96 Greers

Holy sibling rivalry Batman, it's another mumblecore episode!  Well, it's a Duplass Brothers episode.  Perhaps those two descriptors aren't quite as interchangeable as Patrick and Reg had assumed.  Jeff Who Lives at Home has us pondering the physics of sinking cars, business communication trends of 2010, and what Ed Helms is like when he goes full Hollywood.  Save your ear-fork for the Other Segme...

This episode is being published a little late, but don't worry, we weren't giving you the Shaft.  More recent roles have seen the ever-Super Fly Judy Greer playing a White Mama, but on this episode we go back to 2003's action comedy The Hebrew Hammer, a blaxploitation homage with a Jewish twist.  Pour yourself a cup of Coffy and listen to Patrick and Reg get a little Uptight as they navigate the p...

Reg and Patrick go on an adventure to the Chicago International Film Festival to see the premiere of Eric LaRue, the directorial debut of Judy Greer's Pottersville co-star Michael Shannon and focuses on the emotional aftermath for parents whose children were involved in a school shooting.  We talk about our expectations going in and then time warp to the day after the screening to see if those exp...

It's damn near impossible to be a prolific Hollywood actor in the 21st century without being in a franchise or two.  Judy Greer plays Laurie Strode's daughter Karen in David Gordon Green's Halloween, a sequel to John Carpenter's Halloween.  Reg and Patrick talk about the inevitable teenage drama plot lines in slasher movies, stan Lumpy, and attempt to convince themselves that podcasters make for i...

Spoiler Alert! We got a sneak preview of Aporia and we do discuss the entire plot of the movie.  If you don't want spoilers for the third act, stop listening before 44:00.  Temps are high, sfx are low, and sci is fi when Reg and Patrick discuss Aporia, an empathetic and intellectual timeline-bender in which Judy Greer heads up an excellent cast.  Other topics include the WGA/SAG AFTRA strike, when...

Dig it:  70's Greer!  That's... all that Reg had prepared coming into this episode.  2011 indie crime film The Key Man doesn't have a lot going for it, but it does have Judy Greer.  Our intrepid Greer fans discuss queer-coded villains, what makes a bad movie bad, the screenwriter's favorite poem, and more! 

For that all-important eleventh episode, Reg and Patrick do something a little different, a little special.  With Judy Greer starring in a world premiere play less than an hour's journey from 96 Greers headquarters, there was no excuse not to throw Reg's carefully planned episode schedule out the window and focus on Kate Arrington's play Another Marriage, in its world premiere run at Chicago's leg...

IT is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single podcast in possession of a cinematic theme must be in want of a Nicolas Cage episode.  And Adaptation gives you two Cages for the price of one!  Two elder millennial film snobs return to this early-oughts Charlie Kaufman metafilm for the first time in years and go way over time talking other movies with dual Cage performances, adaptations of no...

In 1999, beloved actress Natasha Lyonne teamed up with director Jamie Babbitt to make the queer cult classic But I'm a Cheerleader.  In 2015, Lyonne and Babbitt teamed up again for the indie caper Addicted to Fresno, bringing along with them Judy Greer.  And a rockabilly pet cemetery.  And a bin full of jiggly purple dildos.  Reg and Patrick discuss the problematic implications of incarceration as...

Before Guardians of the Galaxy... before the Office...

Judy Greer meets Totoro!  Okay, not exactly, but she was part of the English dub cast of Studio Ghibli's The Cat Returns, a fantasy spin-off of their 90s slice of life film Whisper of the Heart.  Reg and Patrick talk about fatphobia on film, get a little Jungian, and create fursonas.  Referenced in this episode:  Sarah Kate Istra Winter's Girls Underground project

In the nadir of winter, Reg and Patrick take a 115 minute trip to a certain archipelago with The Descendants, a 2011 dramedy that got a lot of Oscar buzz and a lot of positive critical reactions for Judy Greer.  Find out if our intrepid hosts agree with the people who are paid a lot of money to judge this kind of thing.  Follow the podcast on Mastodon:  @96greers@laserdisc.party

Patrick and Reg battle head colds to discuss Good Boy, a selection from the Hulu/Blumhouse anthology horror series Into the Dark starring Judy Greer as a malicious dog mommy. 

Patrick and Reg explore the brave new frontiers (kind of) with turn of the century sci-fi comedy What Planet Are You From?, directed by the legendary Mike Nichols, starring Gary Shandling and featuring a JG powerhouse trifecta: John Goodman, Janeane Garofalo and... you know who.  We had the professional integrity to record on an alien spacecraft, so the prominent room tone is actually the ship's w...
