Episodes

Apocalypse Now (1979) 06.07.2026

The horror. The horror! The horror of David's audio in this episode is beyond compare (so apologies in advance). As Chris and Mikey respectfully are in their home offices, David took it upon himself to attempt to participate straight from Bar25 NBPT in Newburyport, MA. The legend is that the bar took that name based on the maximum age of the females Grandpa David creepily tries to meet their o...

One Battle After Another (2025) 27.05.2026

This podcast first covered a Paul Thomas Anderson film back in September 2024. It took us over a year and a half to go back to PTA for a second time. It's taken us only a month (and one day) to go back to him for a third time as Mikey, Chris and Dave discuss the 2025 Academy Award winner for Best Picture, One Battle After Another . But we didn't need to call in a Grey Hawk 10 - because we...

Collateral (2004) 20.05.2026

Yo homie, do you like podcasts? You must, since you're here right now reading these words! And that works out because Chris, Dave and Mikey are back again covering another Michael Mann movie where guns are a plenty. Yes, the boys are talking the 2004 Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx romantic comedy Collateral . You have to wonder, Mikey just called this movie a romantic comedy - think anybody will notic...

Hell or High Water (2016) 11.05.2026

Howdy, folks. Mikey here. I have a question for you. What don't you want? You're here for a podcast talking about movies, so either you don't want Dave to not podcast while people are in the room - or you don't what Chris to not not be surprised when Dave never hears of a movie. I think I got that double and triple negative right. So podcast listener, what don't you want? You d...

There Will Be Blood (2007) 27.04.2026

Ladies and gentlemen… We've taken a few weeks since our last episode to be here tonight. We couldn't get away sooner because Mikey edits the podcasts and he's not one of those podcasters you're who'll rush the pod through so he can get another to you just as quick as he can. This is… the way that this works. But finally, Mikey finished the job and is here with Chris and Dave to...

Beverly Hills Cop (1984) 08.04.2026

Spring has sprung and with it finally a brand new episode of Fine Movies. Fine Spirits! Today, Chris and Mikey are joined by Dave and whoever else is within arms reach of Dave in his living room as the boys discuss the Eddie Murphy classic, Beverly Hills Cop . 

Léon: The Professional (1994) 18.03.2026

Sometimes it's known as " Léon: The Professional, " sometimes "The Professional" and sometimes just "Léon" - but whatever you call it - and I think we call it all of the above - today Mikey, Dave and Chris are back to talk about this 1994 Luc Besson action thriller. But don't worry, we don't ignore that Luc Besson might be a bit of (or more than a bit of) a cree...

Young Frankenstein (1974) 23.02.2026

If you're blue, and did not know that a podcast about movies could be so fine...talking Young Frankenstein . We sure hope you sang that correctly. But either way - as long as you listen to Mikey, Chris and Dave discuss this 1974 Mel Brooks classic, in our book you're...Super duper.

Uncut Gems (2019) 05.02.2026

If you wanna go quickly, do it alone. But if ya wanna go far, you do it - together. And today, Mikey, Dave, and Chris are together to discuss the frantic Adam Sandler starring crime/drama, Uncut Gems . But just how Sandler's character can never settle - this movie could not settle and live with just three hosts as we are joined by another Dave who is a long time listener and friend of the show...

Stand By Me (1986) 29.01.2026

Can we still say, "Happy New Year?" I mean it is the first time Chris, Mikey and Dave are here in 2026 so we think it still applies. And we are indeed happy to be back and talking about a movie that turns forty years old this year! A movie that celebrates friendship, childhood, while we also take time to celebrate the late, great Rob Reiner - as today we discuss his classic Stephen King ad...

Poddersville X: “It’s A Wonderful...Farewell?” 25.12.2025

Merry Christmas, movie fans! Chris, Dave and Mikey are back one last time this year! One last time this Christmas! And...one last time talking about ⁠the movie that started it all for this podcast⁠ ? So finish up opening the presents, talk to the family members and get that over with. The football games stink today - so after you do all that required stuff - you can sit back and listen another won...

