Good Day for a Movie Podcast

In the most random and chaotic episode in any podcast's history, we review 2012's Seven Psychopaths starring Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, and Christopher Walken. The only thing that you really need to know from this description is that we made a critical error from the very beginning and didn't fix it until after we gave scores. We apologize but we eventually did realize the mista...

In this episode, Jacob sends Tate and Sage to the movie unexpectedly. In an episode that features our most chaotic and shortest pre-review, we talk a long time about 2021's Belfast starring Jude Hill, Lewis McAskie, Caitriona Balfe, Jamie Dornan, Dame Judi Dench, and Ciarán Hinds. We attempt to explain some background knowledge about 'The Troubles' aka the Catholic-Protestant conflicts in Northern...

In this episode, we have our first return guest, Kaden! Before we get into the episode, Jacob has an inside scoop after meeting Bob Saget, regarding the movie Dirty Work and Norm MacDonald. We finally get into the pick which was Japan's 2000's Battle Royale. This movie inspired many pop-culture works including The Hunger Games, Fortnite, and more.  This movie was directed by Kinji Fukasaku. G...

Tate went off the wall for his pick by his standards by picking a popular movie. We review 1986's The Color of Money starring Paul Newman, Tom Cruise, and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio. We talk about the best sounds in sports, cover the plot, acting, and Sage and Jacob put their "real critic" glasses on and attempt to talk about editing. A cuckoo clock also goes off at some point.  This movie w...

On this episode of GD4AM, Sage picks 1986's Castle in the Sky, our second Hayao Miyazaki movie of the podcast. We discuss the story, voice acting, take a quick trip down Jim Cumming's illustrious career, and much more. Quick editor's note here - if you are hesitant to watch Japanese animation or more high-level animation, it is this podcast's opinion that this movie is a great starting point. This...

We are back to weekly picks and the top of the order. This week we review another 2021 movie but this time, it’s Jacob’s turn and he picks CODA. Tate and Jacob absolutely adored this movie while Sage had a few hang-ups. We broke down some of those issues, talked about the emotional moments in the movie, including the moments that made us tear up, and much more. This movie was directed by Sian Hede...

The moment is finally here! Denis Villeneuve's adaptation has arrived and we really get into this one. Long-time listeners of this podcast know that Sage convinced Jacob and Tate to read the first book by the time the movie came out. Before we get into the review, we break down the situation of Tate ghosting Jacob and Sage the night before. Then we get into the meat of this thing. Jacob came prepa...

Sage is still traversing the Pacific Northwest and was unable to watch this week's movie, so, unfortunately, you only get to enjoy his dulcet tones for a few minutes in this episode. Before we let Sage go, we get a quick temperature check on the excitement level all three hosts are at for the release of Dune, and a bet is made. When Tate and Jacob finally get into the review of the movie proper, J...

In our second 2021 special of the month, we review the finale of Daniel Craig's James Bond feature, No Time To Die. Before we get into the review of the movie we run through our history with the Bond franchise. Once we get into the review, we discuss whether or not the main reason for the quick delay of this movie, over a year ago, was because the plot circles around a bioweapon and they thought t...

In this 2021 Special, Tate and Jacob invite the host of the Podcast of the Whills and Heroes of the MomCU, Nick, to give credibility to the discussion and review of both The Sopranos and 2021's Sopranos prequel, Many Saints of Newark. In the first part of the episode, Nick gives his pitch as to why everybody should watch The Sopranos series with Jacob adding in here and there. Jacob hops in to giv...

We're going to shake things up a bit in the month of October. There are so many big movies coming out this month so in lieu of us making picks, we're going to review a new movie every week. In this episode, Tate and Jacob discuss the upcoming review slate and the movies that just missed our review cut.  Upcoming review schedule: 10/11 - Many Saints of Newark 10/18 - No Time to Die 10/25 - The...

We promised you a listener's choice episode four weeks ago on social media. We deliver, while late, still deliver. Listener Nate submitted 2014's Birdman starring Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, and Emma Stone. Jacob and Sage spend most of the episode trying to come to grips and actually get a score for the movie. Tate had already seen this movie and enjoyed it the first watch so gets to explain th...

We are totally and completely off the rails in the first part of the episode. So either apologies or you're welcome. Tate finally makes the pick of Before Sunset, the 2nd movie in the Before Trilogy. We try to talk about mature conversations but seeing as all three co-hosts are not mature, the conversation is not mature. Jacob does make an intelligent sentence at one point that just so happened to...

