This week, we travel to a South Korean basement to eat some wonderful Ram-don and fruit before we discuss Parasite. We all agree that it’s one of the best films we've seen so far and we have the ability to smell when something’s really good. All of us struggling artists and critics can appreciate the metaphorical meanings in the film, but we may all be begging to be hit in the head at any time by a fortune granting rock.
Are you ready to rock? This week’s show will melt your face off as we discuss School of Rock and eat turkey subs, Pringles, Goldfish, Cheetos, and a Crunch bar, in essence, everything from Tomika’s desk. It’s great to watch kids have fun shredding with Jack Black. If the podcast gig doesn’t work out, maybe we can make our own tribute band. Step Off!
This week we all got Whiplash from from being continually smacked in the face by J. K. Simmons. Some of us took the abuse better than others, but we all got our stuff together and made this spectacularly professional show for our wonderful fans. Nothing’s going to ruin our reputation. We’re number one. Somewhere.
This week we do some extensive traveling and watch The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and eat toast, strawberries, grapes, fancy cupcakes, and have a spot of tea. We uncover probing questions and get no answers to them whatsoever as we probe deep into the heart of a film that needs more of something or may possibly be just fine the way it is.
We’re luckily joined by Corinna again this week to discuss Speed Racer for our 69th episode. We eat PB & J sandwiches, popcorn, and a variety of candy that gets us all revved up before we delve into the corporate espionage of race fixing in this fever dream of a film. Go Speed Go!
This week we’re joined by our good friend Corinna to continue our discussion of Kill Bill with volume two and enjoy some great sandwiches from Ike’s (not sponsored). We talk about what’s up with Budd’s nasty trailer, how great Elle and Beatrix’s fight scene in Budd’s trailer is, and how different volume one is from volume two. Does Elle survive being blind and alone in the desert with a black mamba? Was B.B. groomed to be an assassin by Bill before Beatrix takes her? Is Bill only playing dead? J...
This week, we talk about God said, “Ha!”, a monologue by Julia Sweeney. We ate noodles with the red topping and Jello before we discuss family death, if there’s a Heaven or not, and what we would do if we had a terminal illness. This is one of our most uplifting shows so far. Don’t miss out.
This week, we talk about Animal House and eat animal style hamburgers and fries and donuts for dessert. We reminisce about our own college experiences and agree that being in a frat would be too much work. The film may not be well constructed and needs a hero, but its influence can not be denied. Although many films have tried, Animal House can never be remade and maybe that’s a good thing.
This week, we discuss Matilda and eat Salisbury steak T.V. Dinners and chocolate cake. We question if Matilda’s telekinetic powers will lead her down a path to become Carrie or will Miss Honey save her? We all agree that the horrible Miss Trunchbull has some of most quotable lines in a film.
This week, we watch Brooklyn and splash some deliciously authentic Italian spaghetti with meatballs and bread. We discuss homesickness, beeches, and how everyone deserves a nice Tony.
This week, we return from hiatus and ring in the new year with High School Musical. We eat chili cheese fries, cookies, and a crème brûlée cheesecake before we discuss if it’s better to stick with what you know, get your head in the game, or bop to the top with a salsa beat. We all need a little gimme gimme shimmy shimmy sometimes but is this really the way to do it?
For our last Christmas episode, us wet bandits sit down over a delicious bowl of mac and cheese with a side of junior mints, and try not to pee ourselves from filling up on Pepsi.
This week we take a trip to Kingston Falls, aka Hill Valley, and watch Gremlins, our second Christmas film of the season. We eat fried chicken and a Snickers bar and take delight in the casualties in the film from Mrs. Deagle flying out of her upstairs window to Kate’s dad getting stuck in a fireplace. At least her dad didn’t get stuck tending bar for a bunch of hooligans.
This week we take a trip to the North Pole, and Denny’s because it’s an American institution, for Jose’s Christmas pick The Santa Clause. We’re certain there’s a elven and reindeer conspiracy at work in this movie that involves premeditated murder and stalking. We need no proof, like Charlie, we just believe.
This week we take a trip on Planes, Trains and Automobiles and eat oatmeal, Cracker Jacks, and Doritos. We can all be irritating and impatient during the holidays, but we’re thankful that we’re also forgiving and generous. Happy Thanksgiving.
