New Year, New (actually, just the same) Rommies! After a brief (horny?) holiday hiatus, the Rommies are back for their next Festival run, and this year they’re kicking things off with Matt’s first pick. Listen in as they dive into this nearly 30-year-old, lo-fi sci-fi joint that somehow seems more timely/relevant than ever. Finally, be sure to stick around until the very end for a brief biology le...

When it came time to wrap up the Horny Summer run, it only felt right to select a film where a) Glen Powell spends nearly the entire run time trying to hook up, and b) the movie literally ends as a new school year is starting. Join the Rommies for one final, crazy weekend full of booze, baseball, weed, parties, and summer.

When the Rommies’ partners go away for the summer, they soon realize they need a new outlet for their horniness, and what better way than to road trip to the beach with a cousin-in-law?? Listen in as they dive into Alfonso Cuarón’s masterpiece, which may be the horniest and summeriest (and saddest) film of the entire run.

After taking some time off in Somewhere In The Indian Ocean, the Rommies return to the sumptuous locales of the Mediterranean to have a romantic summer fling with their one true love: a peach. Join them as they discuss one of the horniest Best Picture nominees in recent memory (that unfortunately lost to the not-nearly-as-horny movie where Sally Hawkins fucks a fish instead of a fruit).

What’s hornier/summerer than a mustachioed Anthony Edwards singing about great [big] balls, playing [the most homoerotic game of beach volleyball ever committed to film] with the boys, or [finding] that lovin’ feelin’ for your teacher? Why, the American Military-Industrial Complex of course! Join the Rommies as they talk about the planes going vroom (and also how they wish Top Gun: Maverick was ev...

(In honor of Horny Holidays, the Rommies have decided to open the vault and release the Horny Summer archives. Merry Festivus and/or Happy Chrismukkah, Listener!) After the Rommies get everyone they know to come to a beautiful Greek island for their wedding, they simply have no choice but to try and determine who their father is by getting horned up to ABBA songs. Is it still so nice? Is it still...

When the patron saints of Horny Summer (Glen Powell, tornadoes) team up for a new movie, you GOTTA know the Rommies are gonna be there to cover it! Join them for a whirlwind discussion about how this legacyquel updates and/or rehashes the original, the absolute joy of a dumb (but well-made) summer blockbuster, and the complete and utter failure of this movie not being even remotely horny. Plus, Ma...

After a fairly chaste school year, the Rommies decide to try and have a horny summer by moving into their dying dad’s fully automated domicile (a SMART HOUSE, if you will) which is conveniently located across the street from their crush. At first, their plan works! They are able to spend quality time (both in and out of the shower) with their crush, and their dad even starts getting into the horny...

While the rest of the world transitioned from Pop Girl Spring to Brat Summer and now to Moo Deng Autumn, the Rommies are holding fast to Horny Summer with this fresh, hot-off-the-presses (i.e., recorded many months ago back when it actually WAS summer) new episode! Listen in as they praise early-career Kathryn Bigelow’s directing chops, debate whose is the real love story of the movie, and wonder...

Hop into your time machine and join the Rommies (and another returning special guest!) as they keep the Horny Summer party going, but this time with a little ancient Egyptian flair. Listen in as they discuss this film’s place in the action/adventure genre lineage (and Millennial culture in general), try to determine the logistics of Desert Voldemort “inheriting” certain body parts from his foes du...

After having so much fun discussing horny in their Challengers episode, the Rommies decided to keep up the heat for the next run of the pob: Horny Summer! And what better way to kick off the new season than to welcome back a returning guest with strong horny summer bonafides to talk about this 90s classic. Listen in as they analyze the feminist themes, share harrowing real-life tornado encounters,...

After getting to the end of the Road to 100, the Rommies weren’t sure which road to go down next. However, once they all saw Horny Tennis: The Movie, they knew they had a (temporary, at least) answer! Join them for this emergency pob as they discuss all of the things that make this one of the most exciting films of the year, debate where this falls in the Luca Guadagnino oeuvre, and do some live-o...

As they approached their 100th episode, the Rommies began feeling ill at ease, like they were conscious, but it was themselves that they were conscious of. Luckily, there was no undertone of violence, but they still weren’t quite sure What They Were Pob For. Finally, after some soul searching with a touch of interdimensional hijinks, they realized that They’re Just Pob, and that’s Pobnough. At tha...

In the final episode of both their Unconventional Trilogy series and the Road To 100, the Rommies take a look at this Hungarian Planet of the Apes spin-off. Listen in as they discuss the similarities (“Humans do be dumb.”) and differences (literally everything else) between Caesar and Hagen’s stories.

Sliding in just under the wire while still just a trilogy, the Rommies set aside their somewhat irrational anger at the naming convention switch to dive into the final entry of Caesar’s story. Listen in as they discuss how effectively Andy Serkis, Matt Reeves, and co. wrap up the reimagined Apes arc, rank the films of the series (the results of which may surprise you!), and consider where the seri...

For the next episode of their Unconventional Trilogies series, the Rommies are joined by an extra special guest to discuss the next entry in the PotA reimagining saga. Listen in as they highlight all of the ways this film leveled up from Really Good Popcorn Flick™️ to Legitimately Great Cinema™️, point out several surprisingly apt references to other movie franchises from Star Wars to Fast & Furio...

The Rommies begin the final entry in their Unconventional Trilogies run with the first film in the Caesar Trilogy. Listen in as they discuss all of the things that make this so much better than it had any right being, worship at the altar of Mo-Cap God Andy Serkis, and spend WAY too much time trying to decipher the geographic accuracy (or, perhaps more appropriately, inaccuracy) of the Bay Area as...

In both a spiritual sequel to the Cornetto Trilogy (stylized genre comedy) and a spiritual sequel to the Frozen short film episode of the pob (Tierney wants silly vibes but Matt and Collin take the assignment WAY too seriously), the Rommies reconvene for the next episode of their Unconventional Trilogy run. Listen in as they ostensibly discuss Matthew Vaughn’s second entry in his Kingsman franchis...

Years after a failed attempt at recording a pobcass, the Rommies return to their respective home studios to finally finish what they started: talking about the Cornetto Trilogy. Listen in as they try to work through complicated feelings about this film in comparison to the other two, make wild (but maybe not actually that wild?) connections to Lord of the Rings, and fulfill their obligation to nev...

Continuing their run of Unconventional Trilogies, the Rommies return to spoofy ol’ England for a quick bite of Classico Cornetto. Join them as they discuss all of the recurring bits, visual gags, and references to the first film in an otherwise unconnected sequel, and stick around as Matt drops an extremely controversial James Bond take, Tierney considers a hypothetical gluten AND dairy free Corne...

For the next segment of their Unconventional Trilogies series, the Rommies turn their attention to the first entry in Tierney’s selection of the iconic genre(s) spoofing Cornetto Trilogy. Listen in as they do a complete 180 away from the quiet, dramatic stylings of Dickie Links into the visual flair and comedic genius of Edgar Wright, and stick around as they try to determine which of them could s...
