, not nearly as fun.  Anyway, Keeping the Faith is another of the late '90s, early '00s movies that aren't really made anymore. At least not with several well known actors for wide theatrical release. Everything's very meta and self aware now (which is fine, we liked Deadpool almost as much as the theater full of 13 year olds who saw it with us did, but we liked it more than their horrified parents who clearly did not do their research before coming to that film), and sometimes it's nice to just sit down and watch a comedy that somehow takes itself very seriously and has Ben Stiller in it. Is it a good film? I wouldn't say that. Is it a bad film? Probably not. It's background noise. Sometimes it's nice to just have some background noise. You're doing something completely unrelated and you can look up and say "Wait, Edward Norton directed this? The guy from American History X? What is that guy's deal, anyway?" Or you can wonder why Jenna Elfman's career in film didn't really take off because she's totally fine in this, and then Wikipedia her and wonder just a little bit less. To summarize, it's a solid film with some laughs, but the real laughs are the friends we made along the way.

Dogma

Starring America's Sweethearts, A+A

We review the 2001 movie America's Sweethearts starring John Cusak, Julia Roberts, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Christopher Walken, Stanley Tucci, and more. Critics hated it, we (for the most part) liked it very much!

Upcoming Movies, some cocktails

We bring on two very special listeners to discuss upcoming films and also whether or not Dune is fascist propaganda, but that's pretty much all I remember and we don't have an answer for the second one.

Christmas Chronicles 2: When even Kurt Russell can't save a movie

We continue to talk about Christmas movies this week, with a terrible Netflix film. In this episode I was asked to name good Kurt Russell movies and I blanked, so I'm putting a list here: Tango and Cash Big Trouble in Little China Sky High The Thing The Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes (I've never seen this, but it's a guaranteed winner, title like that)

Happiest Season: I don't care what Amelia says, I liked it

Happiest Season is the first of our Holiday films we watched. Amelia was lukewarm. I was warm. We're putting this episode out on a Wednesday because everything is chaos and days of the week are a social construct.

Logan Lucky

Logan Lucky is a good movie. Watch Logan Lucky. Especially with Hillbilly Elegy coming out recently, if you're going to watch one movie about Appalachia, make it this movie. This episode is brought to you by Daniel Craig in James Bond: No Time to Die.* If you see Daniel Craig and it looks like his eyes are screaming for help, what he's really saying is "please go see No Time to Die." *We received no money from No Time to Die, we're just excited Daniel Craig fans. If they want to pay us, though, we'll happily take their money. Except Daniel Craig's money. It's no good here.** **Daniel Craig's money is no good here because he's British, and likely most of his money is in Pounds. We have concerns about the long term future of the Pound, and will therefore, not accept his money.

Trial of the Chicago Seven

We are scheduling this episode in advance to come out the day before the 2020 US election, which is frightening. We loved this movie about protests and organizing but depending on the state of the nation we encourage all beloveds to listen to what their bodies need and do fluffy unimportant stuff if necessary (except unless you have not already VOTED in which case GO VOTE FRIENDS VOTE AGAINST TRUMP PLEASE and if you are considering voting for Trump please STAY HOME INSTEAD AND WATCH THIS MOVIE ON REPEAT UNTIL WEDNESDAY).