This week we brush up on our Nietzsche and find a method in the madness of A Fish Called Wanda. We have a splendid dinner of fish and chips with a pear and discuss the sounds of Jamie Lee Curtis and John Cleese's open mouth film kissing, Michael Palin assassinating dogs, and the uncontrolled passion of Kevin Kline.
Oh jeez. This week we take a look inward and discuss the funny-lookin' bumbling fools of Fargo after eating a hearty breakfast of pancakes and eggs. We have nothing but love for Marge and Norm, but we wonder who ends up taking care of Scotty in the end. We’re sure the lad is looked after by nice Minnesotans. You betcha.
Circumstantial evidence surrounding our suspicious behavior during our horror movie marathon has forced us to eat B.L.T. sandwiches and animal crackers before watching Zodiac. No one may ever know who the real zodiac killer was, but it INDUBITABLY wasn’t any of us. There’s nothing to see here, but a lot to hear. Happy Halloween.
This week we get in touch with our inner things when we watch John Carpenter’s The Thing. We self-prepare and eat random canned food and Milk Duds before we discuss how many things are actually left alive in this campy research camp or if they kill the one big thing to rule them all. One thing’s for sure, now that we’ve said it, it’s sure to be thing canon according to Mr. Carpenter.
This week we kick off our October scary movie fest and get all gussied up to watch Ed Wood. We eat Boris Karloff’s favorite – OH NO! Strike that. – Bela Lugosi’s favorite goulash with some cotton candy. Real men are comfortable wearing pink cashmere sweaters and we are all real men here down to our frilly undies.
This week we eat protein bars, sans insects, and hard-boiled eggs before we hatch some new theories about the film Snowpiercer. We hope to faithfully lead you on a precise and well balanced journey into an explosive climax that Mr. Wonka would be proud of.
What happens when we die? Is there a great cosmic machine made to separate the little-brains from the big-brains or do we just fade to black? Can we fall in love in purgatory? This week we overcome our little-brained earthly fears and eat all of the pasta with Alfredo sauce, shrimp, and pie we can while we unravel the meaning of the universe in our discussion of Defending Your Life.
This week is our year anniversary show. We use our sweet skills to eat an explosive combination of elotes, and beans with chips. We don’t really find films that are more flatulent than we are so we put on our stretchy pants and battle through a discussion of Nacho Libre to celebrate.
For our year anniversary, we have a nice reception with honeyed prawns, fried rice, and a slice of chocolate cake with whipped icing before we discuss Muriel’s Wedding. We tell no lies about what we would plan if we ever get married and make our lives into an ABBA song. Just like Muriel/Mariel, we’ve developed nicely over the past year. At least the podcast has lasted longer than her marriage and that’s something to be proud of.
This week, we launch into some Iron Man action with what Tony Stark considers an American cheeseburger and some green juice. We are all cheeky geniuses here on Dinner with a Movie so we’re in good company with Mr. Stark as we decide if Obadiah is a good villain or if Pepper is really just another damsel in distress. We all agree that the first Iron Man film has led us on a path to some great and not-so-great MCU films over the years and render onto Mr. Stark and Mr. Favreau the applause they des...
This week we’re visited by our friend Kyle to get to the bottom of a variety pack of cereal and orange Jello, bite off more than we can chew from a Mars bar, and investigate the film Manhunter. We’ll let you decide if Manhunter is better than Red Dragon, but we figure out that yelling in anger while talking to yourself is the best way to catch a killer.
This week we're joined by our friend Andrew to eat a cup of noodles and drink a fruit smoothie. We talk about Her and discuss if she’s really manipulative or just an OS coming to terms with her new life. We also get a little weird and creepy sometimes, but it doesn’t keep us from finding the love that we deserve.
This week, we have peanut butter and boysenberry jelly sandwiches with an apple, banana, and tangerine. We travel to the future, present, and alternate future then wind up in the past and watch Meet the Robinsons. We continue our long-lasting discussion on the troubles of time travel in films and agree that what the Robinsons really need is Goob and maybe a little better animation.
Is this week’s film a brilliant satire or just a crazy mess in a garbage heap? We’ll let you decide as we go way down under and hop into Welcome to Woop Woop. We have fair dinkam tucker of wienerschnitzel, fries, and an Almond Joy and keep our eyes out for abductors and Big Red. Cheers!
This week, we get fueled up on burritos and fizzy pop to discuss why a film about Shelby and Miles is named Ford v Ferrari. We attempt to stay on track as we weave on and off topic with our brotherly love leading us to victory. Well, maybe not victory but a close second.
