Hey James, Watch This!

Send us Fan Mail Episode Ninety-Four: Assassin 33 A.D. (2020) The boys have finally done it. It took ninety-four episodes, but they finally broke James. If you haven't heard of it by now, you should have. This is the movie with no audience in mind. It's a faith-based picture where Islamic terrorists create a time machine so they can go back in time and cap Jesus, but worry not -- there&a...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Ninety-Three: Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020) Actors forced to sing. Is there any more hellish fate than the musical? Maybe trying to convince James to watch one is worse. It seems like it's been ages since Stuck , hasn't it? The boys are back from vacation, and they've brought Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams in the best tribute to Eur...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Ninety: Stuck (2017) The wheel wishes to punish us. It craves musicals. This one has Giancarlo Esposito in it, and it's certainly a musical. Beyond that, the boys are even further out of their (already tenuous) element. While Rent is a modern adaptation of La Bohème set against the background of the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the early 90's in Manhattan, Stuck is about...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Eighty-Nine: Psychokinesis (2018) 염력 (2018) The wheel has spoken -- it's foreign (foreign) action! Accordingly, the boys have gone as far from the States as possible -- South Korea. It's a superhero movie that hits some realistic beats that the standard Marvel staples tend to miss, but will that be good -- and foreign -- enough for James? What even makes a real...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Eighty-Eight: Ready or Not (2019) James didn't want to see The Hunt , so Russ and Frye have gone back to the ol' Most Dangerous Game well. They're still hunting people this week, but this one has slightly less politics. Samara Weaving -- who is definitely not Margot Robbie -- gets to dust off her best wedding dress and brightest yellow Chuck Taylors so she c...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Eighty-Seven: The Hunt (2019) The Wheel has spoken. It's horror, and it's Frye's least-favorite film genre. Surprisingly, we might've found one he enjoys! Unfortunately, it doesn't matter if Frye likes it or not -- we've got to convince James that he likes it.  Betty Gilpin and Hilary Swank lead our cast in hunting The Most Dangerous Game. If...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Eighty-Six: All the Old Knives (2022) It's Chris Pine! It's Thandie Newton! It's Jonathan Pryce! It's Laurence Fishburne! They're all spies, but who's the mole? It's definitely one of them, and it takes a whole movie for them to tell us who's guilty. The Wheel commanded us to do a thriller, so we made it a spy thriller. Tinker Tailor...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Eighty-Five: Mythica: A Quest for Heroes  (2014) How do all the most stereotypical D&D campaigns start? They met in a tavern. And indeed they do in Mythica -- a movie we chose because James said he wanted fantasy. It so happens that we know JUST the kind of fantasy that James likes. Funded by Kickstarter, this is the most labor-of-love movie based on D&D you'l...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Eighty-Four: Moonfall (2022) James didn't request this one -- Russ demanded it. The Master of Disaster Roland Emmerich is back to his usual nonsense. For a man who has destroyed the entire world at least five times, what's left to do but drop the whole moon out of the sky? If you saw Independence Day , Godzilla , The Day After Tomorrow , 2012 , AND Independence D...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Eighty-Three: Reminiscence (2021) Last week's theft just wasn't good enough, was it? We just had to find another thief, didn't we? Well, fine then. This week you get Hugh Jackman at his wettest. As if Miami wasn't already miserable enough, writer and director Lisa Joy has to go and flood the place for her neo-noir yarn. James isn't satisfied with s...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Eighty-Two: Windfall (2022) This week James thirsted for theft, thieves, thievishness, and the boys very nearly delivered. Lily Collins, Jason Segel, and Jesse Plemons round out almost the entire cast of this cringeworthy attempt at burglary-turned-hostage dramedy. Will this flick be enough to staunch James's hunger for MORE, or will Russ and Frye be cracking another...