Tim and I are once again joined this week by Debbie as we continue ranking our top 10 MCU movies of all time! We conclude our lists with numbers 5-1...

Tim and I are joined this week by a very special guest, Debbie! We all rank our top 10 MCU movies of all time! Numbers 10-6 are this week with 5-1 coming next week...

This week Tim and I talk all things curation. How do we make lists? How do we decide how to tackle them? What kind of conversations do we have around them? All that and more!

This week Tim and I talk about a topic near and dear to our hearts, character actors. We both have lists of our favourites, as well as examples of roles that wouldn't be the same without them. All that and a side discussion about Wakanada Forever!

Last episode we covered our top 10 board games and now it's time for the expansions!

Tim and I update our list of top 10 board games. What has changed in the past few years? What new additions are there? Do we have new number ones? Tune in to find out!

Tim and I discuss our love of concise, efficient 90 minute movies and how everything in theatres these days seems to be two plus hours. We talk about some good examples, some not so good, and when it's ok to exceed the two hour mark.

Tim and I do a deep dive into our favorite Viking film, The Northman. We discuss everything from the score and cinematography to the performances. Also, I play Loki to Tim's Thor and constantly steal his thunder!

Tim and I rank our top 10 albums from the 1970s! As we say at the beginning, it was more difficult than we thought, but in the end we have a blast!

Tim and I break down our top 10 albums of all time. We definitely have our favourite genres, but some entries on our list might surprise you!

This week, Tim and I discuss whether we've become grumpy old men and if we hate everything. Were we always this way or are we just choosier the older we've gotten?

Tim and I talk about sequels, specifically whether a bad one can derail an entire franchise. We give the cases for yes and no and so much more!

This week Tim and I talk all things Nic Cage again. We look back on the last few years of his work since our last look at his career. We give our thoughts on Pig, Dream Scenario, Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, and his latest film Longlegs.

Tim and I discuss all things MCU in an updated look at what's happening in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where we think it's headed, our thoughts on it, and a spoiler filled review of Deadpool and Wolverine!

We're back baby! After three long years, Tim and I return to give an update on our lives and what we've been doing lately, plus our thoughts on all things pop culture!

Tim and Mike join me once again to continue ranking the MCU films. This week we start with 15 and get all the way to 9! What films do we have ranked where? How close are we with our rankings? Are there any surprises or disagreements? Tune into find out! Presented by Timotheories.

I'm back after taking a few weeks off to move and because of general laziness! Tim and Mike join me this week, as we begin the thankless task of ranking all 23 MCU films. It's an episode so big I had to split it into three parts! We start at the bottom at number 23 and work our way up. What films in the MCU do we hate so much (or in my case haven't seen) that we rank them at the bottom? You'll hav...

This week I'm joined by David Majors of The Promenade Merchants Star Trek Podcast as we rank the Star Trek films! We start the podcast off talking about some of the Star Trek shows, as we agree that Deep Space 9 is the best, while we disagree a little on the quality of Voyager. Our lists are fairly close, but there are some differences, mainly in how we view the quality of the new films. What film...

I'm joined by a special guest again, Wade Simmons (a filmmaker from Chicago), to share his thoughts about how different films are for different people. We talk about the film that made me come up with this topic, Black Panther, as well as other films that I'm not a huge fan of, but I'm not the target audience for, like Twilight. Wade talks about how he can get something out of almost any film, as...

This week I'm joined by two special guests, The Gala Sisters (of The Gala Sisters YouTube channel), to talk about what happens when you don't like the things other people like. This episode ends up being a little different than many of my past episodes, as both my guests are asexual lesbians and I ask a lot of questions about what being asexual means, what  it was like growing up for them, an...

This week I'm joined by a very special guest star, Lillian Hernandez from the Wine Down With Lil podcast, to talk about the depiction of women in film. Has it gotten better over time? We address this question, as well as discuss some examples of where we think it has gotten better and other examples where it hasn't. We talk James Bond, Horror, Detective Noir, Action, classic films, and so much mor...

Tim drops by to talk about two films by an up and coming director (Robert Eggers, not David as I incorrectly call him in this episode), The Witch and The Lighthouse. Tim talks about the reasons why he has so much love for The Witch, while I discuss why it didn't quite stick for me, including repeating the same point several times! I also talk about why I like The Lighthouse so much and why I think...

This week I'm joined by a very special guest, Jacob Godbey from the Ginger on Ginger podcast! This week we're talking about movies and TV shows that have gone on too long. Jacob has some great examples of sitcoms, while I set my sights on some science fiction, action, and horror franchises. We also give a few examples that seem to be able to avoid this problem and I give Jacob a Coles Notes (or Cl...

This week Tim and I talk about the Amazon Prime animated show Invincible. We discuss the comic the show is based on, how it's different from other shows like The Boys (also on Amazon Prime), we gush over the stacked voice cast, Tim voices his love of the musical choices, we get into spoiler territory about what happens in season 1, and we give our overall thoughts on the first season. Presented by...

Tim joins me this week to talk about the Cageaissance, or rather the resurgence of one Nicolas Cage. We talk about his early films, his most successful period of work (aka the 90s), his disappointing work in the 2000s, and we do a deep dive on three of his more recent films - Mom and Dad, Mandy, and Color Out of Space. Presented by Timotheories.
