Is there a one true love for everyone or is it all just a sham for a-holes? This week we talk about Crazy, Stupid, Love. and try to look like cool playboys while we eat pizza and mint chocolate chip ice cream cones. We’re a little bit crazy, a little more stupid, but our love keeps us together as we attempt to have the confidence to be better than the Gap.
This week we talk Rush Hour with a plate of Chow Mein by our side. Even though Chow Mein wasn't good enough for James Carter, we've got a craving for it, and a craving for classic Jackie Chan action. But that might be all we have a craving for in this movie. Maybe we just needed a full-length Soo-Yung Mariah Carey karaoke feature film and we would've been happier.
This week we're joined by our amazing friend Corinna Folkins to discuss Kill Bill: Vol. 1 and why Tarantino wants to keep choking his actresses so badly.
We set sail this week with a whole bushel of apples as we talk about our favorite pirate flick, and one of our favorite Disneyland rides.
Brandon and Blake guide Jose through an epic and dangerous journey across The Lord of the Rings Extended Editions. We eat various types of cheeses along with some wonderful tea and bread to accompany us in what may be the podcast with the most cheese sweats ever.
We're all deep undercover this week as we talk about another one of Blake's favorite childhood films. Does it have plenty of poorly-aged and problematic jokes? Oh yes. But there's nothing better than Frankie Muniz in his prime. Must be all the milk he drank.
Bon Gorno. In another entirely lactose-caused phlegmy episode, this week, Brandon, Jose, and Blake, with a belly full of milk and a strudel in hand, discuss Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. We've always said we wanted more dead Nazis in the World War 2 movies we watch, and we got what we asked for. Arrivaderchi.
Join us this week on the world famous Spooky Island as we try and replicate some of the classic Scooby and Shaggy sub sandwiches as well as cook up some non-plastic sausage links. We also discuss the intricacies of the Mystery Gang's deep bonds, specifically Scooby and Shaggy's possible romance?? From Mr. Bean to Scrappy Doo, this movie has it all, and count Brandon in as a converted Sugar Ray fan.
Straight from Nevada, we're joined by our good friend Noah Kiriu to talk about one of his favorite movies, Tremors! We grabbed our best Graboid-shaped foods and dug deep into the pleistocene alluvials to discuss the Tremors series and its legacy since releasing.
Join us in the Tangent Universe this week as we, heads up our butts, discuss the intricacies, successes, and failings of Richard Kelly's cult classic. As Blake's pick this week we wonder why he liked a movie so closely associated with time travel and multiple universes, and he wonders that too. But through the power of Sparkle Motion, we press on.
"How's the cake?" "It's really good." Our Boston Cream Cake was delicious too! This week we sat down over cake and pizza to talk about the Oscar-winning film Spotlight. Most of the actors in this movie have been in superhero movies at one point so it's fitting that they act in this one too.
"WUPI UPI?!" We're all on the Jar Jar Binks diet today with our meal because it represents how much we love the guy in the movie. Kicking off our Star Wars discussions for the years to come is The Phantom Menace. We talk all about our personal experiences with Star Wars, the uses of special and practical effects in the series, how strong milk actually makes you, George Lucas' possible hitlist, and plenty more!
"How's your tea?" "Very good, I'm enjoying my visit very much." That's what we told Brandon, because his tea-making and hosting abilities are beyond comprehension. If you're ever invited over to Brandon's house for oatmeal and tea, count yourself among the lucky few. It's almost as sought after as being one of the few who knew Joseph Merrick while he was alive! We examine David Lynch's classic with a modern lens focused on how nice their top hats are.
"Being the crafty and morally onerous chef that I am, whatever crappy levels of the bond I don't sell, I throw into a seafood stew." Our seafood stew may have been delicious, but whatever these banking guys are cooking up sure isn't. Good thing we had Anthony Bourdain's recipes to guide us this time and the Tums to settle our stomachs after watching this rage-inducing film. Our Local Economics Expert Jose Marroquin as always is here to guide our brains towards a thoughtful and knowledgeable disc...
"Git 'er done, man. Git 'er done!" Did Billy spark the international phenomenon that is Larry the Cable Guy? We aim to find out. Tiffanie Ignacio joins us this week to talk about one of her favorite movies, Carrie! We discuss all things bloody and beautiful in the film and Brandon reveals how he stays so clean. Before the movie we all ate a delicious bowl of Dinuguan to memorialize the death of the piggy murdered at the hands of John Travolta.
"This chili tastes like shit!" But not the chili Brandon made us, because that chili was delicious. We were all raunchy teenage boys at one point, so Porky's speaks to us on many different levels. We just debate a bit on whether we would've been pushed to the limits of making peepholes in showers.