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Eighty-One: The World of Kanako (2014) 渇き (2014) CW - descriptions of cinematic sexual assault This week James wanted thievery, but Russ wasn't done with unlikeable protagonists. Accordingly, he brought in Kōji Yakusho, Nana Komatsu, and director Tetsuya Nakashima to do his dirty work. While there might be one or two instances of thievery in this movie, there are mu...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Eighty: Steve Jobs (2015) This week James wanted his protagonists unlikeable. Is anyone more unlikable than America's favorite middle manager turned CEO? We might end up speaking ill of the dead on this episode, if this Aaron Sorkin-penned biopic isn't lying. Is it better to be liked? Would a narcissist even care? James is about to find out.  Logo design by: http...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Seventy-Nine: Tracers (2015) James wasn't satisfied with last week's parkour offering, so the boys have to watch more parkour. Fortunately we have the mighty squint of Taylor Lautner to lead us this week. What's better than an organized crime ring? A parkour-themed organized crime ring! Perhaps this will satisfy James so we can stop watching people needlessl...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Seventy-Eight: Freerunner  (2011) James wanted a movie about parkour. As it turns out, there are lots of movies about parkour! As it also turns out, Frye has continued his long-standing tradition of choosing a real winner. Thrill to the tale of billionaires betting small fortunes on the outcome of an especially hoppy footrace around a city. Will the boys be able to slip on...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Seventy-Seven: Tolkien (2019) We're still not doing Victorian England. This week it's a bunch of schoolboys and Edwardian England. One of these schoolboys might've grown up to become one of the most beloved and influential authors of the English language, but you're going to watch him throughout his youthful shenanigans. Nicholas Hoult returns as everyo...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Seventy-Six: The Current War (2017) It's a point of pride, friends. If we're tasked with period pieces, we're definitely not doing Victorian England. Perhaps that's to our detriment. This week we're talking about the late 1800s in the good ol' USA when rich white men threw electricity at other rich white men. This is Edison vs Westinghouse vs...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Seventy-Five: The Dinosaur Project (2012) James wasn't happy with the dinosaurs that Jurassic Hunt had to offer, so maybe he'll be happier with this found-footage flick direct from the UK. We never would've believed that one could cram so much cryptozoology into one movie, but this picture proved how mistaken we were. The SFX budget is also higher than last...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Seventy-Four: Jurassic Hunt (2021) An intrepid listener out there requested dinosaurs, and it just so happens that James loves dinosaurs! This movie is contractually obligated to tell you that it isn't affiliated with the Jurassic Park / Jurassic World franchise at all, but that won't stop it from heavily implying otherwise. Marvel at an SFX budget that's hi...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Seventy-Three: They Call Me Jeeg (2015) Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot James wants more obscure superheroes? Well, then it's off to Italy! James gets to find out everything there is to know about the best Italian superhero that's a tribute to a Japanese manga/anime. Are grounded superhero stories better? Is this story even grounded? Do we need another superhero movie?...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Seventy-Two: Hentai Kamen (2013) HK 変態仮面 Obscure superheroes? Don't mind if we do! James gets to learn all about the most perverted superhero this side of a mankini. It's not the most surprising thing that this panty-faced movie comes from Japan, and we'll find out why. It also doesn't hurt that Ryohei Suzuki is easy on the eyes.  Logo design by: ht...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Seventy-One: Greed (2019) James wanted satire, so James gets satire.  The boys find themselves dealing with the Brits again -- specifically Steve Coogan, David Mitchell, Dinita Gohil, and director Michael Winterbottom. Does power corrupt? Is money the root of all evil? It's a hard time for satire, but this movie tries its best. Logo design by: https://www.fiverr.com/i...

Send us Fan Mail Episode Seventy: Survivor (2015) Happy 2022! We're just as surprised as you are that we've made it this far. This is a long one, because there's a lot of unnecessary movie to discuss. The boys are off to London to ring in the new year with Pierce Brosnan, Milla Jovovich, Roger Rees, and director James McTeigue. It's called Survivor , but we have no idea why. We...