In this episode, Sage chooses a movie that will more than likely mess him up for the foreseeable future, 2004's Million Dollar Baby. Sage and Jacob team up against Tate to try to convince him that a certain part of this movie is realistic and shouldn't impact the "enjoyment" of the film overall. We also talk about Hilary Swank's all-time acting performances, Morgan Freeman's narration ability, and...

In Jacob's next movie pick, he proves that John Candy was indeed a real actor and not just a figment of his imagination. To do this, Jacob has to take us back to 1987 in John Hughes slapstick comedy, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, or as Sage would like to call it, Planes, Trains and Mostly Automobiles. In this review, the boys cover all of the comedic highlights from the movie and the heartfelt...

Welcome to our second edition of our Listener's Choi.....well, that was what this episode was supposed to be. We couldn't all get together in time to review a movie and record so you are stuck with Jacob and Sage. We talk about our favorite TV shows, movies, perfect fast food meal, SPORTS, streaming services, vacations, unpopular opinions, and then get into our preview of the movies to come in the...

In probably the most hectic opening of this podcast, Tate finally lands on 1995's, Before Sunrise, the first movie in the Before trilogy. The dichotomy between optimism and pessimism is astounding throughout the majority of the review. We get into the use of silence, why dialogue-heavy movies work so well for one co-host and why one hates it, and we attempt to answer the question, what is love? Ba...

In what turns out to be the most divisive movie in this podcast's history, Sage picks Shaolin Soccer, a 2001 action/comedy/Martial Arts film. Jacob is flabbergasted when the movie was first announced and that flabbergast didn't really end once the review starts. Tate and Sage break down the funniest moments for them while Jacob highlights why this movie didn't quite work for him. This movie was di...

Inspired by the Chicago White Sox, more about them later, and the New York Yankees, playing a game IN IOWA AT THE FIELD OF DREAMS!!!!!, Jacob has picked the Kevin Costner classic, from 1989, Field of Dreams. Jacob gets to discuss what baseball means to him, we get into Sage's Petty American Cheese Problem of the week, and Tate thinks Ray Liotta played "Shoeless" Bob, not "Shoeless" Joe Jackson. Th...

In this very special episode, we review two 2021 movies. We start with the Anthony Bourdain documentary, Roadrunner. We talk about how and why Anthony Bourdain had such a cult following, why a tire company rates restaurants, and some of the missteps this documentary could have made. We then review the travesty that is M. Night Shyamalan's newest movie, Old. This movie stunk. And not in a good, fun...

Wow! 50 episodes released! Thank you all for listening along the way! It has been an absolute blast! Thank you to everybody who has come on the podcast as well, including our latest guest Katharine! This week we review Ex Machina, starring Alicia Vikander, Oscar Isaac, and Domhnall Gleeson. We get into how scary a thought A.I. can be, what we love about this movie and many moral questions about ev...

This week, Tate claims that the boys have been reviewing too many movies in the '90s and wants to bring us back down to earth a bit with 2020's Uncle Frank, starring Paul Bettany. We discuss why this film just didn't quite hit the mark for us, where it could have maybe been better, the few aspects that we actually did enjoy, and John Candy. P.S. If you don't know who John Candy is - Jacob won't be...

This week we review 2006's Children of Men. This movie ends up getting big-time positive reviews from all three hosts. In this episode, we get into the religious allegory, Jacob puts his Catholic hat on and reads a few passages from The Bible, Tate didn't like the reveal, and our anonymous third co-host feels pretty happy for picking a good movie. It's another long one but hopefully filled with in...

THE MCU IS BACK! Our anonymous third co-host is not though. We have called in our Superhero Correspondent, Kayle Lowdermilk once again! Sure the MCU has been back on Disney+ for the last few months, and we cover those shows in the first half. This was recorded before the season finale of Loki. After the quick thoughts on the three Disney+ movies, we finally get to reviewing 2021's first entry and...

In this hungover episode, Jacob picks 2014's What We Do in the Shadows. In the last episode description and the actual episode, we talked about recording remotely. This wasn't true. This episode is in person! However, it is the last one for the foreseeable future. Back to the episode, the intro is one of the most low-energy segments in podcast history, like all podcasts, not just ours. This was al...
