More Gooder Than Podcast

Oi!!!! Aussie fever has swept MGT! Only in retrospect is it PAINFULLY obvious how much us hosts were obsessed with the land down under from the get go. In our defense, Australians are pretty darn great.

The adoration of all things Australia by the MGT hosts is well documented. This is our first foray into the land down under, starting a love affair with its people and places that lasts to this day. Call this Goodie Bag our “meet-cute,” if you will. Watch the OG mad max trilogy to prep for next week’s main episode.

Originally Aired November 2016 Weird Science, Aliens, True Lies. These are some of the most enjoyable movies we have ever covered, bar none. RIP to Bill: gone too soon!

Wanna know what to watch for next week’s episode? Watch Aliens, True Lies, and Weird Science…you’re welcome for those gems. Believe it or not, we talk the World Cup in this episode. Timely, right? We talk a LOT of sports in this one. Hope you’re ready.

Originally Aired November 2016 We talk about episodes being influential from our catalogue. No episode had more impact on the show as a whole than this one did. The call backs we make to this one surpass any other episodes by a mile. Most importantly: it’s where the term “Home Trees” found its…home. Enjoy!

Originally Aired October 2016 This was just our second Goodie Bag of all time. It also solved an argument we had on whether we used to record the GB’s or Main episodes first. We also used to be able to keep episodes under half an hour. What happened to us?! If you want to prep for next week, go watch Avatar, The last Samurai and Dances with Wolves.

Originally aired September 2016 5th Element, Total Recall and Starship Troopers. What can you even say about these movies? You…who knows. Us hosts…A LOT. Enjoy one of our best episodes.

Originally aired August 2016 This is the FIRST Goodie Bag of all time! So crazy how fast we found our groove, right?! Do you like Goodie Bags or Main episodes more?

Originally aired August 2016 This is the ep where we REALLY started to dial things in. Donnie’s Quickies became legendary, Chris stopped being so dang wooden on his intros, and we started to actually give names to the episodes themselves. As for importance, this episode marks the first time Donnie expresses his hatred for Aerosmith, kicking off what is now our longest running gag. Enjoy

Originally aired August 2016 Here’s a little blast from the past when we were just figuring this whole podcasting thing out. We hadn’t even coined the term “Home Tree” yet! Episode 3 is hands down one of our most referenced episodes, and features fan favorites Gremlins, Critters and the now infamous Ghoulies!

( Originally Aired July 2016) The shocking conclusion to our original episode 2. How’re you liking these rewinds, Home Tree?

Originally Released July, 2016 as a 2-part episode It’s Trilogy time again, Home Trees! Cory’s favorite movies of all time come right on the heels of Chris’ s in our second episode. We liked these movies so much, we talked long enough about them to make two full episodes. Is Marty stupid? Where did he meet the Doc? Are ALL Tannens buttheads? How much manure is too much? Do we make like a tree and...

( Originally released July 2016) As was foretold, we will start to release the previously unavailable episodes for your listening pleasure! (You’re welcome) This is it: the grandpappy of them all! We started off strong with arguably the greatest trilogy of all time. Was the sound quality the best? No. Was Chris’s initial delivery of written lines wooden? Yes. Were we funny right off the bat? Hell...

What up, Home Trees? Been a minute! So... Chuck Norris died. While he may not have been a particularly stellar human being, he did have an impact on our childhoods. Or so we thought! After we watched 80s "gems" The Octagon, The Delta Force, and Firewalker, we all had the same burning question: why was this guy famous again?? While we had plenty to say about these... films... I'm not gonna lie, I t...

April Fool’s Day, Hometrees! We said 110 weeks between recordings, we ACTUALLY meant closer to 204. GOTCHA! Now that you feel properly tricked, here’s a Goodie Bag to whet your appetite for new content. Enjoy it while you can, who knows if it’ll be 300 weeks till we record again?

The One.  Spider-Man:  Into the Spider-Verse.  Everything Everywhere All At Once.  You guessed it, Home Trees!  This week we'll be taking a look at movies that have one thing in common:  all of them showcase that gem of the Golden State, sunny Los Angeles!  Eh?  What's that?  Spider-Man is a New Yorker?  Well, shoot.  I have no idea what ties...

Ding dong!  Guess who's back for another reunion episode?  Hopefully we don't cock it up with our free-swinging discussion.  In addition to revealing the movies in next week's main episode, we really turn the knob and get to the root of one very simple truth:  we missed our Home Trees and while we may have formally ended the podcast, our love for you weenies will frankly never...

What's up, Home Trees!  It's us, ya boys!  After a long and crazy year, for which we claim no responsibility (wear a mask, people!), we decided to get back together for a reunion show in order to honor one of the greats.  We just lost Sean Connery, a true chameleon and a master of the craft.  We decided to take a look at the Untouchables, the Hunt for Red October, and the Rock....

Three oafish knaves will sit in a moving domicile,     Saying many things and nothing at the same time;     Their words will echo o'er the globe,     Then go silent.  Or maybe they get eaten by a bear, fuck if I know.     Thus spake Nostradamus many centuries ago.  We usually don't put much stock in soothsayers at More Gooder Than... but ol' Nosty might have been on to something with that one.  As...

Holy switcheroo, Home Trees! For our final two episodes,we decided to flip the script. We felt that the Goodie Bag was a more proper farewell, so this week you'll get the 'main' ep first! We each brought a movie to the table that we wanted to get on the show, but never managed to squeeze in. Donnie suggested Brick, Chris offered up Road House (for which we will never forgive him), and Cory brought...

He's just a Poe boy, he needs no sympathy! Hey there, Home Trees-- it's our penultimate episode and did we watch some really great movies this week! We took a look at some of the less starwarsy films of Guatemalan hunk of sizzling churrasco Oscar Isaac. Sucker Punch, Ex Machina, and Annihilation all go under the lens for an episode we've cleverly titled And the Oscar Goes to... Isaac! That guy rea...

Apologies, Home Trees... when we tried to plan this week's recording time we rolled a natty one. For the first time in the twenty-three years that it feels like we've done the podcast, we just couldn't pull it together. So we dug deep into the archives and pulled out one of our favorite episodes. We'll be back on schedule next week, but for now please re-enjoy... Pandorum and the Others! Er, Space...

The story of Jim Carrey is one of overcoming adversity. As the only albino of the prolific Wayans clan, James Reginald Reuel Carrey was born without bones and only able to speak through his rectum. However... he quickly developed a talent for humor and by the age of twenty had successfully made all of the money! But that wasn't enough. The siren's call of the Serious Actor is hard to resist, and A...

Spring is in the air, Home Trees! You know what that means: time to drive four hours and sit inside a theater with a bunch of other nerds. Chris and Cory regale us with tales of their trip to see a live recording of one of their favorite podcasts! Plus in a truly riveting new segment we quietly watch a teaser trailer and then make some generic comments about it! Wow! What on earth are you waiting...

Titanic. Romeo Plus Juliet. Inception. Finally, an ancient bwong is set right as Cory forces Chris to watch two of these movies for the first time, and then we go down one more level where Cory and Chris force Donnie to watch all three of them! Is any of this even real?? Also there's some evil ice and a family feud and a delightfully dickish Billy Zane. So get a hanky ready and gird those hearts a...
