The Film Snobs

Snobbies, we are here for pick number 2 for SUMMER CAMP MOVIES, this is Cody’s pick and he chose a movies that reminded him of his summers with scouts. So Cody picked the Daniels directed, “Swiss Army Man.” We were very very unsure about this film after watching it, but the more we talked about it, the more it unfolded into something very interesting. We talked about the directors, the deeper them...

SNOBBIES! Welcome to the new topic of the month, SUMMER CAMP MOVIES! Today we have Caleb’s pick and he swung for the fences. Choosing to decipher “Camp Greenlake,” as a camp, we will be watching Andrew Davis’s, “Holes.” This film is a great nostalgic pick and something that all of us hold close in our hearts. Yelnats! ZERO! ARMPIT! Jon Voight! Is this the greatest Voight performance of all time?!?...

Ladies and GENTLEMEN who like it hot, we have quite the pick from a disgruntled Snob, Jared. He was NOT happy with the previous picks and even went as far as to say that they made him feel PETTY not PRETTY. But today we have Jared’s pick from 1959 and from director Billy Wilder, “Some Like it Hot.” This film stars Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis and Marilyn Monroe! We have a good time talking about ju...

Here. We. GO!!! Snobbies, we have the third film in the I FEEL PRETTY theme. This pick comes from Eric and from Director  Tarsem Singh comes, “The Fall.” This film split the snobs up the middle. Eric enjoyed it, Caleb and Cody liked it sort of, and Jared did not like it. He was feeling petty and wanted better picks for this topic. We REALLY get into it and talk through this EPIC story. The shots i...

Welcome back Snobbies. Today we have a great little flick for I FEEL PRETTY. Caleb chose a film that he thought looked pretty and created a very beautiful scene to look at. From director Justin Kurzel, “Macbeth.” This film is a tough watch if you have ever tried to watch Shakespeare adaptations before. This one was unique and we talked through how this film made us feel and Jared shares his though...

WOWOWOWIIIIIEEEE. This pick from Cody was a bit of a curveball! We begin our next topic of “I FEEL PRETTY” where Cody picked a film from 1980 about the 1990’s. A rock Opera and glamorous take on the future…this film almost left us with nothing to talk about. From director Menahem Golan comes, “The Apple.” Can I talk about the plot in this synopsis? No. Truly I don’t know what to say other than thi...

We have arrive at the end of the SEQUELS segment! Welcome back snobbies. Today we have Eric’s pick and the final sequel choice. From the legendary director Denis Villeneuve comes a sequel to a legendary sci-fi film, “Blade Runner: 2049.” This film rules and we all know it, but it doesn’t exist without flaws. The snobs get into it and invite first time guest JOE! We talk through the various plot li...

Our TOP 10 list is mostly what we talk about in thi...

Sorry for getting this pod out late, but Snobies! This film RULES!!! We are watching a legend of a film. Today we gave Jared’s pick and he chose to pick from Jackie Chan’s vast breadth of films and managed to choose my favorite of all time: Director Chia-Liang Liu and Jackie Chan, “Drunken Master.” This film is absolutely FULL gas, no breaks. Guest stars TJ AND Andy!!!! We loved talking through th...

I won’t LIE, I wasn’t here for this episode, haha, but this was Caleb’s pick for SEQUELS from legendary director Terrence Malick comes the number three of three in this trilogy, the film is “Song to Song.” This film was heavy, romantic, etherial, and sometimes a bit hard to take in. Our boys discuss the finer details of this film and I recommend that you watch this one before listening. Enjoy! Fil...

HOLY S*** Snobbies! We have a truly legendary pick for you today. Kicking off our Sequels topic this month is Cody and his pick. He decided to go with something that none of us had seen and MAN is this a banger. From director Kenji Misumi comes the true masterpiece, “Zatoichi Goes to the Fire Festival.” A blind yakuza samurai meets an infamous blind leader of a gangster organization as he contends...

