Pshht Themes

The names are, Erin and Brennan, Brennan and Erin. We drink our Vesper martinis and hope that they aren't poisoned by. . .  MADS MIKKELSEN!! (He's so Danish hot). We are talking about possibly the best Bond movie ever made: Casino Royale. The movie walks back the character from the gimmicky joke it had become over the decades and grounds him in a new sense of reality. No more missiles in...

Hear Ye, Void! We bring you the tale of Robin Hood and his Merry Men in this Mel Brooks production that is both honorable and ridiculous! We follow Cary Elwes as the best cast Robin/Erol Flynn of the 20th century, while he battles against home repossession, chastity belts, and STEALTH CATAPULTS!!! Of course our hosts are more than eager to discuss the historical relevance of the story, but mostly...

Good morrow, Void! We discuss Snow White and the Huntsman, the sudden and unexplained attempt by Universal Studios to reimagine Snow White as Lord of the Rings with a dash of Game of Thrones. There are no names mentioned in this movie, a concept our hosts regularly struggled with. We discuss pants, magpies, and ripping off Princess Mononoke. We're really just here to watch Charlize Theron who...

Greetings, Void! We felt that last week was a little heavy, so we decided to go with a childhood favorite: The Iron Giant! Did it make Erin cry? Yes! This underrated film is filled with all the things you love from a classic Pixar story. The moral of the story: you are who you choose to be, and I choose to be an emotional wreck! It's Brad Bird's audition film, Vin Diesel's greatest...

Greetings, Void. We're back (after a very very long break) to break down the war on terror, al Qaeda, and all those horrible things America did. You know, easy stuff! Podcasts that cover torture are famously light and fluffy in content! We discuss an incredible cast and filming crew to bring such a raw story to audiences. We follow Maya, a hunting dog that's caught a whiff, through decad...

Howdy, Void! We're in the south this week, discussing O Brother Where Art Thou, thinking of Dolly, and wondering how the Cohen brothers thought this movie was related to the epic, the Odyssey? Is it about faith, fate, or fortune? We're honestly not sure, but it's got a banger soundtrack. Erin gets another chance to talk about moonshine while Brennan shares that he was this close to...

This week Erin and Brennan board Radio Rock to broadcast the greatest music of the 1960's, we're talking The Who, The Kinks, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones!!! And sometimes the Beach Boys. There is one entity that wants to thwart us.....THE GOVERNMENT! We discuss discovering yourself through sex, drugs and alcohol, recognizing the best days of your life, and trying to decipher Thick Kev...

Erin and Brennan put on their kits, kilts and kimonos to celebrate the 2026 World Cup. Brought to us by Fifa and blatant world corruption! Yay! This year we honor the dark horse teams, the biggest underdogs, and the most arrogant powerhouse teams. We tackle the politics of the game being held in Canada, USA, and Mexico, as well as the glorious plays we saw on the field. But it's not all footb...

Welcome, Void! Erin and Brennan find a small red hell monkey with a HUGE. . . . hand! We watch as he grows to become Red, A.K.A. Hellboy. He fights Sammy, Raspy, Stabby, and SO many tentacles. We spent a lot of time discussing HP Lovecraft, hollow museum statues, and items of the erotic type. But it wouldn't be a podcast with Erin and Brennan if it didn't include ranting about practical...

Erin and Brennan are going to the cottage and wishing that they could afford "cottages" like that! We are finishing off Pride Month with the culmination of an intense and sexy story which began in the alley outside an ice rink and is ending with SO MANY TEARS! Mostly from Brennan but Erin gets involved too. We talk about the importance of allies, queer representation, devastating monolog...

Erin and Brennan begin Pride Month with communication issues similar to Shane and Ilya: Erin's computer keeps breaking and Brennan only hears what he wants to hear. But besides our technical difficulties, can we just bask in the glow of this hotness? I mean, BUTTS FOR DAYS! But also, SO DEVISTATING! They didn't even KISS!!!!! Our main relationship is hot Russian bad-boy meats pure-hearte...

We come from the land of ice and snow, where Thor is hawt and the lost things go! This week Erin and Brennan (siblings from work) drive the ships to new lands, away from Hela, while Thor and Loki seek to overcome their past to become the gods they were born to be. Along the way, we have Valkyrie, the hard drinking "Scrapper," Hulk + Bruce Banner as reigning Arena Grand Champion, and Topa...

