Content Swap

It's been awhile, so we thought we'd give recording a shot with the baby. No specific assignments. Just going over content from the last three months. Enjoy!

Walter Mitty is "Wake Up, Get Up, Get Out There" as a full-length feature film. Nine Queens is the deceptive movie about con artists that every con artist movie wants to be. Or at least some. We're back with two very different picks, but very fun picks. You can rent Walter Mitty on Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Life-Walter-Mitty/dp/B00ISJSFUW You can rent Nine Queens on...

Happy Valentine's Day! We may be a week late to celebrate, but it's never too late to celebrate love! For this year's Valentine's picks, we have a romance-adventure film starring Ferris Bueller that just barely qualifies as "80s dark fantasy," and one of the most impactful romcoms with an all-black cast of all time. Ladyhawke & Two Can Play That Game! You can stream L...

This week, we take some absurdly accurate real-life science and juxtapose it with some absurdly inaccurate movie science, or as we like to call it: Parabolic Calculus–inspired by the science behind the Jake Gyllenhaal film, Source Code. But this time Jakey boy is back, and he's got some facts about drugs to teach the viewers. The crime of committing parabolic calculus goes to Denzel Washington...

Yo, it's Parker writing the caption. What up, listener? This week, we have two movies that remind me of high school. My Family is a fantastic multi-generational film telling the story of a Mexican family in Los Angeles. The first time I saw it was in my 9th grade English class, and it really stuck with me. As for out other film? Well, let's say Project X reminds me a lot of some moments fr...

Stomp, stomp, the house is stompin'. Learn about the art of step (not stomp) in Stomp the Yard, and then learn about a movie that is a little slow, a little depressing, maybe not the best, but it's a whole something. You can rent Stomp the Yard on Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/Stomp-Yard-Chris-Brown/dp/B000QTEPMO You can rent Jeff, Who Lives at Home on Prime Video: https://www.amazon...

Was "Twilight for Boys" a good idea? Apparently not, or else people would be hosting "I Am Number Four" themed watch parties, and let's face it, that sounds weird. Twilight though? Let me get my black corduroys and hair gel out. Also, what's more important, going to Harvard or exploring a career in figure skating after previously having zero training, but suddenly being so good you might be able t...

We're back after another very long break. Sorry, we were on our honeymoon in Portugal! Catch up on that, a whole bunch of content we've engaged with in the last five weeks, and this week's picks in one of our beefiest episode yet!

We're Back! After a 3-month break, Content Swap returns with some huge life updates! In this episode, we finally dive into "Girl, Interrupted" and "The Usual Suspects" from our last assignments, but the real highlight is reminiscing about our favorite wedding moments. We also catch up on the movies, shows, and games that filled our past few months. Tune in on your favorite platform or find the lin...

The road to 100 is finally over! We made it! Honestly, so crazy that we've done this many episodes after Aaliyah had the simple idea to start a podcast 2.5 years ago. To commemorate 100, we assigned each other two classic films that are renowned for two completely different reasons... But did they age well? Rear Window & Breakfast at Tiffany's! 0:00 Intro 2:37 Aaliyah's Update 15:5...

After seeing MaXXXine a few weeks ago, we thought we’d do a little bit of education on serial killers for the podcast. Scary stuff! One is a docuseries focused on the officers that caught the Night Stalker, and the other is a narrative film focused on the officers (and others) that tried to catch the Zodiac killer. Stay safe out there, y’all! 0:00 Intro 1:00 Aaliyah's Update 2:01 Parker's...

This week, we visit perhaps John Carpenter's most problematic feature film, and Illumination's magnum opus of quality children's content. Big Trouble in Little China & Sing!

Think of the two scariest monsters you can imagine... So, an 18-wheeler truck and the NSA, right?? Well, if you watched this week's Content Swap picks, you'd think so! This week, we shed light on a relatively unknown Stephen Spielberg classic, Duel, and Tony Scott's surveillance porn epic, Enemy of the State. Buckle up!

After perhaps our longest hiatus yet, we're finally back! And with a promise to be back same time next week!

This week, we took a look at two films with directors who like to sneak in their own personal easter eggs throughout their filmography. First, a forgotten comedy from the end of the Apatow-comedy era, and second, a deeply introspective look at the Catholic religion from the perspective of writer-director Kevin Smith. Wanderlust & Dogma! 0:00 - Intro 1:48 - Aaliyah's Update 9:55 - Parker&#3...

This week, we revisit our childhood in the early 2000's with two movies based on popular animated shows, that we were probably supposed to watch once and forget about. Well, 20+ years later, and here we are. So let's see how they held up! 0:00 - Intro & Updates 22:20 - Digimon: The Movie 54:55 - The Proud Family Movie 1:13:11 - Next week's assignments Watch Digimon: The Movie on th...

Taking some time for a bonus episode ahead of the Oscars this weekend! The two of us go through all 23 categories picking our personal preferences versus who we think is going to win. We hope you enjoy the discussion! It was a fun one.

This week had a surprising focus on the '90s with one film centered around skateboarding culture's influence on youth during this period, and another that is a more literal product of the time in how it showcases some of the most dangerous stunts committed to film before CGI began to slightly soften the blow. Mid90s & Hard Boiled! 0:00 - Intro 7:45 - Aaliyah's Update 13:02 - Parker...
