The One. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Everything Everywhere All At Once. You guessed it, Home Trees! This week we'll be taking a look at movies that have one thing in common: all of them showcase that gem of the Golden State, sunny Los Angeles! Eh? What's that? Spider-Man is a New Yorker? Well, shoot. I have no idea what ties these movies together. Maybe there's an alternate universe where Spider-Man is douchebag surfer guy or something, I don't know. It all seems so futile and meaningless...

Ding dong! Guess who's back for another reunion episode? Hopefully we don't cock it up with our free-swinging discussion. In addition to revealing the movies in next week's main episode, we really turn the knob and get to the root of one very simple truth: we missed our Home Trees and while we may have formally ended the podcast, our love for you weenies will frankly never peter out. Time may stalk us, the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune may prick us, but we'll never give you guys the sh...

What's up, Home Trees! It's us, ya boys! After a long and crazy year, for which we claim no responsibility (wear a mask, people!), we decided to get back together for a reunion show in order to honor one of the greats. We just lost Sean Connery, a true chameleon and a master of the craft. We decided to take a look at the Untouchables, the Hunt for Red October, and the Rock. Three movies that... really showcase the range and depth of one of our favorite knights of the realm. So pour yourself a ne...

Three oafish knaves will sit in a moving domicile, Saying many things and nothing at the same time; Their words will echo o'er the globe, Then go silent. Or maybe they get eaten by a bear, fuck if I know. Thus spake Nostradamus many centuries ago. We usually don't put much stock in soothsayers at More Gooder Than... but ol' Nosty might have been on to something with that one. As foretold, the time has come. Our final episode is here, and we wanted to go out with a Goodie Bag so we could hear fro...

Holy switcheroo, Home Trees! For our final two episodes,we decided to flip the script. We felt that the Goodie Bag was a more proper farewell, so this week you'll get the 'main' ep first! We each brought a movie to the table that we wanted to get on the show, but never managed to squeeze in. Donnie suggested Brick, Chris offered up Road House (for which we will never forgive him), and Cory brought some obscure space opera called Rogue One. So the theme for this week is 'because we wanted to.' Be...

He's just a Poe boy, he needs no sympathy! Hey there, Home Trees-- it's our penultimate episode and did we watch some really great movies this week! We took a look at some of the less starwarsy films of Guatemalan hunk of sizzling churrasco Oscar Isaac. Sucker Punch, Ex Machina, and Annihilation all go under the lens for an episode we've cleverly titled And the Oscar Goes to... Isaac! That guy really likes playing support roles behind strong female leads, doesn't he? Please rate and review us on...

Apologies, Home Trees... when we tried to plan this week's recording time we rolled a natty one. For the first time in the twenty-three years that it feels like we've done the podcast, we just couldn't pull it together. So we dug deep into the archives and pulled out one of our favorite episodes. We'll be back on schedule next week, but for now please re-enjoy... Pandorum and the Others! Er, Space Dementia, I think it's actually called! Please rate and review us on iTunes. Listen to us: http://w...

The story of Jim Carrey is one of overcoming adversity. As the only albino of the prolific Wayans clan, James Reginald Reuel Carrey was born without bones and only able to speak through his rectum. However... he quickly developed a talent for humor and by the age of twenty had successfully made all of the money! But that wasn't enough. The siren's call of the Serious Actor is hard to resist, and America's favorite rubber-faced clown soon succumbed. This week, we watched The Truman Show, The Maje...

Spring is in the air, Home Trees! You know what that means: time to drive four hours and sit inside a theater with a bunch of other nerds. Chris and Cory regale us with tales of their trip to see a live recording of one of their favorite podcasts! Plus in a truly riveting new segment we quietly watch a teaser trailer and then make some generic comments about it! Wow! What on earth are you waiting for, dig in to this week's Goodie Bag!

Titanic. Romeo Plus Juliet. Inception. Finally, an ancient bwong is set right as Cory forces Chris to watch two of these movies for the first time, and then we go down one more level where Cory and Chris force Donnie to watch all three of them! Is any of this even real?? Also there's some evil ice and a family feud and a delightfully dickish Billy Zane. So get a hanky ready and gird those hearts and loins... it's time for When Donnie Met Leo! Please rate and review us on iTunes. Listen to us: ht...

Remember that time when Jim was Asian, causing Dwight no shortage of consternation? Good stuff! Join us this week as we continue discussing the funniest, most touching, and most poignant moments from the revered comedy series. And, to no one's surprise, the results of the Twitter poll came in: Home Trees overwhelmingly voted Scott's Tots as their absolute favorite Office episode of all time! Out of respect for the fans, we spend the final thirty-three minutes discussing, in excruciatingly minute...

As was prophesied, Daver the Daverian, The Traveler has come! Choose and perish! Or at least chuckle heartily as we break down Dave Morgan's picks for this week's episode: Foxcatcher and Creed. Whether you like strapping, oiled men grappling with each other, or strapping, oiled men hitting one another... this episode has you covered! Covered like a strapping man might be in, oh, let's say oil! In this corner, weighing in at however many goddamn pounds it wants... Dave Morgan Presents: More Goode...

It's not every day that Corporate drops by for a visit-- that's right, Dave Morgan was in the bunker to record with us! The man, the myth, the legend himself. It was kind of a bittersweet recording sesh... Dave wanted to let the Home Trees know that he listens to your opinions and takes them seriously, so he did fire Chris. I guess we'll have that rotating panel of Podfix Chrises after all! That works out well for Cory and I, as we don't have to memorize any new names. Wait... I'm being told tha...