Welcome back again again Void! This week we are completing our discussions on the Kenobi miniseries and are having a great time! It's got Kenobi, Kenobi swimming, Kenobi fighting, and GOD Kenobi? I mean, that's a LOT of boulders to throw at one guy, that one guy being Vader of course. Watch out Luke! It'll happen to you in 15 years or so! These three episodes are all about the relat...

Happy Star Wars Month!!!! Our 3 Jedi Masters in exile have spent the last 10 years watching Luke run from his chores and we're pretty tired of it. A broken Obi-Wan Kenobi is called into the fray to tackle his greatest challenge: a small willful child (AKA Princess Leia). Meanwhile, the Inquisitors are struggling to find the last Jedi in the galaxy through layers of paint and prosthetics. Only...

Ahoy Maties! Cheerio, pip-pip, and all that! Welcome to the final week of Submarine month, where we're swapping nuclear missiles for the power of MUSIC!!! We face the Bonkers, Clowns, and Jack-the-Pinchers to bring LOVE, YES, and VERY FRIENDLY HANDSHAKES back to Pepperland. No Nazis here! Instead, we celebrate our father's birthday by having many different discussions about the Beatles,...

Gutin Tag! Wunderbar! Schnell! ALARM!!! Oh wait, it's Submarine Month Part 3 and that means we need to talk about Das GREATEST submarine movie of all time, Das Boot. That means "The Boat" in German! Did we mention it's about Das Nazis terrorizing Allied forces in Das North Atlantic? Did we also mention that through shared anxiety, claustrophobia, and Das drive to survive (not F...

Welcome back to Submarine Month, and today we are diving deeper into the psychological stresses of being in a confined metal tube for weeks at a time. We have Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman arguing about the right way to use nuclear missiles. (And guess what, one of them is right and one is very very wrong.) Brennan references War Games several times (I can't help that it's good at e...

Ahoy! I'm a man! You're a man! WE'RE ALL MEN! At least, that's what Kirk Douglas' character would have us all shouting in our review of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. This is it, the progenitor of steampunk, nautical sci-fi, and submarine movies in general, and that's why we watched it! For our Submarine Month, we are going through the most impactful submarine movies,...

Buongiorno! (We're Italian now.) The Winter Olympics may have ended two weeks ago, but in Italy, we're just in time. Broadcasting to you from the famed snowy slopes of Los Angeles and Tokyo, Erin and Brennan break down the epic moments and controversies from the 2026 Olympic Games. From toy cauldrons to fine spandex butts, we have the content you CRAVE! Heck, let's throw in Heated R...

Welcome back, Void! It's our mother's birthday so we will be discussing one of her favorite topics: SPORT! This time we're discussing baseball, and in particular Moneyball, which took place in our community. It's the story of the criminally underpaid Oakland A's and their quest to get slightly better. This movie is not about successes or heroic deeds, it's about STATI...

Happy Winter Olympics, Void! We're checking in this week with a classic sports film about what we hope to see in international competitions: pride, power, and a bad mothah who don't take nothing from no one! We're talking about the Jamaican bobsled team in Cool Runnings, a fictional story based on the real 1988 debut of this team. We have Derice, the driver, Junior (rich kid) the fi...

Bonjour! Bienvenue à Renaissance France! (That means welcome to renaissance France in French!) (Also, no one speaks French in this movie except for "monsieur" and "madame"). We are discussing Ever After, a beautiful movie that flips the script on the classic fairytale trope way before its time. Danielle (or Daniella?) is a woman who don't need no man, and is more than will...

Heels, nails, blade, mascara; we're ready for OUR napalm era! This week Erin and Brennan willingly, and with no hint of hesitation, give up their souls to the Saja Boys. We love our girls, obviously, but THEY'RE SO HAWT!!!! Could you kill Baby Saja or Abby? Didn't think so. We try our best to say "Gwi-ma," obsess over Derpie and Sassi, and gush over EJAE and all the amazin...

This week Erin and Brennan find themselves in Rockridge watching one of the all time comedy greats Blazing Saddles. We discuss how the trope of the western is turned on its head while laughing pretty much non-stop.  I mean, this is a Mel Brooks film, so of course it has Medieval executioners in the Wild West, 4th wall breaking chaos that spills out into the streets of....Burbank. Plus QUICKSAND, a...

Happy Holidays, Void! Well, this episode writes itself to be honest. It's James Bond in North Korea with hovercrafts, Face-Off technology, and the obligatory stealth vehicle. This time, it's an invisible Aston Martin in the snow! Really, we can count the good things on one hand, but where's the fun in that? Listen to us lament Rick Yune (hot Korean-American actor) being made not-hot...
