Hugh Grant's Vernal Dance comes to a scintillating conclusion thanks to the incredible musical talents of guest Jared Sosa and the once-in-a-generation lyrical genius of your boys, Jack and Tanner. Did we fall in love while creating this soon-to-be-smash-hit single for you? Did we reveal breathtaking new information about the secret lives of two deeply beloved, fan-favorite characters? Should you, too, watch the mostly forgotten 2007 Hugh Grant and Drew Barrymore vehicle, "Music and Lyrics"? Yes...

We dodged a real bullet this week (well, not Tanner—he was killed by his Looper closing the loop) when we DIDN’T watch 1995’s “Nine Months” and instead watched 2002’s “Two Week Notice” during the continuing frenzied mania that is Hugh Grant’s Vernal Dance (#HGVD). But that’s not our ONLY viral cause this week, because our intrepid young investigators—Tyson Lamborghini and Stryker Marshall—have blown the lid right off the insidious conspiracy to withhold famous actor and personal friend of the sh...

Hailed as the “Superman: Dawn of Justice” of its day, our film this week was the first to unite three separate cinematic universes in one story-telling masterpiece. Never before, and to the day of this being written never again since, has a film DARED to invite the “City of Angels” AND the “Little Nicky” narrative universes into its OWN overarching cinematic superuniverse. Really incredible stuff. The film, of course, is 1999’s “Notting Hill.” Part of our “Hugh Grant’s Vernal Dance” celebration....

As we all Benjamin Button backwards through the great sweep of human achievement, from the futuristic AI-enhanced space operas that will dominate the next century to the expressive cave paintings that started it all, let's pause for a fleeting moment to appreciate the absolute pinnacle of it all: Ang Lee's 1995 film Sense and Sensibility (which would later be adapted into a novel by Jane Austen herself.)

Garry Marshall's 1990 film "Pretty Woman" is famously a modern retelling of the Greek myth of Pygmalion and Galatea, if any of the sites I found trying to sell me a pre-written essay on the topic for high school English class are to be believed.

"Snow exposes complacently a complete ignorance," says F.R. Leavis in his 1962 lecture on C.P. Snow's "Two Cultures." "The judgement I have to come out with is that not only is he not a genius; he is intellectually as undistinguished as it is possible to be." The boys discuss this devastating moment in literary history and also enjoy a bit of banter about how handsome Hugh Grant is in this movie we watched.