Bourne. Reacher. Wick. Now that I've gotten your attention, and probably more than a few of your teeth and bone fragments, get ready for an action tour de force that'll smack you upside the head harder than a rolled-up Time magazine! This week, we reveled in the amazing action flicks The Bourne Supremacy, Jack Reacher: Never Go Back, and John Wick: Chapter 2. Spoiler: these movies rock and we enjoyed them immensely. So raid your stash of Continental coins and hit up your favorite sommelier, then...

Hey, Home Trees! We hope you take pleasure in laser-like focus and precision, because this Goodie Bag is chock full of it! Except not really, owing to the fact that Cory had to mess EVERYTHING up by making plans on our normal recording weekend, thus forcing us to record a week early before our brains had properly re-formed into their normal shapes after Mike and Morgan smooshed them. But if you like dudes just talkin' about random stuff... well, go listen to Dan and Kody. But then come back and ...

Once in a great while, maybe once in a generation if we're lucky, films come along that change the game and redefine the genre, nay, the very fabric of cinema itself. Then there's "movies" like the ones we watched for this episode: panned at release, forgotten by all but the most twisted of masochists. This week we lament the exactly 4.5 hours we'll never get back from watching Miami Connection, Troll 2, and Samurai Cop. Big shoutout I guess to Mike and Morgan from the Bad Reception podcast for ...

Jason Mulligan from Range Outdoors returns for the main ep as we tackle two rocky features: Cliffhanger and Vertical Limit! Join us as we mine every crack and crevice of these over-the-top adrenaline fests for comedy gold! It was a little weird having an actual expert (in a relevant field, no less!) on hand, but Jason assures us that these two gemstones are hyper-accurate in their portrayal of outdoor activity... whatever that is. So put your jeans on and hammer your pitons.... it's time for Rig...

In this week's Goodie Bag we become initiates of the solemn aforementioned ritual, thanks to the expert guidance of Fuzzy Dan, Paris, and the rest of our beloved counterparts in the Upside Down. Plus some really amazing voicemails! We can't think of a better way to get back in the swing of things, and we hope you enjoy listening to this one as much as we did recording it!

Well, Home Trees... you wanted it, you finally got it! A softer, more sensitive Rickman. From Sheriff of Nottingham to Sheriff of Notting Hill, from Dr. Lazarus to Dr. Loverus, from Hans Gruber to, uh, Glans Luber. Ew, I should have quit while I was ahead. But that's not important right now! After several years of polite suggestions and/or threats of violence, we bowed to your wishes and gandered at three very special against-type Rickman movies: Truly, Madly, Deeply; Sense and Sensibility; and ...

Don't call it a comeback! We been here for years, rockin' the jeers, puttin' suckas in tears! Happy new year, Home Trees! The hiatus is over, and the group counseling has progressed to the point where we can all be in the same room again without resorting to violence. In this week's episode, we do the utterly unexpected and talk about what we did over the holiday break. Fascinating! We also finally give in to popular demand. Well, at least as far as next week's episode is concerned-- Chris did N...

Wow! You’re bearing witness to the last episode of MGT ever...for 2018. Almost got you there, didn’t we? You know as well as anyone we’ll only stop podcasting when the prophesy has been fulfilled. So far, none of the signs have been seen. We’re still on vacation, but like good hosts, we planned ahead and recorded another AMA-esque episode ahead of time for your consumption. If you’re jonesing for movies, Home Trees, the podcast will be back to its regularly scheduled programming soon. Please rat...

Ho ho hope you're all enjoying the season, Home Trees! We're certainly having fun on our little vacation, but we do have a couple of minisodes lined up to tide you over until we get back to our regular schedule. This week we answer some hard-hitting listener questions that probe deep into our collective psyches! If you think you CAN handle the truth, tune in to hear what horrors lurk in the recesses of our minds! Although to be perfectly honest, most of the questions are silly and benign. And we...

You never have friends like the ones you had when you were twelve. Until you hit middle-age and start podcasting and the three of you spend all your time acting as though you were twelve! Also, much like Annette Funicello, our own boobs are starting to grow a bit as we mature. This week we forge lifelong bonds, look at corpses, and finally teach Chris how to catch a ball! We watched Stand By Me, Now and Then, and the Sandlot for a nostalgic, wistful look at yesteryear. If you know the secret kno...

Omg, Home Trees: the voicemails this week are probably the funniest we've ever had! Just kidding-- we didn't get any!! It's totally cool, though. YOU JUST DON'T GET TO HAVE CHRISTMAS OR RAMADAN OR SATURNALIA UNTIL WE GET VOICEMAILS! I'm kidding again. Saturnalia is always on the table! But I digress. In addition to not listening to voicemails, we also welcome two new 'casts to the Podfix family! Bad Reception and I Shake My Head: take a bow! We'll be sending out the Podfix goons to collect membe...

Steve "the Motherflippin'" Galindo knows that none of our Home Trees are melancholy, awkward nerds... so for his second round Patreon episode he wanted to open a window into that world for us to gaze through. And gaze we did, at all the quirky oddness from the mind of Wes Anderson! At the Galindo's behest, we watched the Royal Tenenbaums, the Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, and the Grand Budapest Hotel. Chris was so unexpectedly pleased by the selection that he cut off part of one of his fingers...

Those pirate episodes really had you Home Trees swabbin' your decks, didn't they? Why does a nomadic life at sea, taking whatever you want whenever you want, rules be damned, have such an allure? You know what, I see it now. Answered my own question. Speaking of taking you what you want... Morgan and Mike from the Bad Reception podcast did exactly that, claiming Fourth Tier Home Tree status and bending us to their will. For a future episode, anyway. Much like the Dread Pirate Galindo, whose seco...

The most feared buccaneer to ever sail the seven seas joins us as we plunder and pillage our way to glory! That's right, Home Trees... Calico Steve Galindo of the good ship Kingston came ashore and hung out with us in the temporary bunker at Bakersfield Escape Room!