"I asked you to give me a refreshing drink. I wasn't expecting a fucking rainforest!" A quote by Bacon. The character from the movie not the food, but we did eat bacon before this episode! Before the recording we were googling dildos to prepare, and most of the episode is reciting the names from the movie, but the rest of it is some good quality discussion.
Stephanie Rosauri and Rachel Katz, the hosts of Steph and Rach Aren't Funny join us this week once again! This time we discuss A Serious Man over iced tea and an assortment of different soups. We discuss Steph and Rach's experiences in the Jewish faith, the meaning of life, God, goys, and more. We also recorded an episode with Stephanie and Rachel talking about our favorite movies, so keep a lookout on their podcast feed for our conversation with them!
"Lou, get me a milk. Chocolate." We're going back to the past this week with the 1985 all-American classic Back to the Future. We discuss our toothbrushing habits, our undying admiration for Adam Sandler, and time travelling's greatest moral questions. Maybe it's the milkshakes, but we're more excited and phlegmy than ever before.
"For all its inconvenience the Silver Streak does provide an excellent cuisine." We're eating the fanciest of fancy foods this week with a nice fruit salad. Otherwise known in the smart circles as Macédoine of Fruit. But also we're eating some great marmalade on toast! Join us as we go undercover on the Silver Streak to solve a murder, and also watch Gene Wilder passionately kiss Jill Clayburgh in a very loud lip smacking contest. That was gross.
This week we discuss Spielberg's masterpiece of a film and a sobering reminder of the Holocaust, Schindler's List. Our meal consisted of both German Chocolate Cake as gifted to Schindler by his factory workers on his birthday and polska kielbasa, a part of the gift baskets Schindler sent to his customers.
Unfortunately we don't have Brad Pitt's swagger to allow us to eat throughout the entire podcast, but we did manage to eat some delicious homemade shrimp cocktail (courtesy of Brandon) and store-bought fruit cups beforehand. Personally, as Blake myself, I don't think fruit cups should exist, but to each their own. After our meal this week, we ask each other if Ocean's Eleven is a believable story. Would Matt Damon really be that attracted to Julia Roberts?
Ease on down ease on down the podcast with us this week while we sing along to The Wiz! We'll also be munching on the peanut buttery goodness that is Reese's peanut butter cups and Nathan's famous hot dogs. This isn't the first time we've scarfed wieners down our gullets for this pod and it certainly won't be the last.
We're in the chair this week as we discuss Soul, Pete Docter's fourth banging hit. Soul's depiction of the afterlife terrifies us, and we talk about how we might react to learning the truth about the Great Beyond. Joe might not be able to balance music with the rest of his life, but that won't stop us from eating and podcasting at the same time. With pizzas in our stomach and lollipops in our mouths, nothing can stop us from deciphering life's greatest questions.
We're joined by our good friends Stephanie Rosauri and Rachel Katz this week to discuss a film very near and dear to their hearts (and ours). SHREK! We get knee-deep in the swamp this week as we discuss our wide-ranging views of the political state of Duloc and the wider Shrek world. Shrek's essentially made an entire vegetable a meme and we explore why and how. You can find all of the Steph and Rach Aren't Funny content anywhere you listen to podcasts and on their youtube channel. Go check them...
Not much room for funny business this week as we discuss Son of Saul, a Hungarian film following a member of the Sonderkommando in Auschwitz as he attempts to have a proper burial for his son. Blake cooked up some Hungarian Goulash to fuel us with a heavy meal for a heavy discussion.
It's a Beautiful Thing, this podcast isn't it? This week we talk about just that. Beautiful Thing. Mama Cass may not have choked to death on a bacon and egg sandwich, but we sure did this podcast after eating one! It's a wonderful movie about two boys coming to terms with their sexuality, but Brandon, Blake, and Jose mainly just learned all about British vulgarity and weaponize it towards each other.
We're having what she's having this week during our discussion of When Harry Met Sally. Brandon organized an incredible salad with everything on the side, and Blake brought store-bought Apple Pie and strawberry ice cream. Jose genuinely thought they didn't sell strawberry ice cream in stores. None of us like apple pie, but we powered through and ate it anyways, so don't say we never sacrificed for you all.
We're wrapping up our Christmas movies this year with A Christmas Story. We reminisce on Christmases of old and share our feelings of Christmas cheer over a savory meal of duck, pickles, and cookies. Ralphie's stupid round face angers Jose, Blake wishes Mother Parker was his mommy, and Brandon invites ghosts into his house. Merry Christmas!
Welcome to the POLAR EXPRESSS! Jose's Christmas pick is all about believing in delicious hot chocolate, and we all made our own scrumptious versions of it along with some popcorn and cookies. This terrifying film full of Christmas cheer manages to bring us a lot of joy, and hero boy, hero girl, lonely boy, and know-it-all have all made it into our hearts.
