Is It for Reel

Our brave podcasters rest their weary bones after a crazy 2020 to have the annual Is It for Reel Holiday Party.  They brought their plus ones and their egg nog and guess what?  You're invited too!!!  So grab your drink of choice, light a fire in ye olde fire place and settle in for a fun game of movie review trivia.  

As we read all of our fan mail from this year we realized every single one said "Record a commentary track for A Very Country Christmas so we can listen to it while we watch A Very Country Christmas.  Also are the dog barks in the podcast real or is that just radio magic?"  Seriously every single one said that.  So that's what we did.  Load up the old netflix and hit play when we tell you to then...

When the weather outside is frightful and the fire is so delightful, it's time to wish your parents away, do some minor credit card fraud, and build a murder house.  That's right our loyal podders are talking about Home Alone 2: The One in New York.  So bust out your talkboy and befriend a bird lady.  Kevin!!!!!!

Our podcasters have decided to celebrate the holidays for real.  That means breaking out the classic telling of a Christmas Carol. No not that one, or that one.  We're talking about Scrooged.  So gather your skull mice, your glitter targets, and your dog ghosts.  Crank it to 11 and get ready for Scrooged!!

Just when you think Gremlins can't giveth anymore, it giveths a Bonus Episode.  Our three podders sit down with one of the actual creature creators/puppeteers from the movie.  It's movie magic, Gremlins style!

What the hell was that?  I don't know but here it comes again!!! It's our first sequel.  What??!!!  We survived Gremlins 1 so our brave heroes are diving into Gremlins 2: The New Batch.  So get ready for Bizarro Trump, fake and real Munsters, the great debate of twins v. clones, and literally anything else you can imagine.  It's Gremlins 2, y'all!!!  

The Dream continues!! In fact, it will never end.  Enjoy this little bonus track from our very own Katie L.  

It's the 30th episode so our brave companions decided to look through the looking glass.  You know what they saw?  Two Correys, Patton Oswalt's Wife, the angriest little bully, and some Bob Fosse Steam Heat.  Buckle up! You might find yourself a little bit altered after watching this one.   

It's the holiday season and we are all stuck at home so our very literal podcasters decided to watch Home for The Holidays.  This Baltimore original will help us discover if turkey is a good makeout food, how long we could stand being locked in an elevator with Robert Downey Jr., and of course who the hell is Dermott McRollme.  Listen and find out.  

Our brave podcasters once again dive into the ghoulish spirit of Halloween.  This time with Tim Burton's Beetlejuice.  Will they ever find out why covered bridges are covered, where is Harry Belafonte from, or if Michael Keaton is actually even in this movie.  Say it with me: Betelgeuse, Beetlejuice, Pamplemousse!

Be sure to wind up your crazy crank, because we watched Return to Oz.  Strap on your wheelies, pick out your favorite head to wear, and probably drop some acid because this is going to be a wild ride.  Gumps, knick knack shops, and electroshock therapy. Oh my!!

Pop quiz, Hot shots!!!! What would win in a race, an elevator, a bus, or a subway? Well we're going to find out because we're talking about Speed this week.   Our brave podcasters have their bus passes ready, their bangs styled, and their pedals to the freaking metal.  Speed!!!!!!!!!!! 

To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream.  Yup we've all passed out and are having the same beer induced fever dream.  It's Strange Brew!!!  Prepare yourselves for Karate Lawyers, Sweaty Uncles, and the Bechdel Approved Canadien Tuxedoes.  All of which was in the original Hamlet this movie is based upon.  Enjoy!!!

Strap yourselves in as we've got a doozy (lengthy) of a podcast for ya.  But that's what it takes to parse the grammar of Look Who's Talking, find that crafty McGuffin, and figure out the Je ne sais quoi of Kirstie Alley's voice.  It's a wild ride and we hope you enjoy!

Our brave podcasters have emerged from their Cryo-goo ready to take whatever the future has to throw at them.  And the future of Demolition Man isn't holding back.  So get ready for some Taco Bell, Seashells, and tactical berets, oh my! Uno, dos, tres, vamanos!!!!

It's back to school time!  You know what that means: basketball, dances, and turning into a werewolf and surfing on a car!!! You know, regular old high school stuff.  So join our intrepid podcasters, throw on your dick nose t-shirt and howl at the moon!!!!!!!!

It's the second leg in the famed Beverly Hills trilogy and our intrepid podders are ready for action (even if one drank too much cherry schnapps).  We've loaded up on bananas, practiced our laugh, and programmed the jukebox to play Axel F on repeat.  Beverly Hills Cop!!!!!!

It's the dog days of summer, so our Poders (poddies?) jump into the wilds of Wiscaligan to experience The Great Outdoors. Will they survive trash pandas, killer bears, giant steaks, and even dumpster bears? If so they might just get a vacation girlfriend and and a chance to kiss Canada's oldest man (seriously, where does this movie take place). 

It's once more into the breach, dear friends. Our podding adventurers jump into a battle of good and evil, light and dark, teenage hormones and the lives of unicorns.  Will we be seduced by the dark side or will we finally call PETA to report unicorn abuse.  So strap on your headphones, Sit!!! or stand and find out. 

The creature goes by many names: Tata Duende, Sasquatch, Bigfoot, Harry!? What!!! Our brave heroes go in for a long hug with this lovable giant.  Will they be blinded by greed like a typical French Canadian or will they learn to love.  If you love something set it free and slap it right in the face!!!

Our Brave Podcasters have their sashes on and are ready for some off brand girl scouting.  Will they persevere and make it to the jamboree or end up the victim to an unbalanced scout master.  Let's find out.  It's Cookie Time!!!

I hope our brave podcasters brought their shampoo and conditioner, because they are diving into the salty sea and there is no land in site.  Will they succumb to stringy sea hair or will they find the blow out salon on the tanker of terror?

Grab your oars and get to clapping, because this week our brave listeners go in search of a whale, a whale named willy who needs to be free.  Bridget, Katie, and Phillip put on their water wings and dive into the deep end of this rescue.  Can they avoid street punks, Michael Ironside's death stares, or flashbacks to Blackfish?  Or will they find unexpected romance?  Listen to find out!

Who to trust, who to kill?  That is what jumping down the rabbit hole of clue will do to you.  And our brave movie watchers are very much down there.  Will they pick the right ending or will they find themselves bludgeoned over the head by J. Edgar Hoover himself?  

Our Brave Podcasters find themselves back in high school once again.  Can they figure out the trigonometry to solve this love triangle or will the local bully pay someone else to beat us up.  Listen and find out!
