This week the guys talk about movies suggested by listeners of the podcast, y'know, LISTENER SUGGESTIONS, including one about werewolves in love with girls in love with vampires, one about girls in love with guys in love with dancing, one with a woman in love with a 13 year old boy in love with toys, and one about guys formerly in love with racism.  0:00 - opening and intro questions  5:...

This week the guys get a little personal and pick movies that tell their life stories, including a movie that may or may not be a love story, a movie that got panned and petered out, two movies that only Jordan watched, and a movie that none of them watched.

This week the guys pick some of their favorite ZOMBIE MOVIES, including two movies that Lance thinks ruined the books they were based on, a movie that started the entire genre, a rom zom com bomb, and a movie that feels like Tim Burton remade The Evil Dead. EEEAAAT!

This week the guys talk about some of their favorite movie characters, including a cross-dressing babysitter, a capitalistic high schooler, a milk-drinking assassin, and Winnie the Pooh on opium.

This week the guys discuss movies that make them giggle and guffaw... FUNNIEST MOVIES, including a non-singing Madonna, a too-paid actor/director, Walt Disney getting shot in the leg, and a south of the border ET.

This week the guys pick their favorite underrated movies, including one about the invention of the hula hoop, one about throwing chairs from a high rise, one that's six movies in one, one with a lot of screaming, and one that's a procedural on digging holes. Oh and Lance gets upset about something or other.

Now that the Academy Awards are over, the guys pick their favorite Oscar Losers, including movies that were unfairly snubbed by Forrest Gump, Gladiator, Annie Hall, The French Connection, No Country For Old Men, and two that lost to something called Hamlet.

The guys reflect on their favorite movies from 2016, including one that had Gibby heaving in his seat, one that hypnotized Lance, one that gave Jordan lockjaw, and we learn that Hudson has finally come-of-age. What a time to be alive!

Podcasts rely heavily on iTunes reviews, and we want to grow the show as much as possible, so here’s the deal: the next 12 people who leave us a review on iTunes (starting February 10) can send us an e-mail (at fightaboutfilm@gmail.com) with a movie they want us to cover! We’ll feature those 12 movies later this season on a show entirely made up of listener suggestions.

To start our second 'season' the guys fight over their favorite movie sequels, including one that gave Lance a headache, one that puts Jordan to sleep, two that don't include Batman's origin story, one that completely ignores the original, and we still have time to argue about the definition of 'sequel' when Lance makes his own rules!  0:00-2:24 - intro  2:24-5:04 - facebook talkback and...