Ve vant to suck you BLOOOOODD!!!! Snobbies, we have a very special bonus episode for you. Remember when we covered 1979’s Nosferatu? Wellllllllllllll, we all went to see the recent Nosferatu that just came out and we got some thoughts! Some of us loved it, some of us hated it, haha. We also get into MANy tangents in this episode, so if that’s not your thing, We’re truly sorry. Enjoy! Film Discusse...

Snobbies! We have a VERY special episode for you today as we officially wrap up PUT A RING ON IT!

If you haven’t seen this film, find a cozy spot in the house and put this film on with someone you lov...

Hey there Snobbies! Today’s pick comes from Eric after he saw this film on an Actress’s top four on Letterboxd. The plot of the film intrigued him given that it is basically a 1960’s French, female John Wick story. From director François Truffaut, the films “The Bride Wore Black.” This film was a treat and the snobs, sans Caleb, really enjoyed watching this film. We talked about what we would have...

Hey there Snobbies! This pick is from Cody this week and he chose to interpret the “Rings” part of PUT A RING ON IT and little more loosely than Caleb. This film comes to us from legendary director, Denis Villeneuve and this film truly rules. Complete with an emotional beginning, mysterious middle, and very interesting ending. We talk about time travel of the mind, tragedy, incredible soundtracks,...

Welcome to another new topic where we decided to talk about “Putting a Ring on It.” Today’s pick comes from Caleb and is an Australian film. This film comes from Writer & Director P.J. Hogan and is called, “Muriel’s Wedding.” We had a real blast with this one. Caleb and Eric have a few games that the snobs play along with, we talk about being lonely, purpose in life, outgrowing your childhood...

SNOBBIES! It’s the end of the Spooky season! It hardly seems that the time is here. It feels like it had just begun. But this week we have Jared’s pick for Spooktober V and he chose a film that has been on our spooky lists for years. A film cloaked in darkness and creepy imagery. A film directed by the great Werner Herzog, “Nosferatu the Vampyre.” Joining us on this trip is JOHNNY P! We are so hap...

Hey everyone, this week we have Caleb’s pick for SPOOKTOBER! This pick comes to us from director Alejandro Amenábar and is “The Others.” This film is very hard to talk about without spoiling the film, but it takes place in 1945 at the end of the war where we find Nicole Kidman giving some new caretakers the tour of the house before giving them the job. The film gets very interesting when her daugh...

SPOOOOOOOOOOOKTOBER is still here! Today is Eric’s pick and he chose to pick a film that is a callback from Episode 1 of The Film Snobs, and we only talked about it for 15 minutes. A film that deserves hours of conversation, directed by Na Hong-jin, “The Wailing.” This film is NOT for the faint of heart. A film that delves into the supernatural and the demonic. WE really crack this film open. Gues...

Snobbies. WELCOME to SPOOKTOBER number 5!! We are really excited to bring these films to you. This is a SPOOOOOOOOKY time of year and this weeks pick is brought to you from Cody as Caleb is out of the country. A film that Cody said his Great-Grandfather played a minor role in, a film directed by Robert Florey, “The Beast with Five Fingers.” 1946 brings a star performance by legendary actor Peter L...

A thing happened and a Founding Snob would like to have a warm word with you Snobbies. Enjoy.

Welcome to the FEVER DREAMS!! Snobbies, this week’s pick comes to you from Eric’s mind. This pick features ET’s Henry Thomas and is directed by directors Brian Trenchard-Smith & Russell Hagg, “The Quest” or also called “Frog Dreaming.” This film was a big split. Some of the snobs liked it and one snob definitely did not like it. A film about a child who wants to find the mysterious truth behin...

Snobbies. This pick was LEGENDARY. Here me. LEGENDARY. Today we have Cody’s pick for Childhood fever dreams and we have PLENTY to talk about. Cody’s guest CAMBELL joins us on the pod and he was a blast.

WE ARE HERE!! This topic is a bit of a trip! We have decided to do Childhood Fever Dreams! Films that we watched when we were young and barely remember the details. This episode’s pick is Caleb’s pick and he picked a truly unwatchable film, "Summer of the Monkeys." haha. We couldn’t find it for rent, buy, or stream. It was only on Youtube in 10 parts with part 4 missing, haha. WE REALLY...