8-Bit Christmas (2021) 10.12.2025

It's time to kick-off the Christmas season as Dave, Chris and Mikey go back to the magical decade of the 1980s to reminisce about the holidays, friends, family - and video games - as the boys talk about what they all think could and should be considered a modern classic, the 2021 HBO Max original film, 8-Bit Christmas .

Happy Thanksgiving everybody! David, Chris and Mikey are back this Thanksgiving morning to return to a movie they first discussed four years ago to the day that they recorded this episode! Yes today as you spend time with your family, turn off the football game and turn on your podcast app as the boys revisit the 1987 John Hughes classic, " Planes, Trains & Automobiles !" It truly is t...

All the President's Men (1976) 17.11.2025

Forget the myths the media's created about the this podcast. The truth is, these are not very bright guys, but they do love movies - and today Chris, Mikey and Dave are paying tribute to late great Robert Redford as they discuss the 1976 classic, All the President's Men - starring Redford and Dustin Hoffman. And as you probably already guessed - Dave wins at liking this movie more than the...

Weapons (2025) 31.10.2025

Happy Halloween! On this the last day of October, Chris, Mikey and Dave close out Spooky Season with a big one as we discuss the 2025 Zach Cregger horror film, Weapons ! This is our second Cregger movie , and while it's a good bet we'll be talking about his movies for many more years, please remember one thing...Don't cross the salt line.

The Omen (1976) 28.10.2025

Here is wisdom. Let him (or her) that hath understanding count another episode of this podcast; for it is a Spooky Season episode; and the episode is on the 197666 horror classic, The Omen !

Strange Darling (2023) 24.10.2025

Here, kitty kitty! Spooky Season rolls on as today Chris, Mikey & Dave hide their eyes while talking about the 2023 thriller/suspense/horror(?) film, Strange Darling ! While there is a discussion about whether or not the movie could be classified as horror, you can damn well bet that if what happened in this movie happened to you - you'd be pretty horrified!

The Cabin in the Woods (2011) 14.10.2025

It's official! Spooky Season is here!

And when you're done listening to this, go check out Chris' Halloween Playlist on Spotify . But ONLY after you're done listening to this.

Donnie Darko (2001) 02.10.2025

Thirty-six years ago today Donnie Darko saved the world. At least that's what some of us figured out. A few of us need to watch this movie again. And again. And then again. Dave was the newbie this time around, and while Mikey has seen it before, he definitely did not pick up on things that Chris mentioned - and thankfully Chris' brother Greg returned to the show to be the Darko expert! Ho...

The Breakfast Club (1985) 22.09.2025

Fall is in the air! And as we are well into September, kids have summer in the rearview mirror as they're well into the new school year - and what better way to celebrate the return to school than with one of the quintessential teen movies of our childhood? Join Dave, Chris and Mikey as we sit in a circle in the library during Saturday detention and talk about the 1985 John Hughes high school...

Kingpin (1996) 06.09.2025

The craft of bowling has never been taken more seriously than in the latest fine movie that Chris, Mikey and Dave are talking about in this episode as they cover the 1996 Farrelly Brothers comedy classic, Kingpin . And get this - Kingpin is the 100th Fine Movie the boys talk about and they completely forgot to mention it when recording it. They were probably too distracted by the fact that Dave wa...

Reservoir Dogs (1992) 11.08.2025

If you happen to be sitting in the uncomfortable seat on a train or airplane right now - and maybe you have a clown to the left of you, and a joker to the right - please know that we feel your pain and we will be here - stuck in the middle with you - for an entire podcast episode. That joke felt okay when Mikey wrote it, but now he's not so sure. Either way, he's too lazy to go back and ch...

Celebrating JAWS at 50! 17.07.2025

Four years ago ( almost to the day! ), Mike, Chris and Dave discussed one of their favorite movies of all time - JAWS - but they never were quite satisfied with that discussion (maybe because part of the show had Dave talking from his car). So today, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this classic film - the boys are back in the water with a sequel to the original podcast, that includes a specia...
